MC's way works pretty well since blocks are pretty evenly distributed. With SM the density of blocks can vary greatly. Though some way of obscuring planets may be nice.

You wouldn't expect "I build my ships from premade modules" to equal "They have a unique, consistiant style, which looks stunning, and have a cool interior and plenty of stats to blow up anyone who disagrees" but you manged to do that. P.S. are we going to see support crafts like shuttles or...

And how would this be implemented in starmade? while I can see at high altitude the mapping thing might be useful, at lower distances you still have the same problems. Not loading the other segments of a planet if you aren't looking at them is obviously something that should be added.

The devs, nearly a month ago, put out a proposal of their vision for a new thrust system. Here is my modification and expansion of it. 1: "Thrust" should be able to be split between max speed and acceleration. Why? Depending on how you want to fly your ship, you may not worry about max speed in...

Tada! all finished. Okay, not really. I'm not sure if the shield-supply beams are working correctly (I'm putting them on so I don't have to for the torpedoes.) and there is still a lot of interior and exterior detailing to do. Also logic, and can beams go through docked ships? By the way...

for salvage: make a waffleboard of salvage modules 1 deep. Fill in the gaps with cannons (attached to the salvager's secondary). Then place more cannons behind the salvage modules. Then fill inbetween those cannons with more salvagers. First layer: (c = cannon, S = salvage) ScScScS cScScSc...

A torpedo/assault shuttle bay? <censored> that's amazing and perfectly fits the chrysaetos's role. Thank you so much!

What if the ratio at which a turret loses mothership shield coverage is determined by the mass ratios? A ship based around a giant turret would quickly lose the mothership protection, while smaller turret would last longer. There also might need to be a penalty for having many, many small...

Maybe all terrain blocks can be refined into capusles (randomly chosen, but even distribution) at 100 blocks to 1 capsule (as opposed to ores/shards, which are 1 to 10 (but should be higher)

Erm what? Also I'm making this in singleplayer, though I'm honored that'd you'd want to join.

Firing arcs for all weapons (even onboard) needa to be limited. I don't want to accidentally hit a docked ship in my field of view. Anyway, I still don't see why a turret clipping through itself is a huge problem in terms of balance. Clipping through the mothership, I see that (you use the...

Um, I can't fit docks in there, since it's too short (docking system needs work) and also I already have room for 10 fighters in my shuttebays already (or a lot more drones) Thanks

Are those going to be vertical-launch seekers in the slots on top?

Note to self: equip own kilonaught with drone systems.

OKay, interiors could use a little bit of polishing, but they're good.

#needsmorewedges. What do the interiors look like?

What would be the difference between the two trees? Why would anyone feel the need to switch to the more complex version?

I mean, basic vitals you probably want to churn out. But for effects, weapons and utilities you probably don't want them that easy to get. Mergedit: So, I managed to come up with a full road map for everything you need to make a ship. It's surprisingly sparse, but that's because most things...

Here's a proposal I threw together quickly for the basic systems. It's probably a bit too simple, I could probably give each element on the levels another ingredient that's different for each one, but hey, it's still better then the rat's nest we have now. Also, needs some quantities.

Again, it's not clear what needs to made in order to get stuff. If we organize things into categories, it should make things easier for players. So categories would be: basic systems (power, shields, thrust), weapons, effects, utilities (supply/drain, astrotech, salvager), decorations. So basic...
