These are amazing.

I just want mass-based turning. It's what we had before, it was better, and it's simple... It's not perfect, but it's much better IMO. ;_;

I think it would be best if we went back to mass-based for no- D-does that mean... No more boxdims? If so, I am going to put a long sticks out of every direction of my ship and no silly turn-rate nerf is going to stop me.

If you have Earth-sized planets, you might not be able to find/fight other players in a reasonable manner, and you might have way too many resources. 1KM diameter or so might be fine. And one gigantic planet near the core of each galaxy might be cool too. Others would probably have more ideas...

I think the rails themselves shouldn't have sounds, but we could use soundblocks with server-present(allowing server-wide sounds available) and a client-side sounds folder(if named the same and in the same place relative to the StarMade folder, they'll play for both players) sound files. Maybe...

Don't fear the titan. Fear the drone carrier. On another note, I do think small ships should have a good chance to run away.

I think the faction-point cost of homebase size should be enough. Factions spending under a certain amount of points on their home base should be immune to sieging. Meant for 1-3 player factions. Perhaps an extended cap depending on percentage spent, or "reinforcing" with extra faction points...

Is(I assume it is)the massive number of cubes and all their data what makes large planets so laggy? What makes them difficult to make work at all is the geometry, though. Even if it could work, a bigger problem is just that it could become too big. At speeds people will travel at(150 speed...

I'm hoping the NPC system as a whole is fairly in-depth, if the hints in Q&As regarding fauna are any indication. But these things might be a while.

I just had an idea: what if you could use the 50% only shield to your advantage? Hit a block of hull with an ion weapon, and it's wasted.

I saw this elsewhere and couldn't find it in the search, so credit goes to ???(I think I know who it was, triangle/illuminato portrait guy?):using orientation bits for logic? Don't know if it's possible, just throwing it out. Said it could allow to compress logic systems quite a bit. Edit...

Not possible. people will analyze and shred and test the game till they find whatever is absolutely best. you can fight it, you can balance it better, but you can't completely stop it youtube.com/watch?v=vXgpGBbh5r8 The existence of a metagame can't be stopped You need numbers to really balance...

We've seen this a lot. On the subject, different body shape(s?) might be nice. Though you might have a problem with hitboxes not matching the visual, or choosing the character with the best hitboxes. Plus textures.

The thrust system will allow you to allocate thrust to turning. Personally I feel that both should have separate points for max speed and acceleration.

A very lazy way to solve inside/outside is the max dimensions(including turrets) and say that the shields are repelling the nebula. Dunno about when shields are down.

I think you should automatically see shops and trading guild stations, but either not see abandoned stations or not tell the difference from them and pirate ones until you get closer. Shops should be advertising themselves, and abandoned stations wouldn't be. But try going back to before the...

I recommend using a system of logic, doors, and disintegrators on both ends.

The current beams seem underwhelming in the idea of replicating common sci-fi ships/tropes(always nice to have). Why? Quite a few of the beams in sci-fi I can think of are generally not close-up, light anti-fighter weapons, but ones meant for brawling with capitals at range. Closest to the...

One problem I see is currently they use different ores, IIRC. Thus, this could not replace it and would have to be a separate block that requires all the ores, an expensive block used rarely. Otherwise it would cost too little or too much.
