      Heavy Metal. 20 years in the Navy. Half that time doing overhauls. No matter how good your hearing protection, 25+ years running a grinder inside of a steel can takes it's toll.

      Svens Practical Logic Tutorials

      Unlike you, I am 97% deaf in one ear, and 90% in the other ear, so you must forgive me if I fail to see any utility behind 'explanations' I cannot actually hear. Have you considered close captioning or subtitles? I understand Youtube can do it without altering the video itself in any way?* *I...

      As a person who spent years writing documentation, I do not consider those who do the research in order to understand a system and attempt to distribute that information 'worthless'. I do, however, consider video tutorials markedly inferior, and it is a little disheartening to see someone who...

      I know the problem is on my end. Mostly nonworking ears. But that doesn't make me wish to understand logic any less.

      I agree. but it's too hard, I guess.

      Curious Fuel Survey

      If ammunition were based on the number of blocks in a system, it would be self-correcting. new players would have minor ammo costs, while titans would have very large ammunition costs.

      Arrows, but you are right in that the focus is different. modded minecraft is a very different story, and I am pretty sure that's where the majority of notch dollars come from. As for exploration being irrelevant, That can very easily change. It's not on the roadmap, but it has been mentioned...

      Curious Fuel Survey

      I don't like fuel per se, but I like the idea of 'ammunition' it would give beams a reason not to suck

      (sigh) More inaudible 'video' tutorials. I think you should start making illustrated text tutorials instead :)

      Gigantism

      If you have a problem with resource gathering, you are playing the wrong game. and resource gathering includes looting pirate bases, and fighting and looting other players. It is a core mechanic. I am certainly hoping 'maintenance' becomes an issue, so as to improve the need for resource...

      I have a question... do rotation speed controls affect turning rates on turret control rails? That might be a good server mechanic. 'x additional activation blocks to slow down turrets per 100, 100o, etc. turret mass'

      Hogwash. resource gathering is the only POINT to PvP or PvE or whatever. fuel and ammo is a GREAT idea. If it costs you enough resources to build a fleet of cruisers to fire off that 2 mil damage missile launcher, you may think twice about using it as your only weapon. I don't want a crap...

      How come no one ever makes any text tutorials anymore? These videos are useless to me. Being mostly deaf isn't THAT uncommon.

      Transport block

      I would like to suggest a transportation block for individual captains. Something you can 'r' click on, and it 'teleports' you to another linked block (no pipes, please) to simulate rapid transit systems for large structures such as space stations or titans. It could be used to send simplify...

      Drakkarts Starmade Tutorials (collection Thread)

      I was being facetious. Seriously though, I think I need to write some tutorials myself. Some of us don't learn very well through video tutorials... We are much better with the written word and pictures/diagrams to guide us through doing it ourself. (Or we are pretty much deaf, like me.) It...

      I'm new, what should I know what shouldn't I know?

      Why would you build capacitors in cubes? aren't they irrelevant for placement? Especially for stations? If not, I have some serious redesigns to make (since stations and jump drives are the only things that actually really need capacitors)
