The new Aethi corvette, the Arveth(Paladin)-class, is currently in field testing on the test server. It will (hopefully) become available to Aethi pilots within the next two weeks. (And yes, this is a front view. That dish is a weapons array, not a main thruster.)

At this point, nothing more; the team is going forward and there's no reasonably changing that; I won't be so irrational and selfish(?) as to try. But I'd be sad to see something like this come up again.

Right, and when a working feature is implemented to replace this unintended (but useful) one, the unintended feature should be removed to get rid of the potential exploits* involving it, or in the meantime just *fix* the issue by disabling respawning when an asteroid has blocks placed on it or...

I don't think that the game in its current state (With non-renewable asteroids and all planets getting ripped to pieces) is the game you're trying to make either, judging from most of the plans I've heard of. Not a very good argument.

No nerfing of power; if there are three things in this game you should NEVER nerf beyond their current state it's thrusters, power, and missiles. There is no problem if one-shot ships technically exist as long as they are not commonplace.

My problem is that a speed boost doesn't really fit with everything else. For all the other weapons, the x/Jump Drive combo provides a boost comparable to at least some attributes of the Missile, Beam, and Pulse secondaries combined, in return for the added time and power to charge the weapon...

For multi-entity scenarios, this might require cross-entity templates. And IDK how feasible that is. (But it would be amazing.)

I think the problem is that the range of speeds allowed for by Starmade's engine isn't sufficient for the existing advantages fighters have to show through. (Also, engines are a little too weak across the board.)

Yeah... At this stage in the game I'd rather let people have infinite resources than this. This just kills the game. It wasn't worthless on servers that boosted the resource multiplier.

Cool, but not what secondary systems are for; they aren't supposed to do different things with different primary systems, but rather affect their projectiles in a semi-consistent manner. Given how Schine's done things so far, what you describe here would actually be different effects. Corrosive...

This includes too many thruster types, and variable max speed is just a bad idea. We really only need two types of thrusters; the ones we have now and more powerful, grouping ones that only add thrust in the direction they're oriented. Also, having a warp drive based on just going faster than...

Yeah, I'm kinda neutral to the jump inhibitor-as-an-effect thing, but I could see uses if it was implemented. I'm just not entirely convinced that it would be a good idea. As Lecic said, jump inhibitors being non-targeted is a great way to balance them out so they can't create unfair battles...

Winston Churchill?

No. I see no reason why we should; if anything those would go in the tertiary slot as an effect system that saps jump charge from ships its weapon hits (More efficiently than the Jump Inhibitors alone). Great for turrets, but also not a very necessary addition.

This actually sounds good. Like, a space bugturtle. I really want to see this now.

YESSS! I have needed this for so long! Just don't forget lava or ice crystal.

Holograms to make fake ships and whatnot sounds cool for a mod or maybe later on, but not a very critical feature.

The issue is both. When the entirety of a giant entity is loaded (in RAM) and rendered (in GPU) in full detail it causes issues, and worse, the existence of these giant entities causes database bloat (In HDD/SSD). It would be a lot more efficient to have a 'primitive' low-detail heightmap, or...

It's a lot simpler to just not count parts of a ship built detached as a part to break off. Only parts of the ship detached from other parts of a ship by weapons fire should be broken off... If there's a 'dispute' between parts (e.g. because they are both floating already) just take off the...

Yeah, but it's a weird fix. Why not just calculate (and save) the center of the shape and try to warp them there?
