You guys know we're getting a ship HP system to replace coring, right?

Starmade, a less realistic game, would benefit more from sounds as though we were in air. Contrasting this, a realistic game such as Space Engineers would make sense to have sound only work through vibrating metal or pressurized areas.

There's copywrite issues with that, though. Also, it'd be much cooler if the aliens were randomly generated.

The new weapons all use the same basic projectile and beam, just different effects, so there's no reason they wouldn't work with this.

What is the point of a beacon? How does a beacon magically allow you to jump? A beacon is just a transmitter floating in space saying "Hello, I am here"

Yeah, but what if I want to launch small projectiles from a big cannon for whatever reason? Also, I suggested that the lower the damage is compared to the size, it sucks much more power, to make a 200x1x200 cannon use more power than it would be worth as a blinding effect. Anyway, projectile...

I do like Blodge 's suggestion, but I would prefer warp gates over jump beacons. Gates would probably look cooler, just a personal opinion. They still make it so people need to explore before FTLing around everywhere, but would probably not have a limit on range like beacons. However, they would...

If a person wants limitless creativity, they should play on creative mode in single player or a build server with pvp disabled. They would only lose invulnerability if a) You died a lot b) You built it much higher than the number of people in your faction could reasonably support I think it...

Alternatively, it's a universe where gravity is stronger, allowing small bodies that would not hold their shapes in the normal universe to keep together, as well as making everything stay much closer together. I think we can disprove your massive giants theory with simple application of the...

Because the game is in early alpha and not open to this yet. Also, having a few hundred coders working on a project is a good way to ensure it crashes and burns like the Hindenburg.

I think the best solution would be to make dock extenders mass based instead of dimension based. Then, dimensions of the ship aren't as important, obstructions are no longer a problem, and it gives a slight nerf to cube ships, as they lose the advantage of being able to easily fit in docks...

It'd be nice if could control asteroid size in the server config file like we can with planets.

I don't think the Starmade developers plan only to have the occasional small ship in mind. I think the devs would like to expand upon the trading guild, pirates, and implement other (possibly randomly generated) NPC factions to control numerous sectors. Now, can we stop putting our own...

The turrets won't automatically fire on players, only if you've done something to make the trade guild/whatever npc faction that lives there angry for whatever reason. They're there to prevent people from just flying up with salvage cannons and scraping every station they come across for all the...

I would like to suggest some changes to the naturally generated stations. I think that stations should have a total of 8 defensive turrets docked on the black power drums, 1 on the top and one on the bottom. These turrets would belong to the trading guild. They would attack pirates, and be...

And why would this corrupt a server? It wouldn't be loading the sectors between the destination and the starting point, if that's the issue.

That sounds really overpowered. However, now that you've mentioned it, firing asteroids stuffed with disintegrators using either pushing tertiary effects or pulsators would be a good idea. Enemy turrets wouldn't take aim and try to destroy it...

There are three options here for setting an asteroid as a home base. Locking the asteroid into place once it becomes a faction home base. This basically makes it into a station, more or less. This version would keep collision damage. Keeping its ability for collision damage, as well as being...

Actually, I've found that a large array of smaller turrets with lots of points put into range and rof are great for keeping enemy shields at low regen rates that they get during combat when you can't keep your main guns on them.

From a gameplay perspective, spherical shields make turrets unable to be K/O'd before the main ship's shields. You can just keep fighters inside of plexdoor protected hangers- even if they're open they'll stop shots. Also, they were originally spherical, but they were much more resource intensive.
