I like the idea of asset based influence. But i think it would work better based off the credit value of an entity rather than mass. That prevents spamming cheep heavy blocks, and also reduces the impact of planets. Carved minerals would become worthwhile as a decorative building material as well.

I believe the default key for stuck protection is the up arrow key. Not the E key that you use to move up.

I think the biggest problem with the current player shop system is uncertainty. Rather than an entirely new exchange I propose a option to list shops on a directory. If you were to search the directory for a type of block you would get a list of shops that carry that block their price (credits...

The core is no longer the ships die now button. You now have to do enough damage to its systems to drop it's HP to 50% or less. You can read more here.

That logic is a bit flawed. If you can find a place to hide your base then someone else can find it too. Especially if they're looking for a place to hide their base. The only way to make it reliably likely to remain hidden is to build it in single player, or go so far out you might as well have.

The thing about the type zero Isanths is that they are almost all hull. Wich means they have a lot of armor HP, and lots of sturdy plating to cut through before you can get to their system blocks. The weapons are relatively exposed so they're a good target from the front, or if you can get...

So anyone tested what happens if you use one of these to claim a system and then leave it? Dose it matter if you fly or jump out?

I'm all for this so long as it doesn't overly strain the servers or clients.

Check in the options menu in game. There should be a check-box that will prevent you from scrolling to a new bar unless you hold Ctrl.

Well... It is still a giant hunk of processed metals. For Active scanners (the computer and antenna blocks) I imagine that would be fairly easy to tell from empty space. I agree without power readings it should definitely reduce the detection range. A player would have to be deliberately looking...

I like this idea as far as missile lock and hiding the signature on the HUD (like jammers), but i don't think it should make the ship immune to active scanners. As well as what Ixalite said about a boot up delay to prevent abuse during combat, or cloak-less ambushes.

You see that arrow on the box beside the server list button? Try clicking that. Though it would be nice if it displayed the server name as well.

Someone, I forget who, once suggested using the suits built-in factory tabs as pockets. It works quite well for storing these seldom used, but occasionally necessary tools. But if you really don't want them just toss them into space. Or if you're feeling creative build a ship of warheads with...

When aligned to or in the gravity of a rail docked ship bumping into a block at certain angles seems to cause you to exit gravity/alignment. Especially noticeable when bumping into the corner of a block.

I like the idea of personal sectors. Rather than having to claim an entire system, thus flagging it on the galaxy map. Is that an upcoming feature or do you mean the shop block?

I agree. We definitely need a more direct means of entity/camera switching. Due to how gravity logic works, we know that activation blocks can identify the initiating player. It hopefully wouldn't be to hard to translate this over to cameras the way you suggest here.

I very much like what you have here. You seem to have worked out most of the potential downsides to having a component type entity.

The major complication I see with this is inventory management. In Gnomoria(played the demo), and games like it, all work stations have access to all resources via the gnomes going to where they're stored and bringing them to the bench. In Starmade resources are stored in specific storage or...

I may have stumbled onto a middle ground between moving the core real time and an offline editor. Instead of trying to replace a currently existing ships blocks around a new core location. Would it be easier on the server to convert the ship to a filled blueprint with the necessary...

About the only way that's certain to work is to cut and paste your ship one piece at a time. Though it has been said that there will be an official tool for this at a later date.
