No offence aceface, but these minerals have already been discovered, I realise where you are coming from, but its a bit TOO realistic, and even though realism is good in small amounts, we don't want this game to become too realistic, I mean it is a space game where you can build massive ships have dodecahedron planets and anti matter cannons!!!
This is the best part of names in your post @blurp357.
no those aren't mine, I was just making a point that none of the names are easy to memorise
thinking of a list of crystals soon, all ending in -ite as mentioned. alot of good names have been thrown out thus far. The idea occurred to me to name ores and crystals after various existing elements in the Starmade universe. This way, there's little confusion about where they might come from, and are easier to pronounce. It also creates the game's own periodic table, somewhat. Just my opinion, but I'm throwing it out there.
Well, you named yourself AND the ore after Luna, not the ore after yourself. So egotistical isn't exactly the right word. I had already suggested the use of "luna" in the inspiration of blue colors. I do like blue/moon symbolism. I think white/moon symbolism doesn't quite fit... I don't think of the moon as the brightest of all. The light "from" the moon is merely a reflection of sunlight, which, on that note, it would make some sense in regards to physics to refer to white as reflective and black as absorbing.
Hey now, blue is the color all my ships are rockin', all of which have a nautical theme, all flying a banner of blue with a white symbol. Blue is the representative of my StarMade identity. My original Omni avatar was almost entirely blue, making a distinctive blue icon when scrolling through comments. I'm the King of Atlantis, the Blue King. If blue were to be named after someone, I'd think it'd be me. :D That being said, I generally don't think it's a good idea to be naming any ore or crystal after a person or faction, not even a member of the dev team.don't care bout much but I love Miratite for Purple, and if it's not too much, Raibenite for blue would be cool

But yeah. Get your own color.
Reaslism isn't that bad, it just makes it easier to relate in real life.No offence aceface, but these minerals have already been discovered, I realise where you are coming from, but its a bit TOO realistic, and even though realism is good in small amounts, we don't want this game to become too realistic, I mean it is a space game where you can build massive ships have dodecahedron planets and anti matter cannons!!!
anyway, just my opinion.
like if u agree.
Feel free to take yellow. Nice color, but not one I feel particularly attached to. Go forth and become Lord of the Yellow. (And yeah, I knew you were joking, just as my response was intentionally over-the-top and silly.)I always thought my color would be yellow personally, but Dalmont said it should be blue because of some on server stuff, that being said, it was more a joke. Still, Miratite actually is not an actual person or based on a proper person, So yeah, my vote is still purple=Miratite and I already have my own color :p.
Random afterthought Omni, I might have some interesting stuff for you on your creature quest
Inspiration can come in handy if I reach a block. Like writer's block but... what do you call that, nature block? God block? Mad scientist's block?To a point, I agree with you, while on the other hand, there is intentional deviation from direct realism in StarMade for the sake of fun, clarity and unique identity. Don't want people confusing our ores/crystals with their real life counterparts, as ours will not work the same way. Giving real names to minerals that do not behave as people will expect will cause a lot more confusion and difficulty relating it to reality than it would allow people to relate more easily.
There is no such thing as "Active Aluminium" they were just random names with real life things to spice it up.Feel free to take yellow. Nice color, but not one I feel particularly attached to.

As for creature stuff, you know where to send it.

Also, I might have given a Like to blurb357's post if he hadn't put "like if u agree." at the bottom. If I agree, I'll give a like. I don't agree with asking people to give you likes, excluding rare occasions. (Such as extremely extensive posts from a polite person that show an incredible amount of effort and research was put into their response, so they probably deserve a like, and only if they ask modestly.) Therefore I do not agree with the end of blurb's post, so I will not like it. Seriously, people. Don't solicit likes.
how about that omni I removed the like if you agree, i just put that there to see if people agree with me.Feel free to take yellow. Nice color, but not one I feel particularly attached to.
