I can't really play SM since many months now (using old versions only) because of low FPS. And with the new versions I can't play at all because blocks are invisible since some lightening update. Currently, I am playing with the version after display block regex came out - it has low FPS, but I...

beams, plasma cannons, assume every form of energy turns into heat (shields!). cooling systems still have a much lower mass and higher efficiency with block count. That's why you have interior armour. Stealth ships might be cool enough to not suffer from that. Don't always think negatively...

I like your suggestion about "updating shines idea presentation" :)

Perhaps it belongs here: Support : StarMade Support

If hull has a lot of mass, it could also be used to store a lot of heat. Thermal insulation or cooling pipes might even help against thermal weapons (so why not making heat-storage an ability of hull?) ofc - interior hull would store only minimal heat (or you would cook your crew), but...

Give each chamber it's own heat box - many smaller are more interesting to handle than one large. And you still have one reactor with multiple boxes. Then maybe require a wire-frame around that heat box - so that peoples don't build ships in a way that heat volume is outside the ships hull? I...

Tells me you don't understand what I meant. If you have 24 smaller ones, you can only use 6 because of heat. It's not about how much area you have for guns, but how much area the guns you can use occupy on your ship.

But this needs to be outside the "dev build" branch, maybe an "experimental or modification branch" (else peoples might get a false idea). what connects to what which shapes are required group of blocks (similar touching, complete shape) touching another group variables pros/cons of a part...

My argument is that the attackers always have the advantage, because they wouldn't attack if they had not. They can equip weapons against the strategy you chose. If you have guns against big enemies, they swarm you. If your weapons are against swarmers, expect a frontal-assault ship or snipers...

Perhaps it's an ambush by 6 cloakers or carriers jumping into systems around you. Or perhaps your enemies have "thrust overdrive" and can "tank through swarmers which get overkilled" until they positioned around you. Don't expect to turn faster than your enemies in a ship as big if your enemies...

SkaireKrough Seems like a point that has to be repeated over and over again - thanks for doing it :)

But Capitals might face drone-spam in all directions. If they are not supposed to travel with thrust but by jump-drives, they are very likely relatively heavy relative to thrust/turn rate. I like this. If there would be a way to detect "floor blocks" with 2x empty space above, you could give...

Perhaps we speak about if stations should be allowed to be converted to ships back and forth then? What about stations with active factories? (only needs an answer if you think this thought should be continued). If a station jumps into a planet sector, it has to be repositioned not only in...

Stations might be too fragile to resist the acceleration force from thrusters. Would you try to fly combat maneuvers with a Capitals/Deathstar (moon-sized)? I just don't want to require a moon-sized ship before it gets capital-properties which allows them to only use jump-drives.

With "crew boxes" I address the issue of "submarine style interior", Crewman need space for morale. Perhaps a training hall, a garden or a bigger place to work and move freely (stretching arms/legs or simply be able to work on a second task without having to put the first task during that time...

But sometimes I get 3 replys of essentially just "what?" by the same guy requiring at least 1-2 answers making up 5 posts which sound negative. Other times I get 2-3 replys of "this (resolved) issue is a problem" and have the feeling that my thread got shut down by 9 negative posts. When it was...

I often think: how can the devs even get the game running on all the different hardware and still have learned so few about balance. And i would really like a "Suggestion Dismissing Contest" for real - a forum where you can let 3 others look for a flaw before you start a more serious thread...

Has anyone considered crew boxes? (as in: "you need 20x10x200 in total to support your current systems at their current size" …)

10000 billion blocks isn't a scout :p I would like more fields actually: Classification – tied to faction Ship blueprint name – tied to author Ship ID – tied to spawn time Ship name – tied to player choice Faction information – faction intern ship information. But not all of them have to be...

If Capitals are so big, that they effectively can't turn faster than a planet and can't even evade an asteroid impact controlled by a little drone, why should they be mobile? (EDIT: with thrust) Here you have your mobile station. (EDIT with jump) BTW: Perhaps shine could keep some sectors...
