Eh, the terrain engine can do about the same thing... There can be base variables (Terrain noise, height scale, cave density, cutout (Amount of points at which the engine cuts out caves/cliffs from hills and surface features), etc.) that are randomized, then a random special feature (Tentacles...

I think they've decided not to hotfix and just have it fixed for the next update. IDK why.

Yeah, that font oddity always did bug me a bit... The default used here is nice-looking (Better than Book Antiqua, which I'm using here) but it's one of those strange fonts where the numbers are all at different levels and sizes and it's annoying to read. o_0

The idea of asteroids constantly generating might be... a little laggy? If there're no technical issues, though, I wouldn't mind this.

Yeah, since they reduced the cone of fire to 1 degree; you now need to use actual turrets for everything. Kind of stupid, IMO. The change should probably only apply to turrets, not fixed-docked entities. EDIT: That said. IDK if that's the issue involved or not...

Cannon-missiles aren't useless... I do agree that they could be a bit faster, though.

Yes please... This should also apply to entering computers. If you sit while in a computer or core the player should still be visible and possibly shootable by hand weapons, just not targetable on nav.

Why not use the Ellipsoid Generator algorithm to create an ellipsoid based on a ship's bounding box, and use the resulting positions like "blocks" to make a cheap collision area for shields? The visual effect could be an actual sphere (If we have pulse VFX as spheres, then there's no way in hell...

No, but Starmade would become that if people could earn FPs from other people coming in and exploring their base. People would essentially start building amusement parks and other attractions (Zoos with the strangest fauna they could scoop up?) inside their stations, and trying to come up with...

It was Kep, I'm just the guy that keeps reminding everyone it needs to be made. :P

A system that forces people to walk through your station so your faction stays alive? XD Sounds incredibly silly. I like the general idea, but in practice it would end up kind of ridiculous unless there were some things implemented that gave people an actual reason to visit said stations, and...

You might want to reimplement grouping bonuses, then, at least for thrusters and power storage... Otherwise people will just start making messy mixes of systems so that nobody can disable their systems easily.

Yeah, one of my installs works fine now with the update, the other doesn't at all. IDK what happened; reinstall probably won't fix it. I'll do a bit of poking around, but... :\

But a Swastika IS a swirly thing...

Other types of crystal should probably spawn naturally as stalagmite-like spikes in caves...

I do too, actually, on the rare occasions that I actually make a Factionball comic, but I don't necessarily look down upon those who don't.

Where did you get this number? Furthermore, why are you assuming that everyone will start building at the same exact time, and not allowing for unforeseen occurrences? Etc. Also remember what an average is - it's just an average, not the actual amount of time everyone takes. Even if that figure...

Spiritual sounds interesting... I think we've all seen all sorts of industrial, recreational, and sometimes just plain strange stations from the first contests, but magic space stations? Haven't seen many of those. (My Aethi Starbase-M was/is sort of like that, but I need to fix the orb...

No, "converging weapons" (The system where weapons will fire in the direction of a block you're aiming at rather than just out parallel to the crosshair) of never did, never do, and never will make small ships useless, it just allows for more creative designs regarding weapon placement. What...

Yeah, I think this is how most people were thinking FTL would be in the first place. The current system is just silly in so many ways.
