      Colo's projects

      Phenomenal build! The head reminds of a xenomorph, which makes it even cooler than a lobster 😁 The purple accents go so well with the orange and beige, never seen that combo. (Or is that blue? It ought to be purple.)

      Recent release branch update: Purple forcefields - cool! Screenshots folder - keeps things tidy. Ability to empty build hotbar slots - broken. Redo remove - still unfixed. Wooden plank wedge orientations - please! :D

      Colo's projects

      Instantly became a fan of your Lobsterstrange Racer, such a cool, unique ship! Did some work on it, maybe you'll like to see. Blueprint attached to this post. I was surprised how much interior you managed to fit into such a hull with many thin parts. Wanted to have a challenge to see how I...

      ComCardinal's Community Convoy Escort Contest - Spring 2025

      The price limit is absolutely reasonable... There probably aren't many escorts who charge more than 15,000,000. (Apologies :D)

      Community build contest: VIP shuttle/ small yacht (Concluded)

      That would be interesting (y) I recall Tshara making a few such "here's how this design could improve" videos, and they're fun!

      Community build contest: VIP shuttle/ small yacht (Concluded)

      Thank you very much for second place and the detailed review! :) I applaud you for giving such in-depth feedback for all contestants. This came as pleasantly ironic for me, cause I recently participated in a small literary contest (submitted a short sci-fi novel of mine to be scored on a...

      Community build contest: VIP shuttle/ small yacht (Concluded)

      Download page: Gold Vein Yacht Thought I would skip this one and wait for a contest of anything other than yacht, but then found the inspiration for this :) Initially, I hated the fact that I just can't deviate from my usual way of building (it's nothing like what I envisioned, wanted it to...

      Gold Vein Yacht v1

      RAR file upload of the blueprints of the yacht above, plus its escape shuttle shown below. Its name is a reference to high monetary value (a geological vein of gold ore) as well as a play on the word "vain" (vanity or self-importance being a common character flaw of yacht owners, probably)...

      SAME EPIC LOOK, BUT A DIFFERENT BEAST: Watatsumi battlecruiser - DARK EDITION

      Watatsumi battlecruiser - DARK EDITION v1

      Major redesign of the legendary Watatsumi-class battlecruiser. The download includes a "shell" version (which features the same interior, same systemed turrets, plus a bare minimum of easily removable systems that provide thrust and shielding). CHANGES: totally resystemed, rigorously...

      Systems / Volume Breakdown. How to build systems 101.

      Came back to this guide to calculate the block requirements for a ship with almost exactly 1,000,000 blocks of available internal volume. I ended up copy-pasting the original post, and adjusting its numbers to fit the current game configs. Two configs have changed that significantly affect...

      Coolest StarMade thing I've experienced in a while

      Collisions that send your ship spinning wildly, they always make them look more solid and heavy.

      CYBERSPACE SHIPYARDS

      Not my best, not my worst: Donatello-class destroyer If someone would like to go over the hull, adding a layer of microdetails, I'd love to see that. Didn't bother with it in this project.

      Donatello-class destroyer v1

      HIGHLIGHTS: Bridge that can be retracted into the hull (doubles as an airlock) Three half-inset sphere turrets (9000 weapon blocks each) Four onboard missile systems (4500 each) Reverse thrusters Large diagonal cylinder hull elements that aren't docked entities Minimalist exterior...

      CYBERSPACE SHIPYARDS

      Thanks, glad you find it appealing :) I tend to reuse templates of my previous nozzles designs, which makes it easier to work out such layouts. If you look at the pictures below, all thrusters on this new ship came from that 2020 battlecruiser... compared to which it's nothing, of course, cause...
