I think there needs to be a special exception for warheads: If they are placed in build mode, they probably should have shield protection. However, if they are placed by an external entity (think: boarding party), they should have 0% shield protection. (think: demo charges)

I would prefer that a text-to-speech engine be used to dynamically generate voices. I think Google's text-to-speech project is dead, but on the other hand, I think Mary TTS for Java is still alive. GitHub - marytts/marytts: MARY TTS -- an open-source, multilingual text-to-speech synthesis system...

If this were to become a thing, I'd like to suggest a supplementary build change: be able to link a light to a capacitor block. The capacitor is taken out of the ship's pool. It would still gather energy while the ship has power, and when the power is out, it would supply energy to that one...

The key word is logic: Imagine clicking a button on the hotbar to perform a common function quickly. (E.g. Turning off turret AI when in friendly territory; then quickly switching it back on in the wild. Resetting turret alignment at the beginning of a logic cycle to retract them under a hull...

I'm not sure a replacement would be welcome in this community, but people are always interested in complete ideas for new reactor builds using the existing blocks. (E.g. Special power bonus if you create a reactor with three non-touching enclosed reactor block cages with capacitors filling the...

Expanding on the idea: Invisible Anchor Block as the first block. Invisible Chain block and invisible cable block as subsequent blocks, to set the kind of cable, whether it will be round (cable) or a chain link. Use C-V to link them in a chain, and as the player, you can draw exactly where the...

In any case, I think this is a perfectly valid suggestion.

I think security is common and important enough to warrant a special security feature, and shouldn't require advanced logic to get right, like the game requires now.

Revenue Stream Not Found. Abort, Retry, Fail? (The server has GOT to be paid for by something other than rainbows, unicorns, and the good will of fans, although it might be possible to get enough voluntary donations to last for a few years, but that is extremely unlikely.)

My titan definition for Starmade is purely size-based, so a titan can perform any role and be as weak or as strong as the builder wants: 1. At least 1000 blocks in at least one dimension 2. At least 1 million blocks (so excluding stick ships like jump-explorers, stick carriers, stealth sticks, etc.)

I would suggest that each dynamically generated faction get an AI "director", which serves as the leader of the faction, to focus their efforts on specific goals. Example goals: Conquer the systems to the right of the home systems; mine resources in nearby neutral sectors, but leave the...

I'm not sure a new block is even necessary. Imagine: Having a block pointing the opposite direction. The beam is simply drawn between the two endpoints. Or maybe instead of relying on the direction of the block, have a third option for whether the block will be the start point of the ray, the...

A quick update to the Leopard Dropship in StarMade version 0.19522. Leopard Dropship I gave her 100% stop effect, so she can hover for dropping in a combat zone and quickly jet off again. It's got more than a 2:1 thrust/mass ratio, so it should be able to move around quick enough. The shape...

Since the dropship no longer relies on cubic storage spaces, I was able to form the hull a lot more like the original shape. Added Full Stop effect. Dropships should be able to hover to drop in a combat zone.

I suggest a new tag for the display block, maybe named "<projection>". This takes the video overlay and uses GL projection to move it from the display block, in the direction the display block is facing, and paints a mirrored copy of the display overlay on whatever surface is across an open...

These entries in the Community Content look good to me, but probably need massive refits to bring them up to speed. Manual Hull (I respect that highly): Enterprise NX -01 WIP(Manual Build No model import) Lots of Hull details (might also be manual? It would take lots of manual work to get...

Well, Java's tagline is "Write Once, Run Anywhere"....

Exactly. The turret would shoot straight at the target you are aiming at. I am thinking along the lines of left-clicking your weapons vs. right-clicking your weapons. With left-clicking, all shots converge on a single point. With right-clicking, all the weapons shoot straight out from their...

Have you tried Kupu's Test FX Pack? It's got bigger beams. FX test pack As for the "why" they don't scale yet, the dev team probably hasn't settled on a size algorithm, or they are waiting to see how everybody feels about the cannon autoscaling, or they might even still be considering the...

Academic exercises are fun. You wouldn't have to round down the populace. Any issue that involves the evacuation of the entire planet will kick off enough chaos and panic to reduce the population for you. You're probably looking at a 5% breakage. If we are talking about a world big enough to...
