Nope.

And neither will the next 20 people who want to do the same thing.

I was thinking of actually replacing the current jump drive with something that has its advantages but is more tasteful and corrects its flaws.

To me, it seems a little odd to be able to command ships to fly somewhere, but then not be able to command them to fight unless a player is there. All I can think is how immersion-breaking this would be. What I would like to see is the ability to control AIs in formation around a station or...

I seem to recall something similar being suggested, but I don't remember seeing some of the details and caveats I put into this thread. Anyway, sustained warp is a highly desired feature and I expect something close to this will be the final form of ship warp drives.

So, we have our jump drives and jump gates, but if you're going more than two or three jumps away and there's no gate, it gets to be a pain in the index finger, like having to mash the W key for an hour in the pre-FTL days, only worse. Like most systems, I highly doubt the first implementation...

I had another idea about the whole planet value concern. What if instead of having random resources, planets had specific resources on them? I think this would drive factions to try to control one or more of each planet and trade with other factions if that is not possible. Natural resources are...

This is something along the lines of what I had in mind - and this combines the more passive "explore, grab, gone, explore, grab, gone" kind of collection for players needing low volumes of fuel with a potentially war-inducing scenario where planets are valuable fuel resources that require less...

You've just re-explained the importance of good configurability. Starmade has a complex community encompassing a number of different play styles that sometimes work together and sometimes don't. You're most probably correct. The only reason to kill off a weak faction on your border is if they...

I have mixed feelings about that. It was more balanced for pure-combat ships with aesthetic exteriors and overall shapes, but far more punishing to my favorite variety of ship, which balances interior and exterior aesthetics with high combat performance. You couldn't do a lot of what you can now...

This is because most ships are long and sleek. There's a lower pseudo-moment of inertia about the z axis. Bulkier, shorter ships will have a roll speed similar to their yaw and pitch.

Your "segments drawn" (a setting similar to render distance) is too high. Reduce it until you get a tolerable frame rate.

You still need a way to limit the power output of such craft, not just their capacity. Otherwise a ship could be a fuel hog bug have ungodly power output while its fuel lasted.

I rather like that prospect.

Gunners, a pilot, the captain... There are advantages to having an extra person or two onboard already. I know because I have worked with another person (who functioned as my gunner while I handled helm and secondary weapons). The main advantage is the fun of working as a team, which is use...

You know, you could throw this in the suggestion forum... Anyway, what you've described here is an unlimited, inexhaustible power source (starlight is infinite in the game). In other words, get one blue star and you have it all. That works to some extent, but it's not as flexible as stuff like...

I think the wiki actually contains *some* useful information about this stuff. I'd give it a try. (wiki link at the top of this site - the ones on google are bogus)

Look at the ship crew link in my signature. That is literally the number one thing needed for ship crews. By the way, what is this thread supposed to be about?

Well put. This pretty much sums up the desire and need for survival content, which I 100% expect to see in Starmade in one form or another.

Right. Minecraft with mods is all about exhausting content. At least in vanilla you focus on creativity. Starmade now... that's another story; another book; another universe. You can get all the resources in the world and still have stuff to do, places to go, people to lob nukes at for popping...
