      Ask, and I shall Answer. Criss' Q&A

      Just don't forget newbies. The option would be nice anyway +1 :) Don't forget Overdrive

      Objectiveness is great and all, but, do you actually have some kind of opinions?

      I Agree. If I would have written an application, I would have said that I love details, code and improvement in flexibility. But I am not the right person for an application. StarMade is much better than SE or the (Microsoft-) MineCraft, but is still a proprietary drug. You get addicted and are...

      I voted... try to change my mind

      I just hope there are/ will be no alt accounts with similar names to others are made to spread a bad view of others. Not for this vote and not in the future.

      Simplify hull/armor blocks

      inventory {c1, c2, c3, colour4, ... } + {metal alloy, scrap, mesh?} - refine to -> inventory {p1. p2, p3, plating4, ... } place : use{basic, standard, advanced hull} paint : remove/readd <---> inventory {p1. p2, p3, plating4, ... }

      Ship Upkeep/Fuel System

      That would be 4 new blocks and 1 item. (fuel reactor+thruster, solar panel and fuel synthie). I have a better idea: Solar power = Grow genetically mutated plants (= usage for plants). Fuel = Grow other genetically mutated plants. Fuel-driven thruster = All thrusters in the same 3x3x3 space as...

      Inertia Thrusters

      Just do following math: average turning speed = max server speed / ship's mass^(1/3) * serverMult // to not give cubes any advantage over other shapes. turning speed x = y*z area. turning speed y = x*z area. turning speed z = x*y area.

      When Rails Drop

      I hope they will not fire at all if their bullet will hit your main ship - it costs energy and is dangerous with missiles anyway (other docked, NPCs soon, players). Maybe draw the energy delayed when the projectile exits your ship's boundary box or hits an enemy or after 0.3 seconds, but not if...

      Simplify hull/armor blocks

      no, just allow/deny dependent on colour-plates in your inventory.

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      You can finally build a sinking Titanic !!! Even with fleeing peoples falling into water (and going back inside when you can't see them). You can build a cat with a moving paw. joke:schema:intended

      Did you know that the GPL allows some sort of commercial use?

      GNU says "Please help spread the awareness that free commercial software is possible. You can do this by making an effort not to say “commercial” when you mean “proprietary.”" 1. Why is Star-Made not "Free software" too? 2. What are the barriers which avoid it being free? 3. Does there...

      Will rails have shared shields?

      25e * reactors + 125 * (x+y+z dimensions -2) ^ pow // for the exact pow-value, view StarMade/data/config/blockBehaviourConfig.xml or something similar. Just look at the blockBehaviourConfig.xml and figure out what the values do.

      Some suggestions regarding repairing

      why? Just calculate a difference to the blueprint. Perhaps mark a chunk as damaged. That's a lot faster. Shipyards are planned. Wait until this is implemented, maybe your suggestion will then be too.

      Rounded Blocks

      Depends on how you code. Partially transparent pieces give no advantage. Full blocks can improve the frame-rate. But I care more about the block-IDs and corresponding requests when this gets added. Perhaps you could subdivide block-rendering. Some part of the scene may render oct-tree (2x2x2)...

      Block placement edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner

      I think they don't (if you enable experimental breaking of unconnected ship parts). It is not about being connected, but more easily place diagonals mid-air (or mid-space ;)). You gave me an idea...

      Simplify hull/armor blocks

      I would like GIMP(or PAINT, PhotoShop)-like features added. But will we get them? A fill (all blocks visible and the same colour|type|other-option get replaced), brush, ... A simple terrain editor (pushes blocks in/out, only destroy equal|similar blocks behind) Auto-wedging And I made a thread...

      Rounded Blocks

      Perhaps a shader. Blur edges? But I think round edges will never happen in the near future of SM. Maybe if we get personal quantum computers PQCs? :) I just miss the option to make a real cathedral-tower. (would look much better with a 22.5° block.) They were designed to play with the...

      Starmade Council forum game

      5 hours 30 min by now. 1 Tomino_sama - because of his awesome YouTube vids and his dedication to them. 2 Megacrafter127 - I think if so many peoples above me thinks he win, he will get quite some votes. 3 Dalmont - he is very active when you look at google+ or YouTube. I think this gives him...

      Cool things that could be made with rails

      That's why I said area-triggers or something else invisible which blocks fire (a block-made bubble shield which essentially is part of your turret) But with cameras, it could lead to interesting combat decisions (blind your enemy? switch to build mode mid-combat to replace cameras? retreat with...
