A swarm of smaller ships of the same mass as a single larger ship will win just about every time. Main reason we don't see them more in game now is because it requires a LOT of human pilots to run them, or a LOT of disposable ships that have to be constantly resupplied to the carrier because...

I see OP the same way I see many people that come through the server. "Anyone have a faction I can join?" "No, but we can give you a lift to unclaimed space." *XXXX has left the server* Aka, "I want everything handed to me right from the start, or I'll just go somewhere else that will."

Yes, Starmade isn't Minecraft, but it is a voxel game so comparisons are inevitable. The thing I miss most from Minecraft that Starmade doesn't have is... survival. As in building and maintaining the structures that make it a non-issue for a day to day basis. Specifically things like building...

Okay, this may be controversial, but with how we now have slabs that work off the base cube block, what if we expanded to all hull/armor/etc shapes? As in, you manufacture a Standard Red Armor block, a cube, and then have sliders that let you turn it into wedges, heptas, etc? If all given...

I believe I recall hearing that they were actually going to simply make a setting for you to tell the factory how much of something to make. As in you tell it to make 1k thrusters, and it will make exactly 1k thrusters and then stop. Which is a much better and far more useful answer than...

Increase Jump Distance. Double the jump drive distance from 8 sectors to 16 so that you travel one system per jump. Double warp gate distance to match to keep the ratio we have now.

Eh, I think that would be a little redundant. To make our stations and ships match, the station blocks would need to look like regular armor, at which point its pretty silly to have two identical looking blocks. Would be better to simply have a way to convert rock either directly into armor or...

Yes, actually, although I'm using medicine cabinets in this one: http://starmadedock.net/threads/exmachina-faction-home-wip.21898/#post-251246

I currently make sinks by having a 3/4 white hull slab between two white standard armor cubes. Behind it I have blue crystal armor with black standard behind it to make a mirror. But actual sinks would be nice too! :P

No problem, glad to be of help! We can always use more skinners!

The .smskin file is really just a renamed zip file. Open an existing skin by renaming it .zip and you can edit the files in any graphics program, then when you're done just zip them back up and change the extension back to .smskin and then upload the skin into the game normally.

I think the biggest problem until recently is that the game had stagnated a bit due to lack of new options. I mean, sure, rails were a huge thing, but they take a lot of work to get up and running for even something as simple as a door, so a lot of people didn't really use them, and those that...

Yeah, right now if you want bigger beams, you gotta checkerboard your array.

Doesn't matter: http://star-made.org/news/starmade-v0-19498-slabs-new-blocks Biggest decorative change I'd like to see is automatic tiling blocks. Blocks that automatically sense when there is another block next to them and update their own texture to match. Like glass panes or fence posts...

Can't tell you how many times I've wished for so much as wood wedges. Full on wooden planks would be even better!

Oh who are we kidding? We eat babies and we know it.

Yes, but much like antibiotics, you must only use it when you absolutely need it, or else Bench will become immune to it.

I'm pretty sure that at this point I could build a Dyson Sphere out of junk planet parts.

In all due fairness, what your beginner salvager could mine in a week real time our advanced miners could likely eat through in minutes. I can eat an entire planet in under an hour with my general purpose combat miner.
