    Some of these ideas may have already been said, so just ignore those?



    Switch: A block that allows you to toggle any lights or doors connected to it

    Flashing lights: Lights that blink on and off every few seconds

    More decorative blocks: blocks such as vents, tables, chairs, cabinets (storage), beds, colored building blocks. These should get its own section in the shop?

    Weapons: lasers, cannons, impulse ray emitter, flame thrower.

    More shop types: Maybe instead of having one master shop, have 3 or 4 different types of shops that only sell curtain things.

    Trading block: A block that allows users to place items (like a storage block) and when users come up to it, it acts like a shop and allows users to buy your stuff and you get the money. Make them so they are sold at full price, and when you sell things to a shop, you only get about 75% of its worth.

    Clans: Make it so you can see all the members of your clan on the navigation, no matter how far, make it a permission or something so only higher ranked members can see, so that low ranks can't just see everyone. Or not, its up to you. Make it so you have clan options as an owner, such as friendly fire, and if true, and someone kills another clan member, all high ranks are notified of this action.

    Warp drive: been said many times. You know what it is.

    More types of thrusters, some for better handling/turning some for better speed, some for taking off on planets.

    Select computers: When I go into a fight, some of my weapons will get damaged, and to replace them the computer has to be selected, or I have to select them then the cannons. Sometimes in a few of my ships the computers are stuck somewhere in the middle of the ship and its hard to find them, please make it so when you are in build mode, you can select the computers connected to your ship via an GUI item on screen.

    Someone in your ship while flying: sometimes when I have someone in my ship and I am flying (speed doesn't seem to matter) even if they are in my gravity, they just teleport 1000+ meters away randomly. Please fix this.

    Control block: similar to a switch, but allows you to toggle anything connected to it from the core in flight mode by assigning it as a number.

    Lua support: please allow us to have computers that we can program with Lua, if you have ever played minecraft, and the ComputerCraft mod, having something like that in StarMade that can control the AI, and the ship and stuff would be absolutely amazing. This would take a long time to create, and I wouldn't expect this for a very long time, maybe even after the came has been launched as 1.0.

    Creative mode: self explanatory.

    Missions and things in single player mode: This is a cool idea that has been said a few times, but this would be fun, and keep the game going. Even if most of the missions where randomly generated from space stations and shops and things, or from random ships you may find.

    Core monitor block: Gives you advanced information about your ship, such as the information you see in build mode on the left side. I like numbers and lots of information on the screen, but some don't so it might be good to keep it to a minimal then allow us to place a block like this to give us more information, and even add things like core heat and stuff then add a coolant block or something and the more things we add to the ship, the more head generated at the core.

    Jet pack: Allows you to fly around planets, and faster in space. Requires power, can be charged from a charging station, another block idea that has a single inventory slot and draws power from the ship or something to charge things like a jet pack, or maybe body armor.

    Clan announcements: allows high ranks to make announcements to their clan members in game, once the announcement is made it is shown on the top right as a notification, then can be found in the clan tab.

    Server message: an option in the server config to set up a welcome message for its players, that can include server rules and things.

    Help command: gives you the commonly used commands.

    Those are most of my ideas. I hope you like them. Ill add more as I think of them.

    In the StarMade folder there is a file server-message.txt That allows you to edit the server message, so everyone will see it when they log-in to your server. Also I agree with alot of your ideas, as they sound fun.

    Also they should add the feature to name the Planets and already created Space Stations as that would be nice feature to add.

    I think it would be cool to have something a bit like a base core, so you can build bases on other planets.

    I am against shops selling curtains, my ship\'s windows are fabulous without such anyway. I also don\'t carectors - assuming they are actors who care - as the movie industry in Starmade is rather underdeveloped apparently.

    Now, more seriously (though really, people, at least do a basic check on your posts).

    Switches are nice, why not, though I\'d find ability to control lights and plexdoors through ship\'s console even more useful. I also sincerely lack at least a few basic decorational items - a seat, a table and a bed.

    I am against warp drive for the reasons I already stated in relevant thread and with diversity in weapons, thrusters etc - it really depends on practical factor. I\'d say that with weapons as we have them we\'re already set quite well, maybe some sort of continuous beam weaponry alike astrotech beam, but of combat application would be decent. As for thrusters - only one other kind I need, together with balance of the current one. Make almost whole \'propulsion power\' of the current ones go \'forward\' as it should be with thrusters, so ships won\'t easily strafe around and so on despite having just one lon thruster in one point of the ship. Then, adding second type of direcitonless - like currently - propulsion engines of very weak power, for the sake of smaller ships - that I could support.

    \'Missions and things\' will follow naturally, but first we need the world somewhat \'livened up\'. Suggestions were made in regards to that, even by yours truly, we only now need to wait.

    Jetpacks I am against. It\'s the ships that are to be a default way of traveling and they should stay that way. Different spacesuits/armors though, which would slightly affect speed among other stats (hp/defense, maybe oxygen levels if they\'ll ever be, immunities to certain climates on some planets) would be a welcomed addition.

    Control blocks would be a thing that would make drone carriers and escape pods far easier to comfortably add.

    People teleporting are a bug, still being worked upon. It\'s in great degree dependant upon the connection though.

    Rest of the points I am indifferent about.
