      What happened to Starmade?

      If our sole existence was the game's main problem, then why two years after our departure is the game still dead? The power update was something that almost nobody asked for. What are you trying to say? I never saw a Empyrion or a SE server populated with more than 60 players online at the...

      What happened to Starmade?

      I wake from my sleep to give my few cents. Funny, I did had a dream weeks ago where I was typing stuff in here. The game did not become full derelict because of a single thing, but rather a series of misjudgements and lack of luck that slowly put us on this situation. I'll enumerate it. 1)...

      My Semi Annual yawn.

      That is, IF there will be new players. Our genre is a niche, and you can be sure that the people who tried this game once and left right away (mostly the huge post-steam-release wave), will not be coming back.

      A Solution To Flying Spaghetti Monsters

      I think I worded it wrong. What I tried to say is, the difference between the old power efficiency between a common ship shape and a perfect cube is barely notable, comparing to the new power difference between common shapes and a japanese hentai tentacle monster.

      A Solution To Flying Spaghetti Monsters

      It is. Unless my memory is failing, a 4X 4Y 4Z line will supply almost the same as a 6X 3Y 3Z. The benefits of a cubic shape gets smaller the big the vessel is.

      A Solution To Flying Spaghetti Monsters

      Careful with those assumptions because this is misinformation. I can tell by experience that even the most mediocre players do use XYZ instead of simple lines, and reach close to perfection goals in power regen. You could argue about auxes thought, because not everyone knew the exploit to...

      A Solution To Flying Spaghetti Monsters

      It makes even more bizarre when you realize the old system didn't had the problem. Unless you wanted to do a ship with several fragmented parts like the Protoss Void Ray, having disconnected pieces of the ship, but that's it.

      Fixing Starmade's Continued Play Value.

      I would come back in no time if the Fleets' feature were improved, especially regarding the mining commands. This would reduce a lot the boring and tedious full days of grinding in order to be relevant in multiplayer. I don't understand why this hasn't been done yet. Fleet combat improvements...

      A Solution To Flying Spaghetti Monsters

      Ahhh, here we go again discussing complex methods to get rid of forced design choices with the power system.... Ahhhhhh..... Do you remember?

      Starmade interest through the years

      We had a unintentional hard cap in the past, with the credit holding limit. The blueprint update ruined that, and while everyone was cheering it up imagining it would kill gigantism, it only made things really worse. And I was there, warning in the thread. One month after this, we get Joel...

      My two cents on encouraging PvP conflict in a stagnant universe

      I've read some things here and I can't help but share a personal report... It is true that some people do shoot newbies and do spawncamp for the sake of it, but honestly, this kind of people are the one of the few reasons that I did have fun in game, especially in 2014 when I had a small faction...

      Starmade interest through the years

      Can we at least agree that despite the game being able to deal with titans, having them in combat is a massive and unpractical pain in the ass? Especially with those hundreds of PD's reacting to missile fire.

      Starmade interest through the years

      I'd say the blueprint update too, considering how all other places went to dust leaving only EE and RS with life back in time.
