      Replace Damage-Pulse with...

      Pulse is unique because of it's damage model, full damage to everything within it's radius. As long as it keeps that, it's still pulse. There is also the issue of boarding (which may be a thing someday), in the sense that area-triggers and pulse could basically kill any boarders without worry...

      Questions about the blueprint system and planet cores.

      That would be the case, the game seems to recognize that SP isn't a server now.

      Link Servers

      One thing to note is that it would relieve server stress, it just spreads it out. Running 2 servers and linking them might be more expensive than 1 with the combined specs. Another is that you'd need a way to send files back and forth from the different servers, which doesn't exactly exist and...

      Replace Damage-Pulse with...

      Give it a 'range', make it fire forwards (albeit very slowly) a short distance before going off, or going off on contact with something. The problem with pulse is it's close-range-ness, which doesn't work when titan-fighters scoot along sideways at max bloody speed. Thruster changes, capital...

      Starmade Propaganda

      The problem is most people can't write them off of a tax expense without upright lying about it I believe (assuming everyone here is even old enough for taxes). Most of what people here are using are free and easy to use anyways, so meh. Also, I did say tax expenses in chat shortly after Kep...

      NP Cobalt Royalty [EVE themed PVP faction]

      Yeah, that style is definitely one of his. Makes me wonder why (or 'if' really) it had NFD/DFN in the name at all.

      I suspect illegal pirating!

      Change the Behavior of Cannon Missiles to a Burst weapon

      That would be fun, I recall Cal wanting to do that with Missile/Missile as well.

      2 Empires and quests

      Such a system would need pre-built ships to be sold/bought/used, plus a lot of dialogue writing, something that I think might be best left to the community. Plus, we already have the 2 'major factions' in SP, pirate and trading guild, and I feel any addition by schine would just add on to those...

      Starmade Community Dictionary [Post entries, please!]

      HitScan is a general gaming term used for weapons that do not have any travel time. The game just checks where the gun is pointed when the trigger is pulled, and instantly hits. Quite a few games use it, like Warframe (Bullets have no travel time, but it creates a 'tracer' like shot that gives...

      Weapons Panel Improvement

      It is adding more slots basically, but instead of having 2 people in 2 ships, it's 2 people a in bigger ship. Even outs to about the same.

      Weapons Panel Improvement

      Eh, personally I do think they need a limit, if nothing else it would defeat mega waffleturrets that people like to strap to homebases. But I admittedly have a very different way of play that I want to try. Sadly I need the capital ship system and some of it's mechanics to really do it. But for...

      Weapons Panel Improvement

      Did you know there is a power penalty for having multiple outputs on 1 computer? By default, it's a 10% increase in power cost per output for each output after the 1st one. This was done because of the old waffleguns, and introduction of effects I believe, because why would you use punch/pierce...

      Defensive push effect uses?

      Results may vary

      plasma exelerator (random name could think of something)

      The shield effect actually spreads to all blocks withing a radius of the hit block, if you have a hallway under the area hit, you should see the shield effect spread around the walls and such. Not sure if it's possible to do damage on a 2D plane instead of the normal 3D sphere.

      Defensive push effect uses?

      Could always stick Push on a swarm missile group. If the group is big enough, it really toys with small ships.

      2 Empires and quests

      Sounds like an 'adventure' styled universe, something I hope people will make once we get the quest system and custom factions.

      plasma exelerator (random name could think of something)

      I like it, especially if it requires an active charging (like jump drives) to do the normal amount of damage. Would make it harder for people to spam large groups of it. The thing with damage pulse is it basically ignores a person's layer of armour, since it can hit anything in it's radius. If...

      Service Outage of 3-26-15

      It was a tad bit too widespread to be "localized". Starmade servers showed that almost all servers with authentication when to very low numbers (since people could not log on, but you were fine so long as you didnt log out). The Site also went pretty damn vacant, 12 members and 112 'guests' at...

      Service Outage of 3-26-15

      It happened today, dunno when it started, ended about an hour ago or so at most I want to say. Lasted a couple hours, I got to watch the forum online member count slowly dwindle. Also, keep in mind that people are supposed to be auto-logged out Mega, which makes the inability to log in a bit of...
