      In Developement Advanced Fleet Commands

      With fleets just around the corner I would like to suggest a couple commands that would help the AI make better decisions during battles. If you have any other suggestions please add them. 1) ABORT BEFORE BATTLE - An adjustable percentage that the AI uses to decide whether or not to attack...

      Read by Council Destruction of damaged undocked entities

      I was testing out some fighter designs that contained several moving parts like folding wings, landing gear etc. I hit a wing rail docker and the wing shook around for a while trying to break loose. It caused moderate lag on my computer and didn't stop until I hit it a bunch more times...

      Jump Inhibitor questions

      1) Will jump inhibitors stop a ship traveling through the sector that has already made the jump? 2) I built a jump inhibitor on my station but can't figure out how to turn it on. Will it currently work on stations? 3) When I turn on the inhibitor it drains my jump charge also. Is there...

      Building Gatling Cannon, need help

      I am trying to build a 4 barreled rotating cannon (like a Gatling Cannon). I only want each barrel to fire when it is in the top dead center position. I tried adding an area trigger to the back of each rotating barrel with a post on the non rotating base. When the barrel spun around and...

      All ship systems require a controlling computer

      I would like to see ALL systems (including power and shields) require a controller computer. This would: 1) Introduce a point of weakness in the system that can be targeted. (Like how a weapon currently goes down when the computer is destroyed) 2) Allow configurability of the system. You...

      Pirate Stations Everywhere! (AKA Steep learning curve)

      So I started a brand new single player server today to see what new STEAM players would find and I ran into a couple problems/concerns. 1) I explored 10 different stations near spawn looking for a place to put a faction module and out of the 10 stations 8 were Pirate (Prate) Stations. That...

      Time for Tricorders

      Now that gathering blocks through mining has become very important I think it is time we had a "meta-item" tricorder that can be purchased at shops. The tricorder can scan a whole planet, planet face, or asteroid and tell us its composition. EXAMPLE: Scanning asteroid 951 composition...

      Minecraft in Space?

      Is that a compliment or a put-down? I honestly hope Starmade is not Minecraft in Space. Minecraft became popular since it was really one of the first voxel games. I think minecraft was fun for a while, but once you have built twenty castles and dug numerous mineshafts it becomes boring. Only...

      Prebuilt ships included in game

      With the game about to be introduced on Steam I really think some prebuilt ships for beginners should be included. When I started playing I had no idea how to build a decent ship (my ships are still ugly compared to a lot of ones I have seen). I know we can buy an Isanth, but you really don't...

      Fog of War (and stellar information)

      How about an option to start a new server with FOG of WAR enabled. I really would like only the stuff I have actually found to appear on the galactic map. (How the shops are now) This way I have an incentive to go fly to the distant planet or star to fill my map with info. Along with this I...

      Missing chunks around docking or turret modules

      About 10% to 20% of the time when I start my game I find sections of my station missing. They always are missing around the area where a turret or docking module are located. If I fly far away from my base then return the pieces have returned, or some other piece is missing. It usually...

      Radar jamming on a base?

      I haven't tried it but does the radar jammer or cloaking device work on a station? I would love to have a secret base that could "disappear".

      Carved mineral crafting exploit?

      I harvested a Sugil asteroid and turned the Sugil into capsules. For each Sugil block I received 30 Sugil capsules from the capsule refinery. I then turned those 30 capsules into a Carved Sugil block. I then sold the carved Sugil for 90 credits each. Basically I turned a 3 credit Sugil block...

      Jump Suppressor/inhibitor/jammer

      The other day I was working around my station when an enemy vessel jumped right into the immediate area around my base and killed me before I could get inside my station. I would like to have a block that could be added to a station or ship that suppressed the ability to jump. That way if...

      Making large ship combat more skill based and less brute force

      The other day my son and I were battling 1 vs 1 with medium sized ships. The battle was pretty much just trying to be the first to reduce the others shields to zero. Once my sons shields were down I hit him with a missile that pretty much ended the fight. I think battles between large ships...
