holographic ship stats and hologram

[bluefire412]

so i have been starmade for a week now and i`m still learning and vinding new things but i had this really interesting idee. you how in some space games/series there is this big holograpic map of the ship. that displays things like hull capacity schield capacity and ship hull breaches. as well as things like when a part of the ship is damaged or not working if cannons are online and a map of the ship from the out side. it would be awsome to have this in starmade nothing fancy just a small pixel for each block in difrent colors and a cople of arows pointing at holes and text hovering that explain the ships current statistics. i would also like a in game local voice chat and a way to have a friend list and make parties with them. as well as the ability to chance your caracters orientation in space. and a way to see if you are invisible/clocked

It would be awesome! maybe using an improved screen block or something completely new

would deffinatally be interesting but i think even a block saying the ships stats like shield and stuff would be good but holograms would be GREAT.

Yeah I support both showing stats and holograms, but for now it would be nice if there would a place that would show ships stats

Would be sooooo awesome!

Unfortunately, this isn\'t really doable at this point, perhaps it is after serious optimization but for right now this will fry everyone\'s GPU. The reason many sci-fi games have these holograms of ships is because they were able to make a very low poly model to use for it. Since all ships in starmade are player-made this can\'t really be done efficiently on the fly.

This would be cool, i just wish that the VOIP and Friends list would be an option.
Plus, i think that they should add different cannons to the game. Like a high power-consuming with low damage scattergun style cannon, and a low power-feeding healing laser, that functions slightly different from a tachnobeam.
