I get what you mean (also of course real world political party affiliations are also fuzzy), it's more that, while yes its more a matter of priority, if some people feel their priorities are being ignored they might abandon the game entirely. It's more making sure that the vocalisation of...

I'll chime in here as well. While Megacrafter's chart is nice it is somewhat misleading because you can't add the percentages of 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice, etc votes like that. Think of it this way, you were not voting for 5 people you wanted to be on the council, you were voting for one person you...

The Charon is certainly truly awe inspiring. Out of curiosity just how big is it these days? (so I can compare the puniness of my own ships against its glory).

This is presumably what happened. You can't really add the percentages of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc votes together for exactly this reason. For the sake of constructing an example, lets say that Megacrafter, Sven and Keptick were all appealing to the same rather tight voter base, but more of those...

That would also work. Left-click = start charging, left-click again = stop charging, (once charged) right click = jump, would still be superior to hold left-click continuously to charge.

If you bring up the advanced build dialog (hold 'ctrl') then select 'remove mode', the cursor box will turn red and show you which blocks are going to be removed, rather than where new blocks will be placed. Remove mode also works with the enlarged placement box you can use with the advanced...

Finally getting around to posting up a shipyard thread for some of my creations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are proud to introduce a new player in the galactic shipbuilding sector, Omega Draconis Heavy Industries...

Thanks Duke!

In answer to question 1, I get that 'cannot dock here' message, when it clearly can dock there because it just did, all the time, I assume it is a bug. For question 2 although you can change which face of the docking module is 'up' (and so where the box appears), you cannot to my knowledge...

100%, absolutely yes, especially no. 4. I don't know why jump drives don't already work this way.

Indeed, both for refits and linking computers this would be an excellent idea.

Do we get the badge if we purchased Starmade through Steam? (I realise from what I've read elsewhere that I'm probably one of quite a small number of people to have done so).

You have a good point there, STV kind of loses its purpose if most people only vote for one candidate, so having a fixed minimum, at least while people get used to the system, might well be a good idea.

Thanks NeonSturm, glad I could be of help. :) What you are describing is a multi-candidate version of first-past-the-post (FPTP), it is not a very good electoral system. I recommend watching some of the other videos in the 'Voting in the Animal Kingdom' series and/or reading the relevant...

I can't help but feel that your suggestion is unfairly punishing people who back the most popular candidate(s) and would lead to an over-representation of minority opinions/candidates. Of course the big advantage of any proportional-type system, of which STV is one, is that it allows minority...

There is also the fact the point on your ship that will line up with the docking module is the core. All of the ship has to be inside the box, so if your core is a long way from the centre of your ship you may end up needing a much bigger box than it would first appear from the size of your ship.

You know, I really must question whether you actually believe this or whether you are just trying to troll people. On this basis a politician who has directorships at a dozen companies must be an absolutely amazing representative and Rafael Correa (president of Ecuador) must be the best...

Like Comr4de said, you could just watch the video in the opening post, it explains the whole process pretty well. 'Sticking with what people know' rather than actually trying to find the best voting system is why Britain is still stuck with the awful first-past-the-post system. NB: I am not...

I like the idea of adding fuel, and certainly after reading through I think an inexhaustible but limited fuel source would be probably be best (with server config options to set the limit). I had initially been thinking that a nice idea might be to have the ability to use solar power and have...

I knew that, I was just questioning whether fixing that so that the mothership could supply the turret would be a viable alternative to an automatic shield sharing mechanism.
