Yep, pretty much. I think the only really useful class names would be either A. universally agreed upon, which we've learned will basically never happen, or B. evocative enough to really get across the idea of the ship, which is trickier than it sounds. But beyond that, I'm advocating naming...

Ok, I swear I'm going to do my best to be brief, but I was raised amongst a bunch of English nerds, so we'll see how well that goes. We have test sectors that can be reached through a command in the shipyard. At the moment, they're just an empty sector you can fly around in to make sure you...

You know, we already get virtual sectors from shipyards. If we could just invite others into our virtual sectors.... if anyone needs me, I'll be in the suggestion forum.

Love Starmade, love ranting about space even more.

I was confused, not offended. And while I would receive untold glee if these names somehow caught on in general use, but I really don't think it's necessary to the game. You're definitely right about the list being too small, although I will point out that it is about double the base that...

I'll take that under advisement. You know, for this thing that I'm not in any way implying should be officially recognized in any way whatsoever.

Hear me out you guys/gals, I swear this is not the thread you think it is. So something that has been bugging me (for what I'll admit is no good reason) is the whole ship classification discussion. Specifically, I'm not convinced that spaceships would use the same naming conventions as naval...

I wonder if they could set it up so you could switch a ship to "stationary mode" so things like shipyards and factories (or even gates) could work. It would be one way to run a "capitol ship" as it's been described by the developers.

So this is basically a sub faction, yeah? Neat concept. Would you use this to just hire NPCs to passively generate income, or do you see it as more of a player run option?

In perusing these fine forums, I have discovered that much of the community is in the dark about the fate of this game. "What is Starmade supposed to be," one paraphrased commenter asked "If not a sandbox space game?" In defending the development team, another said "They can't reveal their...

Okay, I assumed stack size was just by item count, not volume. I understand now.

Good idea, let's do that. One question: would it be better to sort by weight or volume? I know there's very little difference now, but I seem to recall plans to overhaul that.

This seems like it would mesh really well with the planned NPC morale system, and mutinies. The impression I'm getting is that _ Points (whatever we end up calling them) are sort of an abstraction of the well being of your faction, so of course it makes sense that if your faction is poorly...

So in case anyone was wondering, missile slaved miners waste a lot of their beams when automining. No, it doesn't matter and yes, you can go back to your lives now.

Oh you want to copy the angle, that makes more sense. I'm cool with that, yeah.

Is this not possible with logic? It sounds quite possible with logic. And not much more difficult to get right, though I probably have a different idea of how this would work than you do. If you want a gear box, how about a free spinning docking point? Actually, once we've got clipping worked...

EM resistant hull ain't bad, don't forget we already have a magical energy resistant field in shields. A repurposed version of that magic makes as much sense to me as adding more magic to hulls. Either way, one potential issue with blocking outgoing radiation is storage. Houses from around the...

A mapping command would be nice, just have a scanner equipped ship fly through the system and map out what station types are in the sector. This would become more useful, I imagine, once exploration is addressed (here's hoping for the next dev cycle after npc's!). That, and I for one could...

Would area triggers not work for this? I confess, my experience with them is limited.

You know what? Let's talk about Minecraft. Specifically, let's talk about how that game had a suspiciously similarly sized development team, style, and development arc. See, when you talk about "Once upon a time", That was way after I got into Minecraft. There was no End, no dragon, no dungeons...
