      The council propaganda thread

      I would maintain that a councilor should be an expert, so as to better communicate to the community the nuances of the game as it exists and as the devs intend for it to exist.

      More realistic ship environment

      Faction homebases are not permanently invulnerable.

      More realistic ship environment

      Once again, that forces a player into building something they may otherwise not want to, just so they might leave their ship. Some people don't want to be in a faction, some factions don't have a home base, some people just don't like to dock their ships. Forcing a playstyle = bad.

      Starmade Propaganda

      I like the idea behind this, but it might be a bit more penile than you intended.

      More realistic ship environment

      I am imagining it and am unable to come up with a use that isn't immediately exploitable by trolls, people under the age of 16, or megafactions. If you have to rely on the good nature of the playerbase to make an idea work, it is a bad idea.

      Godyard

      Nowhere did I mention interior, I get that it's a hammer, and hammers are generally very plain, but you have absolutely zero detailing on the exterior. You can still build a plain cube have it look like an actual thing.

      Black Mamba Assault Carrier WIP Update 4/8

      Excellent exterior, this ship has come a very long way. I would suggest, however, that you rework the interior, as it does not match the exterior's feel. The slope of the core room is nice, but you would do well to add some depth to the walls.

      Godyard

      You don't need us to tell you your ship lacks detail, I am sure you are aware of this. Might I suggest, at the very least that you make it more symmetrical, or at least use http://www.plotz.co.uk/ to make the handle semi-circular?

      More realistic ship environment

      So, you want to make faction protection useless? And every time I leave my ship I should have to worry about my ship being dumb enough to get nabbed? And as a faction leader, I need to vet or place absolute trust in every new members that wants to join my faction? This forces players into a...

      Great Powers, Secondary Powers, and Spawn Emissaries

      Yeah, you can do this already. What makes it cool and unique is that it's not a system supported by the game. I also have a similar on TRAF's Starmade. Unfortunately, adding the functionality to the game limits the system for everybody who wants to implement it exactly in their own way. My...

      Color Slider for Hull Colors, Hull Paint and Buff to Hull

      Maybe, some time in the far future, sixty or seventy years from now and when devs who haven't already rejected the idea are dead and gone, we can revisit the issue. Until such a time, let's maybe drop it, or at least use the search function before we bring it up again.

      Surprise Dev Update

      I think we should see how schema wants to do it and then yell at each other and him later.

      AI controlled Ship management and Fleets

      So, I take it you didn't search for, AI Fleets, before posting?

      Switching to Java 64 Cause FPS Drop?

      Welp, make sure you haven't allotted more RAM than you have available.

      Switching to Java 64 Cause FPS Drop?

      How much memory have you allocated? In the first SM menu, go to memory settings, give yourself a hardy portion.

      Mahlazor-Class Destroyer

      I'm sorry this didn't get more attention yesterday, have a like you glorious bastard.

      More shapes for carved blocks.

      Logical fallacies apply theoretical debates. We are talking about a finite resource.

      Surprise Dev Update

      I am worried about small turret design, as the computers required to make the barrel work would take between 1 and 3 blocks of space. I wonder how it would be possible to balance this.

      More shapes for carved blocks.

      I find they work very well for floor detailing, and also making potted plants. Put one carved orange-y block with two tree leaves on top, it looks great.
