      the future of jump drives?

      I remember talk about another FTL system or two, once "real capitol ships" get introduced. Would be nice if they introduced a "shape" mechanic to jump drives that differentiated charge speed, distance traveled, and power consumption. Be nice to have a way to make your jumps either longer or...

      Sensor + area triggers

      Either for activation gates, or area triggers, the self-resetting logic in this download fixes your "problem" with doors. It also fixes a problem you did not mention: more than one person using the door at once.

      The Apparent Cancer That Is Docked Hull

      Just going to point-out that I could easily make a BIG turret that acts as a "where I need it" slab of hull & shields even with your proposed nerfs. I like the "send it to momma" mentality of what you say, and even agree with the docking bit. I'd even go so far as to make...

      Docked Space Station Parts

      Yup, done that, never quite finished it. I ended up making use of "stacked" turret-axis connections to get "below 45 degree" rotation, and overlapping the oddball angle sections that met with plexdoors(open till moved into place, closed once they are already clipping). pro/con: every section...

      I agree, even plebeian gods should know how to possess things.

      project 1969

      0.o How a 5v 500mA device could ever burst into flames is beyond me. Unless it's a wireless mouse, cause batteries. Still. I will say: if you change sector size, you should reduce weapons range :)

      single axis turret that does aim (handy for guided missiles)

      Indeed. you can easily make a ship with one axis "dead-zone" that can (at long range) have GREAT 2-axis offensive power, stack of "pie plate" turrets to either side and just keep range and your front "mostly" pointed(Ie the varience of your own from ship aiming) at the target. Works just...

      single axis turret that does aim (handy for guided missiles)

      AFAIK AI can "bend" it's shots around 15 degrees off-axis of firing point, so locons have an even bigger "window" they can use(as well as having zero lock-on timer), cannons can "bend" up/down a small degree even without a second axis. Hell, you can mount fairly large weapons systems without...

      The expanding on factions thread

      I'd think something like "spawn defender waves" (MOB_SIM_XXX_##[yourfaction] ) using faction points would be a good addition. Where XXX is a faction blueprint "defender spawnable" checkbox set up by anyone with a high enough faction rank. Scale the points consumed to BP mass, and have and...

      station rails locked up

      For single player I've found that running a unique server-instance of starmade and "locking it off" to specific processor cores, then connecting from a second instance via "localhost:4242" (locked to the OTHER cores) fixes rail-freezing and logic-freezing. Is it possible NFD is maxing out it's...

      backwards connecting logic lines

      Better yet. C to select, X to "backwards" connect, V to "forwards" connect. Why? Because ZXCVB

      Cloaking device

      Sure, I think first thing is letting logic do these systems (and other passives) via direct on/off switch turn computers into "spotlights" from their face to show "on". Blue signal activate, period. Red signal, inactivate, period. have jammer "scramble" your radar sig, shifting it around like...

      Creating effective and efficient mining systems

      Flagship cannot mine, are you using the salvager in question as second place or more? I've used "mothership" docked to home base -> parasites set to mothership for docking/recall purposes. Launch drones from docked mothership leaving it on "base" for a platform, send parasites to sectors and...

      Modular ships

      I'm going to share one of my favorite exploits with you. -Fill a station blueprint -get in a ship -Point the ship in some arbitrary direction -spawn the station blueprint from inside the ship core ::Station is now aligned to "face" whichever way the ship was facing, regardless of which way it...

      Weapon Damage mechanics

      use your delete menue to look at your weapon system. Cannons in this case. damge will have a string of values like 75/45/22/12/5 One BIG gun will do 75 damage to the first block, if it's NOT destroyed it will do another 45 to that same block, if NOT destroyed 22, etc So the "remainder" of the...
