He's not asking for Schine to put in a classification system or to force one on the community. He's asking for the ability for people to be able to put in their own, say for example a player's personal faction. There's a quasi system there already, when you go to save a blueprint, there's a...

Oh, nice work on the angled computers. :) And I love holographic work. Would it be possible for your holoHUD to hold more info? Status of cargo and speed, and hull/armor integrity? Pretty please? :D

A+ for the witty and intriguing reply.

This is the thing that I do not get either. If mass is the only advantage, then I could say that the chandelier ship would be slightly faster and more maneuverable. However, depending on the spacing between the "bits" of the chandelier, the chandelier might end up heavier. Also, the "normal"...

I did make a suggestion for this, that we have tools that allow us to yank out everything of a specific block type. You could choose a block type from the list, it'd give you a "Are you sure?" sort of confirmation box, and you click yes, and bamf, all the power blocks are removed. Another tool...

And he's asking for a way to create and name such roles. When you go to save a blueprint, the default role or name is "General", if you click the dropdown menu you'll see there are a few that are likely going to be used by the factions. The OP is simply asking that we be able to add our own...

He's not suggesting that Schine make a class system, even though Schine has done so in that you have "mining", "general", etc. He's asking that Schine open that up so that players can create classes for themselves.

But if the short term goals are part of the long term roadmap, then those short term goals will make it into the game whether people vote on them or not, yes? Or can players cause certain things to be dropped by not voting for them? This is the equivalent of bread and circuses to keep the...

Actually, companies do share their plans. Usually only to their shareholders though. But numerous game companies have offered proposals like this. Wargaming has done this a few times for World of Tanks and World of Warships. The community disliked most of the ideas, and several of them were...

How would the community make suggestions to Schine then? If they don't have time to peruse the forums, and the council isn't doing it and vetting ideas, why have a suggestion forum at all? You'd have Schine dictating what features get into StarMade in that the community could only vote on what...

Well, put it up on the dock and Jake can put your ship into the image. :)

I think it's a good idea to get a council in before the power rework proposal moves much farther forward. A council as outlined in the document in the OP would be very helpful for you devs, I think, in helping sort through the mass walls of text. This is a pretty tight timeline. +1

A comprehensive list of ideas posed in that thread. Wish me luck!

That is one heck of a proposal, but is it one we can refuse? I'm going to go through that gigantic thread and come up with a summary.

I'm thinking of reading over that entire, gigantic thread and posting a comprehensive list of ideas proposed by the community. But that's going to take time. Maaaybe after work.

Uhm, speak for yourself? The community seems to be split into many different lines of thinking. Power is the most important system in the game. Changes to it will cause everything else to change with it. Schine wants to take StarMade forward, and to do that, power has to change. The...

That's an interesting article. Thanks for linking it.

Should we use this thread for February's ship?

Ah, gotcha. :P But you don't have to wait. You can, at the very least, make shells. You can attempt to map out where the reactors will go and so on. Almost like a waiting game, how close can you get to the ship's required power in a guess? :P

Companies do this all the time. If it was just a cool new feature, Schine would have just put it into the game. But this change isn't "just" a new feature. It's the underpinning of the whole game, mechanics-wise. There's nothing that happens in game without power, and obviously Schine had an...
