Perhaps some more progress posts here are in order? Not everyone can/does watch the streams...

Nobody ever said that it had to be the only reward. Ground weapon parts and other things seem to already be planned as exploration loot.

You're not necessarily an example of a typical StarMade player. Most so-called 'serversiders' aren't much better in quality than CC ships, and his suggestion is valid for them. If you and I can do better than default blueprints in the game, good; we've been here for a really long time, and you...

I have not once slayed the Ender Dragon. I have, however, spent hours and hours venturing through the Nether and the depths of the earth collecting ore, searching for floating islands in the high places of the world, and building great towers and constructs in the trees. A defined end goal is...

Learning programming at the moment. Play tons and tons of KSP, StarMade, and a bit of Stellaris. Came from a 'background' game-wise of playing a lot of MMOs, got frustrated with the lack of player agency in the world/universe (though some upcoming and existing MMOs fix this to some extent) and...

Seeing as nobody pinpoint-mines asteroids, this is not at all true. Everyone scoops up both the ore and the rock anyway; no point in making the ore look silly in the rock.

No, he was saying it's different. SkyWanderers probably has its systems as different scenes, because that is generally how Unity does things. Schine Engine as it exists now isn't really built for separate scenes or 'levels' in one game, as far as I know. Instead it has a bunch of sectors that...

No Man's Buy

There will likely be a bit of everything everywhere, but a lot of something somewhere.

...okay, I guess that is true then? The thing is that, so far as I know, realistically nobody would ever use 20m fighters because they simply can't pack enough weaponry to be meaningful in normal server combat. 60-ish meter fighter craft are certainly hittable with missiles in my experience if...

StarMade. I think I may have called it Scrubmade once or twice...

This is not true at all. Missiles (some combos) work at all scales because they lock on/seek, cannons are actually useful vs. smaller ships if you can lead shots or if the ships are slow, and beams are never "the only real choice" anywhere ever. Flooding PD with decoy missiles is basically par...

He said an improvement to the data request system, which probably will make servers smoother with large entities according to what he said, but won't magically decrease RAM consumption unless they can use it to do better dynamic loading/unloading. However, with a total revamp of planets being...

I can see details changing and things being swapped around sometimes as development progresses. I understand that that's part of the creative process, but it seems to me (largely by inference) that it has been happening a lot, and on a really large scale. I was just wondering.

!?! Why do Schine's plans (if they can even be called that, rather than 'ideas') change so much? Honestly, it seems that every two months or so I hear that you guys had to change direction or rewrite this or reorder that or scrap and replace this-that-and-the-other-thing. Do you guys not know...

A station is something that you can save as a blueprint and not lose when the server inevitably goes all screwy and gets to 3000 average ping and has to reset.

Solar systems are very large things, Eltarani. Perhaps with FTL you can fly through them in the span of a few minutes, but no matter what continuity you're in, they are not that small. 300 m/s is only 600-something miles per hour. Regardless, my point is that "planets are round" is not a reason...

Less entities to calculate collisions with, more contiguous build area (trying to build over the edge of a dodecahedron is a joke, and dodecahedrons have so many damn edges... Even if your dodeca has more than enough surface area for a nice big city it doesn't matter because it's a dodecahedron...

Space combat doesn't occur over short distances Solar systems can't be flown through in a few minutes at 300 m/s Spacecraft aren't made of cubes Matter in general isn't made of cubes People don't look like box-headed flexible robots Lasers and most types of beam aren't visible as lines (at...

Does it not, though? You already have a functional sector system, that I don't see changing very much. You already have solar systems, that have asteroid belts. You already have NPC factions. I obviously don't know the plans (which, if so much stuff depends on them, should be pretty solid...
