It wasn't always like this was it? My GPU redlines in the dev builds, but I don't think it was really doing much previously, just like Minecraft. When I get a chance, I'm going to grab a massive build off the dock for testing and load it up in a few different versions. Maybe I'm not remembering...

Well... that's interesting. My GPU is showing activity now. It never used to while I was running Starmade. It used to behave exactly like Minecraft. Well yes. It certainly seems that way. I don't know exactly how much of that is the program's fault and how much is the sheer number of voxels...

It's still kind of like jump is integrated into the reactor, but doesn't seem as strange intuitively.

You know, I like these ideas. I really wish we could see something like this in Starmade. Unfortunately, I doubt we will ever see something like this as farming has been shot down over and over despite how well it fits the game in a Minecraft-esque sort of way. The advantage that starmade...

Starmade doesn't seem to make any use of the $300 GPU in my gaming rig. If it did, the number of blocks I could render at good frame rate would be greatly increased. CPU-only rendering works for Minecraft, but unless you're going to emulate the quality of Minecraft's rendering and per-block...

Here's a fairly simple solution that might help quite a bit: For each system block, check the number of empty spaces around it. Apply a durability debuff to the ship based on that. Spaghetti ships would have to start encasing their strands in hull or something, which would make them very heavy...

Yes, that would make more sense. It would also add one more possibility for customization, by leaving out jump in favor of a very short-range ship with extra power in another area. Alternatively, you could rename reactors "warp cores" or something similar, as this functionality seems very...

While it makes sense enough for something tiny like a shuttle or a fighter, having the jump drive built into the core is really strange for anything with significant size. Something that provides a very important function has no physical representation. There's no way that little box can send a...

It could work if you only took into account external surface area. Honestly, I think the problem could be better solved by a moment of inertia-based rotation penalty, calculated per chunk. Calculate each chunk’s mass as a particle in the chunk’s center, and the distance from center of mass. Sum...

Check the latest dev blog. ;)

I'm sure you have your reasons for this, but I believe the community could be more helpful if you share the information sooner. Either way I'm looking forward to seeing the weapon changes.

Floating parts far beyond the ship are extremely undesirable as a game feature. They should break off or be made unfeasible. Requiring conduit connections with a distance-based penalty should succeed at making disconnected stabilizers unfeasible. At this point, you end up with an "ideal...

I think something like this should provide a bonus, reducing the minimum distance from the reactor by a certain factor.

Okay we definitely need a breakaway system.

You can't disagree in Schine members' threads though! I noticed when I was browsing Criss's thread. This is odd and silly.

yaaaaaaas!

So what happened? Too many kids have red-X related PTSD from grade school? (Plausible.) People can't stand to be disagreed with. (Likely) Humans are freaking stupid and a disgrace to their own creation, the internet?! (Definitely.) Anyway put it back. Make it freaking GREEN if you have to but...

Do you have a better idea?

Why is the helmet a piece of droppable equipment when the space suit isn't? A helmet in space is NOT optional. If anything it should be on by default and optionally removed with a keybind.

This is why boxdim-related turning rates might be a feasible anti-exploit mechanic despite the undesirable tendency to make people cut their decorative antennas off to turn faster. It's better than the reactors we had before!! I've been designing ships around those daggum things for years...
