IT'S TIME TO STOP AND THINK I mean, really... really really reeeaaallllllyyy... just... STOP. Stop and think: What makes a good mechanic? This whole Systems 2.0 Update we can blame Schema for- but I honestly don't know who's really behind the wheel of these horrible ideas. Every devbuild one...

Thrusters are still TERRIBLY under powered. I did some testing, only when my 15k Mass frigate is completely 100% (One Hundred Percent) filled with thrusters with NO ROOM for any systems (weapon modules, shield rechargers+capacitors, jump drives, or interior) can I achieve 2.5 TMR That's 47K...

Something a bit of a tiny, insignificant problem, really. It's just a little hard for me to keep track of all 24 names of Asteroid, Ores, and Crystals. I'd suggest collapsing Ore and Crystal names into just 8 of the more memorable names, like this: Parseen (white) Nocx (black) Mattise (red)...

At some point, our dear, ugly friend, the paint capsule will be replaced with a 3D model. while I'd love for this to be fantastic news, the truth is it sadly isn't. Capsules are being REMOVED in favor of what is essentially colored pipes, with the EXACT SAME SHAPE. Shape... Shape is a hundred...

A new mechanic: Heat. Heat is intended to replace/introduce a new way to handle efficiency loss of large and multiple systems. Heat Generation: Like Reactors, Systems and Weapons generate Heat. Rapid Fire weapons produce large amounts of heat, while alpha weapons are much more heat efficient...

With the new texture pack coming in a few weeks, and the last decorative blocks being added waaay back in june, I think it would be the perfect time to add some new hull colors with it's release! Some of us builders are starving for new materials :(

Build Blocks and Ship Cores should have an entity for the Build Mode camera to add Immersion to the game and more importantly, a way to counter Spying. These Cams would have a limited health pool, appear on Nav, be targetable by Turrets, and pass through friendly objects (but not enemy or...

Currently, cloaking and jamming computers rely purely on a mass = power consumption system, which I find very unintuitive and niche to use, not to mention different from the computer and module based system we see for everything else in the game. This MUST change so that a meta can properly...

A new jungle planet type adding LoD Bamboo, Ferns, and Lillypads (and ponds for them to generate on) for interior decorating and gardens. Not to forget large jungle trees! The bamboo would probably have to be two blocks, one leafless and one leafy. It can be added whenever planets get looked...

Over the past years we've seen the lighting engine change and evolve, and boy has it improved for the better, as our dear friend the Corner block can attest. However... Starmade still lacks one fundamental feature... and that is varying brightness of lights, an important aspect that vastly...

Hey all. After many sleepless nights and hair-loss inducing stress and crying in a corner for 48 hours, I bring you a new suggestion. Currently, Starmade's block editor actively discourages and punishes anyone from attempting to use it's evilly convoluted, twisted, godforsaken system. I think...

Ever since the thrust mechanics change, thrusters have been quite lacking... consuming absolutely massive amounts of power while providing little thrust, add to that rapidly diminishing returns. Even the smallest of fighters requiring an absurd amount of thrusters just to get 100% effect (2.5...

Was just hanging around in the SMD Chat when someone mentioned using thrusters for stovetops. Pretty much everyone knows that- but that got me thinking: what blocks of the game do YOU use for what things? I'll start by listing some off that I use. Thruster: Stove top/burner. Blue paint...

A command to set the Roll, Pitch, and Yaw of an entity. Useful for stations and other objects which can't be rotated on their own, or where one would want precision rotation. E.G. /entity_rotate -90 32.044 360

It's simple. A bolean command to toggle planet gravity on a selected entity. E.G. /entity_set_planetgravity true/fase

Let's face it: Warheads are pretty garbage... but this thread isn't about Warheads' damage, nor is damage why these things are complete trash. But Mr. Exozen, you ask: "Then why are they sooo bad?" Wellllll... it's because they're simply too volatile to be of any use without being coated in a...

As the title says, make it so Activation Modules, when slaved to a Computer (or vice versa? I forgot) allow it to be toggled between active and inactive. What this changes: When when linked to a computer and turned on, Activation modules no longer make a single instant pulse to the computer...

Legend speaks of a Scroll (thread), that once contained the absolute knowledge of custom blocks; from forging them (creating custom blocks) to employing their uses (block config). But many ages ago, a great and powerful warlord sought to use the Scroll for evil; catching wind of his plans, the...
