I vaguely remember a thread like this on the old forums, pre-weapons update, so, at least an argument could be made at that time. IIRC, the answer was still a resounding no.

harem is haraam

Time for the weekly HI thread purge.

Beta may be for bug fixes and optimizations, but to allow the game to be buggy and at worst unplayable while attempting to service a community is not good for the game, its development, or community

(Tune) THE CURRENT RELEASE STATE OF THE GAME ACCORDING TO THE HUMBLE PLAYER To Starmade I came seeking good game, But they're bugging the game til' its dead, The Schine Team has it sooo easy, Schema's putting features in his game! The people of SM are hungry, But if, what a feast there could...

Be grateful citizen! For you, Helkan builds a highway amongst the Stars!

I've been working on automated carrier launch systems. Half of it is logic, which I haven't built. A basic system is feasible right now, though it would require a lot of human input. A proof of concept prototype is functional, as pictured. As previously stated the human input is huge, but...

Drones will be a true revolution, because numbers scale power exponentially. Titans, and supercapital ships could become almost uneconomical in the face of lighter carriers are the drones they would carry. You could argue that the introduction of drones would be akin to the introduction of...

This thread is for the discussion of PvP fleet design theories, including how you or your faction builds ships to counter other players, what weapons you use, what innovated systems created to do so. Essentially, this thread is like the Ultimate Drone RnD thread, but for fleets and design...

Perhaps as well you could add radar receivers, passive sensors that detect active radars, and identify them. The stronger the receiver array, the farther away you can detect an active radar, with some relation to the active radar's strength, of course. Also I feel the size of a ship should have...

The issue is that it would "reset" the exponential loss values, buffing the power of that system back up just for placing one block, while not truly fixing the whole system. Perhaps astrotechnobeams could be used to actually "fix" the system.

I've actually been a lurker since before the time of beetlebear. I've never cared to register an account or post until recently though.

I've been thinking about an alternative HP system, basically you grind a ship down until it becomes effectively useless. This idea revolves around an exponential loss in system effectiveness, assuming we define a "system" as the amount of energy gen or stores/shield gens or capacitors/weapon...

You realize there are technological restriction with mobile devices. The amount of ram and processing power Starmade needs is beyond what mobile phones, at least, can provide.
