I'm just going to leave this here... http://starmadedock.net/threads/a-manifesto-on-fuel-balancing-and-various-play-styles.5130/

This is not meant to be a suggestion thread, although I hope a variety of suggestions arise from it. If it is in the suggestion forum, it was moved there in error and should be returned to general discussion. I’m not suggesting anything new here - I’m elaborating on much-discussed issues as...

Nothing more? You just about imploded my brain. XD

What the heck???

The fact is, not having fuel as even an option severely limits freedom to customize. Given the mixed feelings of the community, it is obvious that there would be an "unlimited fuel" parameter in the configs. You cannot ask for better customization than that. There are simply no arguments against...

There are only two points I disagree with you on. The first is... By keeping some amount of entry barrier on this (just like there is a bit of entry barrier on even designing a decent ship), you maintain the value of the skills held by clever people like me. I'm still learning about the...

YEEESS!

Given previous reception by the community, I doubt something like this will happen any time soon if at all. I'm not really opposed to the idea of different fuel and power generation, but the idea of using fossil fuel onboard a starship is pretty strange so I don't agree with that portion of your...

I actually did some work on the door articles today and made them more complete, and fixed the outdated antimissile turret article that said beams were the proper weapon (they don't work at all anymore).

Yep. Starmadepedia.net is not the top result on google though (yet). We would all like to see that remedied.

After reading the discussion here, I'd put my vote in as pro-HTTPS and for merging wiki and site accounts. While I have a wiki account, I don't want to have one. It's just another pointless account to trip over. Consolidate things. The encryption should more than outweigh any potential reduction...

What you've described is a workaround for a missing feature, not a proper autopilot. Also, it cannot take advantage of overdrive or jump drives.

Nanites: Starmade's "black gold." (or grey? but that would be lame.) Dude, that totally reminds me of a song by Miracleofsound called The New Black Gold. Funny thing is it's about a cyborg.

I think this would mesh well with the set of ideas I outlined. Honestly, as long as it's balanced and customizable, I'll be happy for the most part. I don't care for the idea of armor slowing you down though, since in the long run shields are better as they regenerate. Keep in mind armor does...

WRATH! *clobbers you with a raw fish* (JK) Well, what you're talking about is bugginess, not the nature of the game so I wouldn't worry. By the time development for this stuff comes around, the engine should have had a lot of kinks worked out of it.

Exactly. Cooperation between the servers would be essential. Otherwise, differences in rules between the servers could cause issues. I think this would be a very interesting thing to try to implement.

NOTICE: Please do not argue unless you have read this entire post. It ticks me off to no end. (You can skip spoilers.) I believe the development of rich personal combat mechanics will greatly increase the success and depth of Starmade. Why? With good mechanics, Starmade could be marketed...

You, sir, have earned a... BIG, GREEN, ALL-CAPS, BOLD, ITALICIZED, UNDERLINED "YES" This would solve so much! Oh, and what about making ore more common and crystals less common on planets and vice versa on 'roids, while increasing 'roid mineral density? The crystal/ore balance change alone would...

Planets are a good place to build pretty things. Such people have no taste in aesthetics.

I do the same thing. Just drop a core with a faction modules on it and maybe dock it to a point on the surface so it doesn't roll away.
