Vast (ish) asteroid fields can and should be done for gameplay AND aesthetic reasons, and Depth of Field would work alright on more powerful computers... Fog is the questionable one, depending on how you plan to implement it, but just a simple fog effect would probably be pretty cheap.

Personally, I just want the ability to fire core beams from a docked entity back... One of the last few updates broke it. >.> Wireless logic is great, but yeah, we need a solution that allows for 'universal' control, i.e. not keyed to specific ships... I shouldn't have to connect a new wireless...

I know this is off topic, but as for this particular example, why? Jump drive is, mechanically, really annoying and generally not fun. Why shouldn't continuous FTL be available to all ships?

Yeah, but the current model of scarcity makes everything have about the same rarity in any given part of the galaxy... Suppose that in one area shield capacitors and shield regen were easy to make - but cannons and beams were not. People would probably settle there, make tons of shield caps, and...

You build big ships in a shipyard, and then work towards them, trading and mining your way to your goal, Dire. The idea is that there would be a little of everything everywhere, though, yeah. Just only a lot of some things some places.

Now I need a MC/Starmade mod that lets me spawn in giant spheres so I can test out feasible continent sizes vs. ocean sphere sizes.

Bench, thoughts?

At the time, we're still getting resources together and the systems on the smaller ships aren't completely done currently. :P It's now a priority to get some of those complete and flying, though.

Just cut some space out of the square segments and shape them to look like natural island/continents. Potentially, given a large enough planet size one island could be twice the size of one of the old planets with minimal lag issues on decent computers, so things getting too small isn't really a...

Check the dev builds. He's working on some optimizations and smaller features (An optional mass/blockcount limit that servers can set, among other things) before releasing. I'd imagine that it won't be too long before the release, though - he's presumably not going to just start implementing...

Accepted, though to be completely honest I have absolutely no idea where in the Nine Realms to put you. You applied to be a pilot or miner, but your skills fit the description for an engineer... I'll put you down as pilot for now.

That is ideal. I thought you were suggesting only having the configurable amount of ranks instead.

That would be a good idea... I still want my division system to make the rank management easier, though.

We do have to accept strange things with making planets out of blocks... However the strange things resulting from this suggestion's planets (Limited plate/island size, basically, because it needs to be small enough not to look strange as a plane sitting on a sphere) would be far superior to...

Oh, I forgot to mention... Faction ranks should be enable/disable-able. If someone wants to be Dear Leader and have all other members be Comrade, and have no other ranks, that should absolutely be possible. :P

*Flies a giant door and slaps everyone's ships into the sun* Who's poor and little now, eh?

Using a scanner computer by hitting R should bring up that scanner's scan history along with a scan bar and a button that becomes clickable when the scanner charges up... Would just be a nice thing to do while derping around in your ship interior, or something you can do as an RP crew member...

I'd imagine that there could be the occasional block entity on the seafloor, too. Space kelp forests, anyone? Or... Spaceshipwrecks?

That is pretty amazing. Starmade: Haha, sorry, no friction You: I'll make my own damn friction!

...And by interaction you mean shooting? Because shooting planets from orbit is kind of OP anyway.
