      System Control Computers- Introducing New Features and Saving IDs

      We all know there's a growing problem of limited ID spaces. The question is, how can we help limit this problem as much as possible? Many people have suggested ways the help with this, but I've got one I've never seen before, that would also introduce new gameplay features. Introducing...

      Starmade and Degenerate Strategy

      "A degenerate strategy is a way of playing a video game that exploits an oversight in gameplay mechanics or design. Degenerate strategies apply to player-versus-player (PvP) as well as player versus environment (PvE) games. Degenerate strategies do not break the rules of a game like a code or a...

      Decrease Spread On Shotgun Weapons

      Shotguns are currently worthless. They have a slight use for salvage beams and that's about it. I think the spread of cannon shot and beams from a shotgun weapon array should be lower, something to the tune of 5-10m spread at 100m. They would then be effective at short range, and still able to...

      Recognized Increase Dumbfire Missile Speed

      Dumbfire (both rapid and standard) Missiles should have the same (or nearly) speed as a cannon shot. This is, in my opinion, the best way to make the dumbfire missile variants a viable weapon type.

      Hey Factions- Are you participating in Blood and Steel?

      Factions, let me start this out by saying that I'm really, really excited for the Blood and Steel tournament that's coming up. My own faction is participating, and I'm curious as to which factions will be attending this trial of combat and ship building skills. And no, I'm not a team member for...

      Suggestion Signatures have pointless restrictions

      This was my attempts at a signature. A faction banner, a little blurb advertising my writing for the game. That first bit has worked fine. However, tonight, I decided I would add some of my suggestions that haven't reached the necro limit yet to my signature. Everything was going well, right up...

      Recognized Electrical/Tesla Coil Weapon Type

      I'd like to suggest a new weapon type- Tesla Coils. Many have tried to suggest an electrical weapon (whether through a primary, effect, or a similar "reflecting" style of weapon, but, in my opinion, none of them have fit what I think an electrical weapon should be like. So, after seeing yet...

      Temperature Control Effect, Heat Shielding/Armor

      Temperature Control, Heat Shields, and Heat Armor are three new systems. Temperature Control Passive Reduces damage from sources of heat, such as the sun, heat inducing weapons (more on that later), and lava, which now deals heat damage while in contact with ships. Max at 75% efficiency...

      Game "crashes" on startup when playing multiplayer

      Since the most recent update (0.18392), my game "crashes" upon reaching 100% when playing multiplayer. I say "crashes" because the game just suddenly closes, without throwing off any errors. On the one occasion where the game didn't crash just long enough for sounds to being playing, they...

      Suggestion A "Frequently Suggested" pin in the suggestions forums

      I'd like to suggest a thread be pinned to the suggestions forum section. This thread would be a list of frequently suggested ideas, along with some links to the suggestion. I'd also like to suggest that the rules against "necro-bumping" be changed, so that posts that actually add to the...

      Default skins for multiple races and genders, for players and NPCs

      So, the other thread has gotten very, very heated, so I've decided to make a separate thread solely for the idea. No "your racist if u dont agree!!!," none of the anger from the prior thread, etc. What I'd like to suggest is multiple default skins for multiple races and genders. It could be...

      Bug unable to use forums on desktop

      Once I log in, the site becomes unusable. It is constantly loading, I can't click or otherwise interact with anything, and eventually chrome tells me I should kill the page. It doesn't happen when I'm logged out or on my phone, which makes me think it might have something to do with chat...

      Hull Plate

      Something I've noticed with small ships is that it can be very hard to include hull while still having useful systems. So, I'd like to propose a solution to this. Whenever you need to cover up a system, or just want a little additional armor, use hull plates! Hull plates are thin (only a few...

      Buff Salvage Beam Range

      The range on salvage beams is... pretty sad. With my 120m salvage/freighter, the beams just look sad. I'd like to propose a range increase to about 300 or so meters, or maybe have range increase with the size of the array, so that salvage scales with the ship.

      Allow Multiple Stations per Sector

      I'm not sure why it's like this in the first place. I'd like to see it possible to have multiple stations in one sector.

      A Revamp to Jamming, Cloaking, and Radar

      This is going to be a long one. I'll try to pace, split, and color code this as well as I can. Hello everybody. I'd like to offer up my take on how the Jamming, Cloaking, and Radar systems should work. I think that the 3, especially Jamming and Radar, should intertwine more. I think the current...

      Server Concept

      Just a little idea I had for a server. A single planet plate would be massively increased in size, with the rest of the planet removed. There are no protections on this plate. People can and will need to mine materials and such from it. Underneath will be a station with faction protection to...

      My take on the upcoming ship HP system

      I've been thinking over the planned HP system for a while and have decided to offer my own take on the matter. For those unaware, combat is planned to shift away from a core based system to an HP based system. Not much is known beyond that. Here's how I think it should work. ships will have...
