This suggestion is based on an idea by BeefBacon posted a thread about targetable missiles (and other stuff). Fighters use chaffs (radar reflecting stuff) and flares (heat sources) as decoys to distract radar-guided and heat-seeking missiles. This could be implemented into the game as...

I think a mass based system only makes sense in combination with a proper collision check. The big advantage of the current system is that checking a ship's dimensions against the docking box size requires much less computation time than a full collision check. But the necessary calculations...

That would be nice, but do it in a new post, so I get a notification.

Okay, it wouldn't be godmode, just demigodmode.

Use Ion until shields are down, then disconnect it and connect EMP instead.

I wouldn't call holding 'A' all the time (which would be godmode for smaller ships against AMCs) "well maneuvering".

Dear kids, this is what happens when people take drugs. :confused:

This would make beams and missiles the only usable weapons.

Welcome to the real world where people are different and have different opinions. I, for instance, never had a problem with the AI's accuracy.

Now is the best time to make the big changes - exactly because most ships have to be refitted anyway.

More than this.

Only true for volume = 1. If I understand you correctly you want to calculate density by dividing the volume of a ship's bounding box by its mass. With such a system we wouldn't see less death cubes, we'd see death cubes with antennas. Simply add a 50m antenna to a (50m)³ cube an the density is...

If an activator is switched on it sends an ON signal, if it's switched off it sends an OFF signal, and only the last received signal counts. I can work with it since I know it works this way now, but it will confuse many other players, especially those who already know how real logic circuits...

You can't compare density with mass or volume, that's like saying length > time. I think you underestimate how difficult it is to calculate the volume of a bigger ship. Each "air" block within the ships dimensions must be checked for being inside or outside. Imagine a hollow cube, punch a...

I have a series of delays linked to each other in a circle. I can activate a delay for a certain time to get a signal that's running through the circle indefinitely. This way I can make longer or shorter signals. So far everything works as expected, but if I add an AND gate to the circle and...

- Real turrets. - Mass based docking, no more stupid boxes. - Fix bugged turrets.

But they will get hit nonetheless because they are TOO F****** HUGE TO EVADE - unlike fighters.

With a mass-based reduction of turn rate small turrets would still be fast enough to target fighters. Ship speed doesn't matter much, since AI can lead its target. To avoid getting hit a fighter has to sidestep, for which acceleration is important, not max speed. Capital ships are always easier...

Hi, I'm Malacodor. I'm an old Minecraft veteran, and since StarMade is basically Minecraft 2.0 I simply have to play it. I'm not a big fan of copying stuff other people designed, so I try to develop a unique style by myself.

As suggested elsewhere bigger turrets should have slower turn rates (which is already planned iirc). This should be enough to make them useless versus small fighters.
