Also, would a weapon change its type if it takes damage? What if you have a weapon with 400 beam blocks and 600 missile blocks, but you get hit and lose half the missile blocks? Does it then become a 400 beam / 300 missile that operates in a completely different way?

Go into the power priority section of the reactor screen and move Docks down toward the bottom, making sure that factories are above them. This should make your factories draw power first and only send what's not being used by the station on to the docked ships.

It'd be helpful to have a station-only defense chamber that increases shield HP by 2x and shield radius by 10x per level. Perhaps even more than that. Shield regen under fire would also significantly help stations perhaps even more than it would ships, as a large station should be able to afford...

I'd definitely like multiple stations to be viable, but they just aren't in any PvP environment right now. They're too easy to destroy with a ship far cheaper than the station is, and there's not much you can do about that.

Why can't we group warheads like we can group system blocks? If we could do that, then we could have all warhead blocks in a group go off at once, and if they're touching then they'd combine into a larger bang.

It's a solid idea, but I think fixing turret AI would be a better way to do the same thing since AI is really weak in common sense. The turret AI should be able to know how far the turret can rotate without colliding, and know to not either move or choose targets outside of that range.

One way to set a destination out of multiple possible destinations, without needing a special popup menu of any kind, would be to simply set the destination you want as a waypoint before going through the gate. If you don't do this, the gate sends you to whatever destination it used before, or...

If solar panels were station-only they wouldn't need capacitors, because they'd never move out of the sunlight. Also, stations wouldn't need to do any recalculating of solar panel efficiency by distance and star brightness, it'd only need to be done once.

At least integrity doesn't matter too much for a homebase-protected station since it can't take damage, and that's where most shipyards will be, so it's not as bad of an oversight as it could have been. Still needs a fix, because if there's anything we don';t need in the game it's more stuff to...

This would actually add quite a lot to gate effectiveness, particularly range upgrades, if they can connect to any other gate in range that you (a) have permissions for and (b) the ship is physically able to fit through. Gates could be naturally open for any non-enemy to travel from or to, but...

Yeah, the guide can give hints but it won't tell you exactly where asteroids are, like the system map does for planets and stations. The ore scanner should do that. Scanners currently can't map systems, they're broken in that regard and this needs to be fixed ASAP. They're still able to scan...

Link an activation module or other logic block to the chamber itself? That shouldn't be too difficult, I wouldn't think.

I think you misunderstand what I meant, maybe I wasn't exactly clear. I meant being able to switch individual effects of chambers on and off by logic/hotbar, instead of having, as it is now, one combined stealth effect, one combined jump effect, so on and so forth, in the hotbar and totally...

Maybe, but that's far too long to wait. This functionality needs to be there now, it should have been there on 2.0 release.

Oh god no, that's a little too much. Cloaking should be at least somewhat usable in combat, with the main cost of lacking better defensive effects. Simply having the cloak drop (but jammers remain on) whenever your ship or its turrets fire would be plenty sufficient and reasonable.

Here's an idea for two logic blocks that are analog rather than binary, and would open up a wide range of new possibilites especially for rails. SINE generator: Generates an analog sine wave with a frequency of 1 second. Similar to a speed controller, the frequency can be stepped up by linking...

Ore scanners should detect all asteroids in the system in order to be really and properly useful, but that would need to come along with scanners properly mapping the system in the first place. The way things are right now, the ore scanner is basically useless because anything you scan you're...

This is a smallish suggestion and should not be that difficult to implement, but it'd really add so much to the game as it is right now. We need a way to toggle individual chambers and the effects thereof, firstly on the hotbar - so we can swap between different defensive effects, toggle jam and...

But would it be effectively better than a Can-Mis-Exp shotgun of the same size?

I haven't been on the Starmade reddit becaue I don't really use reddit anymore and haven't for a while - what's the atmosphere there like, if any of you participate? My own personal feeling is that we'd be better served by a wakaba forum with very minimal moderation, possibly even with...
