Hi everyone ! With the new block logic, it would be awesome to have 3 new blocks : - Transmitter : Sends away a logical level 1 on activation. Range depend on the number of blocks. Can be set to broadcast on a specified frequency. - Receiver : Receives transmitter's signals that are in range...

Okay so for exemple, you have to compute collisions with clamps, you have to verify that the ship can dock at the position which mean computing both the position size and the ship size. Since it's not square, you have to take the shape in account also probably. Then, depending on the number of...

I might be wrong but during the first stages of developpement, docking had been considered in different ways. One of them was the possibility of creating solid links ( a docking block stays in contact with the linked docking block when activated ) which would have enabled to have 1 link for 1...

Well basicaly, a missile is supposed to have some explosive charges. Hence, propelling them with energy might be a little unstable ( i'm not an anti-matter cannons specialist ) and it would only be able to give a impulsion at start. Or you want the missile to be fast and maybe able to follow...

By the way, i'm still looking for a "good" title for the post but i can't seem to find one which exactly describes the content so if any of you has an idea, I'd be glad to hear it :D

The "decay factor" would be some kind of server config ? And while it's on, it would prevent you from hacking the same block for some time ? I don't believe that could work, it makes the system a bit too complex. Nothing should be preventing you from trying again if interrupted. Eventually...

Well i was more in the optic of a "try again from the beginning" when interrupted but that could work too. However, I didn't really understand the "Faction block hacking: Takes forever unless you dock it to a faction base." What do you mean by it ? Like you can't hack a faction block until you...

In fact, that's also another good point of this feature. For, if you are offline, someone might come and destroy all your base. While with this datapad, they might leave your base intact so you might continue building it. Losing a ship is far better than losing an entire base and its ships.

It's just an illustration. It can be an Ipad or anything. :)

Hi ! I'm creating this post to explain an idea that I'd like to see implemented in the game for quite a long time : a Datapad. For those who don't know what it is, well, it's like a tablet you carry with you and that links you to the electronic world enabling you to interact with it. So...

By small ships, I also mean ships like 10*5*3 or ships like that. The point here is to be able to create a character model with a different form. For exemple, it you want a thinner waist or a head that isn't squared. With the current models, you're just able to apply an image to squares thus...

Well, I don't know exactly how Schema programmed the game but, each block is a entity. The reason 2 blocks can't occupy the same position is because they both occupy the same "slot". Now, if you set a core where you say that slot is not 1 slot but 100 slot. Then you can have 100 entities in that...

The huge problem is that more blocks = less performance. Hence, if the mass isn't limited. A medium sized ship that was created with small blocks would produce the same computations as a really huge ship with normal blocks. That is the reason why I believe it is best to limit the mass. This...

Good morning Starmade, I'm creating this post about a feature i've been expecting for long. I'll go through the feature first then i'll give my opinion about it's applications and it's limitations. The feature First of all, 1 cubic meter blocks are huge and doesn't allow users to create small...

Sorry for doubleposting but i\'ve just thought of something else. Maybe the damage of the collision should depend on the angle of collision too ( if it doesn\'t mean a lot of calculations in additions to the previous ones ) so that when you land ( usually you land like a plane, gliding over a...

In fact, i think it\'s the right time to talk about it as Schema is certainly trying to improve the overall performance and prevent the game from crashing with ship collision. So if we want collision to do damages, it\'s now that we must talk about it to find the collision that would best suit...

No, because if you have a small ship, you can turn faster so you can get again easily. You can ram bigger ship easily but smaller ones would be hard to ram.

Hey ! I believe we need to change the collision system to one that actually let the ships get damaged. As you can see, people like to build huge ships, medium ship, and go at full speed between sectors making the servers crash when they hit an asteroid because they aren't looking. I think it's...

Hi ! White hulls reflects light too much since a few updates and it makes them glow so much that they seems to emit more light than any light we could put next to it. We can't even see their texture because of how shiny they are. I play the game with all options activated and set to max. Is...

What i meant in my post that we could have a window that open for any allowed block, that would able us to change his color ( in the inventary ) by adding a layer of the choosen color on the texture. ( The layer could be for example, blue with 50% opacity ). Then the added block would be...
