Why the need to "lure" in members? If there is a need for and benefit to being in a faction, then factions will form. If there isn't, then it doesn't make any sense to form factions in the first place, let alone gather more people. Granted I play solo mostly, but as with many things Starmade...

I can't for the life of me find that thread again, but recently someone reported a similar issue and found that their internet service provider had a deep packet inspection filter that changed the content of these files. I'd open them up with a text editor and look at their contents, and if...

I see all of these as highly counterproductive for any establishing or balancing of a player economy. Free blocks, free money out of [nowhere] just for assembling members into a faction may be nice for creative mode, but a nightmare for a survival game. If there is a demand for something, it...

I'd prefer a directional wood block first, but I agree, more shapes for decorative blocks would be extremely welcome.

I don't see the connection; I'm using a trackball as well... EDIT: Disregard, see original topic... ; )

Ideally faction modules (and/or maybe faction permission modules) would have access control lists where one could specify fine-grained permissions based on (single or lists of) player names or accounts, factions, ranks etc., so you could block/allow individual, groups, individuals within groups...

Highly likely, provided someone funds Schine to maintain and bugfix two, or three, or five versions of planets and make sure they all play nice among themselves and with each other...

FYI only docking modules block the rail system, docking enhancers don't so it should be fine to leave them in place. You'd probably want to delete/replace them eventually, just to be safe, but it isn't necessary if you just want to upgrade your ship/station/...

Range=radius; system size=16x16x16 sectors. Math tells me that a range of 8 should scan an entire system's diameter worth of sectors, however I can't confirm or deny if that is actually how the scanner mechanic works.

I'd be surprised if there weren't already some of the logic gurus hard at work figuring out fully automated shipyards within the bounds of the current logic system, and I'm almost certain it would be possible to pull off.

I feel personally and deeply offended over having my ships called "low-budget" ; ) But seriously, if you're indeed having issues with animated textures hitting your frame rate, you probably have a problem with your graphics setup. However an option to disable texture animation wouldn't hurt, as...

I have a small workshop for the daily needs of my shipyard, I'm reluctant to call it a "factory". The furnace, rolling mill, and forge are refinery, basic, and standard factory blocks respectively with 99 enhancers each, to produce batches of 100 items at a time. They are hooked to a central...

That would be news to me, and my factories agree.

I think the idea was faction points in addition to blocks...?

Well, simply make the smallest possible shipyard in the shape you want (I guess that would be about 5x5x3, plus the computer), that way you don't get tempted, or at the very least you'll be through all possible ship variations in minutes instead of months : ) Also, percolating?

I think that's easy to test... just add a block on the end of each of the arms pointing inward and see if it is still a valid shipyard. I do know for certain that you can have "rounded" ( U as opposed to ␣ ) shapes, as long as each of the blocks connects to two others, much like warp gates need...

Including loot storage crates; and there are creature spawners too, if you can find one of the old stations. I still think there's validity to the points of "visually pleasing" and "not an insult to logic", and in my opinion the latter is more difficult to get right than making it look pretty ; )

Agreed, the current scanner mechanics are not very satisfying. For one, tie scanner range to the size of the scanner array, and possibly make larger scanner antennae take more time to recharge, not less. And/or have partially charged scanners scan a shorter range. Have multiple scanner systems...

@Gasboy: by default, and configurable.
