As if it'd make that much of a difference. So you're in your titan, with a shipyard anchor that's half the length of your titan away from your camera, and you're going to snipe it? ; ) But seriously, I can imagine a number of ways around that issue, one being that the anchor is invisible while...

The same way you close open plexdoors with the core beam I guess?

I didn't say it was a problem, I said I'd prefer if they behaved differently. For one, not every shipyard may have the option to follow your design, because of space constraints, resource availability, or design choice. I have an existing wharf with a small attached workshop from way before...

I have to agree, it looks strange. I'd be okay with it if the anchor block were only visible in build mode, much like the area trigger blocks.

Agreed, and I think I recall that was mentioned somewhere as already being work-in-progress, or at least in the design phase. The one major gripe I have with shipyards in their current iteration is that they are always-on, consuming oodles of power just sitting there. IMO they should consume no...

I'm all for more display module functionality! One difficulty I see though with jump drives and other controller blocks (wouldn't it be nice to have the same info for weapon computers etc.?), is that while your ship has a single overall power/shield capacity, there can be multiple system...

Exaggerating a bit, aren't we ; ) ? Most of the items you name are mutually exclusive. An object is either a ship, or an astronaut, or fauna, or a kitchen appliance. Collision checks are expensive 3D operations, prioritizing targets is ticking off a list. Barely comparable, even if you combine...

I'm no photographer either, but thanks for the complementary explanation. I was just about to edit my previous post with a remark about the general ambient levels in StarMade ; ) Exploring a planet I noticed the ambient light levels in underground caves, where you'd expect it to be absolutely...

Blocking a portion of the visible stars would certainly make a measurable difference, but if over half the distant stars aren't enough to brighten up your ship, twice that many surely won't make it that much lighter to the eye. The source of illumination in a star system is that system's star...

How about they plaster your ship with trees for you to terraform the planet as penance.

I think I understood well enough. At the moment, Lukrah, Tekt and Dolom are fixed to have a lower ore density compared to other asteroids (or those have higher densities, however you want to look at it). I consider that as Schine showing off the possible range of asteroid compositions, at the...

I wouldn't want that to be a general change to the game. As I said in the other thread, I like the asteroids the way they are; if I don't want lava, I don't mine it. What asteroids, planets, stations, galaxies, and the universe in general, needs are configuration options in the server.cfg, so...

Mining planets from space just feels wrong IMO. May have been suggested before, but I agree that's probably something most people would love to see at some point. I wouldn't have a problem with the older parts of the universe becoming mined out eventually, "eventually" being a relative term...

I see what you mean. I still think it would be helpful, and certainly well within the computational capability of a Bobby AI, to have a way to tell the ship's navigational system to switch to "turret mode" for filtering out the jitter in the captain's helm hand.

Doesn't the Stop Effect already fill that role?

Right, camera output on the display block is the icing on the cake. My original idea was to have the display block overlay textual data over the GUI viewport, possibly in a transparent window as I outlined. When I came across this thread, I saw it as comparatively cheap resource-wise to also...

I feel your pain, and was just about to post almost the same thing... My idea was to connect a display module instead that contains the overlay information. That way the existing formatting code and inline variables can be reused without another block, and you can position the text where you...

Small update: the flash light does work... kinda - namely on NPCs. It does not affect the environment at all, only shop keepers and crew members become brighter (pun intended, wish it would affect their AI too) - haven't found a space spider to test on yet. EDIT: dayum, sorry... meant to append...

How is the flash light working for everybody else? Here it doesn't do any illuminating despite the hotbar icon showing as 'activated'... I have tried changing various graphics settings, but to no avail. Am I missing something obvious?
