      Ship arena

      I just don't see the need for an additional game mode with all its implications - dev time, bug fixing, maintenance, customer support; most if not all of this can be done already - find a quiet corner of the universe, get together a pair of gladiators, a referee, and some spectators; charge...

      Ship arena

      Where do the credits come from? I'd be fine with both players depositing some amount, and the winner gets to keep it all; but resources out of instanced dungeons thin air, with no risk at all, and faster than I can say "exploitable"?

      Incentives to Expansion (Anti-Turtling)

      Read it all, and agree with most of it, despite knowing Schine already announced that they plan to make "points of interest". Until we know more specific details, all we can do is speculate and suggest.

      Developing Stories for the Frontier

      I'd prefer the lore, back story and storylines for my universe to be unique and emergent. Concentrate on giving players and admins powerful and accessible tools to create their factions, lore, and back stories. If you make it modular enough so these stories, or individual storylines ("story...

      You mean the wavy flag "alerts" symbol? If I'm not mistaken, if you "mark forums read" (under the forum quick links), it resets the notifications as well.

      Brown Paint

      Because before, people were complaining they had to manufacture brown paint from three constituent colours... I don't see the necessity to have an extra resource just to manufature brown paint. There are eight minerals, each with their corresponding paint canister. If we should get more (or...

      Starmade MANIAC LOGIC

      Hello Professor Falken, how about a nice game of chess?

      Award Wilavid7 with the Master Builder Award

      Taste is subjective. Not to slight this particular build, undeniably a lot of time has gone into this ship, but does time alone warrant a master badge? Not everybody has unlimited amounts of time, just like not everybody has creative talent. I've seen many builds that often enough are on a much...

      Saber's Thread

      You know what would be great? If the flanges would only show on transitions between different pipes or blocks, ie. you'd have no flange between a bend and a bend, or a straight and a straight, but where bend meets t-piece, or straight meets block, and so on. Would require some algorithmic...

      Resource system finished?

      This post beautifully illustrates why I hate those darn pseudo-intelligent smiley face icon text replacement algorithms with a passion ;) Sorry for off-topic, the urge was too strong.

      Saber's Thread

      Yup, makes sense to not have it stick out. Still not entirely convinced by the looks, although I admit it would be difficult to meet both criteria.

      What's a good way to make thirteen billion credits?

      You could purchase it after you've salvaged it down to one block, and then build your own station upon that as a foundation. Should be cheaper than a new station (depending on your server's settings of course), and you'll get tons of crystal and mesh in the process that you can sell or use.

      Saber's Thread

      Chairs have been "coming really soon" for years... and beds? I'm sooo tired of the monstrous workarounds we have to build ;) Love the handrails, and yeah, both centered and offset would be great to have. And pipes, awesome! Do you think you could "roundify" the 90° bend? Not really...

      Star System renaming?

      Except they don't. I have on more than one occasion seen several stars with identical names in the same galaxy, sometimes even very close to each other. The name generator itself is a nice gadget that could benefit from a linguistic overhaul, but it's certainly not a pressing issue. I hope we...

      Carrier Launch System Help

      It definitely works with pickup rails. In fact I haven't tested it on basic rails, but I'd expect them to work just the same.

      Interserver Facs Big Facs Small Facs Fight (is that a problem)

      I think that's already quite off topic from the OP's question, but I'll risk further derailing the thread... Direct, short-term economic gain (aka. "loot") shouldn't be the reason for war, even "if it's just a game". It may be reason enough for a skirmish, but not for a war. It may be reason...

      Carrier Launch System Help

      You can C-V rails to logic, they don't have to be adjacent anymore, although it's a pain to set up for more than a handful of blocks. Also currently c-v'ed activation modules don't work as intended, they never reset when something undocks/moves away; buttons inherently don't have that problem...
