      Dear Schema, keep optimizing!

      Currently, I only do not unsterstand one thing: Why schema does not make an API for user actions. You enter a chat line, the chat line is sent to your program, alters it how it wants and send it back for processing. Custom shortcuts, tools for chat channels (via pm-feature) etc... it would...

      Research system (And a few other things)

      How about: Use cubatoms! to get cheaper items. Split them and craft your expensive stuff :) I support Tech-2 items. If you build a ship, it could store the number of used T1/T2 items per block type. Every time a block get killed, first the T1 number decreases, then the more expensive T2...

      more realistic power and air system

      1. Make a channel (maybe alpha?) on the finished-rendered screen depending on if the light is natural (sun, other ships?) or from your own ship. 2. Multiply all alpha on your gpu with your power bar storage level. 2nd step should be easy to implement, but the 1st? We don\'t have dynamic...

      Bonus Materials.

      Do you suggest Level-2 items or do you suggest that each sun system only has 1 type (or type-group) of ores(/planets and the planets only one of two possible ore types)?

      another starmade style game?

      I don\'t really need spherical planets. In fact flouting islands, like broken parts of planets, would look really cool. Just like the planet ships this guy is doing recently. +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 ? :)

      The Host - Confirmed Vessels

      Side note if anyone can explain how to embed images here that would rock. Use the image (sun+ 2 mountains) editor feature or the [] Source button top left and html. You may want to crop your images, merge all to into one enlarged immage or put \" width=400 height=400 \" after \"

      YOLO Turrets :)

      Turrets which do no damage => FAKE TARGETS. Visually awesome... Maybe as a warning shot (I could have shot you). Setting weapon damage to 1 (give all other stats at least 25%) costs a lot of power (like 20'000 for what? 4-20 dps?) - a single has not the projectile range or speed of the...

      More ship Functionality?

      3. agree 1+2, dunno. Altought it would be nice, it could hurt performance (but nobody stops you from defining a type3-block in your own data/config/blockconfig.xml (type3 is a 2D sprite) for your local installation. And I don\'t want to take the time from the single starmade developer (Schema)...

      another starmade style game?

      It looks like they ripped the realistic basic texture :p

      Improve BlockType=3 (sprites)

      BlockType=3 3 indiviual faces: It should be possible to make a ground-plate for the case you are looking from top. 2 disables the ground-plate. 1 let it turn itself to the player's viewpoint. (you don't look into an edge - you always see the whole face - though maybe scaled) This would...

      Core & Computer Systems Management

      Granted that weapons being able to fire through your own ship does completely trash this idea though. I think docked can not shot throught the dock (main ship). But they don\'t do damage either. It is just hard to hit a gun looking out of a 3x2 or 5x4 hole (docking has a small offset (half...

      An Idea for Turning Speed

      ( which I just patented ;) Yay :) We need an ingame pantent agency too :D And a lot of patent-trolls and patent-dodging pirates !!! We currently don\'t have fluids which turn without friction! We could use them as near-light-speed reaction weels. It would allow you to instantly redirect the...

      [TOOL] Server-Launcher/Restarter/>Vote-Rewards<

      Is it possible to let it give rewards, the next time a player is online or says some command?

      Copy and Paste feature

      I think 2x2x2 copy+paste is the minimum. Because of checkerboard style for wedge-ramps- An undo ability should also be given. Should it not be a choice for server-admins which want to forbit uploads? I mean because of smedit... Finally, creativity also means, that if you wanna have -for...

      Remote Control for Ships & Turrets

      There may be servers where it is important to save blocks (hardcore, especially with RP) and others where it is important not to die (5v5 PvP). Personally, I prefer peoples to be more important then credits. I also prefer a secure home base (don\'t want to get gang-banged to 0cr by single...

      advanced space travel

      But we need a simplified collision and object loading system, maybe a collision-avoidance system with heavily-filled sectors. (ask for sector data size on a sun-system hierachy level) - heavy sectors may act as warp suppressor/dampener in adjacent sectors. Star-Trek also has deflectors...

      An Idea for Turning Speed

      We have to take care about these balance problems: Bombers don\'t want to fight the main guns. They want to attack in blind spots. Battleships should not hunt a small little fighter. Currently they hunt a single fighter like a criminal-vessel where the pilot commited 100 worst-case crimes...

      Core & Computer Systems Management

      You made a good one :) - for a newbe :p (see the last sentence) It would at least nerf shotguns on big ships ( they LAG ) Currently power consumption is increased by number of weapons connected to the core I heard somewhere... Do you want to balance small ships, medium, big, huge, lolsized or...

      Cables

      Use the lamps (meant for the ceiling). Make them turn-able (is that possible with sprites? Have to look) and give them another texture... But tubes would be great too. Just don\'t know if they are worth the time to make them. (Chairs next?)

      Starmade Texture Pack

      It is meant for sprites which turn itself to the view-port during the render step. But it looks good on normal blocks too. They should be transparent, but imgur doesn\'t support png-files, thus I made it black/red. The teal could be yellow/orange (forgot this one :) But as sprites, they would...
