Logic-based activation, nightrune? Link the paid module up to a button, connected to a line of delay modules, that opens the door for a small amount of time, then closes it when the signal reaches the end and another button. Real basic, shouldn't take that much logic. The door itself should be...

This thread is very similar to a thread from a while back. Very similar, so I'm just gonna also shamelessly plug it: FSM #35, one of my favorite threads, here: Recognized - Cloak, Jam, and Scan. System Revamp I don't entirely agree with the OP on that thread, but throughout the thread (Look at...

The block direction thing though....it'd allow for a small ship capable of jumping in multiple directions to avoid all fire, all the while making its escape. That said, I'd be fine with a forwards-only option. It would be simpler that way, and no less useful. More useful, in fact, in a smaller...

The basic system proposed in the OP is utterly insane and undoable. The requirements (System-wise and building-wise) are too large to consider. Every block would then have additional information attached to it that some CPU somewhere (Your own or a server's) has to keep up with all the CONSTANT...

No, the idea is for a starting ship. You give them a starting ship that details everything they might interact with, send them through a basic mission sort of thing that has them perform basic operations that the game will require. The starter ship should be really open internally, so that new...

Not really. Perhaps servers should invest some time into a simplified ship that is given to them upon spawn, and is constantly updated. Inside this ship could be hallways of tutorials and such which teach the newbie how to play the game, and then some directions to complete a basic "quest" that...

That would be a true mess. But I'd still show up just to watch the config shenanigans and utter hilariousness of random config changes based on some random noob's whims. Neat idea for experiment. If we could just set up a server for testing (This being serious now) config changes and the...

WarSong, we (The SM community) need some sort of freak testing arena of a server, where the config is whatever the crap people want that day, and you can test everything out for other servers. That way, insane ideas could be floated around and just overall enjoyed. Or hated. Like the idea that...

It's really easy to miss those darn loot clouds. Really easy. We need something more logical. As in, storages are randomly filled with random things, instead of random piles of 2000 pink advanced armor heptas dropping off of a three-block turret horizontal drive or something. Also, less pink...

The idea of a combat jump system is useful. How about this: as you charge your JD, it gains range, until 99%, where it can jump up to 1 sector's distance. After than, it reaches 100% and because of magic sound science it can reach default distances. This could (With the right logic...

Yes, oh yes, oh yes please. Never again will I have to wait after choosing the port side docker rather than the starboard docker and getting the "Structure Does Not Fit" message!

Nonhuman? Time for the torches and pitchforks! While we're on the subject, STOP IT! Just stop making so many good ships. STOP. You're making me feel like I have no creativity (Frankly, I don't have much creativity. Quit making the problem worse)

Yes but the difference is that those lasers are not firing at an armored hull, they're firing at a lightweight material built to absorb kinetic energy from the lasers.... and the lasers they'll use aren't meant to burn said armor hull into a semi-molten soup of rapidly cooling destruction. Just...

Planets may also be slightly less potato-y than pictured. All misrepresentations of in-game content or planned features may or may not be a result of a complete lack of artistic talent. Just sayin'.

6km sectors make travel tedious....and my personal server runs slightly increased max speed. I think it's 1.5 times default or something. But it does prevent random sector warping from being a noticeable and annoying trend. Which is worse than slight tedium in travel. However, the biggest...

Just gonna make a mention, since it's fun: Soon, your mechs/combat armor suits aren't going to be alone......because I need a security force for stations and stuff. I'm still waiting on the fauna update.

Well then, food metaphors in a space game (With no food, air, water, or apparent mechanisms of life). Who'd have thunk it?

Wow, Omega, you just listed a large portion of the things on the list of planned features and FSM material a bunch of new and exciting ideas. Good job! (Sarcasm)

Something I've noticed from working on a nearly default config with larger sector sizes (6km if I'm not mistaken, private LAN server): AI accuracy drops, the rate of annoying/lagging/glitch-as-heck sector changes drops significantly, and pirates stay so far away that darnit I just can't hit...

I agree with kiddan on the way to create it. That'd work nicely, I'd think. As long as you can store specially labelled decorative rail items (Like standardized rail doors) separately, somehow, and then place them as a decorative item. No mass limits---what if you want a large hangar door? Or...
