      Been Gone A While, How the Heck Do I Learn

      I might start playing online again as well. Brierie seems like the most populated server. You might see me on there under the same username. I'm still figuring out a lot of the stuff in single-player, but I'd like to see what servers are up to these days as well.

      Been Gone A While, How the Heck Do I Learn

      I'm actually figuring it out pretty quickly, thanks to help here and on reddit. The GUI is TERRIBLY intimidating at first glance, but it is actually quite simple and the GUI helps you quite out a lot now in some ways. Some thoughts from a returning player who just got back into this. 1...

      Poltergeist Class Corvette V1

      Experimenting with the updates a bit, I've come to really see the beauty of the new power/shield/chamber systems. It is really quite incredible. Anyways, this is a result of chamber experimentation! Introducing the Poltergeist Class Corvette! Created after the great catastrophe in the damaged...

      V-19 Torrent 2020-05-11

      Been like 2 years since I made a ship here, but: Introducing the V-19 torrent from star wars the clone wars. The V-19 was a light starfighter used by the galactic republic in the first half of the Clone War. It was later replaced by the much more formidable ARC-170 starfighter, and the V-Wing...

      Been Gone A While, How the Heck Do I Learn

      Also, did the ugly purple power streams get removed? I don't see them anymore. I'm reactor streams are gone, I'm super happy. But does everything need to be connected by conduit now? (AKA reactors and stabilizers). I understand the chamber connection stuff in that regard now, at least.

      Been Gone A While, How the Heck Do I Learn

      Ok, thanks, that is very helpful in understanding chambers. Does this mean that you can have, say, 100 chambers max, in any one ship? Also, how the heck do shields work? It used to be very simple -- caps increased capacity, and rechargers made it regen faster. Now, it seems far more...

      Been Gone A While, How the Heck Do I Learn

      Been gone for a while, as the updates were breaking all my stuff. Seems most of the technical overhauls are done, and universe update is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly on the way. Anyways, how the heck do you build a ship, lol? Where can I learn? The wiki is completely...

      Why does flying still suck so bad?

      I understand what you are saying, and I agree there should always be options for servers. At the same time though, I strongly disagree with: I think that would be a very small majority of players. Most players start with a small fighter. Currently, the ONLY advantage a fighter has in starmade...

      Why does flying still suck so bad?

      No offense, but I am not a huge fan of the system you outlined, if I understand it correctly. I don’t think thrusters should take a serious amount of thought to design or use. After all, they are the only mandatory thing besides power for a new player, so both systems should be insanely simple...

      What the universe update needs most

      I agree for the most part. I hate to make this comparison, but MiNEcRaFT was basically built upon the back of a hunger and agriculture system. You HAD to do certain things in a certain amount of gametime, or you would die. I agree that starmade should be the same way. Give us a reason to HAVE to...

      Why does flying still suck so bad?

      Honestly, this seems like a pretty bizarre thing, that flying/maneuvering still hasn't changed. I understand that Starmade is aiming for a realism approach, and I understand physics well enough to know that the current flying system is fairly accurate scientifically speaking (in terms of mass...

      StarMade - PvP & PvE balance, Perspective & Direction

      HOLY CRAP the devs finally listened! This is a welcome surprise, I had nearly written this off as dead. Glad to hear the over complicated crap is about to go. The original issue was with death cubes and spaghetti monsters, and other boring META. Stabilizers fixed both those issues. Now we will...

      You guys appear to not have dropped off the map.

      Honestly can't tell if troll or not. You literally want to join starmade the day after its funeral basically. Read the forums a bit. Power 2.0 just gave this game terminal cancer basically, and there is a 5% chance that the chemo will work.

      Make Rail Rotators configurable in the same way as Rail Speed Controllers

      Absolutely agree with this, it would open up whole new realms of possibility. And breaking old rails is a small offense compared to how the entire fleet submission contest is going to get thrown right in the trash after power 2.0 lol

      Have I just fixed the power update?

      However, cannot servers and such simply do this on their own? After all, nobody is forced to play under the constraints of the default settings. I think if the update were released tomorrow, most servers would do exactly what I have done and the game would at least be playable and fun still...
