I just start with a stealth salvager. It's still easy to permacloak small ships. I start out with aprox 30 power blocks, cloaker, a 5 block salvage cannon with a regular canon slaved to it, plus two thrusters. Later I upgrade this to four thrusters and three 7 block salvage cannons which is...

When I started, planets were still round, flat discs and cubatoms were a thing. Also to be entirely honest with you, I don't think Starmade is ready for Steam yet.

I have an idea for a compromise that eliminates the problem of not being able to build an ENTIRE SHIP because you lack a few unimportant decorative blocks. The idea is to have two kinds of block in the blueprint - required blocks and option blocks. All system, weapon, shield and power blocks...

Really starting to take shape now. I\'m still not really planning specifically how things look, just building as I feel it should be.

Beginnings of the forward bridge: Outside from edge of island, big stairway up (the foundation is way too high to jump onto) Basic outline of island internals

Without using the docked ships that you shoot drain beams at trick? I've managed to squeeze out 1.6 million e/sec but it's just not enough in my opinion. Do I just start spamming power blocks now? I have 63 million in power tanks which will allow me to hold down the fire button for about 20...

I wouldn\'t mind some trains on my current project. o.o I know it\'s a problem on all large builds, but still, it\'s sick how long it takes to go anywhere inside a large ship. I\'m probably going to make small pods with docking sites to zip around with. You know it\'s a problem when you\'re in...

I\'m going to try to add some things like that. I\'m not sure if I\'ll pull it off well, maybe when the new angle blocks come out I\'ll have more options for that stuff.

I\'ve begun the framework for the island that the pagoda stands on. When it\'s done it will be weathered up and more natural looking, with gardens and trees on it. It\'s pretty big now. The island is actually extending under the space station in the pic to give you an idea.

This is actually wrong. If you\'re good at squeezing power out of reactors you can make a cloakable ship that can fight. You just have to understand how power works and get the most recharge you can out of every power block you place. My cloakable fighter can infinite cloak, infinite radar jam...

What exactly is the Kaoru Kimura? Well, it is a giant space pagoda. Here it is parked next to my station. The framework of the superstructure is complete, done freestyle and by hand with little planning. It is already armed to an extent as well. It doesn\'t have full power yet because it is...

Sneak peek at proper 'big' ship I've been working on, which will be a tribute to Kaoru Kimura, aka Betwixt & Between. This is only the core room. Stats? Multi millions is all I can say at this point.

What kind of pirate attack blows up awesome ships? -.- Anyway haha. Repair schematic might be nice. How does it update if the ship is customized since it was last blueprinted? I think the dynamic physics thing would probably be too laggy though. Big ships that don\'t have moving parts are...

I still do this some times. Just earlier I\'d made a small cargo carrier in the cargo bay of my ship to transfer stuff into and carry out of the ship. It was luckily just a core with a string of plex storage behind it so it could fit out the door, but it ended up sideways, so I had to fly it...

Yeah that\'s true. Still it could help, like the camo pattern I\'ve been putting on my own ships. Camo doesn\'t make you unseeable but I find it does funny things to the eyes when you don\'t expect it - I\'ve turned around quickly and not recognized my own ship as my ship before lol. Especially...
