Do some of the video reviews of the stations include internal exploration, so we have some idea of what's inside without using the import pack?

This sounds great. I highly recommend folks make suggestions for ships from the community content to serve as evenly-matched goal-ships. They should have similar sizes (or maybe they should be "stations" that look like ships?), but look very different, or at least have different color schemes...

I'd like to see blueprints for loadable templates. (E.g. Large 9x9x9 Engine pod, small 3x3x5 rapid gun, medium 5x5x7 cargo pod, standard 5x5x5 type E7 docking system, 5x5x9 type 99 hollow weapon barrel, etc.)

I fully agree. Any change similar to this would make the universe feel more alive. It doesn't have to be super-accurate for me to appreciate it. Example: If I have been gone for a time during which the sector should have received 10 updates, I'll still be happy if it only has enough change to...

If stuff starts growing organically on planets, that will give incentive to settle and claim planets.

Yeah, stuff really needs to grow on planets, to make them a renewable resource, so that a planet's ultimate fate can be something other than just salvage (not just wood and flowers, but also crystals, and to a much lesser extent, valuable ores to simulate rich, cooling magma deposits). Stuff...

Alright, I can accept that. I suspect that any ship that will only suffer 64 damaged blocks in a battle will be small, and any larger ship will have the opportunity to have hundreds of blocks damaged (among the countless thousands totally destroyed). Crit damage that finishes off most damaged...

I like the idea of a weapon-hardening effect system. A weapon-hardening effect could be useful for other things besides orbital bombardment. For instance, it could greatly increase the HP of missiles vs. point defenses. And maybe increase energy efficiency of salvage arrays and thrust as a...

I think more explanation is needed. Having weapons remember recently damaged blocks sounds like a MUCH bigger memory sink than per-block HP. Are you saying that weapon systems remember damaged blocks right now? What happens when a second weapon system, maybe on a different ship, hits a damaged...

I voted nay, because I think it would be good for the atmosphere to diminish, but not totally disrupt salvage arrays. Maybe have a 10% (server configurable) default effectiveness vs. salvaging asteroids. Maybe to help encourage settlement and quarries like you were saying, have planet-based...

There was a player (can't remember his name off-hand) who was making a complex document on how to describe different vessels, but since Starmade ships are so customized and customizable, and efficiency skill is so variable among players, any ship size classification system is almost meaningless...

Make a good game, and they will come. /fieldofdreams

+1 to shatter effect. I think that's a great idea for an effect. very similar to another idea someone had for a bouncing weapon effect. This one seems better and more "realistic" or at least more useful. To keep from being too similar to other effects, maybe it should only split/shard if the...

Thanks, guys. It's a relief that it might be a valid bug and that I'm not just doing something stupid to cause it. @DrTarDIS : Got a screenshot to illustrate? I'd like to see how you made it work for you. @Thadius Faran : Got a screenshot of how bad it used to be? It might make me feel better...

Is anyone else having this same issue? Is there a specific resolution? Based on screenshots, this does not appear to be common to all systems. I searched for other threads and other bugs on this issue, and didn't find anything that addressed this particular problem. I opened Bug 1087 for...

I would like to see heat simulated in the game. Maybe not in the default game. Maybe, if the API hooks run deep enough, someone could mod in heat build-up and radiation. Then the OP and other heat-related suggestions could be implemented on anybody's server who wants more realism.

1. Some blocks, such as light sticks, do not lend themselves to wedges. Slightly off-topic: If utility blocks experience a wedgening, those new wedges will need different output. Probably less than half of the related cube's output. Back on-topic: Many shapes already have a wedge. If we get a...

The massive dimension vs. vital block ratio will ensure that this cannot possibly have enough turning capability. (It would get a LOT better if mass-based turning ratios are implemented!) It makes me wonder if it might be better as a non-mobile space station. Every single vital block is going...

I voted yes, but with a humongous caveat: super-limited, single-sector creative mode only, with a limited number of no-animation blocks. It would be nice to see how an idea for a 3D layout works and looks in 3D with the real game's own lighting style. All other gameplay elements, including...
