      Space Shortle 2021-11-10

      Here´s a fun little project from last sunday morning. It´s a Space Shuttle, built to scale to the original. Well, almost. It´s a little stubbier. c: The tiny cargo bay doors cover a miniature USD, so you can dock to any ship or station, as long as the tailfin doesn´t get in the way. The...

      - POWER 3.0 - make Stabilizers great (again?)

      Actually I think I get it now. Also I just realized that I may have caused some confusion because I replied with the term "limiting by volume" which is actually similar but wrong, and is precisely what I didn´t want to happen. ( I had considered some other models that limited by volume, and...

      - POWER 3.0 - make Stabilizers great (again?)

      Look, I probably don´t get to answer your questions today since I´d like to take some time thinking about stuff, and I don´t have time right now. In the meantime, could you elaborate your second question? I am not sure if I understand them correctly. Are you asking about how armor placement is...

      - POWER 3.0 - make Stabilizers great (again?)

      Well crap, for you it would actually be difficult. I´d imagine it being less difficult than Power 2.0 though. Perhaps you haven´t quite wrapped your head around the whole concept, or maybe I´m just bad at explaining. (scratch the "maybe", I am.) So, let me try to get some stuff straight: For...

      - POWER 3.0 - make Stabilizers great (again?)

      Do you have any factual arguments to back those claims up? Why would a flying wing be worse under this system than the current one?

      - POWER 3.0 - make Stabilizers great (again?)

      1. Some. I have stuck to my singleplayer world after a while, but I had experienced both the 3x "Vertisticks" as someone called them, and the 6x pancakes, which I preferred. I also made a version 201.337 install in preparation of this post to refresh my memory and test some stuff. 2. nobody...

      - POWER 3.0 - make Stabilizers great (again?)

      So, where to start? I suppose I should start with the beginning of this whole calamity, that was Power 2.0. A system with good intentions, but also many flaws. I am not going to recount the many ways in which it was broken, and just state that it made many players hate Stabilizers and the...

      So there are still people playing Starmade...

      Starmade is a passion project for schema, and one that has existed for a really long time already.(if I remember correctly then work on Starmade started somewhere in the mid 2000s) I can imagine them struggling financially and being frustrated with the state of the game, but giving up? I have my...

      Honestly these hostile reactions are bound to happen when you change core game mechanics. It was the same with various Robocraft Changes or Crossout Patch 0.8, for example. Once People are mad, anything you tell or try to do for them just makes them even more mad. It´s an unfortunate reaility...

      Ok, I´ve done some research and found Latterouss Spaghetti Monster. Shift was broken for sure. But most of these exploits (correct me if I'm wrong) were the result of the ultra buggy Integrity and reactor HP systems, not the new reactors or stabilizers. Also, for the majority of the playerbase...

      Drakkart well I can crank out some purely cosmetic ships in the meantime, got some cool ideas too. I´ve just had that starmade itch for a while now and no other game can satiate it. Sending some love back!

      Something like that was bound to happen regardless though. People will always find a way to cheese the system, but with 2.0 the difference between tryhards and the average joe was way less severe than before or after.

      uhh no, really stabilizers were meant to free up space inside the ship so you could build combat effective vessels that weren´t just bricks filled to the brim with stuff. Honestly I thought 2.0 was fine in terms of complexity, but I can understand that new players may have struggled. I really...

      ... please define "the whole power system are messed up"? ... if ask me new power 2.0 system is "ok" (although i also enjoyed the old system 1.0*). Personally: I don't like the new arbitrary-system-mass from QF-Config, or the power-generation-per-block (100-default) leading to Gigantismus =...

      just gonna chime in here. Really should be starting to play again. altough I can´t really continue to work on my main ship as long as reactor stabilizers and the whole power system are messed up. guess I should work on some smaller stuff in the meantime.
