    Yes, I know that much but it's just illogical to me that in real life and in the game it's called a "Black" light when it's not.
    Or maybe it's me being stupid and weird o_O
    never underestimate the english language's ability to produce cognitive dissonance.

    I really love all the work you have done.

    While the topic of hull color is up, I would like to bring up a black sheep, or I should say green sheep.
    I just really don't like the color of basic green hull, it just seems so out of place compared to everything else. I don't think it need to look like the other greens, but I do think it needs to change.
    I too find basic hull green a little too drab compared to the other hulls, blue as well. Now that we have to choose our hull type carefully because of the weight difference I find myself using standard blue/green armor when I want to use basic blue/green hull simply because of they have the better color.

    I dunno, I like to use standard hull as floor tiles, the current shade of green seems kinda fitting... :D Err, not that floor tile usage means it's a bad texture. kupu 's da best! ;)

    Hmm. Colours are something i let sit in the game for a while then slowly adjust based off feedback. So thanks for the input.
    Green + Blue could perhaps get a slight colour changein the future.

    There are two main sticking points here though...
    1) colours are incredible subjective for each player and their builds/ themes. What some hate, others love.

    2) We have a relatively limited palette. I have added alternate colours to the basic hull to help increase the pool of colour tones. Unfortunately this has a trade off. If you don't like them, you have to upgrade the hull to get the right colour...

    You could always PM me colour samples btw. Never hurts to have a larger pool of opinions on such things.


    Taking a ride in the last post, i think is time to some teaser
    yes! Sensei Kupu,tease us :D
    There is a estimated release for the end of next week. As such i will have *something* to show you all within a couple of days.
    :)

    Oh, there is at least one surprise i have in store for you all.

    One thing I dislike a bit is how the black lights and such are purple.
    On another note, Yes, tease us!
    Black lights will always be dark purple / blue light emission. Otherwise it would just be shadow... ? ^^'

    IMHO, let us consider chewing what we have already bitten off: starmade devs have bigger problems than a butter shortage, and I would prefer to see things that aren't working made to work than to constantly be hungering for more and more and more and more.
    A fair point.
    Lets be honest with ourselves, everyone. Vanilla SM will probably not have 16+ different hull colours anytime soon. Server side packs really are you're best bet here.

    Lol. ^^

    noo! I use blue hull as bathroom tiles and they look great D:
    Who says it won't still look good as floor tile? I use blue basic hull as my shower stalls and that's pretty much it because I don't like how dull it is compared to the brightness of other textures.

    I'll play around in PS when I get a chance to see what I can come up with if I tweak some of the levels.

    Awesome job with the new textures kupu , keep up the good work! I have one recommendation though, to make the decorative fan look like it's spinning even faster you could have every other blade look a little different to give players an idea of the speed they are spinning.

    That's not possible. Each blade needs to be the same to maintain the illusion. There are only 4 frames, but it looks like 16 because they all look the same. If they was all different, they would look like they get a quarter of the way around and then snap back to the original point.

    I'm sorry for this kupu, but it appears jump drive textures are broke...



    2 of the frames don't have any lit up bits
