I'd not be happy with this at all either... 500k blocks is a surprisingly small amount. If memory serves, I have a ship that's something like 350 meters (Not too huge by SM's current standards; to me it's a pretty big ship though) and I'm pretty sure it's way over that limit - and I haven't even...

I don't find instanced planets to be a perfect solution either, but come to think of it, if his best argument is immersion, that's just silly... According to him, a loading screen (Which may not even be necessary really, considering the way sector transitions and planet (entity) loading work...

Satellites wouldn't work even with the proper gravity radius. Remember, planets and their gravity fields aren't round, they're dodecahedrons, so any possible satellite will end up getting thrown in different directions a bit, until the thing ends up either being thrown out of orbit or crashing.

Doesn't work with Damage Pulse as far as I know; that's a different system and I'm assuming that currently there's not even a way programmed in for pulse bubbles to move.

Yeah, at least for me it's kind of screwed up again in the latest build. It doesn't really cover the entire sky any more...

Yeah, AI needs to pathfind around ship bounding boxes. :\

Indifferent and neutral, personally. Just pointing something out since everyone's going "but.... muh sandbox!"

This sounds pretty awesome... Inb4 someone uploads Fuck You as their faction territorial theme, though. And what about really shitty/shitty-quality music?

You guys do realize that oriented thrust has nothing to do with how your ships look, right? It would be as simple as using your remove filter to pull out some thrusters and put them back facing a different way. :\

Personally, I don't mind consumables, but fuel specifically I don't really like. If weapons require consumables to fire? Sure. If players need food to survive? Sure... But I dislike tying consumables to thrust, power, or any other essential part of a starship's basic operation besides possibly...

Your suggestion wasn't bad, but it just felt a little awkward to me... You'd end up with a fairly big mess of display blocks to do much of anything. With my system, if someone just wants something with two states - which would be fairly common, I'd imagine - all they need is one block hooked up...

...The most OP weapon combo has always been Krazzy throwing cookies at people.

You wouldn't even need the tracking function. Usually you can track a ship with the Tracking Bacon on it by the fact that whatever system it's in lags like hell because of all the people chasing after it trying to get the bacon.

I wish for the ability to control the ship from places other than the core. Especially with the HP system, now cores are basically just starting points/build blocks for the ship anyway...

Personally, I see no use in overcomplicating the system... Missiles need something to balance them out without nerfing their capabilities into oblivion, so make them take warheads, since, you know, missiles need warheads to blow up. Every other weapon type doesn't seem to be too OP, and we...

You forgot cumulative armor. The total amount of armor on the ship will contribute towards mitigating some of the damage on any armored block, meaning that finally, armor has an actual use - even interiors, which are usually made of armor blocks, will now contribute heavily to a ship's ability...

Wow, this method looks fine to me. In StarMade there are already worse planet transitions (Planets change color from certain angles, the dodecahedrons you see from outside the planet sector have nothing to do with planet terrain...) so something like that would be great.

Oh, by the way, Fiend, you're officially a member now. See you serverside.

The Aethi Imperium has now officially moved to the Shattered Skies server! I highly recommend it; it has a player cap of 50, no linear damping, and a higher factioned-sector mining multiplier, as well as a pretty awesome community. Accepted by all means, Tahnok! Though I do wonder how I managed...

No. Remember, regardless of expense this is an infinite sandbox game. I already anticipate tons of people hiding out in faraway galaxies amassing resources, then arriving in the spawn galaxy with cargo bays full of millions of stacks of bullets, then trolling the hell out of everyone and...
