I disagree. I think a ship should be able to fully regenerate if it has the inventory to do so. However, tech beams should be super-slow, and probably non functional in combat (when shields are regenerating at a lower rate). And as long as the regeneration rate is half that of a shipyard, or...

I remember how you could do stuff like this in FRED, the editor for Freespace, to create interesting ship events. This will be great for Starmade. I would recommend also adding a /entity_rotate_speed command for admins to get things turning a little faster. I think this would be needed, because...

The fact is, there is no difference. It's all-too-easy to slip from mere piracy to griefing. In fact, it's a subjective viewpoint anyway, because a fair and balanced act of piracy to one person is unfun griefing to another person. In fact, the viewpoint can change within the same player from...

Damaged Block Repair Damaged NPC Repair NPC "turrets" (stationary security) Fauna-related Fleet Commands (attack, capture, ambush, avoid, etc.) NPC guard-routing (strict point-to-point travel) NPC mass-population routing (make an area look busy, just by having NPC crew wandering around from...

Excellent! If you are looking for ideas for area 3, I would recommend an extendable UDS docking arm on each side that starts out retracted in the ship, but can extend out to the full width of the ship. I can't help but think the ship could use an observation deck that doubles (triples?) as a...

:eek: That... was unexpected. Did you make the hull out of dirt? Maybe the game's growth algorithm grew trees out of dirt. (It's entirely possible that the game replaced the hull with dirt blocks. :D ) If it's made out of metal, I'm flabbergasted. It's like that one scene from "Creepshow"...

This concept would be really easy to program into the game. Logic functioning across entities: already working with wireless blocks I think the Schine team already likes the suggestion of wireless blocks on separate entities that touch auto-linking together. All that remains? More shared...

I'm not sure this would be a good vanilla-game addition, but it could be a very fun mod. Unfortunately, with the way it is talking about huge ships and geometric growth, it would quickly degrade to the point where you would defend your territory not by creating militarily superior fleets, but...

Do you make multiple planets? I would like to see them! How's the lag compared to a regular dodecahedron planet and what size do yours reach? Have you tried different building styles? E.g. Using wedges and even other shapes (slabs, tetras, etc.) to more smoothly form geography; wild biomes...

I have long wanted to build ships that can be "built up", either as a small shuttle in charge of a larger ship's systems, or as modular upgrades, like what you'd find in a classic 2D shoot-'em-up, like Gradius, Raiden, Flying Shark, R-Type, etc. It's also kind of fun to blow entire bits off of...

I think you need to hit a length of 9 reactor blocks before their efficiency-per-block starts to exceed individual, unattached reactor blocks. It's been a good, long while since I checked the numbers, so YMMV.

I get my systems from newegg.com. I will wait to get a bundle deal on sale, which usually includes a case, gaming motherboard with 6 GB/s HDD headers, high-end processor, at least 8 GB RAM, and a power supply of at least 430 W. Also, get yourself some really nice fans with really nice...

I remember way back when I first joined, a request to allow cameras to move side-to-side, yet still easily usable, as security cameras.

Well, then you select the slave as normal ("C") and look for the red outline to see what control block(s) are controlling the block you have selected.

Actually, converting pathing from 2D to 3D is surprisingly easy (basically adding one more square and maybe a square root function to the existing two squares and one square root), once one knows how to reduce the equations. Besides, 3D math didn't change much after 2013. When I looked at the...

I don't even think a new block type is needed. Just change the function of the salvage block when placed on non-ship entities. I'd recommend keeping it functional on a non-homebase station as a refinery, but at a greatly reduced rate, to simulate refinery stations that are refining...

I think he's simply talking about setting the same inventory count to every shape in the multistack and adding one to that number when salvaging a matching block of any shape. (So salvaging a grey hull wedge would add "1" to the count for all five shapes in the grey hull multistack, not just the...

Awe-inspiring progress, nightrune. Very, very great. You deserve applause. (At least a golf clap.) Captain Picard approves.

On Linux, I find it in Steam/SteamApps/common/StarMade/StarMade under ~/.local/share, so you'll want to check for another "StarMade" folder under the "Steam/common/StarMade" folder you described.

What would be the best color that is not already in use? Would Red work? If memory serves, blue-green, green, and purple are in use. I think Yellow and pure Blue are still available.
