      Way to make LUA computers in game without laggs

      Couldn't Lua computers be run by clients? I dont think that they would be something that would be terribly vulnerable to exploitation (If I understand correctly its just a much more sophisticated method to control the same things logic would, as well as a potential way to customize AI...

      Lights should light other entities

      It probably wouldn't be worth it performance wise if all lights could light all entities (making them all dynamic lights). I do agree that there should be something like a spot light though. If dynamic lights had their own block, it would be relatively simple to take some measures to reduce...

      Suggestion: (Space)shipyards, new group types, ship classification

      But a state of conflict within an organization isn't war either. Well you could perhaps make an argument for civil war, but that is hardly relevant in this case. And my apologies for getting on your case when English isn't your first language.

      Suggestion: (Space)shipyards, new group types, ship classification

      Given the entire and absolute lack of any other kinds of ships in StartMade (I have yet to see any boats, or water for that matter), there isn't any real need for the accuracy of the term spaceship. I also strongly disagree that it sounds better, either phonetically or practically. Also, good...

      StarMade Mandatory Ship Aesthetics

      TLDR: - OP's system is likely less creatively restrictive system than the current one, at most it is just restrictive in a different way. - Due to the incentive to have empty volume because of inter-system interference, we will now have much more room to put rails in our ships without impacting...

      Change to game systems scale.

      then your main gun is too big, is using secondaries/effects that have power multipliers, or you have too many groups hooked up to the same computer (iirc each group causes 10% increased power consumption for the whole system).

      [QOL] Entity docking

      It would be nice to have the ability to right/left click on a dock with a blueprint in your hotbar. causing that entity to be placed into the dock. Bonus points, if the blueprint would not be consumed, just the blocks needed to create the entity in question. Other than just making docking lots...

      I made a bunch of suggestion along these lines recently in this thread.

      Arithmetics and Logic

      How about, instead of adding a bunch of new logic blocks, we could write simple procedural code into a display block. Said code would parse the conditions of all of that display block's inputs and/or outputs and send a signal, or perhaps even code-configured pulses, depending on the results of...

      Weapons Panel Improvement

      It would be nice if you could put two weapons in the same slot, and have the first weapon bound to left click and the second bound to right click.

      Chunk loader / Sector loader

      Add a check for an entities power stability. If the entity is not stable with all it's factories running, do not process any of them. The same thing that happens normally in this situation should suffice. Iterate through and process each factory connected to the same storage system one at a...

      Gravity well generator (from Star Wars)

      perhaps instead of intercepting ships that are "jumping" through your sector, a GWG could instead "suck in" people jumping to nearby sectors. An example to clarify: You are in sector 0,0,0 and turn on a GWG. Another player tries to jump to a nearby sector: 5,5,5. His ship is caught by your GWG...

      Scanner Power Consumption

      Scientifically speaking it makes boatloads of sense. While cloaked you are trying to reduce any "signals" that your ship is emitting that could be used to locate it. The theory behind every active scanning system ever devised is to take something like light, or radio waves, blast it out in all...

      Expanding Missile Gameplay

      If they can be used in that way, I dont believe they would be effective. The duration and the size of the pulse are not really tuned in way that would make it easy, or even practical, to try to use them to "shoot" down missiles. Getting the timing right against Beam Missiles would be pretty hard...
