      So all ships will absolutely have to have a docking receiver in order to dock? No more docking cores, or if your receiver gets shoot off you can no longer dock your ship until it is manually repaired? I love the idea of being able to customize how a ship docks I really don't want to have an...

      Missile lock-on vs ships covereed in turrets.

      I have never seen missiles attempt to lock onto hidden entities before, be them hard docked or turrets.

      Implemented New Logic Block "Randomizer"

      I know there is no true random in computers but a programmed pseudorandom output would be much better than anything we can do in game. Redstoner engineers create random variables in Minecraft by exploiting the random nature of dispensers, we don't have anything to bend to our will like that...

      Implemented New Logic Block "Randomizer"

      So there is no way to do any kind of true random output in Starmade logic. The best we can do as far as I know is simulate a random output based on the timing of clocks but this only works with a manual input as any timed circuit will always have the timing match at some point. The Randomizer...

      Scatter missiles...

      I personally think we need a hard counter to heat seekers before anything else gets done with them. Anti missiles turrets have a hard time dealing with swarms so I think a second counter should be in play. They are heat seeking missiles so how about some kind of flare defense.

      Share Defensive Effects with Turrets

      Back when you still had to add modules for the mass of your turrets and docked ships when using Ion I pushed for them to get the benefit of Ion defense as well. Schema shot the idea down and fixed it so their mass was not in the calculations. I would like to see the capability for AI to use...

      Cryonic Statsis Tube

      So when you asked "What do you all think?" you only wanted responses from people who agree with you? I like the idea but I think it should have a penalty. Being able to essentially keep another player in your pocket is down right weird. The other suggestion doesn't have an in-game system to...

      I took a break from refits, tutorials, and survival to do a creative build on stream, codename Turkey: Originally the ship was called turkey because she looked like she would be a fat and ugly bird in the early planning stages. I really need to pick a new name as this ship is kind of badass...

      Cryonic Statsis Tube

      Honestly this seems like a great way to integrate a new feature with in game systems. I do think it shouldn't be able to be picked up though. If your tube is destroyed or removed then you spawn at your alternative spawn. Additionally you could still face the death punishment if your stasis...

      Replace Damage-Pulse with...

      The thing about adding a new weapon is it has to do something distinctly different enough. It can't just be a missile, beam, or cannon with different base stats. They also have to be fairly neutral when it comes to anything that otherwise would be adding lore to the game.

      Modular reactors still viable?

      Yeah my external power reactor I used to charge the jump drive on my small scout works again. I am quite pleased I didn't delete it.

      Make Bobby AI's Send a Logic "On" Signal When Pursuing a Target

      United Colonial Systems Shipwright

      Building a new shuttle has showed me how bad my old shuttles looked so I went back to update them. I've learned quite a few tricks on how to make ships look a lot more interesting while really changing nothing about the ship itself. Just removing flat tops and bottoms by creating negative...

      I never use black crystal armor because it is so bright. Today I had a bug which turned my blue crystal armor black. it looks awesome, why isn't this what black crystal armor looks like?

      This is my ship for another build challenge. The challenge is to create a small shuttle capable of maintaining a jump drive. Getting past the power threshold for Jump engines on smaller craft isn't always easy. Remember, make it look nice because bricks are boring. Guidelines Of Build...

      A discussion on the usefulness of fighters

      The only way to achieve this would be to remove combat regen entirely. As long as the big ship can regenerate shields a fighter or any significantly smaller craft can never win against the larger opponent.

      That would be my Shortsword, essentially the smaller sister to the Longsword. She features a nearly identical array of turrets but since she is a smaller craft her primary armament and defenses are lower. Also that must be me in the blue shuttle back there.
