I like StarGate, but it could be a bit imba -> Distance = meaningless. How about: The more gates you connect, the lower the maximum distance + the longest wormhole will collapse first. You can only have 3 gates (enough to build a branch) active -> with this, the network nodes would be...

THIS :) Or you can expand your wings to gain more power through the grid-size-bonus.

Or not collect at all. Salvage beams (even if just a single block) should pick it up the last time I've tested it.

schema: please give us a chunk-editor for the adv-build-mode :schema:click 1x1x1 -button and build normally. :schema:click 4x4x4 -button and you have a 4x as big wedge - just one button! :schema:Same for 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 - just align build box to a xyz%s for s= {2^n} <= (max build box size)...

Logic? :) It is also a difference if you use meta-data (don't have to be a grid like the blocks) or block-data. Personally, I think a ship should not give 1/3 bytes for combat. Maybe small ships can afford that because it is small compared to their meta-data (per entity). There is just ONE...

This would require one Block-ID for physics and one different for graphics... this would require a whole engine-rewrite I guess.

Just use a gravity lift triggered by area triggers once you exit the big-ship core, (to fall directly into the escape pod) then auto-align with area-trigger gravity and force-undock the escape pod. Can you activate jump modules with wireless logic once that happened? Dunno if you can, or if it...

I would love a display block act as a clipboard for the marker beam (and possibly other stuff) too, if it could send coordinates to other blocks.

Just calculate not loaded sectors statistically. Add timestamps {earliest, maxTime} to these sectors when the ships will be inside this sector. Calculate jump points only whenever a sector is changed. Schedule actions with a global scheduler rather than continuously check whether ALL actions...

Not when I last tried. They weren't even transparent in the Default-64 yesterday (Glass doors were!)

You are a real Artist - I like all of it. Perhaps -as you can use rotation to quickly popup-turrets- we have got variable "rail" speeds with counter-rotating limbs, but need variable rotation speeds now :)

I agree on the issue. Planets should have a smoother transition - like atmosphere drawn further away and the landscape fading in when taking a closer look (use clouds to hide not-loaded chunks? :D)

But in space are radio-waves and every good future-space-traveller has a helmet, radio-implant or something alike. Or modding API

Perhaps give it configurable diminishing returns (like power generators in the config). Maybe: jumpDrive.ratio = blocks.jumpDrive / blocks.total jumpDrive.distance = ((jumpDrive.ratio * jumpDrive.ratioMult) ^ jump.ratioPow * jump.maxDistance) /*while charging*/ jumpDrive.chargeDecay =...

After all they are turrets. Is it the weapons AI, the gun or the turret-dock which does that? Perhaps try to dock turrets with ship-docks. If the fire-angle is wide enough you can cover most parts with this too (I partially have done that with at least rear and front)

Spiders can talk?

Perhaps with a config-based server-side size-limit for ships and another for station it would at least disable lone ships to blow of stations. If you really want to siege a station, you have to carefully place shield/power-supply logic ships behind your single siege ship.

This is a no-problem. Just make pressure a sum of two components: A spherical pressure based on (x²+y²+z² = distance²) / (maxDistance)². A linear pressure based on Y-distance to the ground-plate's base which you are on. Then decide which you want to use and how many of which one. Perhaps it is...

Perhaps the output could be boolean to logic and string for display-blocks. You could then setup a display showing destination coordinates.

I hope we also have an air-weight / air-pressure value for planets. IRL, the air weights about 1.1 to 1.3 kg/m^3 and helium about 1/6 or 1/7 at sea level (hydrogen about 1/2 of helium). Vacuum would weight nothing, but the containment of it would. It would be a huge advantage because...
