      No dead bodies in space please.

      OK this is just a polite request. If we get crew and if ships get hulled in combat I don't really want to see a swarm of bodies wiggling as they struggle for breath in the cold vacuum of space. It's something that would make me avoid all combat. So just saying if you could not do that please...

      Hazardous mining and things to fight over

      So I was thinking about what sort of space would be worth having or traveling to over another region of space. Lagrange points: Some systems will have one ore more of these sectors. Because of gravitational stability they are unusually smooth areas of spacetime topology, making jump drives...

      The Power Overhaul has to happen ASAP

      First I would like to say how much I love this game. With that out of the way I'm going to get right to it: This update needs to happen as soon as possible, as fast as possible and as complete as possible. SM is unique. There are other space games but none with this amount of creativity. You...

      Lost [tab] + [f8] functionality

      Like it says in the title. Can't seem to use it after the update and after remapping thing to free both those keys up. Anyone else?

      Solid State Engineering

      Urchin class GCU (general contact unit) A new universe requires new ships. This is one of the new 3rd generation ships. It is used primarily as a pirate hunter and interceptor. A solid power supply, good compact weapons and an overdrive feature allow for long range patrol as well as light...

      Make the ship's lag box visible?

      So I was playing around this morning at my station with my new ship in adv build mode. That's when I noticed it. The bounding box made by setting 3 planes of symmetry is also the "lagbox" boundary that some players have noticed when trying to dock bigger ships. As it is a box, it can be quite...

      Kraken class GCU (WIP)

      Hello all. This is the latest and greatest ship of mine to date and is an effective return to an model that was made obsolete by the missile update. It is also my first experiment with docked power supply modules so it's really a research ship as much as general contact unit (generally I avoid...

      Overheating pirate stations? Is this a feature?

      So a pirate station I took down recently overheated and then derezzed. I didn't know they could do that but the nav marker is still on the galactic map. Can we make the marker go away?

      Bulkier, uglier, deadlier: Gorgon Heavy

      So this is what happen after an update that renders all my power systems inadequate. During combat testing after the last patch I needed to simply the missile system as well as increase the armor contouring to take advantage of the new mechanics. While similar to the Madusa, the Gorgon has...

      New universe, new ships: Goblin, Madusa, Kobold and Kelpie

      Hello all again. The last update caused me to abandon my big offensive unit ship in light of the fact that it was too heavy and to underpowered. I had to fall back on a previous design and update weapons, systems, power and engines to survive in a universe with dangerous and custom pirates (I...

      Donuts FTW: Hoop ships don't get hit with missiles.

      OK I have to chime in here. I just tested this out and my missiles went right through the middle of a ring shaped target. The centre of mass being dead middle. This can be a good thing as I suppose you can't just rely on missiles any more but it will be exploited if not changed.

      I need a funnel

      I need a funnel. That is to say, I need a block that will pull item from any inventory above it downwards. We already have item transport without pipes and that's cool. All I need is a funnel-like block and I'll be happy. What I think is key is that the block should be able to pull from...

      Textures go all wrong - only in build mode

      Basically I'm trying to run this game on my old laptop as I'm away on holiday. Anyway it runs a bit like I would expect but it does run. The thing is after the last patch the textures all change to wood, dirt and brown armor BUT ONLY IN BUILD MODE. Outside of that everything is good but in...

      Solar Smelters

      I want to harness the power of the sun, but not for weaksauce power. No, I want mirror blocks around a smelting core that uses (game lore wise) reflected rays to heat asteroid ore and refine that stuff. This would process ore and minerals independent of any power blocks but totally dependent of...

      First real ship...sorry about the beak. (Updated)

      Hello all. this seemed like the place to show ships so here goes. I bought this game just before xmas and have been glued to it since. My pirates were originally disabled so I just fought stations for a while. Now I've got some pirate blueprints turned on so it's more interesting. Everything...
