Elwyn's been reset, and the playing field is at last evened out... Potential miners, traders, diplomats, pilots... the Imperium needs you now more than ever.

The fate of my base on EE. (The smaller ball with the sword is my new recruit.)

Yes, but if it takes a specialized ship to use them, people just won't bother.

That looks amazing. However, what are you doing with the ice crystal texture...?

That's the idea. Exploration ships that wanted to travel through wormholes would have to not also be completely combat-optimized. Then all we need is some incentive to actually use wormholes - perhaps some kind of sector that can only be accessed using the wormholes; something like EvE's...

Yeah, hence the whole "I'm hoping that it's just that the devs didn't see this" part to my post. That sounds kind of cool, but it would mean that for there to be regions of the galaxy with different distributions of resources (Rather than singly systems) areas of the galaxy would have to all...

Agreed. I'm... hoping that it's just that no dev has seen this. If it's seriously not planned (or at least something similar) then not to be whiny here but I'm gonna flip a sh... uh, table.

Stopped reading at "Communist Empire." Why do we need this? The United Federation of Planets is close enough already... Also, do the Cardassians have any ships yet? I have been wanting to see a well-made Galor-class in this game since I got here.

I tried. Either way, though, hopefully Elwyn's gonna get a reset so it shouldn't matter.

Nuuuuuu... I'm using it to make a door that blends in decently with glass. :(

That's the general idea. There might be an occasional exception (A system where there's Nocx and Parseen everywhere but no Zercaner or Macet to be found anywhere) but normally there should be a bit of everything somewhere. It just might take a considerable amount more hunting around than normal...

One, realistic is never an excuse for terribad game mechanics... and two, this is Starmade, far more advanced than KSP by miles. And even in KSP, you can mount RCS all over the place if you want.

As much as that's hilarious, I'm kinda sorta close to just reporting that and getting it outta here. I put my images in spoiler tags for a reason. EDIT: Thanks.

Just one little, tiny, massive problem with this. Nobody wants to see ships flying around that are just giant boxes or wide, clumsy rectangular-prismatic rods. Even if the ideal design(s) looked awesome, which is nigh-impossible since this is a game of blocks and the best shape will probably...

Let's not forget this: http://starmadedock.net/threads/uneven-resource-distribution-and-density-getting-the-wheels-turning.6425/ If this suggestion I just linked was added, then it would become important to have resource extractors in many systems spread out, creating more of an incentive to...

Don't go by length/dimensions, otherwise cloakers will all be tiny doomcubes.

Yeah; cloaking should probably get a cooldown. It's annoying that you decloak people with scanners and suddenly boom, they can just cloak again.

No and no, unfortunately. After the attack on Viarai City, our resources have been severely depleted... Furthermore, I never made much white or blue armor anyway; my ships barely use any.

How about splitting the calculations for cloak power away from mass entirely? It could simply have different types of block weighted differently - all systems besides power regen and power storage could cost a lot of power to cloak, power systems would cost a moderate amount, and hull would cost...

Well, most Sci-Fi ships happen to be long and somewhat thin in width... And many have empty interior space. It sucks that a large, solid brick with the same box dimensions turns at the same speed as a ship with not nearly the same density.
