Oops, yes, thank you, my math is off.

I have to disagree with this suggestion. This goes from a 3-byte system to a 16-byte system. :eek: We're already nervous about a move up to 4 bytes. If I were to make an immediate change, I would go ahead and up the count to 4 bytes, and merge the orientation bits with the Block IDs, so each...

The main page is on numerous proxy blacklists, falling under "gaming"... but starmadedock is not! Woohooo!

I'm not sure I understand the suggestion. Is this a suggestion for secondary rail connections, so that if the first connection fails, the second connection will take over, reducing the chance of rail disconnection (and the lag storm that results)?

The new power system suggestion sounds A LOT like the "quarters" idea that had popped up many months ago, regarding crews. I am looking forward to this change, because I think it will lead to quarters and the big payoff: crew quarter systems. If it feels "right" enough, it might even spill over...

Your opinion is appreciated. However, I use thrusters in close quarters as productive decoration (versus non-productive decorative blocks like girders, computers, and fans), and having a thruster plume obnoxiously cut off my hallway or intrude into some other unwelcome area is irritating. For...

As always, I would like turret AI to have a hierarchical target-selection list, where it goes for the highest-rated target on the list that it can hit. I would like to see "firegroups" as a relatively ambiguous "item" that has target selection criteria to pick the most convenient target that...

Much like lighting was removed from capacitors, I think effects should be removed from system blocks and re-implemented as decoration. I think thruster plumes need to be created by decoration blocks, not thruster systems.

If it's designed to be filled by the builder, it needs to have an option for the player/faction to override the class text. Imagine: if the builder purposely classifies their heavy battlecruiser as a "light scout", specifically to draw in victims looking for an easy salvage, the player should be...

Try downloading version 0.199.132 and see if that version will do the conversion for you. Let us know how it goes. I'm not sure, but I think this file might be the correct version to do the conversion. All versions are archived and can be downloaded separately here.

OK.

This request is the equivalent of asking to remove cloaking and jamming from the game. Scanners will be put on clocks immediately, and that effectively ends all cloaking and jamming.

I am actually looking forward to seeing how the changes will alter ship design. I expect some of my ideas will be more viable with a new system than they are now. Bring it on!

It is indeed early in development, making this a perfect time to suggest a radical change. The longer you wait to implement a needed change, the more it will hurt, and the more players will flee. Make the change now.

I disagree with demo vs. paid game at this time for a number of reasons. 1. The game content is in flux, being an alpha game. Having different versions available to freely look at the progress of the game is a good, transparent way to prove that Schine is actually building a game, not just...

Solar sails have been suggested before. They always have the same problems. On the RP side of things, there is no difference between a new solar-sail "block" versus using custom visuals built from decorative blocks, combined with hidden thrusters to accomplish the same thing, with fewer...

I agree, and think the weapons would look and feel infinitely better when the game introduces proper particle effects. (Proper particles! Not the test puffs that have been tested years ago....) Particles (and sounds if they want it) will really add punch to weapons. I think it's just a matter...

Are you looking for ships that can be built just from the starting blocks of a vanilla Starmade game, maybe plus some that can be bought with the starting credits? Or just a general frigate-fest or corvette-coterie? It sounds like you are not yet too concerned with limiting to starting blocks...

7. adj. The entity's status of being able to be left alone and non-invulnerable for approximately 30 days on a public server not farther than 20 sector lengths from spawn, containing more than 100 non-invisible blocks, and remaining mostly intact, factioned correctly to the original owning...
