      What happened to box dimension bonuses for power regen?

      Power beams have only 50% efficiency in the default setup. You use 10 power to get 20 in your mother-ship.

      Player-made weapons (out of blocks)

      I saw this on steam for space engineers: http://steamcommunity.com/id/roguelycan/myworkshopfiles/?appid=244850 I think we can do that too. What ingredients/parts do we need?: Shell Uses docking spots with 7x7x7 size. Contains dis-integrators (as long as collision damage is still off)...

      Replace group function in advace build mode.

      I would like the ability to paint your hull surface without having to worry about replacing doors or how you change the shape of it. => The ability to just remove a wedge for a wedge of another color (keep orientation bits) etc. Box dim X/Y should define how large an area you remove ( only...

      What happened to box dimension bonuses for power regen?

      remember that x*1.1; y*1.1; z*1.1 => volume*1.33; area*1.21 2x size => 8x volume, 4x hull area => 2x as many weapon blocks per hull block; not to mention bigger ability to focus damage on the same spot. That is what needs balance /|\

      CLOSED* CONTEST: Default Stations Submission

      I love these two stations. Especially the second industrial-frame station. But I want them to have at least some interior for the crew NPC room and a public docking spot to secure a few small starter ships while off-line.

      Captain Log and address book.

      just use display blocks on docked ships - logbooks just take too many clicks, have no header/name and take up inventory slots. This way you can even obtain copies (once text saving issues get fixed) and view them in-flight with a cockpit pointing the docked ship. I think it will be easier to...

      Faction Permissions

      I want any way to force doors to not open from activating them directly, but requiring logic to do so. I don't mind no links between faction permissions and block arrays as long as I can force them to only work with logic and use permission next to triggers. Connected to logic, it does not need...

      A way to make MASSIVE ships and planets possible and bigger sectors/view distance (poly version)

      It is a common strategy in games to not turn the ship, but the world around it. If your ship is always at 0 0 0 with a rotation of 0 degree, but other objects are moving around you, players will not clip through the ship at all. Collision checks will have increased performance because you can...

      What's most important to you when designing a ship?

      Does anybody do triple-walls? I found it rather annoying to not be able to place a computer in a wall without having it look out the other side. I my most recent ship, I will ue hollow triple-walls which can easily hold doors, shields, effect modules or whatever needed.

      Pattern Encoder Block—The solution to all our docking problems

      How about: Docking Module = Array Controller (Docking) Docking Enhancers = PEBs Just limit to max 25 blocks per controller and allow a pattern size of 5x5 (can be above or below the door as community-standart) That should decrease most calculations to the absolute minimum. 6*5 =32 and fits as...

      What happened to box dimension bonuses for power regen?

      The old way has no downside in the new system. If you take that effort, at least you didn't waste efficiency - just design choices. Now I am thinking about Instead we should have air-flow blocks which increase life-support dependent on their output / ship mass :p More blocks to build lines of...

      CLOSED* CONTEST: Default Stations Submission

      I think it does not look like a prison with all that glass. If prisons don't try to magically re-integrate peoples in social life by keeping them completely separated from it, who cares about the security of prisoners? And where do the peoples life? Even if it is going to be an automated...

      reconstruction beam/advanced astro technician

      Yay, give BBs a heat-bar supporting x*y*z blocks per 0.5 seconds (also to reduce server lag) and increase cooldown like with shields in combat? :p All the issues about build blocks have been rose up because of planet-salvager capitals which suck a planet in 8 minutes (the old flat ones). The...

      CONTEST: StarBall - the new exclusive sport of StarMade!

      I think it might be technically doable, but it would be easier to use admin commands to spawn balls. If a ball leaves the field not to the side but to a line behind one team's goal, shouldn't the keeper get it? I think the most difficult part would be to get 16 players. You should re-do it for...

      Contest: pirate attack

      Maybe you can slave cannons for lower radius? I think 500m is too few. ok for manning turrets, but even by manning turrets you could get away further in big ships. Also have some peoples losing and some winning is not the best idea as long as pirates randomly kill peoples. Do you like playing...

      What's most important to you when designing a ship?

      When I build ships which are not giant pyramids with core on top and diagonally sliced reactor/thruster rectangles on bot? I build the core room first. That is the room you will mostly be in. I connect it to a small logic room containing logic for the main bridge door, which is an air-lock. I...

      Attempt at Reworking the Economy

      You would need more inventory slots or split pay transactions for most ships. Or buy from a player-owned shop with unlimited storage (which btw has generally my like for RP) but that would forbid ships with terrain blocks.
