Gone for two years, will be back September/October of 2016, cya then!

I'll just leave this here... As of the aug 27th dev build (also, if you aren't following the FTL discussion thread, jump drives are now functional)

Since I started this conversation, I'd just like to say that I know it's a dev build, but without any sort of discussion over the numbers until release, it may be thought by Schema and his pals that we're all content with how it is, which is not the case. The main problem comes in with ships...

After testing the jump drive, I can add to what's been said that more modules takes less time to charge up, and there is a minimum and if you are below that you cannot use the system. Also the range is 7 sectors, the exact distance changes depending on sector size (default sector size lets you...

Sadly no, I tried and you can't go through them as an astronaut, but if you rigged up a core with anti-grav then sure ;)

I just noticed what's wrong: The link from the main starmade build site and google leads to http://files.star-made.org/dev which does not exist, however the link from http://files.star-made.org/build/ (the difference being the ending slash) will lead to http://files.star-made.org/build/dev/...

Since Tom gave these links in stream chat and one is on his twitter, I assume they're open for public distribution... http://www.gfycat.com/CoolImmaterialHuman http://gfycat.com/DrearyWelldocumentedFieldspaniel

The dev build can be accessed here: http://files.star-made.org/build/dev/ For those having the 404 error, I really have no clue as to what causes it. I have access to 2 laptops and both get the error but my main comp does not. Did anyone actually read this thread...

Of course you could do that, but the problem is that you would have to do that with extreme precision, and have a detailed foreknowledge of exactly where everything is in a sector that could be multiple starsystems away. For example one, you'd have to know where the enemy ship is, where every...

Actually, capital ships unable to move would be an extreme nuisance. Imagine warping in with the fleet to a huge firefight, but alas, what's between you and the enemy capital you planned on taking down with your weapons? A planet. And in order to move the 100m to the side to see around it, you...

I agree. I mean, take a look at Minecraft, which this was inspired by. Even with an enormous community and undoubtedly an innumerable number of people who would qualify as "testers," they release pre-releases and snapshots so people can have fun with those and find bugs. No doubt there are...

I only saw that hours after I made this (if you look at the dates, it was inactive for 2 weeks before my post). I did a search before making the thread, and nothing came up (except nebula-class ships, really). Besides, that post is fairly vague about it and isn't exactly what I was thinking and...

I've heard some talk of nebulae, but I was never quite happy with people's suggestions so here's my idea of what they should be and what they should do: The Nebulaic Sector When sectors generate, they should have a chance (say 1/100, configurable) to be a nebula (there could be sector clusters...

*sigh* https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111223112732AAZJ1Fx Electricity will not naturally flow through a vacuum, as it is a perfect insulator. HOWEVER, electrons can be separated from their parent materials and will move around in a vacuum as a particle, and it is certainly...
