He has 10 idiots who die every ten minutes, you have 5 skilled pilots kicking his ass and killing his Faction Points, and I have 20 semi-idiots in a really far away galaxy, not disclosing their position but just sitting out there noobing around and contributing nothing to the server or the game...

Yaas... @Omni , I feel the same. It's really great. I was just sitting in a prototype fighter while SpaceKing was testing its weapons... It was interesting. I also now can sit on my bridge: If only I could control my ship from that big seat/throne... Then I'd be in Starmade heaven.

Go into the dev build, place a wedge so that it looks kind of like a chair (Slope side up), point at the sloped face, and hit O. Then zoom out and see what happened. :D

...Ooor, you could build a dedicated scanning/scout ship, and/or be in a faction that has one... I see your point, but you can expect lots of things kind of like this; not every ship is supposed to be able to do everything. However, a shorter-range scanner won't take up tons of space or power in...

This is awesome news, but uh... Meh. Test server's down. :I Also, Schema, 2/3rds of the reason everyone wanted chairs was that we wanted to be able to control ships without getting sucked into the core. Mechanics like that for the current ability to sit are planned, right?

...My point is, wear and tear is ANNOYING. Not everyone can or wants to dock everything. I don't want to forget to dock a ship, go on hiatus for a few days, and come back to find that I have to run around my cruiser making all kinds of repairs to things. Nor do I want to be flying around and...

...And if they aren't docked...?

Hm. What if the pilot couldn't use these options in flight mode, forcing them to have another person(s) with them to reroute power to different subsystems? "Lieutenant! Reroute all power to engines. I'll try to pull us out of here, but we need more speed!" "Aye sir!" Or: "Sir, an enemy...

If not soccer balls, why not just a huge globe of square segments with circles at the poles? We could even give further-away segments LOD levels so that they don't create too much lag, in which case we could probably have each segment be up to 300 meters across or so. At that point data storage...

That would be really annoying. No thanks. Crew might be required for larger ships, and they may need a bit of micromanagement, but ships sitting out in drydock unused shouldn't themselves require maintenance, and parts shouldn't randomly break down mid-flight either unless something gets shot.

IIRC, Cal mentioned that he might (might, not will) look into making small turrets share some shields because they're currently too squishy.

I, for one, agree with this guy. While Starmade is great, there does kind of have to be more reason to do things - More things to put in ship interiors, more things to put on stations so there's a reason to have larger stations, things that make non-home bases useful, things that make freighter...

That battlecruiser is... scary.

More like on hold indefinitely. I think there are better things to work on, but yes, eventually schema will (hopefully) finish integrating his particle system into the game.

Furb, please don't get those nerfed. In smaller (cruiser-sized) ships, shield batteries are fun but usually not OP since they can get bombed out by missiles.

We also need a video to go along with it. Basically, a little ship flies near a planet, gets pulled towards it ever-so-slowly (I'm just a poor ship, I need no sympathy...), then we see that the pilot sees sees a headcrab on the tactical screen, stands there on the ship looking down at the floor...

IMO, hull color shouldn't be determined by precious materials... All hull should be made of the same material for each tier plus... maybe three capsules of correspondingly-colored rock... Not tons of expensive metal that is far more useful in technical blocks. People shouldn't be discouraged...

http://oldsite.star-made.org/content/my-first-ship-any-appreciable-worth-karas-tlen-class-runabout That's my first proper ship. Well, second, actually. My first looked vaguely like a gray gun/drill and was made of gray hardened hull.

Or: Hey Schemaaa, where are all our chairs, And our mines and all our beds, And a space whale with three heads, Schemaaaa, we have just begun Now make more stuff and we want it all todaaaay! :p

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught by a planet, No escape from gravity. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor ship, I need no sympathy, Because I'm gonna crash, gonna blow, Speed too high, flew too low, Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to...
