That's why i talked about Icosahedrons :) This way, we have planar shape when on planet, and chunks shouldn't be a problem on ground. It could be really nice to have flat planets when on the ground and still have an interactivity between space and ground.

Agree with catapult :D

Guys, I was wandering around the web, and found this Maybe dodecahedrons could be replaced by icosahedron? His explanations aren't so bad... maybe at a lower scale off course but that's a good start... I saw other voxel planets on google... may be that's a clue to find a solution ^^

Ahahahah! And imagine an entire float warping in xD BWAAAAAAAAAH ! xD

Just have to imagine an audio system hack and data-flow thrown to your inner ship speakers... happy? :D

You guys seems to forgot you can configure server and admins can too. I'm really interested with remote control for small ships like probes or drones. Even if "punks" can try to exploit this, remember they are somewhere... and as you said, the remote control should be limited to a system range...

No no spherical planets are out. We talk about Dodecahedrons. And a solution to have better ground experience :)

Indeed, we have blanks spaces between each plate on planar projections. But, if matching cubes are displayed when player is close these blanks, we should be able to have our planar projection. I wonder if we couldn't have something like warp zones, on edges, that show whats on other side. If...

Source plz? :)

Yup :D but we still need our block to call back our drone :)

By the way, remote control to activate drone's return is a good idea... 1 block to mark the Dock, 1 to mark the matching drone. On activation, the drone move close his dock and..... with the magnetic rail that's planed you're good :)

Or maybe warpzones on borders? like this? Borders are in light blue, and when players cross or look throught it, they see what's supposed to be there. Could seem strange from space viewing people walking on planet... but it could work. And for blank space, planet shape is like that, on...

Agree, transitions between plates are a really immersive problem.... I'm still looking for a solution on Planets! post... :( we will find something !

Tracker can be really nice for explorers too. You find a new location, you build a beacon with this tracker to allow mates to jump to your nav. coordinate :) And agree for block to do this and for weapon system to apply this!

40k's Titans style :) i loooove that :) May be we could add message inside :) with chat restrictions off course to avoid insult :)

Off course that's a good idea, but sphere are hard to map :) they tolds us soooo many times... so i'm not sure they will change our dodecahedron :( But i'm with you guys, to find a good solution to improve our planets :)

Maybe we have to accept "strange" things with our dodecahedron planets... like oceans on 2 faces, crossing an edge... It's ugly, but maybe normal in Starmade's universe ^^

that's an idea but i don't think they will huhu i posted an idea for better planet play without dodecahedron's edges... i'm not sure it's possible, but that's an idea. http://starmadedock.net/threads/planets.19934/page-3

Back here with a picture ! So, as mentioned before, i talked about planar projection when you are on planet. I mean, you cross the atmosphere, then you can explore planets, like in a famous voxel game. Flat landscapes, dig sites, lakes, etc. No more cliffs when you reach the border! From...
