Maybe for larger ships a larger dimension is needed? That way a station with a broken antenna can still summon smaller ships but not bigger ones? IDK.

Personally, I kind of want to require people to get out of their ship and actually activate a shop block to use a shop... That way, factions can have public shops and private shops on the same station, with different prices. (Additionally, people would actually go and use those awesome trading...

YES. Rather than a credit fee, though, I'd say that it should use a few faction points, scaling up based on ship mass. Maybe 1 FP per 100 mass? (Also, the beacon block that lets us do this should let us have several custom transmission messages when the station is hit. "NO SOUP FOR YOU!!"...

Not everything; that's a Charon turret, so of course it'll be huge...

I will have to experiment with similar panel turrets for our own starships. Your turrets look suspiciously... tiny... but regardless it is probably better than the odd embedded rocker panels we have in the sides of our ship and one way or the other the amount of blocks I can fit will end up...

...but your turret is tiny... Creating practical turrets with similar yield to ST phasers would probably still require the use of traditional barrelled turrets. Your solution might prove insufficient.

Yeah, I like the enhancers thing.

My complaint actually has nothing to do with other Sci-Fi. Look at this ship: ...And tell me how the hell things like this are supposed to have reasonably-powerful turrets that don't make them look like crap? (If you look closely, you might be able to spot a pair of derpy little embedded...

Torpedoes were self-guided (basically lock-ons, we have these already but obviously they can't lock outside of the screen space) and phasers were effectively a type of turret. They had no external moving parts, but they could cover a wide range of angles... The only things that can do that in SM...

As someone who's run into this issue, I would support this... If the way turret shield sharing works were to change a bit... At the very least, though, I would like to see the ability to crosslink into the turret base if not the main ship. Would open up so many possibilities for better-looking...

Yesh.... This would help so much with my stations. Seeing as they are usually supposed to be composed of multiple structures, this would allow me to skip the spamming-block-towers step of reaching the location I want to build my shipyard or habitation facility or whatever at.

That is actually incredibly useful. I hate mining and then forgetting to unclaim a sector with a one-person or startup faction...

I'd keep both, however, as I always say, hyperdrive SHOULD NOT be a capital ship system. In practice, I'd assume, larger ships would use it more than smaller ones considering the fact that it's for longer range and takes a bit longer than a jump for short distances, but as a mechanic for a...

Yeah, and having pulse waves the size of a planet that obliterate enemy doomcube fleets is a ton of fun too... Doesn't mean that it's practical balance-wise, or a good idea to implement.

Yes, but there is no restriction to scale in StarMade. I'd rather disable it altogether and force people to use atmospheric fighters and ground forces, than try to make the system balanced WITH bombardment...

To me it seems more intuitive (and would look better) for the inhibitors to animate down... since they spin down jump drives. This is probably not accurate to Star Trek, though. :P

That should be a goal. For the record, there is literally no practical way to scale finitely-sized planets' defenses against being bulldozed by arbitrarily-large weapons... It might sound like a hell of a lot of fun for the bombard-er, but for the bombard-ee it's complete bullshit that cannot be...

...Tl;dr: Giant universes of player-created shapes bouncing around and colliding with each other is nigh-impossible to compute nicely (without tricks, anyway), so we split the physics up into tiny universes called sectors and so everything works? :P

Waitwaitwait. So we CAN have shiny gold hull now? Better move that card out of Rejected on the Trello, kupu .

You can just create new factions, set up their alliances/enemies, and then assign the waves for those factions, I think.
