      Attempt at Reworking the Economy

      When planet salvaging/extracting, it's just a value that gets drained, there's no removal of blocks at all. Ores will still exist on the planet, and while they can still be removed; it's mainly there for the purpose of flavor (and not wasting time messing around with the block spawning code)...

      Attempt at Reworking the Economy

      Yeah, I have a planet miner too, and whenever I use it the server lags a full 15 minutes AFTER stopping. It's because salvaging so many blocks strains the server. In the mining suggestion above there are no blocks being removed from the server so it's nowhere near as taxing.

      Attempt at Reworking the Economy

      Currently, the idea is that the relative ease of getting blocks to sell is balanced by the fact that you need to find shops to sell them to. That means spending all that time flying around looking for shops and then selling your stuff; finding more shops, selling your stuff, repeat ad nauseum...

      Breaking the all time speed record

      Make a long thin horizontal ship made out of anything. Build or move it next to a stationary object like a planet, then hold down Z. I've easily hit speeds exceeding 25,000 that way, even with the speed cap.

      Figured out the thrust equation

      I think it works fine now. All that extra thrust needs power behind it; and power still softcaps at 1.2mil. Furthermore, docked objects add to your mass; so the idea is you free up more space for power to cope with the thrust needed to handle that extra mass.

      SMEdit - Please help

      The new update is sadly incompatible with SMEdit.

      Increasing the amount of interaction between players.

      These are simply server options that allow server administrators to create their server as they envision it. As players have the right to play as they want; server administrators should have the right to realize their own vision of their server.

      Building AI Launching carriers

      Try using pulsators. Undock the ships and immediately fire the pulsators behind them and they should shoot right out.

      Dem Feels.

      Sun-World is primarily a German server. My experience with American servers are that those who speak languages other than English are quickly told off. Thus, on that server; I hold my tongue as a sign of respect and only speak when the conversations are mainly in English.

      That all of these are server options. They can be configured by the administrators. If you don\'t like how some servers are run, you can find another. That\'s the beauty of it.

      I have a story. It starts in Sun-World server, a server I've started playing a bit whenever Illusive goes down. I putz around and make some cash. Buy a destroyer, putz around even for even more cash. Then run off when I get a decent recipe to go mine a planet for materials. It turns out, that...

      Quick Fixes for Economy Exploits

      So yeah, the current economy system is horribly broken. While the suggestions I'll give won't fix it, it'll help plug up some of the more exploitable usages. What server admins can do without Dev intervention: 1. Remove faction blocks from the cubatom list. 2. Reduce the price of Ice Planet...

      turrets and drones

      Standard doctrine of fleets of smaller craft attacking a larger vessel is to neutralize the turrets before whittling down the ship. Having turrets share their ship\'s shields would make that more or less impossible. Having turret fire ignore the ship would allow me to dock turrets internally...

      Make Pirating Profitable. Add a location people have to go to on a regular basis.

      Have shops spawn in big clusters. Stalk clusters until you find people. No need for fancy concepts; everyone needs to visit a shop pretty often. Back when shops still spawned in walls; I could find people by following those walls. It\'s still time-consuming but it\'s faster than it is now. If...

      Download dropping. Something makes your machine stop downloading and leaves you with an incomplete file. That\'s the primary cause of corrupted .zips Use a download manager to force it to complete.

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      I was worried that if I went and refit all my designs, and then have it turn out to have been a bug; I\'d have to refit them all over again. For the record; I\'m rather conservative. I\'d like to be taken to dinner before I GET SCREWED. It would have taken less than a minute to add a note...

      Space. It's really, really big and stuff. Space is supposed to be big, the issue is there's not enough of everything to fill the universe. Traveling is boring, yet it's what we spend most of the game doing. As a pirate, I spend a lot of time searching for targets. Considering canvassing a 25...

      Request- low res texture pack, or how to make one.

      Or just give us a way to switch back to the old one. I can\'t even tell computers apart with this pack and everything is too damn shiny. ~Signed, Unpleasable Fanbase Member.

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      I can hit 25,000 thrust with less than 200 thrusters. It IS kind of ridiculous, but it frees up space. It seriously annoyed me at first, but now I can slap on more weapons on my ships.
