I saw somebody posting in here somewhere about an idea where increasing the size of a chunk of weapon blocks would grant an ever-decreasing bonus for every additional block in the weapon. It\'s not a terrible idea, and could be tested for balance limitations. The net difference is that big...

If you bump thrust/mass calculations, then it\'ll have unintended side effects. Much better to just adjust the variables attached to the blocks and be done with it.

Username?: D-Car Why Do You Want To Join?: Because internet spaceships is serious business. Do you agree to all the rules?: Yes, except AA. That one seems too sneaky because AA. *shakes fist*

There\'s already a basic system for the faction rankings and permissions, but it\'s pretty basic. I second the idea of setting per-structure access permissions for various ranks and allies. Also, there should be an option to set a \"personal\" access level so everybody can feel secure that...

You could try renaming your starmade install directory so it forces a reinstall, and then copying over the faction folder before un-renaming your original directory and deleting the new one.

Under current mechanics, the only way to make any kind of a ship take a solid hit is to cram it full of as many shield generators as possible and hope your regen rate is greater than your opponent's DPS (that is, if you're building anything bigger than small). Arguably, there's no reason...

You also have to consider server load. If somebody is flying along at 250, then they\'re forcing the server to load things up to 5x as much as the default speed limit dictates. Servers are already straining to deal with the megalithic ships people build, so I think dealing with huge ships is a...

IGN (In-Game Name): - D-Car Why should we whitelist you on our Server?: - Because internet spaceships is serious business Do you understand that breaking any above rules can warrant a ban?: - *Bill Clinton voice* That depends on what your definition of \"can\" is Do you understand that...

This has been handled a number of ways in games. A strategy/research-limited method would be to have competing levels of cloak/detect with the stronger winning out. That\'ll never work here since you have to assume everyone will have maximum level. Consider, instead, the core idea of cloaking...

My understanding is that a faction\'s home base cannot be damaged by outsiders, and that ships docked are considered to be functionally part of the structure to which they are docked. So, really, at that point you\'d have to worry about theft from an inside job more than anything else.

If there\'s going to be a jump/hyperspace implemented in some way, then it should run on more than capacitor power, I think. Like some kind of resource that has to be actively created by a player, and it\'d need a long cooldown period. Or maybe have it be limited to a structure that launched a...

I like the idea of adding maneuvering thrusters to help with turning radius, etc. On the other hand, there needs to be a limit of how much the turning radius can be enhanced versus the size of the ship. The last thing we need is some bigass battleship spinning around like a frigate.
