Most turrets could be rebuilt in largely the same shape with the new system, besides, in most people's ships turrets were only a small part of the hull so the work required to rebuild them was not nearly as bad as this... The changes you're talking about are on a much, much larger scale.

Being a non-Battlestar Galactica watcher, for a moment I thought that was just a terrible misspelling of TARDIS. ...Anyway, if this is possible I fully support it. A tactical map display is an essential part of many a sci-fi CIC or starship bridge, and it'd be great to see something like this...

The Humboldt-class Shuttle, a completely pointless thing made for no reason at all. But I made a cool screenshot with it so that's cool.

Nope. The only available formatting options are 0 through 2 or something like that. Basically, a tiny bit smaller through a tiny bit larger. Nothing dramatic.

Yes, but this time it was unforeseen and not for ingame reasons. The admins could barely keep the server up, and it wasn't even letting them do what they wanted to do to back up everyone's bases so they could transfer them...

If they're using a custom config then there's no guarantee of that. But I will consider it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Anyway, Shattered Skies is apparently restarting... again! Their universe was corrupted, and now, like...

That is a ridiculous amount of lore... I have nearly as much for the Aethi Imperium written up somewhere, but seeing as this is just a StarMade faction I never thought there would be any reason to include it all... Either way, avar, serenu kei eliara, Bogatiiri. May the stars guide your path...

If weapon damage is changing, optimal configuration is changing. And if optimal configuration is changing, I'm out. Aside from broken weapons (Shotgun cannons, shotgun beams, pulses) that nobody uses because of shitty mechanics, I don't see enough things wrong with the current balance to warrant...

Seeing as SS is coming down again and I probably won't be going back when they restart, I'm thinking about coming back here... But I'm hearing things floating about having custom configs again. Can we please not? You can buff weapons nobody uses, boost the jump and warpgate range... But beyond...

You COULD just use different missile computers and sequence the firing using delay modules, for this particular application. Just saying.

This I agree with. Waypoints and course control need to be per-ship, not per-player; the current system is just really inflexible and gets in the way of several features.

Why not have a separate channel for beacon messages?

Agreed... Honestly though, players should not be on radar at all unless they have something like a Radar Beacon item active... Instead, we should get floaty names above heads that are only visible from nearby, like Minecraft's.

Since we're getting stuff to make piloting from the bridge work soonish, I suppose I might as well mention that we should probably get GUIs that come up when you hit R on certain computers. For scanners, this would just show the scan history, a charge bar, and a "scan" button that becomes...

Just for reference, a transition into an alternate dimension would not require loading screens. When we change between sectors, we are, in some senses, going to different dimensions already.

Yeah, that'd be great, but getting a mesh to actually appear to come out of something is a bit tough programming-wise - worse with voxels. Even if it's possible it's probably not worth the development time needed to make it look cool, and if it doesn't look good (say, if it's just a mesh and...

So-called "space cutters" sound weird, but regardless I'm a fan of any well-thought-out hyperdrive mechanic. Anything but the current glorified change_sector system, I'd be happy with.

Personally, it's because I can't trust my shipyards. If I get a ship damaged, it should be trivial, now, to repair it and get back up and running, however with several bugs being known to occur including parts of ships disappearing, ships getting corrupted, ENTIRE SECTORS getting corrupted and...

Umm, not what I meant. And this is still wrong anyway. Let's see. First of all, if crew actually sat at crew stations rather than magically getting sucked into their computers, which they probably will be soon, they'd be vulnerable to the same issue when sitting at their stations as they would...

That's what I suspected, but I'm surprised nonetheless; all those systems you mentioned sound a lot more complicated than activation gates, which I'd think can just reuse warpgate code. O_o
