Currently, when AI shoots at something, it targets it and fires a little bit away from it to simulate inaccuracy. However, when it fires again it picks another random angle away from the target. For cannons, this isn't noticeable (and looks like a normal spread of fire) but with beams...

Basically, a block that would compact a five-block system (NOT-gate with two activators adjacent to opposite-facing rails) for switching rails to the opposite direction, to a single block. On a high signal, it would switch linked rails/rotators to the opposite direction. On a low signal, it...

I certainly would. I always tried to keep a docking module and a few enhancers in my inventory before, in case I needed to drag something with me...

How about an OR-gate instead of an activator? Activators do/detect way too much stuff as it is and it can and will raise issues for compact builds.

Doesn't really need a full rewrite. A Control Panel block could use a totally different system to store data, kind of like display blocks use currently. You could even make it so that you could type little labels above each button, and the buttons (which could be their own little models) could...

For an issue like this, attaching a rail docker to your damaged ship (In astronaut mode, even) so it can hook up to a towing ship is easy...

Yes and no... I think there were plans to add the pilot chairs several updates ago, but plans change. (Sadly, in this case.) Regardless, you CAN sit on blocks and wedge slopes, which is cool, and surprisingly useful sometimes.

I'm gonna have to ask Rimmer why the Sprint class has such a huge deflector dish. Is it designed for asteroid redirection missions or something? :P

Bird of Prey wings swing upwards into a flat position, if you're talking about the B'rel... You could just swing them to a flat position and dock it. Or create a specialized (extending?) platform - a docking tower of sorts - to dock it. Or just dock it to the wall. Etc...

If anything significant and amusing happens (my faction or otherwise) I'll probably end up making a comic...

Oh, that's not even funny... :P

Just so you guys know, if everything goes as planned I'll be back soonish... Hopefully sometime in June.

Eh, if anything stations should have the ability to be jacks of all trades, except possibly for location-related restrictions... Obviously a gas harvesting station can only exist in a nebula or a gas giant atmosphere, and a battle station is only useful in an area of conflict, etc... Other than...

A lot will survive, and we'll get a fragmented community. Minecraft, which is seemingly played by a sizeable fraction of the entire damn world population, can afford this. Starmade, no. Besides, Schema would never agree to this.

The problem isn't fixing it, the problem is that it was never put into the game in the first place; a placeholder system was put into the dev builds and it was never replaced. It would be rather like (to use the current update cycle as an example) putting Rail Rotators into the release, but...

That Klingon UI would probably look better if you were to flip the buttons over... Currently the text bleeds way over the text in some places and it looks bleh. Also, assuming it's possible, you might want to put a very faint triangle grid effect behind the default boxes. Not enough to...

Modular weapons that work decently require some effort as well... Not as much as building an entire fancy ship, I suppose, but enough that it takes more than 5 minutes of spamming blocks.

Actually, for what it is and what material and building techniques we have, it looks pretty cool, and obviously it's functional as heck. Not a very good comparison anyway, since in Starmade you can make things looks basically however you want. If NASA could make the ISS look badass for minimal...

Cactus farms have to work a certain way, walls that block spiders have to have ledges, redstone generally can only work if it's set up a certain way, Portals had to be built a certain way up until recently, you have to have light sources somewhere in shaded areas, you can't build floating stuff...

Nice job, General... You just found the only six or seven existing semi-counterexamples, out of the millions and millions of ships ever built, to people's issues with cubes. And it just so happens that those ships have interiors too, and aren't just solid blocks of systems anyway, so they don't...
