The 14.9 Catalyst is broken somehow. I have read about that on a gamming news page, try to rollback to 14.4 (or 14.7 Beta as someone else did here on the forum)

I will not be reverting or going up to a broken ass beta driver for one game. As this dose not happen on any other game i play was simply letting pepole know of the games AMD iusse

For me it seems like the colors of the blocks aren't rendering. Everything just appears really dark grey or black, except the red thruster area. I can make out the general texture of the block, if I can manage to get some light source to reflect off of them, but that's about it.
14.9 drivers have been around long enough for them to have tested them before releasing the build. It's my guess that they likely don't bother testing on AMD systems at all, and instead pull the blame the drivers card to cover it up.
Now, if anyone has any actual useful hints on how to work around these issues, I'm sure there is more than one person around here that would enjoy and appreciate the help including myself.

I don't think there is any way to work around it besides using a different driver that SmilingDemon mentioned. I don't have a AMD gpu so I can't mess around with it myself although I read here about "enhancements" being used in 14.9 that could cause a problem, try turning them off in the catalyst control center if that is possible.
14.9 also seems to have a decent amount of issues with lighting, could be that causing problems with starmade for you.

It's possible some graphic option isn't working properly with those AMD drivers. I suggest messing around with them if you haven't already.

I actually managed to track it down to something none driver related. I was like, and the lord said, let their be light.
Mine proved to be an issue with Java, game runs fine on 14.9 drivers for me now. I ended up having to uninstall current 32bit java version. And then install the 64bit java offline installer. I'd also completely uninstalled the AMD drivers and reinstalled them. But, I kinda realized it kept throwing up Java errors etc. at 95% through loading. I'm using an HD7850 2GB version, with Phenom II x6 1090T cpu. Don't generally have many issues with games not running properly.
