...Drone racks are a "state of the art" workaround to a gaping hole in Starmade's feature-set and are really irrelevant to this discussion. When the economy becomes balanced, they will also become a massive drain on resources, causing people to not bother with carriers anyway unless some form of...

Oh, waitasec... Forgot about that. In that case, we have literally no need whatsoever for linear damping. Still, though, stop effect and overdrive helps.

Simple fix for that: Meshed chairs could have to link to a core (or computer(s)) to control a ship. Still somewhat neutral on this idea as I'm mostly going to wait and see what the Schine team has planned, but just being helpful.

Actually, friction is "not needed" because of the Stop tertiary and the Overdrive defensive effect. Otherwise when a sector loads a ship would continue to zip off, possibly with no chance of recovery. Regardless, though, perhaps there should still be global space friction when traveling at...

While I find shotgun beams and shotgun cannons to currently be the only "useless" combinations (Though shotgun cannons are good at neutralizing missile swarms... I think?) I do agree that base fire rates need to be buffed a bit across the board, and the cannon secondary's effectiveness needs to...

That's only due to derpy missile physics - the explosions penetrate blocks and shields, hitting docked entities and whatever else is inside, rather than being absorbed by the shields or armor. Schema has a plan in place for this; for now IDK what to do though. :P

Aw, no asteroids? :( ...That aside, I'm happy with the winning stations. Zimmerman's evil red-and-black station of doom, Tenk and the Shroomies' Nexus, Van's pirate operations hub, Lancake's evil military station, and Fwiffo's cool command center are all excellent stations, and I can't wait to...

You can't access docked storages, sorry. That WOULD be great, though.

Interesting, but could be exploited. What if I created a huge hull stick or cube wth minimal systems? That thing would spin like a top, and it would probably cause server lag. I think the best solution for hull proposed so far is that systems blocks (Besides possibly thrusters; those look cool!)...

I agree, but I'm not gonna post a smiley face because that's silly. :P

Well, Valiant's system is okay, but then there needs to be some kind of "Master Computer" that lets you use core functions (Structure menu and helm control, to be specific) from places other than the core. Due to this, I agree with Crimson.

Um, how does Dalmont's look remotely like a trade station? The outside looks like a really amazing generic space outpost, and the inside looks like an awesome abandoned alien military environmental training facility.

In the end, there's no ending doomcubes. About the best we can do is force them to be covered in hull, crystal, or doors so that they don't look quite as lame.

Bugs can be fixed. I'd rather have the occasional computer spontaneously blowing up than the current, annoying system anyway.

Already suggested, but an excellent idea. I really want a dev (specifically @Calbiri or @schema ) opinion/response on this, though... Personally, I really want to see it ingame, but IDK. Also, thrusters should be shielded too, BTW. They seem to be the only systems block designed specifically to...

You're welcome, Maranello... IMO your station should be first. It represents everything I'd like to see in a trading guild station. Large, impressive, simply but effectively designed, and with a really nice interior. It also looks commercial, and, more importantly, has a hangar bay that looks...

...Yes... Thing is, we can't do that on servers,and IDK how many servers will change their defaults. Furthermore, new players won't know how to change the default stations. People underestimate the value and importance of a good default configuration. And by "good" I don't just mean what looks...

Aw... Dalmont's station got through? Not that I dislike it, it's an amazing station, but not for the Trading Guild... If anything it should be abandoned or part of a completely different faction...

This is actually a really, really good idea; I was kind of thinking of having a mechanic like this, at least for things that aren't missiles. However, I suspect that @Calbiri (or Schema) already has a solution for this whole problem thought up...

Environmental damage to player structures feels... ehhh in this game, seeing as this is primarily a space game and I'd rather not have to worry about my ground (or space)-based structures wearing out and breaking... but the rest of your suggestion sounds great, Neon.
