I know that this was said before but with rails:

We really need something that will support creations like these to be useable in Starmade. It can be very cool.

why fight on a planet when you can cleanse it from space?

That how it looks currently but in future it may look differently. For example let's make atmosphere nullyfying most damage taken from space.

I honestly quite like this idea, it would allow a more interesting wars, however, for this to actually be a relevant thing to implement, we'll need to create a reason for using planets.

I believe planetary conquest will play a big part in StarMade. My only concern is the amount of lag that comes with it.

I think that a wheel update would come in handy with this.

Chances are whatever is added to allow friction )or travelling along a surface and not bounce people into) will require some changes to the designs you mentioned.

I would wait till after planets were optimized a bit more before worrying about on-planet things too much though. Some people still struggle with decently sized ones.

I fully support this. Any form of friction, even a rubber block would be awesome.
