Assuming its ever fixed. A lot of the problems with StarMade at the moment are the result of being written in Java. Its a HORRIBLE language for writing games in. Minecraft's performance got much better once it was ported to an actual language, but that didn't happen until Microsoft put major...

What people don't seem to realize is that ongoing development requires ongoing funding. If you want regular updates, you have to PAY for regular updates one way or another. If you want to say the base price of the game is the only thing you should ever pay, then they are going to be forced to...

Yeah, just goes to show how completely poisoned the microtransaction well has become at this point.

Yeah, but I'd really like to see an update to our astronauts if we go that route. I don't particularly like the blocky pilots, especially if all the other life in the universe is going to be round.

The current build mode option of replacing a block with another block is great, and very handy. However, it doesn't quite make it easy to say change the color of a hull. If properly wedged, you're looking at four or 5 different types of blocks, which means 4-5 different passes on the replace...

Okay, so as it stands right now the game engine tries to render any part of a ship that could possibly be seen regardless of if anyone is there to see it or not. So if you made a big hollow sphere with nothing inside of it, the game would render the inside of that sphere even if no one was...

Well, humor aside, it would then have to be so big it wouldn't fit into a single sector, and hence would do terrible things to servers.

Don't know how I feel about such smooth, rounded design in a voxel game...

Correct, does not need to be touching. I keep a single speed controller per ship/station and just link it to everything, and it does fine. No linkage cables running around, nothing like that. Just 2 extra blocks per build and bye bye lag.

I usually build the hull first, then reactor line it to soft cap, interior skin it with capacitors, then install weapons. If the weapons draw too much power, I add more capacitors. If soft cap isn't going to be enough, I dock reactors. Shields, engines, and tertiary systems like jump drives...

Okay, my apologies, it needed a button in there too: Delay goes into the button which goes into the activator to give it what it needs to toggle. Now that I see it again, I believe I recall that the delay wasn't toggling the activator back off correctly by itself.

Well, I would think that being punished for using nothing but the heaviest armor in the game is EXACTLY what should be happening. Right now its in a good place for me. Hull is light and flimsy, standard armor is standard, and advanced armor is good but pricey in terms of things like...

But if you go to block count based again (as everything basically was before when all blocks had the same mass), then you are only punishing people who decorate their ships. Under the mass system, a decoration is very light. Under a block count, the flowers on a table penalize the ship every...

If they've got that bug in their ear, they're not going to just abandon it completely because people didn't like that one idea. They'll keep going until they find one that sticks or say "Screw it, we're doing it anyway". I'd rather see people providing options than just constantly shooting...

I just want to stop and point out here that they are already talking about microtransactions: http://starmadedock.net/threads/global-skins.20865/ Paying for extra skin slots. They already have "give me free money for not doing anything extra" on their minds, this thread was a "Hold on, lets at...

I can get you one tonight. But basically you turn the activator on, it starts the rotator going. The delay turns it back off, nothing happens to the rotator when it turns off. When it finishes it's quarter turn, it pulses out the "I'm done signal" to the activator, which then sends back the...

Flat 99 cents for a file would be fine by me. Actual details for things like that would be something best left to someone with a professional understanding of the market to figure out. "Why don't we just call it the Tostidodon?"

And one person buying a video on itunes can strip the DRM on it and upload it to a torrent site for everyone else to get for free. Doesn't mean itunes shut down. It would only need token protection. Just like when Starmade goes full production mode, it'll be on pirate sites within hours with...

Find a way to lock the blueprint to the person who bought it. Say by login username. I have one design on the CC right now, and I did that more for the badge than out of any burning desire to share my work with others. Right now I have no incentive to share anything but my least impressive...
