      Return to dock function

      We have ship AI and can even launch them (like fighters) but alas, getting them back is a pain. I was hoping we might get a 'Return to Dock' function and here's how I think it could work: A dock is marked (using the beam we already have) and the core of the ship belonging there is also marked...

      Bug Crafting missing Light Blocks

      Version 0.174 The Basic Factory doesn't list Lighting Blocks (rods are there however) Also seems to be a helmet oddity with it removing and replacing helmet when slot selected or sometimes even scrolled past.

      Disintegrators (un-nerfing)

      Disintegrators are at the moment rather under-powered (at least in my last test) and I discovered this while trying to make a mine (Bobby AI to home in and BLAMMO). I thought well what can you do to make them useful again.. and it occurred to me, have them completely ignore shields. Not only...

      The mine field problem...

      The basic idea was for me to create a ship that dropped mines.. not just any mines but mines that used the PULL effect to draw the enemy ships (or themselves) into contact. The evil part being their hull is made mostly of disintegrator explosives. Long ago we dropped disintegrators about and...

      Moving the Core

      I'm sure (but I can't find it) that someone has put forward once again... please, oh please.. let me move the core *insert begging posture here*.:eek: I know the guys at LazyGamers.org are working hard on updating SMEdit to allow it to work once again with the latest version but really, moving...

      Factions & Empire

      The point of a multiplayer game is people playing together.. give them a weapon and they start playing against each other (in groups or alone) but also for groups, alliance and faction. To that end I want to propose a future development to allow AI an expanded role in players affairs. We have...

      Bandwidth usage

      When I play Starmade I find a great deal of network traffic is going on nearly constantly, as much as 500Kb/sec. This seems to be fairly constant regardless if I'm moving or staying still. Are there any settings that will lower the bandwidth consumption on the client side and/or setting on the...

      My own cores are 'Enemy' faction

      Multiplayer game on local server. Spawned a few capital ships to practice using turrets and fighters effectively. Wanting to watch how the another players did I used /god_mode on myself to fly about the battle. I was in the same faction as the other players but we noticed that although our...

      Ship Repair & 'Schematic'

      When my ship gets beat up it hard to fix, especially non-visible damage. To that end I thought of a change to the 'Repair Beam' and adding a 'schematic' of the ship before it was damaged. 1st off in the Structures menu area add an ' Update Schematic' for the ship. This is like a memory of...
