Ithirahad voted for the questions in-between answers :eek: Same for any odd size. But you have to account for containers using that size. Would you like this? 3x3y5z _ Personal _ fits through larger crew-tunnels and allows 1 block thick "painting" 15³ _ Small odd cube _ holds 75*Personal...

no more opinions?

I have a mixed opinion on this. Maybe it should be a config value. There is really no point in rotating a block that looks the same all over, except to increase save-file sizes because of a lower compression level. But once you modify blocks, ... you should be able to revert it.

I think 2 armour types are sufficient, if you can replicate the intermediate by using 7 basic + 1 advanced in a 2x2x2 field. armour types, not visual styles. Force-field-blocks should not have any mass, except when active (if you like). Neither they should be possible to kill completely...

Thanks for the reply. Want to vote? http://starmadedock.net/threads/vote-for-your-prefered-cargo-container-size.22324/ EDIT: Check it out again, might be worth it for you too.

My opinion HomeFix (click, click)

SM needs detached sectors. Detached sectors can replace any unoccupied sector. The owner can undo changes that are made by factions at war with the owning faction. BUT that will reset it's attachment to a particular location. To restore the attachment, you have to cargo-transport the sector's...

I am also against filler blocks - they are ugly to replace and make design adjustments equally difficult. If you could only ever have 20% weight in system blocks, it wouldn't matter as much.

One time, you may want to control the exact number of products (with logic and step-control) and the other time you want to limit the production-cycle-size by weight. I suggest that factory enhancers also add storage. They could act like storage+enhancers at once, so you only need more storage...

Suggested again and again. I even thought about the possibility to put logic into the door itself to save space (using wireless logic, but it can be clicked by faction-members)

I am against shapes. They penalize free ship shaping. I would however like it if groups create an asymptotic bonus. A curve that goes through these 3 points: 1x shield = max - (max - min) 8x shield = max - (max - min)/2 27x shield = max - (max - min)/3 If more shapes for essential systems get...

I think there should be many gas giants, but maybe only a few with a huge mining bonus. Stations should be blocked system-wide, not sector-wide if these gas-giants are only 1-2 per galaxy. Gas-giant-mining, sun-mining, black-hole-mining. Everything that adds choke-points is a good thing for...

Do you know Luke-Skywalker's race vehicle? Just replace the wheels with hover-blocks. There should be no reason it's impossible just because of no wheels.

It would affect intruders tough. First, you need a personal gravity align item.

F11 is useful when shooting at water-block-targets to see the impact of a gun on a target (spread, penetration, ...). But yes, I think you should only be able to use it if you have an entity with a camera block there.

I think it's time for SM to decide what direction to go: Generalist : You can craft any shape or colour immediately from cargo contents. Specialist : You can't. Then multi-block entities might be removed at once and put into a blueprint-meta-item filled with blocks. So you can store turrets...

I would remember the faces that were used last frame and only add faces that are visible through gaps left over by these faces. It is easy to detect gaps (rotation left/right? : look for faces that have a closer neighbour right/left - same for up down)

Maybe we humans prefer words which have some pattern with AEIOU letters. 3x O/U is too much in a row. 3x A/E also need to be intercepted with i/o/u in most cases. It also should have 3-4 of these letters - with more, abbreviations start. This makes a name distinguishable. Except some funny...
