I'd like to at least see an extremely basic form of fleet control, just for the time being. Just a few simple commands like "follow" "wait" "go to" "hold fire" "fire at will" would be enough for me.

I'm out too. Under the table. How about a cheeky fumble?

It's good. The impact sounds like you're bashing a plastic tray, though, so that could be something worth working on. Try applying a lowpass and some reverb to some impact sounds - that gives the 'no sound in space' feel while not actually making it silent. I'm not a sound tech, mind, so my...

I actually had a similar thought. I was going to see if I could hook up a light to a weapons computer and activation module to see if I could get the light to glow when my weapons fire. I think that'd be a pretty neat effect. The logic system is early days, though. I'm sure it'll be expanded upon.

I set my sector size to 5000 and I love it. Wasn't aware it could go higher. I'd actually quite like to see the game designed around massive sectors. By this I mean that draw distances for planets and suns need to be much higher. Obviously planets will just be little specks in the distance...

Whaaaaaat? No way. It's a small continent and an archipelago. I'm insulted that you would see something so vulgar in such an intricate piece of art.

Wouldn't that make smaller weapon arrays completely useless? I like the current system of damage mitigation, and frankly I think it needs to be expanded upon, but damage thresholds are not the way to go. Shields used to have a damage threshold, and the game has benefited immensely since its removal.

This took me about 6 weeks, so I hope you guys like it. It was inspired by JJ Abrams' "Star Wars". I did the lens flare myself.

Doesn't work very well with beam weapons (I've not tried missiles). Turrets very rarely look directly at their rarget, and beams fire straight forwards, so all you get is a laser disco ball. Looks pretty, but they don't hit anything.

I disagree. Fighters should have much faster acceleration, but larger ships should have a higher top speed. The number of engine blocks should dictate max speed - not the engine: mass ratio. The acceleration curve also needs to be changed to make large ships accelerate very slowly, and small...

I'd like to see an option to disable shields, or disable their regeneration. Ultimately I'd like shields to have a constant drain on power (rather than only draining power when they recharge) but I don't think that's a popular idea. I've not had the problem you've described on any of the ships...

I think the problem can be fixed by redesigning your old ships. Also, shields are massively OP at the minute. I think once ships optimised for the new weapons are built and the strength of shields has been suitably reduced, a lot of issues will be resolved.

Shields should be weaker than pre-update. Having extremely tough shields was a necessity when capital ship guns had massive DPS and RoF. Capital ship cannons are now much closer to what I always wanted them to be. Huge damage, but a low RoF.

Would be nice if there was an option to set a filter so that only blocks of a specific type are rendered. Sometimes when digging around inside a large ship, I'll want to rearrange the interiors. This is incredibly difficult when the interior is a solid mass of modules, and by deleting or placing...

The weapons system definitely needs some tweaks but so far I really, really like it. I especially like that ships are likely to have different roles rather than having the ship with the biggest guns being the winner against everything, which was the case in the past. I've been experimenting...

After a short hiatus from Starmade I come back to the forums and am struck with "holy shit everything doesn't look terrible" and I like it. Good job.

What is this? Twitter?

General discussion, yo. Until there\'s an off-topic section then posts like these should be very welcome here. I loved Incredibles. Cars was meh. I\'ll have to Google this.

I thought this was already suggested? Or maybe I misread the myriad of other \"spherical but not spherical planets\" threads, namely one that described dodecahedron planets. Still, I like it, and you have the rare honour of having Schema post as well. I\'ve always been happy with one-sided...

Yeah, I\'d personally rather see a turret system like this than the current system. It just looks nicer and it avoids a lot of the problems with massive turrets clipping through ships. I\'d rather not see comparisons to Space Engineers, though. I played that game a bit, and it\'s fancy, but if...
