      Recognized Master/slave indicator

      For logic, the simplest solution I could imagine would be to add an "arrow head" cone to the logic pipes; I've always wondered why that wasn't a thing, but honestly never bothered to make a suggestion either :) I'll probably get flamed for this, but why not have "logic" pipes for systems, too...

      Station Render

      Looks interesting, but get rid of the star ;) Seriously, that star is overpowering the subtle dark shades of the station - and the station should be what draws your attention, not the star.

      Planned Some realistic Water and Planet water!

      Agreed, but at the same time, be prepared to get flamed for "necroposting". Forums are strange, and people even more so.

      Mobile Improvement + Forum Fixes

      As I said, I'm not using a phone. I'm using Firefox on an AMD FX8350 with 16G RAM, I don't think I should be experiencing browser issues there. EDIT: Oops, I was certain I had said that I'm not on a crappy phone. Apparently I didn't, my bad. And it doesn't happen every time I open a handful of...

      Mobile Improvement + Forum Fixes

      I wonder... how can ads I don't even see affect browser performance? The adblocker does its job once and is done with it, unless you actively push new ads... which might explain performance issues... And no, I don't think I have the chat module loaded, I guess I could tell if I had?

      SMD has ads? I can't say I'm experiencing worse performance than before. All I can say is I have been experiencing browser performance issues before, and I could always alleviate them by closing the SMD tabs. Usually I have all SMD tabs in one window and just close that one window, so again, I...

      Mobile Improvement + Forum Fixes

      Welp, I'd prefer less JavaScript, not more. SMD really taxes the browser if you have a few tabs of it open at the same time. And I have no issues with several windows with lots of tabs in each, as long as SMD is not among them. I can track down browser slowness to SMD each and every time.

      Texture Overlay Bug?

      Devs need debug tools, and it's nice those tools aren't removed from the releases, at least not for now, because some of them are actually useful beyond debugging. What we the users need is an up-to-date list of all the debug key combinations and their effects in game. Because of accidents like...

      Recognized Colorable/Larger Thruster Plumes

      Yes please. However linking a light to the core would preclude other possible uses so I don't think that would be a good way to go about it. I'd say it would be nice for capital ships as well, if not especially nice for capital ships. And having it as a game function as opposed to a shader, it...

      Rejected PLanet Idea

      I think instanced planets could work, if you would somehow map the "inside" of the instance to the "outside" and vice versa, so you could see what's going on in space if you're down on the surface, or what's going on at the surface if you're in orbit. Wait... You'd have to calculate the whole...

      Starmade Art Thread

      Those are some nice tech demos. What I don't get is the dithering though. If that is intended as some sort of a 'grainy film' effect, why aren't the backdrops and SFX dithered as well?

      Recognized by Council Invisible, Intangible Rail Dockers

      While bidirectional docking would further increase the available options, it would still restrict the contact points of the landing gear to predefined locations, and not help with the issue this suggestion tries to solve.

      Then make it so it's visible when you have a weapons computer selected. Since it is the active part of the docking mechanism, it doesn't make too much sense anyway to see it when you have another active part selected.

      Recognized by Council Invisible, Intangible Rail Dockers

      Consider a few different ships with folding landing gear, and a single landing platform/hangar bay/runway that should accommodate each and any of them, like you might have on a space port. - You can't place rail dockers on the landing struts, because they are docked to the main ship, and you...

      Recognized by Council Invisible, Intangible Rail Dockers

      Seriously, you need to calm down a bit. This suggestion was certainly not intended to finally give those evil non-PvP griefers a way to evade being boarded by legit PvPers. If it may be used to that effect - which I seriously doubt to help very much - then that is a side effect that can be...

      Recognized by Council Invisible, Intangible Rail Dockers

      As much as I prefer rails over the old docking system, allowing arbitrarily shaped ships to dock inside a given volume, no questions asked, was one aspect of it that I sorely miss. I'd prefer having a new block with those properties, much in the same way you have a pick-up point and a regular...

      Planned Various Fleet Command Ideas

      True, but don't forget this was before the new launch and pickup rails, so he had to get creative with "magnetic" docking. And we all know how well that works.

      game crash on large paste

      If you're the one running the server, you're the one who can (and who probably did) edit server.cfg PLAYER_MAX_BUILD_AREA = 20 //max area a player may add/remove in adv. build mode to disallow large pastes.
