Itmauve's idea is a great solution to this issue of limited IDs. We still have limited IDs, but we free up a lot.

But if you put more shields on the turret inside the main ship, you lose space in the main ship for its own shields, which will make it easier to kill. It's a trade off.

Oh, yeah, definitely. If it's confirmed, offer as many suggestions for how it could be as possible. I'm just telling you that you've got good chances.

I prefer the current/planned system. It'd be a massive pain to have to arrange thrusters into the exact direct we wanted them to go.

Shipyards are confirmed by the cat and code god @schema .

How do you think crumpled hull would work? Because I don't think it would. There's no way to have a deformation system in this game, like in Space Engineers, which is were I'm guessing you got this idea. If deformation was possible, it'd require a different block ID for all of the deformations...

It seems like a pointless addition. A similar game, Space Engineers, needs thrusters on the outside. However, building is much different in that game. 100m is a decently large ship, and thrusters work differently. I feel that thrusters depending on their direction doesn't fit in with Starmade...

On Automatic Slowdown- things that don't have engines still fly away forever. I would still like to see an option for making your ship slow down without a pilot (probably something you'll be able to do when/if we get coding, or even with improvements to the logic system) for those who chose to...

No. It'd bring back the days of rapid pew-pew AMC checkerboards. I'd prefer to see loses specifically on rapid weapons on larger arrays, so that larger ships use the slower firing cannons for combat with similar sized ships, with point defense turrets or a smaller reserve rapid cannon for...

Agreed. It's an essential logic tool, and it's obnoxious to have to make them out of numerous blocks, especially when space is limited for whatever reason. That's the same reason I supported the creation of the redstone repeater block way back in the old days of Minecraft. Sure, you could make...

This game isn't built around realism, it's built around fun. I'd prefer that space friction stay as the default. If you want, you can turn it off. Right now. It's a thing you can do in the config file. These thrust pods would accomplish the same thing that just adding more thrusters would do...

As far as I know, there is no way to detect the amount of shields/power/whatever on a ship, and certainly not cross ship. You can insert the numbers of shields or power into a display block, however, so good signs on that front.

I think somewhere between 1% and 5% would be best for jump drives. One out of every 10 blocks is pretty ridiculous.

Excellent idea, still. I don't know a lot about computer bits and bytes and whatnot but Itmauve seems to know what they're talking about. EDIT- is it just me or are @mentions broken?

I was a major supporter of this back on the old forums, even made some crappy doodles in paint. I'm glad to see this idea is still kicking around. I continue to like to see this in game.

I think the player camera is messed up due to the old player model, which had nightmarish proportions.

Adding paint to the game adds a byte to the memory taken up by a block. It would make the game much, much laggier. I'd like to see colored plexdoors, and plexdoor wedges/corners/tetras/pentas, but it would take up a huge amount of IDs. Maybe after they find a way to increase the item ID cap.

Well, in the future economy balance, large ships are going to be much more expensive to obtain. You'd probably want to preserve a lot of the ships resources, and shooting until it dies is not a good way to do that.

So, someone shows up with a jammer on and vaporizes all of your turrets? No thanks. I like the disabling of factories and such most.

After reading a lot of reasons against disintegrators ignoring shields, I've changed my mind. Disintegrators should not ignore shields. They really just need a damage buff, and have explosions scaling based on the number of disintegrators. I'm thinking something along the lines of each...
