I hope whale blubber is worth money. I'd like to be compensated for my ammunition consumption.

Space creatures that move about by absorbing radiation and dust particles, then ionizing and ejecting said dust out the rear end. Could work for anything from spaceflies to colossal space squid.

You do realize that a randomized quest system and a faction homebase assault system are *also* planned, right? Your argument seems to roughly boil down to "I don't like playing alphas". This isn't the full community of the game. This is the alpha community. The full community will hit after...

When you're messing with adding new, fancy and flashy features, I feel that adding extra devs is fine. But when you're changing the core of the game itself, you need to stick with the developers who were there from the beginning, since you need *everyone* to know all of its ins and outs...

I think this has been suggested to Schema directly already. Could work quite nicely, I think, and it would make it so that joysticks aren't mostly useless.

Because the universe is too customizable to be reinforced or expanded. It would take away from the player's ability to interpret everything completely free of any kind of story or restriction.

It's confirmed and discussed elsewhere too.

That only applies to a corporate environment, though. A man may develop any product at his own pace and be just as effective because there is a sufficiently strong emotional attachment to that product.

So long, and thanks for all the ships!

Let's go with stack sizes, but include not insignificant mass transfer from the cargo in the block inventories to the ship itself. It'd be easy to ship 100,000 cubic meters of pillow stuffing, but near impossible to do it with, say, 100,000 cubic meters of Osmium (or equivalent). Vega Strike...

Here, have the two main turrets from my frigate (5.3k mass without turrets, 6.9k mass with turrets, including the 8 small turrets I'm not picturing here) Top turret, the Sixgun. 11k DPS, ~1km range. Not amazing, but not terrible either. Bottom turret, the Railgun: 8.7k DPS, 1.8km range...

Ah, I wasn't quite sure what the details of that kind of system were :P As for flora, I sense that we're mostly talking about larger plants, like trees, treelike structures, bushes, etc. I'd be interested in seeing what kind of things could be put together in single blocks (be it with a 3d...

I seem to remember that missiles previously didn't account for radius or volume in their shield breaking attempts, and were just doing the listed damage on the computer. Perhaps the "nerf" schema was referring to was that multiple missiles were capable of penetrating shields simply by hitting in...

Last I checked, the guy stopped updating because Schema refused to give him the source code to Starmade after rewriting the octree format for ship blueprints.

Faction blocks, mate. :P

A KB spam a day keeps the fighters away.

I understand technical limitations :P If I had more knowledge of coding with game engines that theoretically support procedural generation (forgive the term, but it's a procedure if there's a start point and the end point is limited by what the RNG chooses, as far as I'm concerned) of 3d...

Here, have inspiration for just how alien things can get and still be describable ouo

So, I got bored and decided to try to figure out how the heck missile damage works. 200 x 100-block BB missiles dealt roughly in the vicinity of 665,000 damage (didn't bother trying to calculate the actual amount since regen threw that off quickly. This works out to around 3225 damage per...

I still haven't adjusted my criticisms for the current generation yet, leave me alone :P To be fair, though, they DID end up skyrocketing from 512 megabytes of RAM (awful) to 8 gigabytes (acceptable) this gen, so I can't really criticize the hardware.
