      What happened to Starmade?

      RHP Can be applied to non-reactor blocks in config as is (just as under SHP), the setting just doesn't yet take affect in game beyond reactor based blocks right now it'd work straight up better though yes

      What happened to Starmade?

      variety has always been good for pvp lol, the distinction in SM's case is super pointless in the first place

      CS: Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade

      ^ beams are working fine versus thick advanced armor from my testing, 40k/tick beam has no problems taking out 5+ thick layers of it was testing with beam-missile & beam-cannon though, possible it could be a beam-beam thing i suppose

      CS: Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade

      Liking building with the QF changes so far, can finally build both compact & strong again without having to expand a ship hull too much for good stability & power;weight. Inhibitor being 30% RC is a weird choice, they're often pretty critical to get a decisive combat outcome unless there's some...

      What have you done... (power system wtf)

      And so, in obstinance, most of the crew happily drowned I do wish they (schine) would have been less hasty with it, stood back and took more stock of their game & community instead of what really felt like a panic move as exploits & busted mechanics built up in the old gamestate, exploits and...

      How do you balance a cheater? With a ban hammer.

      Duke seriously, you see where the "toxic" generally comes from now though right? It's got nothing to do with how people build their ships or what configuration a bunch of blocks are in, and everything to do with how people interact and attempt to control others actions in a game that...

      What actually failed in Starmade - if you care to listen.

      not enough hoppy spawns :( fr tho, the games moved away somewhat from its engineering roots (build your strengths) to more rpgish (pick your buffs), which is a damn shame. It still has a lot going on the actual practical design end than its competitors for now imo so it's still very much got...

      How do you balance a cheater? With a ban hammer.

      ahh yes the old clearly defined "meta crap", where everyone can agree on what it is with but 2 words. Did someone unironically write that somewhere or was that img a joke that went over my head?

      Balancing with Mass is fundamentally flawed!

      You don't get these values unless from estimation or word of mouth, except in the case of a shared/stolen design. There's other metrics that could be used but there simply not useful if there completely obscured & up to guess work, compared to the easy guesstimate from nav. Armor is the most...

      Balancing with Mass is fundamentally flawed!

      mass i find most useful because it's the given metric on nav :u if Reactor size was given in the same way I'd probably find that more useful, but its not, and imo that's something you should have to scan for at the least. no time to try and figure out their regen or block count or whatnot when...

      How do you balance a cheater? With a ban hammer.

      You could say that about sizes too, and yet you have like 700ks on brierie & the gigantic homebases that involves, yeah there's a lot of things that cause lag in starmade. Which is why "being considerate" isn't exactly a science lol, regardless of platitudes people *will* be competetive in a...

      How do you balance a cheater? With a ban hammer.

      nobodies building specifically for lag lol okay probably not entirely true, but it's not the intention behind a "meta pvp build", the intention is combat ability, some of the methods in question cause the lag (methods revealed in the build in question, handy right?), just like a torpedo launcher...
