      Allow Shop Blocks On Ships

      @ op: Yes. SHips should be allowed shop modules, BUT trade node and network access should be disabled (because physical shipments). @ peaople who think shop-ships are redundant: - A prime use case I can think of is an established faction putting a shop-ship near spawn and exchanging them as...

      Shop Module Difficulties

      Distance between trade nodes matters a lot. If yer only 4% cheaper they better be very close to you. if you're 50% cheaper you should see a lot of npc activity on your shop every simulation-tick

      StarMade v0.199.402 - Fixes and Textures

      Me too. Do you not hate it when you wake up with a dull ache and even your hair hurts a bit? Get well soon. Thanks for pushing through.

      SOS!

      You can run starmade just fine off of a USB thumbdrive(3.0 preferred, 2.0 ok, 1.0 not fast enough), if the problem is write permissions or space available. You can technically use programs to use the main PC as a server and the laptop as a terminal, but most of those would use the laptop's GFX...

      An (untested) idea for backup shielding

      no. they are identical to Advanced/crystal armor, except zero systems hp. The file in question is shown to you in that spoiler tag. name and location. :) You can also look at the wiki, top bar of starmadedock.net, full block list there. :)

      Designated Power

      irony about docked entities, if you build your docked hull segments to be "already clipping" with the other entity. EG closed-after-dock blast/plexdoor arrangement "digging into" the other entity as an example. so unfair with double-density HP in an area and bypassing de-dock lag.

      More Realistic Planet Shapes

      I really hope it's truncated blocks that "warp" visually back to square as you get close. (Or discworlds)

      Don't you think that push/pull/stop effects are weak?

      I've also noticed that beams only apply momentum if they are within the BASIC beam's range. a b/b/s will HIT at max range, but only apply momentum at the same range as a b/-/s. Havn't tested in in 2 patches so MAY have been fixed, but I doubt it

      Settings for lowend pcs

      my experience on sector sizes is entirely opposite. Large sectors do not lag (espescially client FPS lag) anywhere near as much as small sectors. The load/unload is a major component of traveling, and lower speed(or fast HDD) CAN mitigate that. The main problem I notice is there's a lot of...

      These are not the planets you are looking for (makes hand motion)

      To me, that sounds like the most rational argument to "roll back" planets to diskworlds UNTIL the "do them right for what we want the experience of them to be" variant is implemented. The current ones really need to be viewed as a failure IMHO, just look at the lag-logs on the servers. :P At...

      Settings for lowend pcs

      for single player. Search settings.cfg and turn almost every "true" to "false"(including asteroid dynamic physics, simulation, etc), set sector sizes to something large (to avoid loading/unloading sectors so often, even if more can be in each sector) set planets and asteroids to small values...

      Getting a server to build outside of homebase protection

      I have a LOT of hope for the next round of updates. If/when Player factions get the same or similar automatic mining/defense of sectors that NPC factions have the resource scarcity that prevents expansion won't be as much of an issue. The real game starts when you stop worrying about blocks ;)

      Help! Just spent ages building a ship in my shipyard and I've built it the wrong way

      lol. Somebody learned to pay attention to the arrow in the top-middle of their build-mode screen.

      Creative Space (ship Dock)

      WEll, you COULD change your local server to "battlemode" or "personal sectors" which would reduce the server size drasticly...also setting "simulation spawn" to zero, NPC FACTIONS Per GALAXY to zero, etc... will lower the load if you're playing starmad on your highschool graphing calculator.

      Bug my own faction isn't my faction? (single player)

      fix yourlogin name to the same name you originally used. sounds to me like you changed it :) for admin commands type"/faction {Tab key}" into the single player chat window. it will give you a list of all the commands to join factions etc if you need to compare names of avatar

      Edge Lines view enhancement.

      I just made a modified texture pack Heh, I just finished making a texturepack to deal with that problem on a build I'm doing. I support your idea 100% ugly building textures
