      Who do we want as Counselors?

      If you own a million, what is 15€? And 15€ is a month living in some countries. Money is too uneven distributed for it to be used as a "dedication-statement". I would only vote for peoples >24 and >18 in some cases, if I would knew. With 18 you go out of home or are fully responsible by law...

      Fun fact: Funny-ratings are positive-ratings :D - he got 7 of it for telling something about him getting bananaed (I know… too many As). You punish the rule-breakers. But you can't put your own whole country into prison. Thus you punish the worst. (Hint: Prison→Ban, no community would be left)...

      Read by Schine Sector 'Walls' and Scanning

      A range of 1 sector more would be smoother, but 1x1x1=1. 3x3x3=27. 5x5x5=125 already. A performance loss of 400% if done wrong. The issue right now is that it's "beyond double and half" extremes. A sector triagonal is sqrt(1*1 + 1*1 + 1*1) = sqrt(3) = about 1,73 If you are at the very corner...

      By the time we are discussing this … … if you sum up all reading and posting time of all peoples … … we could have made a "I voted"-badge icon and write CSS to show it locally on your own PC only.

      Texture Packs are needed

      Except if you make a Tron-theme. I did 40 textures in 2 hours (the easy ones ;) ). I want better tools before I ever start work on it again. GIMP is not good for tile-editing aligning the pencil to a 2x2x2 offset or drawing 2x2x2 is impossible - pencil sizes by default are odd sized and...

      Read by Schine Adding tactical options in battles

      Watching titans fight from 3rd person is great. They are such a big target that you don't need to even try evading stuff. ––EDIT: text below got obsolete, look at my next posts–– But I don't see why you want that absolute shield other than to be either invincible or poorer than without. Maybe...

      Portal Guns in Starmade?

      I don't know what it adds above Warp-Gates and Jump-Drives or Teleporters for players. Let's get a working hyper-drive first ^^.

      Who do we want as Counselors?

      It is the same as: When you drive a street with 4 red amps and 6 green, you might remember 2 or 3 green amps and 4 red, believing the amps are mostly red. Background changes don't help if nobody sees the amount of work done.

      Who do we want as Counselors?

      keptick Ideally the council would always know one councillor which: knows everything about the topic (any topic). knows enough of all topics to know everything related to a question (any question). Matt_Bradock "Building should be one aspect of the game, not its entirety. A game that lost...

      Separate Acceleration and max speed for thrusters

      There is already a negative response from staff/council. They said they don't want too many sliders. I think it should be an option. The advantage of small? I think it should be that they "move along" or inherit a part of the big ships propulsion. LORE-wise: A Death-Star could have 1/6...

      Read by Schine Planet based gravity, not based on blocks.

      This is a feature, not a bug. Build a space-station and use a transporter to get there to get your suggested behaviour ;)

      Who is Donald Trump? I am just happy all the Adolf-Hitlers and Putin accounts and the like didn't apply. If there would be an AI like chat-bot, Elisa …, I would vote for it! He has no own opinion and is neutral. But it would be an additional member when you limit the council to a number of...

      Turn Cannon/Cannon Weapons into six-shooters - Fixing the Machine gun issue

      You can not have 2 effects currently. (Ion + Burst) I think there are too many options for just 2 modifiers (slave + effect).

      Who do we want as Counselors?

      In my opinion, exponential-grind+economy breaks balance between players and factions even more. If you want war, you need roughly equal sides. You also need at least a third side to balance things out once one gets the upper hand (be it player or PC-missions that give reward to the lower ones)...

      Change to game systems scale.

      Yes. Look at what RP ships require and make it "free" as in "not being a downside". If RP ship requires 20% space, require 20% hollow space on PvP (space between topmost and bottommost block of a XY-coordinate for example). Whether it's filled or not doesn't matter. If you have less hollow...

      Turn Cannon/Cannon Weapons into six-shooters - Fixing the Machine gun issue

      If missiles would have burst-fire it would be not different from 40 heat-seekers spawning at once or 40 weapon computers synchronized by logic. The best description I've seen! However, you have to differentiate 3 cases: ((format: "action, definition of time-span => effect")) "loan" short...

      Turn Cannon/Cannon Weapons into six-shooters - Fixing the Machine gun issue

      I disagree with parts. You say, if you set reload to 1 second instead of 60, you need power quicker, not more. That would only encourage a 1/60 sized missile system on perma-fire to do more damage with less blocks. A year or two ago, we had such a system which let you manually enter range...

      Who do we want as Counselors?

      They need to be able to give advices - for many topics. I could. They should also be available when needed. But that is not my strength - maintaining social life continuously. I see exploits. I know balance. But the game heads not into the direction I want in a few crucial points. If there...

      Would you be okay with a game engine change for Starmade?

      No need to worry. Most of the time, about 10% of your blocks are damaged at a time before some get destroyed and others are damaged. But 100% of blocks reserve space for HP-bits → 90% waste. You can reduce that from 8/24 to 4/24 and it still looks great (8 damage-states). Exact hp can be as...

      Fix or Remove Docked Thrust

      You didn't understood what I said at all. You only put a bad impression on my text by talking about non-issues. ––1–– Critical mass? I talked the minimum dimensions of the system, try putting the "Large-Hadron-Collider" into a fighter. Imagine the most efficient engine would be that size...
