      Streamline Brown/Brown Advanced Armor production.

      Currently, three different colored materials (Paints, then metal ingots) are needed to upgrade brown hull... Could someone please, PLEASE reduce this to one thing... orange, perhaps? I know that it isn't fully realistic, but it would make things more fair. Right now on EE I'm using brown hull I...

      Regarding the blueprint revamp...

      When asked about what will happen to buy-with credits, the replies seemed to be a definite 'no.' To me, this seems ridiculous... As the new system stands currently, sure, I could go mine tons of stuff to get the brown advanced armor, white lights, and black standard armor and ice crystal I use...

      Logic-toggleable warpgates.

      Title says it all. The possibilities are infinite... Everything from changeable-destination "stargates" to smoother, less confusing gate networks. (An inactive gate would still receive people from other linked gates, they just couldn't go back through until it gets turned on)

      With the Steam release, the HP system, and control chairs on the horizon...

      ...Wouldn't it be a good time to pull that "delayed" tag off of the transparency bugs and start trying to fix how stuff behind transparent objects renders? At least partially? Because as much as I get how hard it may be to write good rendering code that also performs reasonably well, I don't...

      SM-inspired Bohemian Rhapsody parody.

      Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught by a planet, No escape from gravity. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor ship, I need no sympathy, Because I'm gonna crash, gonna blow, Speed too high, flew too low, Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to...

      Something I thought of a moment ago... :P

      Space: the Blocky Frontier. These are the voyages of the Doomcube ASDFGAGSD. Its five-year (old’s) mission: To blow up strange new decent-looking ships, To explode new lives and factions, To be overpowered where no stupid doomcube has been overpowered before.

      Personal Permissions

      Some people seem to be creating one-man factions because joining another faction would result in idiots in that faction being able to access (steal from) their storages, and edit (fuck up) their ships and stations... There's an obvious, and fairly simple, way to stop this - Personal permissions...

      Multiple warpgates on one station, and other changes.

      1) Warpgates shouldn't be one-per-sector. No offense, but... That's stupid. The gates lose about half of their uses that way. 2) Ships should actually come out of gates, though of course there needs to be a check to prevent crashing into things in front of the gate. 3) Gates should use the...

      To quote someone a while ago on the WoW forum...

      FROM: World of Warcraft forum, a few years ago. (Ironically, someone necro'd that post with a legitimate comment. The thread was locked soon afterwards.) When a thread has gotten out of hand and been abandoned due to ragequits or whatever, I understand why you wouldn't want that kind of thing...

      Improvements to Display Block variables

      Add more variables! These include: Speed MaxSpeed (If it becomes relevant due to thrust revamp) WarpStatus (Off/Charging (x%)/Charged/Jumping) Current Sector Pilot Waypoint Sector etc. Implement a way to do simple calculations in display blocks, for things like percentages. Implement a way to...

      Render a logic pipe for docking connections?

      I'd like to see a logic-style phasing gray pipe connecting a docking block and the nearest block of anything docked to it... It would make a lot more sense than just the docked entity floating there.

      Ship core death changes.

      Make ship cores explode when their overheating countdown expires, with the explosion size proportional to either the ship's largest dimension or its smallest. I know this has been suggested numerous times before, but seeing as it paves the way for the main part of my suggestion, it has to be...

      Link more functions to blocks.

      Mail system. You should be notified from anywhere if you receive mail, but you should only be able to write and read mail from a Mail Console. (You could also implement a feature so that players could target a ship/station and send a message to all mailboxes on that specific structure, but...

      Tone down randomized backgrounds.

      I absolutely LOVE the awesome new space backgrounds, but sometimes they seem to be a bit much... Having multicolored light shows surrounding every single star system is a bit weird. I would recommend making it a bit more likely for a system to have a less bright and/or nonexistent random skybox.

      Put maximum sector size at 10,000, not 5,000.

      I was messing around with the latest patch, where there's no limit on sector sizes... And I found that 10,000 is actually a great size. It spreads shops around, for one thing, so there aren't millions of shops squished together. It also makes planets a decent distance from each other, and makes...

      Fix lighting...

      Um. Need I say more? There's no reason why the area nearest to a light block should cast a shadow. It creates weird dark edges around everything that just look... strange.

      Ability to disable shields

      Since the new kinetic effects don't work with shields up, what if a manual shield disable switch was implemented, via either the structure menu or some kind of shield controller block? Perhaps certain environmental things could force your shields to shut off too, like nebulae and perhaps some...

      What would you guys like to see the next update be?

      What would you most like to hear is coming next in Starmade? Personally, after the massive mechanics changes in this update, I'd like to see tons more aesthetic stuff - blocks that emit smoke, blocks that leave linear "ion trails", etc... Or possibly a patch that adds signs. That would be good.
