Oh yeah, I've had working mining drones before. One day my drones just stopped working for no apparent reason. I've rebuilt them from scratch, I've built entirely new ones, I can't get anything to work. I give the mining order, and they just sit there going "Derp" until I finally take pity on...

Least yours freaking work. I haven't been able to get a drone to mine in MONTHS, no matter how I freaking build them.

Honestly? I'd like to see shipyards just auto-center you at the start, and then every time you load a design in it compares the bounding box of the load to the bounding box of the shipyard. Long as one bounding box is smaller than the other, you're good. Stop with the positioning entirely.

Hmmm... when you tested it on the ship, was the defense computer still on your hotbar during testing? At least with weapons, hooking them to logic removes them from your hotbar, and putting them on your hotbar disconnects them from your logic. Could do an inner ship remote for manual...

I dunno, balance wise I think it would still work out. Someone who can't afford the bigger computer vs. someone who can would already be severely disadvantaged under the current system simply because the person who could afford it can already afford to be flying a much larger, much more...

So you want better results with no additional cost? We can all agree that the AI needs a revamp, its a glorified placeholder at the moment. But, I prefer the idea that tiny drone ships are "dumb" and unreliable, while larger more complex ships are capable of doing more complicated and precise...

This is actually a really interesting concept. What if weapon tiers actually restricted the number of slaved systems you could use? As in, Basic Weapons would be just that, basic weapons. Cannons, missiles, beams, and pulse. No slaved secondary/tertiary systems at all. Standard Weapons would...

You don't seem to understand what the term means. It has nothing to do with how old the game is, it has to do with the state the game is in. To put it simply: Pre-Alpha: Test builds, mostly just smoke tests to see if the code even compiles. Alpha: Basic code is running, features and core...

It should, but it doesn't. There is currently a bug where if the turret is partially powered it won't fire at all. As of my current understanding, in this example the turret would check its power supplies and either go: "Okay, I've got power!", drain that power, and realize it does not have...

Yes and no. There is nothing specifically that makes them not be good for repairs, the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct the ship automatically is a big selling point for them. However, I have found that for large ships, even if the ship fits in the shipyard it will start saying that it...

Like what, exactly? And remember, if its something 0.001% of the playerbase ever encounter, even if it is game breaking, it simply is not a priority. If something like typing the entire preamble to the South Korean constitution into chat makes the entire game uninstall itself, it might be a...

It is generally considered bad form at the very least to go onto someone's suggestion and basically go "No, I like my way better" and then promote your own thread. Also, please stop and consider the game as a whole. We have logic gate blocks. The game has an established leaning towards giving...

A $4.95 wired mouse from walmart. Even on the version of Minecraft specifically made for the PS4, the PS4 controls suck.

Yes, the turret is still only generating 1e/sec, that doesn't change. What happens is the turret tries to fire, and checks it's own energy first. If it doesn't have enough to fire, then it goes down to what it's docked to and pull energy from there.

Listen to players, but don't do everything they say. Individual players don't know what is best for any game. Just because you suggest something and they don't do it doesn't mean they didn't listen to you, it just means they listened and decided it wasn't a good idea. I'm a computer programmer...

Yeah, he basically just stated what I already said, and used it as an excuse to promote his own thread. Real classy that. Difference between the two being that his is a hard coded "this is the way it is, choose between the pre-made options" that requires more work on the part of the devs to...

Very much this. Starmade is still in fairly early alpha. Major systems are still being added. You simply don't do advertising for something that isn't at least in closed beta, because you run the almost certain risk of losing people's interest before the game comes out. If they did a big...

Best I've seen was one of my own... that was aiming at me. Back in my early days of playing the game, I discovered how well Missile/Missile did against pirates. "Self," I thought to myself, "I should make heatseeker turrets for my station!" So I did. And then the pirates showed up. Thing...

Yes, but that can be obtained in any way you want. I get ridiculous amounts of armor HP just because I like to use standard armor as an interior decorating element. When we say armor, we're usually referring specifically to hull plating to stop attacks with, aka the actual blocks that are...

Yup, like MrFURB said, armor that isn't actively stopping a shot is dead weight other than the armor hp. If your armor is even one block to the side, its pretty much worthless in actually stopping a shot. A shield cap anywhere on the ship provides protection to the entire ship. I for one will...
