      Ideas for reviving the multiplayer community

      I wouldn't hold my breath for that universe update. What little I've seen from it, the new planets are only somewhat larger and slightly more round, while still working on the same flawed "plates" concept. The guy does. not. learn. What'd it take to make the game enjoyable? Revert to power 1.0...

      Shaky Ship Controls

      I've got a similar thing that's been going on for years; Enter or exit a ship core, and said ship sometimes, apparently randomly, starts violently rotating. - Even though I'm making sure it's perfectly still and no controls are touched. Haven't seen the shaking you described though.

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Seriously. QF drove away even more players from this dwindling community. In the next patch of the game - IF we even get one: -No recoil, no stabilizer distance (or preferrably no stabilizers at all), and armor stacking should be internalized. -Every other QF setting reverted to the last...

      The age old problem of "relocating/moving the ship core" I HAVE AN IDEA!

      -Additional control blocks were asked for ages ago, so far there's no sign of them. -If no technological break is made and the cores stay, their relocation could be handled as such: New button for build mode: "Relocate Core" Click on it, a window pops up, asking you to input an X, Y, Z...

      Cloaking makes docked parts become invisible to ship's own pilot

      Since the "Phabricator" page seems like it was designed by a space alien with the sole intent on making it as unusable as possible, possibly to keep the number of reported bugs low, and on the few occasions I chose to spend my time on reporting something there, the people in charge either failed...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Do you really believe this, or just lie to win an argument? This is the exact opposite of the truth, and a really cheap way of trying to make a point. The game already let me build however big I wanted before the quickfire config artificially created your warped version of "reality". The FACT...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      I've done some more building on these new settings, and I can only confirm my earlier suspicions. Oddly enough, I don't seem to be the only one who dislikes something here. First, the good: -Removing recoil was the only sensible thing to do. Large cannon turrets were creating game stopping lag...

      Armor "chambers" don't work. At all.

      So, the system has been out for quite a while now. Has anyone else noticed Armor enhancement "chambers" (insert obligatory ptoooey on use of this word) in the defense tree don't actually do anything? The description says they'll increase your blocks' resistance to certain types of damage. So...

      Lovely. So facts can twist whichever way you please, and the actual villain of the story is free to do how he pleases because he's special. Just make sure to write a letter to David Draiman, Friedrich Nietzsche, and the ancient Roman Empire, and call them all Nazis as well. Best part is, it...

      Corrupt SJW Discord admin!

      If he acts like one, why not? It's not as if I was laying in wait, ready to pounce on unsuspecting innocents. I'm halfway convinced he's a troll, so why should I be the bad guy of the story. It wasn't even the first insult in the story. Reminds me of the shoplifters I used to catch when I...

      Amazing. It's as if I haven't explained why that doesn't make sense.

      Corrupt SJW Discord admin!

      Geez, the world we live in. So, this happened today: I look up what's happening on the SM discord, and notice there's some conversation about flat /cookie planets. I write something like "the only sane way to do planets is either spherical, or some videogame tricks to make them look spherical...

      Small Simple Requests

      And the "Stop" ones as well! Normal rails too! Elevators or large doors are way too slow. Funnily enough, the game offers speed controllers to make them even slower... I think we're talking SEVERAL times faster than now, in both cases. I'm trying launch rails for my M-55's and it looks...

      What have you done... (power system wtf)

      Quickfire's removing stabiliser distance and cannon cursor recoil. They don't outright remove, but ease up missile storage requirements. Before that, reactor beams, integrity, and recoil "propulsion" got removed by the official team themselves. -Does it make sense to have reactor parts far...

      What have you done... (power system wtf)

      And tell them we did. Anyone with a shred of common sense could see what a mess this is going to be. And yet, 38 disagrees by rabid fanboys on my OP here, most of whom probably fled the game they themselves led to ruin, while I'm still here, gritting my teeth at every stupidity the system...

      How do you balance a cheater? With a ban hammer.

      Oh, I've seen that. Massive, featureless plate as a station, with an equally long brick ship glitched through it. Those morons spent two whole days lagging out a server before they were found, killed off and their miscreation dismantled. That' what happens when there are no admins around. As...

      How do you balance a cheater? With a ban hammer.

      Here's something definitive then; Clipping a bunch of entities into one another causes lag. Building/ Spawning stuff that causes lag are generally against most server's rules. I've seen some good admins who actually went around and checked up on stuff that caused lag; Yes, the logs show it...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      I've yet to do any testing I was supposed to, but this line kinda bugs me. I hear this one used often enough to defend Starmade's flight system. I guess it sounds scientific enough if you use Newton's name. What'd Newton say though when someone proposed an object accelerating 90 degrees...

      How do you balance a cheater? With a ban hammer.

      I admire your integrity, but your guilt is misplaced. That's still two stars more than what such hideousity merits, and THREE more than anyone who intentionally mispells every word while acting superior deserves. Now let me share a fun little story of how I balanced cheaters in the golden age...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      And you have your head up your rear! -And now that we've both had a harmless joke at each other's expense, we're equally difficult to take seriously on anything that follows :D I don't think I played in the absolute first..... half year(?) of the game's life, but ever since then it was the...
