I didn't ask you not to take it personally. I asked you not to make it personal. a) I'm not putting anyone in any position. The current state of the game was not decided by me, and future states of the game will not be decided by me. Don't attribute your dissatisfaction to me. The...

No need to get personal. I only ever used your name in replies to content that used your name. I have no idea why your name was used at all. I'm sure someone here will agree that there are room for opinions that differ from their own. Very presumptive, and entirely wrong. a) I'm a designer...

No it isn't, it's (probably) impossible to sell large numbers of the same ship on a server. Then perhaps you should try addressing the cause in that sentence rather than the effect: you might consider mining to be too easy, or the person selling the ships to be doing it at a price that's too...

DRM on blueprints won't give any new content. It will just stifle the pace of innovation and design evolution. You don't sell ships, but you do build them presumably, so DRM won't be encouraging any new builds. Good? I have no idea what your point is I'm afraid... Either that cost is...

For staters, value and cost are entirely different things (I'm sure you can think of free things you value very highly), and second I said MARGINAL cost. That's the cost of producing more after the original. As you can see with online piracy, people generally don't feel that something with zero...

I very strongly disagree with this idea. Have you never heard of the recording industry and record labels? Trying to stop people copying things that have zero marginal cost is ridiculous. If you want to "protect" yourself as a designer you do in one of these two ways: 1. your reputation is...

Here's a 48 sec video of it in Rhino 3D. It's not a great video, I couldn't find better, sorry, but it shows the capabilities. It doesn't show that if you click instead of drag you can also type values in for translation, scale, rotation, for times when precision is needed.

These would be excellent. Following in the lead of existing, established modelling software is exactly what SM should do re. building controls.

In real life? A sun might extend a gravitational field for billions of km before it becomes insignificant, but the distance between stars is trillions of km, so for the vast majority of space there aren't any gravitational pulls to worry about. You're joking, but if there's good stuff to...

I know, but like I said, I rarely found myself wanting more than 3. Whether or not that translates from MC to SM I don't know, perhaps shapes commonly used will require more, but my guess is that it won't be often. It's a lot less effort for the devs than implementing movable selection faces...

If programming is required to be competitive (or using other people's programming) against superior custom AI you're going to marginalise a lot of players who can't program (I'm not one of these people) or don't want to program in Starmade (I am one of these people). I want ship design (and...

In practice when using MCEdit I've found that 3 points was what I kept wishing for. The need for more was rare. I have nothing against altering the selection by moving the faces (I like it, for example in MCEdit), it's just that it's above and beyond this suggestion (it's a significant...

When you created the file you did it with copy and a base point, that would be recorded in the template file (if the suggestion is implemented). So no, you can't change the copy base point when first pasting directly from a file, but yes, you can paste to two different base points (same...

Just use two different copy base points, or two different paste base points. The situation is no worse than not having a base point. It's certainly far better than Starmade's current system, but it required holding down a nudge button and then using direction keys to get it into the correct...

My favourites are the carrier and the exploration shuttle (black).

"If"? Is there going to be a council or not? When?

Can we have a solid commitment on how long it will take to "sort a few things out" and get the council running again?

I'm a little bit surprised this hasn't been more popular (not the reason I posted it though). The copy/paste controls are really atrocious, and although I'm fairly new I haven't seen anyone with anything positive to say about them. I know it's not a sexy or exciting topic, but it's an important...

No, the design is not. Any documents or files they've produced are theirs. (e.g. the books) If they've drawn a layout/blueprint of a ship, the document that is/contains the layout is theirs, you can't reproduce that document, but you absolutely can draw and share your own image that uses the...

That's absolutely disgusting. Copyright for a work (i.e. a document or file, etc) belongs to the person who created it, and the creator of the starmade blueprints is you. The owners of honorverse have no claim over any work you do (unless you're making a copy of existing work without...
