      Make item counts in inventory easier to read

      I approve. I did notice this in the Active Development Thread though: [ in development ][ User Experience ] GUI REVISION Revision of current game GUI for improved support for future added features and functionality. Simplification and similarity to the main menu. I think this would be nice to...

      Read by Council Make use of laser colors etc

      Well I agree with those above about it limiting our builds. But there is one other point that can be made which I think is far more important. The idea of compressing the tech has one big inherent flaw. Lets say it takes 2 beam modals to make 1 adv beam modal. Now if the advanced beam has a...

      A few quick observations on the new auxiliary generators...

      Um... these two sentences confuse me a bit. When was it stated that fuel will be a thing for any reactors? I know that the idea has been tossed around and discussed (I actually like the idea of possible fuel sources, infrastructure, and usage) but Ive not seen where fuel is involved in these...

      Read by Council diagonal duotone blocks

      I don't have the quote. But they said they could if need be, but that it would add extra overhead to every block. They basically would have to add an extra few bits (or maybe a byte I don't remember). And if I understand properly it causes file sizes of saves, worlds and everything else to...

      Read by Council Prevent Turrets from being Built Incorrectly

      it will not shoot if your not an enemy. It also requires a faction block in order to determine what is an enemy. it has to be a pirate or another player you are at war with.

      Is Starmade going to be a Survival or RTS style of game?

      I chose RTS for a few reasons. 1. Sandbox Survival really means (to me at least) gathering/crafting thing, and possibly making sure you don't die. Weather death is from bullets or hunger. AND We basically have that now. To me it describes the foundation for other mechanics and less its own...

      Nooblord seeks Senpai

      This thread is so much win... You could try applying for one of the newbie friendly factions. I'm sure there is one or two floating around on the forums. The other option is joining a server and just start playing and interacting with people. Odds are someone will need/want to recruit...

      StarMade v0.199.169 - Faster Chunk Loading, Lag Correction, Physics Optimization, Cannon/Beam Hit Op

      All hail the optimizations ! Now my mining ships that was built to mine when other players were online without lag can be built at least 2x as big! Time to swallow asteroids in one volley instead of 3 !

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      size only matters when your talking about 2 ships that both have the same ratio of interior space. If the ratio's are not the same mass is a better guide. As a ship that is 10 blocks longer may well have that volume dedicated to extra rooms. OR it could be filled with combat blocks. If the...

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      Although that is true, my argument of mass being a better indicator then size still stands. I didn't say it gave you 100% of the info of the other ship, but that it was better, and gave a more accurate description of a ships potential. You should always assume that the other ship has been...

      Indeed. That is very similar to what I was thinking.

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      Again if you don't know what your fighting before you get to the fight, you have already lost part of the information battle. That is on the player for not doing their homework on the enemy. As for mass being "Invisible" have you ever considered opening up the Nav before your fully engaged in...

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      also, why are you pitting ships of similar volume together? You should never do that. Look at mass instead. Mass can be the same between a "Hardcore Min/Max" ship and a "Soft Min/Max" ship. the soft min/max ship will likely be larger then the hard min/max ship. This is because the soft...

      Explosion Mechanics

      about 1/2 the damage is lost on impact because it applies damage equally in all directions. So if its a flat surface, you will only get about 1/2 the total damage applied to blocks. Not sure if this changes when they hit shields or not though.

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      As far as I am aware, as long as the core of a ship passes into a gate the gate will work. SO if the area of your ship the core is in can fit through the gate, and the gate has the power capacity, then even if you have a 1KM wide ship (at its widest point) you can get through. Gates don't...

      A video guide to Evil Interior Decorating.

      It all depends on your brand of evil I think. Using black/grey/purple can look evil if used right. I saw a good example of that on the CC once. Don't remember it now though as it was quite a while back.

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      OK gonna tackle the first part first. I get what your trying to say. I wouldn't mind maybe a tag's as far as for what you search on the CC. Not so sure about the tag following the ship and making it so servers can disallow blueprints with certian tags from being uploaded. For one, I could...

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      So I think I may have a good response to this thread. But before I do, I want to be sure I understand your arguments first. You think min-maxing should be removed from the CC and the CC only. You are not worried about veteran players that can min-max min-maxing as long as they are not sharing...

      Bug my own faction isn't my faction? (single player)

      Another Viable option which I have used when I ran into this issue, is to set your faction as public. Then you can just open the faction menu and join it. When your the only member you are automatically put as the founder. Seeing that its a single player world, you don't have to worry about a...

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      I know this is not really the point of what you said. But its bugging me so Ima say it anyway. At least in the USA as long as you build your vehicle in a way that complies with the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) you can in fact get a lic. plate and drive it freely. But you do have to have...
