      Dynamic lights and shadows?

      I know it's early days, and probably too soon to be suggesting aesthetic things but still. I think the way the game looks would be immensely improved if the only light source was actually the sun rather than some infinitely distant cosmic lightbulb. Place a light at the center of the sun that...

      Bha-cen Foundries

      Founded eons ago on the lost colony of [DATA REMOVED] Bha-cen foundries goes beyond the expectations of its primitive-sounding name, producing ships that are -neither- both cost effective and combat effective. The Bha-cen Foundries ship production dossier will be updated regularly as our...

      Missiles stop rendering.

      Recently discovered the /spawn_mobs command and have been having spectacular space battles. I noticed, however, that eventually missiles seem to stop rendering permamently (until I reset the server), and I'll periodically come across the missile sprites suspended in space. Missiles still fire as...

      Remote Piloting Module

      By pressing the 'up' arrow while in a ship core you can take control of another core. You can be in your ship, and if it gets destroyed you can get into an escape pod, for example, without getting out and physically going to your escape pod. Now, a twist on this would be a Remote Piloting...

      Remove concentrated fire?

      When you fire your weapons, all the projectiles converge on the same point. I propose that this system be removed, as I find it annoying when I want to deal damage to the hull over a wide area but am restricted to damaging one block at a time. It would also curb the ability to tunnel to the...

      Automatic personal factions

      It seems that one of the biggest incentives for joining a faction is the use of the facion block and the advantages that it brings - namely that players of another faction cannot enter the systems of another faction's ship. However many players, like myself, are reluctant to join a large...

      Exterior Modules

      So I started playing Star Wars: Battlefront II again recently. The space battles are my favourite feature of that game by far. Anyway, one of the objectives in space battles is to destroy various ship systems on the opposing capital ship such as the shield emitter, life support, sensor arrays...

      Build Mode Nightvision

      A simple suggestion. When in build mode, it'd be nice if there was a nightvision functionality, or something similar. A means to brighten up the interior of ships. Especially when building large ships I find that I'm quickly plunged into darkness once I start building the ship systems - power...

      Weapon spread and shield damage mitigation

      Would be nice to see some slight firing spread from weapons, rather than having them as firing with perfect precision. It would make hitting miniscule targets a little bit easier or, rather, less frustrating and would also lessen the problem of being able to effectively drill to the enemy core...

      Hailing.

      A simple suggestion. When you attack a trade station a message appears in the top left saying "stop shooting". Would be cool if there was a system whereby players could directly contact a specific ship where short messages can be sent and appear in the same way. Perhaps done by selecting a ship...

      Connectivity and lag issues in multiplayer

      StarMade is the only game I've ever played where I've been able to get a ping of 40,000. This, unfortunately, happens most days when I try to play multiplayer. Sometimes, however, whether it's for hours or minutes, my ping will happily sit at 100, juust like everyone else's. Suddenly, my ping...

      Shop types

      Would be interesting to see different types of shop, that is to say shops that sell specific items. For example, shops that sell weapons and weapon computers, shops that sell factory parts, all-purpose shops that sell basic items (thrusters and power modules). All shops should sell cores...

      Discussion: perks for smaller ships

      If there's one thing that I've noticed it's that bigger is better. The bigger your ship is, the more powerful its weapons are; the shields are stronger and the ship is faster. It feels as though smaller ships easily get shoved out of the way and any prospective battlefield is dominated by the...

      "Requesting Synchronize" hangs when joining a server

      When joining a server I regularly find that the StarMade Connector window hangs on 'requesting synchronize' and doesn't go through any of the other steps. The servers I attempt to join are populated and are all on the same version as my client. One minute I'll be able to join a server, next I...
