Whoops, sorry. Downloading Skyrim Special Edition and the boards derped on me. My bad!

We all know that the fleet commands in game at the moment are... ahem... limited. And we know they're working on making it better, that this is the bare bones "will it even work?" prototype phase for the entire thing. So, why not help Schine out and get some nice public brainstorming on what...

Yup, when fleets get to the point you can have players ordering not just the fleet but fleet subsets to do different things, then we'll see... not the death of the titan, but the death of the titan as the go-to ship. When you can have wings devoted to taking out drones/fighters, wings devoted...

Yeah, just a heads up that like many other games, PvP generally boils down to a very small subset of players actually wanting to do it for the fun of the challenge of actually playing against other players on equal footing, and a whole lot of people that are so afraid of losing their ships they...

Way to single out the "Maybe do this" as if that was the primary purpose of the thread.

I find it good enough, though I often have to go inside and clean out excess blocks if I only wanted single thick hull.

No I meant actual thrust generated. If we can't use thrusters as efficient gap filler anymore, the overall amount of thrusters we can easily put in a ship has decreased. I'm talking about further limiting where thrusters can be placed by saying they need to be in contiguous blocks (like aux...

As of the thruster plume update, we have to be very careful about where we put thrusters because they will generate plumes through layers of armor and even into internal spaces if placed too close. They can't be used as the willy nilly gap filler they used to be anymore. And if we are having...

Yeah, would make it a lot easier to mirror build ships when you don't have to stop and switch sides for the displays to make the door labels come out right every time.

Yup, and shop spawn rate is a configurable event, so it can vary from server to server. Its also why shops/abandoned stations appear to be "backwards". The stations (abandoned and pirate) are generated when the system is (aka, when the game first creates the universe), so they show up on the...

Dude, I think he was joking...

Since it looks like free floating hologram mode from display blocks is going to be sticking around, and everyone is wanting an easier way to push the text off the block, how about if we just keep precedence with the rail speed controller and the sensor blocks... linked activators? Display block...

For follow up on the "just fly around", its my understanding that the trading guild functions (like shop restock, guild ships flying around, etc) go on whenever there is a shop there. To keep the game from basically crashing or being super slow due to trying to keep track of thousands and...

Fly around. Shops only spawn in explored areas, they aren't there when the universe is created. Generally speaking these days build a station where you want and start mining and you'll have tons of shops spawn around you.

Thats just it, they look fine when I post them here. Here's the screenshot out of Starmade with F6: See? Looks fine here. Let me print screen of what I see in my editor, see if the distortion will show up... There we go, looks like it shows up this way. See how the nebula looks like a...

Yeah, but then its a case of "do I fix it now and tear everything apart to remove it if/when it gets fixed, or leave it broken now so that its correct if/when it does get fixed?"

Weird, I tried making some examples, and I think its just my graphics program that displays them funny.

I know its been a nebulous "someday" thing for a while now, but just putting back out there a request for better cross-entity lighting. This is a section of hallway in my new ship. That black square in the center is actually the same dark grey block as the ones around it, it just happens to...

Quick question, the quality of the screencaps I get using the standard in-game F6 method are fairly low. Is there a setting somewhere that will allow me to crank that up?

I would assume with a cloak like this you would take on the physical dimensions of the larger of the two ships, so that you don't have a shuttle generating a titan that docks in a way that looks really weird.
