Totally false. People will play the game regardless of whether a faction list is waved around in their face or not. Are you trying to say that the community is only made up of faction soldiers and everyone else doesn't count for anything?

Faction gameplay is also a sandbox aspect. I'll simply repeat that we shouldn't be trying to encourage any singular aspects of the game beyond doing whatever you feel like. There should be no faction browser, but there should be some instructions on how to join a faction.

Minecraft is a sandbox and a creative game with swords, bows, arrows, etc. People spend more time building than killing in that. Should they remove the combat aspect there too? The existence of weapons isn't to force people to use them, it's to make it possible to use them for those who like...

Starmade is a sandbox, not a scifi war simulator. Warfare is only one of the possible aspects of the game. Most people are okay with fighting sometimes, but prefer to do it when they feel like it. Many, many people do not share your beliefs, Blackhawk.

I'd rather not see anything that actively encourages any particular gameplay style.

Shields regenerate and have different defense values against different weapons. Armor HP has to be boosted again by hand.

Where does the sediment go after erosion? That's right, into the ocean, building up at the bottom and raising the sea level. I don't see any oceans in Starmade. If anything, the hills should smooth out and fill in holes over very long time periods. That is, if we do anything like this, which...

A combination of an HP counter based on the number of armor blocks in a single group that must be depleted before blocks take damage, and functioning astrotech beams might work. Of course, we'd need another passive system to aid in hull function, to the tune of a nanite auto-repair system or...

Ref, if this gets added, I demand that we start making mobile suits. In any case, yeah, it's been confirmed. Schema wants it, the devs want it, the testers want it, the people with influence want it. I hope we get a system to control them with scripts, too >_>

I'll be entering the AS-MF2-Kestrel I think I've been getting better at designing fighter systems. :I According to the G+ page, it's going to be 10:00 PM GMT

If you have to make it more complicated, then your nerf didn't work.

He's talking about nerfing large groups of weapons with diminishing returns, and nerfing shields to compensate. That'd just be a MAJOR buff to checkerboard spam guns again.

Not a fan of the mass-based turning thing. If anything, a ship with longer dimensions and thrusters placed further from the center of mass should be faster at turning.

That would require massive amounts of chunk updates to run well, and it wouldn't be capable of functioning as an AI system unless we simulated an entire computer inside of it.

Regardless of what you nerf... People will ALWAYS exploit weapons to have the highest power potential possible.

Do you remember what happened last time we did that?

Hey, that ship's got no trouble taking down 12k mass ships on its own. The turrets you can place on a ship that small aren't numerous or big enough to effectively kill that many drones, and the main guns can't get a good bead on that many drones. The drones took 60% losses though.

24 80 mass drones can kill a 6k mass ship. That's substantially lower mass total.
