With the upcoming universe update, scanners are going to be getting another bump (particularly in the long-range department). My thought is, what if ships could transmit scanner information to other ships? My idea is to incorporate this in the form of a chamber (in the Logistics category)...

Integrity has been getting a lot of complaints lately. Too many. So, in response to the current harsh integrity values, I have taken some time to explore more options for integrity values. I created an array of nine inorganic structures, later supplemented by an organic structure and a...

INTRODUCTION With the release of Power 2.0, most of the effect modules were disabled, making them fairly useless at this point. The current weapon slaving system has its own limitations, with only a few options for weapon customization. Once the new weapon update comes in, a lot of aspects...

After asking in a private chat, I have been told that there is a way for us to manually reconfigure integrity values. Depending on how you set up the values, you could even remove any effects they have from your game (should you want to play without them for the time being). My recommendation...

Integrity is great for preventing spaghetti systems from hurtling through space. What it isn't very helpful with is any attempt at using system blocks for decorative purposes, hence my proposal for the ability to "deactivate" system blocks, which would do the following: remove the block from...

Starmade memes In the linked thread above, DukeofRealms deleted a few posts yesterday that strayed off-topic. At first I thought the action was to be expected after seeing that it had been taken, but after reviewing the latest dev post, which states, "Additionally, we no longer delete most...

With the announcement of planned features and changes for the weapons update, I decided to revisit and rework a previous suggestion. This one is for a new weapon system that may play an interesting role in terms of gameplay. The Concept Current weapons work off of various methods of causing...

In my opinion, the most excruciating part of stabilizers is how far they need to be placed from the reactors. As things are now, as soon as the reactors gain a considerable amount of size, the stabilizers need to be placed kilometers away. I thought up a change that can solve this. For...

Introduction There's a lot being said about these new stabilizers, and something that nobody seems to want to agree on (as far as I can see) is how they work. There's a lot that many people don't know or don't understand about the new stabilizers. What I want to do is resolve this confusion...

Basically, fleets can only be given one command at a time. I want to see the ability for players to chain commands, telling fleets what to do next once one command is completed.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the new stabilizer connection beams. I've spoken with a few people in a fairly cool-headed environment and we have come up with a few ideas for improving the new beams. The Way Things Are Now The current connection beams' sizes are determined by the...

This requires some explanation. The way we have things now, if you want to sell a ship for money, you have to completely dismantle it manually and sell the individual parts that make it up. Instead of doing this, what I want is for the player to be able to sell ships in "as-is" condition...

The key to this is that the ship would still not take damage. Basically, a lot of people like to put defense systems in their ships. What happens is that sometimes those defense systems like to shoot at enemies outside the ship instead of inside the ship, with their beams, missiles, and...

What I mean is that Rail Rotators can only rotate 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, and 360 degrees at the current time. This is based solely off of the total number of active Activator Modules connected to the Rail Rotator. What I'm suggesting is the ability to make these rotations much more...

This is for convenience. Imagine you're going through logic building something and your device ends up not working. You go to correct the problem, but you forget what modules are connected to what. Instead of endlessly going through the hierarchy to see what block activates what other blocks...

The new Reactor Chambers are nice. They really come in handy and do a lot to balance a ship out (despite how annoying it is to keep yourself from maxing out the Power Reactor's capacity). Probably my biggest complaint with them is that you can't make them very compact and as a result wind up...

I'm upset that the devs removed their textures in the new update. Those were fantastic blocks that had a variety of decorative uses. In fact, they were my favorite decorative blocks in the game, especially in mechanical or dimly lit builds because of their colors and animations. I'm not...

I just got the new Pre-release version, and the new stabilizers suck (not to mention the fact that the devs removed my favorite blocks for decoration--capacitors and jump modules). I have an idea that would combat islands, dumbbells, and spaghettis. Instead of requiring stabilizers to be a...

I love the look of some of the shards and ores we currently have in Starmade, but I was upset to discover that none of them are placeable in-game. These would make fantastic decorative pieces in custom terrains or some bases. I recently tried incorporating them into a ship core setup, but had...

The Pipe decorative block is a nice finishing touch to add to some ships, but it only comes in one color. Wouldn't it be nice if we had pipes in colors other than black? Then we could go much more in-depth when we detail our ships with them, creating networks of pipes or even using pipes to...
