I would like to see this. Ion is used much more than EMP. Improved shield damage isn't exactly a widely unused module.

The update has been out for not even 2 weeks. Calm down. They're going to balance it in some way, probably with missile health based on damage.

@schema would need to rewrite the entire block code to allow for curved block grids, as far as I understand it. Please read the link I sent and understand why we can't have spherical planets. Your posts are hurting me and I'm only an amatuer coder; I'd hate to see what it does to someone who...

I think the shotguns need to be slightly more focused. Wasn't the shotgun beam originally going to be a "pencil shotgun" design, with little spread until further distances?

That's not how the game works. You've either got an unbent grid, a spherical coordinates system (which doesn't work here, as shown in my earlier posted link), or millions of individual entities. We've currently got a bunch of unbent grids stuck together in a roughly spherical (dodecahedron, in...

The lag from the probably hundreds of thousands or even millions of different entities would be insane. No thanks. Don't believe me? Save a ship to the catalogue that's just a core. Spawn just 3000 (a miniscule amount compared to how many you'd get on a full sized planet) and see how that runs.

I prefer how the planets currently look, personally. I think they could do with a bit more smoothing around the edges (maybe allow a little bit of overlap?), but I like the dodecahedron look. Also, plonking that link in there early is important, because every thread on planets eventually turns...

Randomly generated alien creatures to populate planets is planned. Genetic manipulation is also a future possibility. I'm hoping the planned random factions system could incorporate this, allowing for randomly generated INTELLIGENT alien races.

http://oldsite.star-made.org/content/starmade-dev-update-why-spherical-planets-dont-fit-block-world I swear I'm posting this link at least twice a week at this point. This post explains why spherical planets can't work in Starmade.

I think it should destroy a random 1% of ship blocks per second, but first it does the hull, to make it seem as though the hull is being stripped off the ship by the heat. The longer you are in the sun, the more damage you would take, as 1% would be more and more of the ship. Shields should...

Old is superior. Especially since most things I disagree with are old points brought back up again.

No. I don't really see the point of it.

Personally. I think that the planned HP system is fine. It's going to be near impossible for equally sized ships to actually slug eachother's HP to 0, so they'll be doing more things like destroying weapons and thrusters and command centers.

This, and the ability to remotely pilot ships, would be fantastic additions to the game.

There's a massive amount of stations, and they need to check each one to make sure they don't break any rules.

Instead of adding onto this dead thread, make a new thread for these ideas.

I would like to see hard-point docks, which could act like Space Engineers merge blocks, if you know what those are.

What kind of video are you making? Also, my computer sucks and I can't do much in game acting, but I'd love to try my hand, or, vocal cords, at voice acting.

If the home docking module was destroyed it would probably panic and just float around. There are people working on updating the wiki. I believe they have a thread somewhere in general discussion.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but can't you lock players into a single sector? I believe that option was added in the most recent update.
