Grey / default blocks for missing textures are fine - nothing wrong with that. The problem is we can't count on a consistent range of blockIDs being kept open for custom textures/blocks. Another problem of course is currently the game is crashing with custom blocks. The attempt at having the...

The best solution is a check-box on the launcher. Make it simple. ;) Just make sure it doesn't break people's custom texture packs... or... if you're absolutely going to break textures, create a new system that lets us players make custom tex packs and block configs easily, once and for all...

ditto that - the std hull as a smooth surface is good to have in-game. Developers need to just create a consistent texture and block system, and allow us the players and server managers to create and easily maintain our own custom textures and blocks without having to worry about each new patch...

Good luck. It was a good tex pack. Glad to see someone has picked it up again. Be sure... however... to keep lobbying the developers to actually support (and hotfix, ahem, right now) those of us out there using custom tex and blocks.

Yes, this is a terrible game-breaking bug, as many servers have made custom texture packs or custom blocks. They need to hotfix it immediately, but so far.... nothing. Here's the really easy workaround: downgrade. Frustrating? Yes, of course. Honestly, I would just run 1 patch / release...

It's a nice suggestion, in the OP, but it's merely a bandaid on the real problem, until Schine optimizes the game gfx engine. This is long overdue. Granted... I also, personally, don't think people should all run around in 800m ships, but focus on ships <200m. Keeps the game faster and more...

Wow, name calling, how mature. Well kid, next time define exactly what you want, eg - which type of slabs, instead of making a blanket (and wrong) statement, and expecting everyone to read your mind. Universe doesn't revolve around your point-of-view ;p You were probably yelling at Schine...

...light SHOULD shine through slabs. Why in the world do you want a fix for this? Use a solid block. How about you actually hotfix the #1 thing crashing people out of servers right now - the custom texture / block question? Seriously, this is a slap in the face to your players. A really...

You missed the point, and... *looks at my join date* *looks at your join date* ...noob... SMH Also, are we defining "Community" to be 55 people? That's consensus on the "Dock" right? Got it. 55 people is now the StarMade Community. Thanks :)

...clearly, it escapes you, so I will be direct and succinct: There will never be even close to 1000 people voting in a council election. As of thus far, even 10 votes would "rig" it pretty well. ;P

infinitely, you say? That's an infinitely large claim, with infinitesimal proof %) Install it on a 400-600m ship. Test it. Report back your results. Calculate drive block count, mass, and cost as well, both absolute numbers and % of the total ship. When people's servers are crashing from...

1000... lul, as if.

No. Period. There are far more free2players than payers in SM, and their voices and opinions are equally valid and valueable. If you're worried about fake votes, there are a variety of other ways to secure the voting process besides going "P2V". Plus, if someone were so motivated, they could...

..couldn't resist...

Ofc, there is nothing wrong with them as is, now. Inhibitors balance them, as well as the space needed that you lose from weapons or shields.

we have custom alphabet blocks on our server that will make your sign a lot smaller :)

Yes, players had too much voice and input to the game and community, so 7 council members was too many. They have decided to cut back on how us players are represented. Also, this just in, you must buy your votes, and your right to vote! Only players who have bought into the _alpha_ can vote...

...because, during frame rate lag, a good turrets is the only way you can actually fight. Besides, fewer and bigger turrets will cause less lag. Better turrets design will cause less collision detection checks/ errors/ lag. Also,, if the devs would optimize Collison detection with turrets and...

...gritting my teeth...

It's a huge issue for all servers, sadly, and a major source of player loss in our community - frustrations with 5fps or less. All we can do for now is keep petitioning the devs to stop adding more features that continue dragging down frame rate and server performance, and instead focus on...
