      Kupu's thread

      I think that with the new texture pack in the making, it might be a good time to ask for stone improvements. Not the awesome and colorful ones, the standard, basic grey stone. We have all these cool colors, but we also need more natural looking stones for landscaping (am i the only one to do...

      Kupu's thread

      Well with what just happened i feel compelled to complain nicely. eeew :eek: So i just got out of about a year of lack of time to play Starmade, the first thing i did was to try out the new stuff and i have a bunch of texture related remarks to do. I don't remember when the texture changed...

      More Multislots

      While building, i have around a small transport ship to stock the materials. And what quickly becomes annoying is the amount of storages you need to put evrything in. Multislots were an amazing idea to improve this, as they dramaticaly reduced he amount of space needed to store hulls. Yet there...

      Another take at the bubble shield stuff

      Could you tell wich version of the game? I've been around for at least 2 years now and they were like they currently are since then. I'd like to know how those shields were. If they were complex shapes of course it would have lagged like hell. The game engine, the rendering engine and shema's...

      Another take at the bubble shield stuff

      Well it's the only way i see to not have it be laggy. Of course, it can be changed to a low poly sphere if the game performance allows it, or improved over time as shema optimizes the game. But the box works well and calculating the optimal distance from the ship for gameplay is easier. For...

      Another take at the bubble shield stuff

      Well one of the objectives of this shield system is to move shields out of the turrets. Designing a small turret with any kind of serious shielding and weapons while still looking good is currently a huge pain. Removing the undershield for turrets would mean a single fighter can damage a capital...

      Another take at the bubble shield stuff

      Warning : Huge wall of text. I tried to pump enough air in the thing get it to a readable state, but it's still heavy. Before you say "screw this, i'll never read all that, and there's no way for bubble shields to not suck" as it seems to be the average reaction when seeing a wall of text...

      A different way to select the copy box in build mode

      A simple change to make thing easier when building ships : Let us select a part to copy in build mode by selecting 2 blocks in a diagonal of the box, instead of having to mess with the selection size until it fits the area to select and then (painfully) try to get the selection box on the part...

      How could I allocate more memory to Starmade?

      Well it wasn't in the starter but in the launcher (and i'm not sure the old one had it in). But anyway, i threw in 8Go (might be a bit overkill) instead of the standard 1 and it all works fine. Thanks. Also, now that i think about it, i can't believe i've been unable to play starmade for a...

      How could I allocate more memory to Starmade?

      For the last 2 months, i've not been able to play starmade, at first because of a crash on launch, and after a few updates, the game would actually launch but i get a "out of memory" message at 94% and, when in the game, none of the blocks render, making the game unplayable. I did not tried to...

      Dear Devs

      well while not having factories on ships is unrealistic, gameplay wise it makes not a lot of sense either. If a player/faction wants to have a planetary base or a station, he can make a factory. If they want to have a ship as their base, there's no reason to force them to have a planetary...

      Kupu's thread

      About the new hardened hull: the current hull has some slight hexagon detail on it, wich makes it fit well with the hexagon bits on a lot of the other blocks. I know most of those hexagons are about to be removed, and it is no longer relevant to have them on the hull, but i find it to look...

      Remove linear dampening

      How about no linear damping, but the possibility to turn on or off inertial dampeners (ship brakes) like in space engineers? and just have them turn on automaticlay if noone is piloting.

      Wedge Cockpit block!

      Just put your cockpit one block back, and add a galss wedge in front of it, and you're done. looks good, makes more sense than wedges versions of technicals blocks.

      full scrap

      It's in the game. 1- Select the ship 2- /destroy_entity_dock And it's gone. Ok, only admins can do it and you don't get the blocks back. but if you're building stuff with spawned in blocks in singleplayer, or if you're an admin and need to clear a mess, it's effective. And it works on...
