      JustGame - Plex | Now with 250 speed limit!

      Yeah, continued playing for a few hours yesterday. All the mega-voodoo-weirdness that was going on seems to have stopped. Good stuff.

      JustGame - Plex | Now with 250 speed limit!

      Tried the server out today. The 250 kph speed is nice, I'm all about speed! The custom Isanth ships are great, too. Great design aesthetics, and a fair fight for players in similar-mass star fighters. I love good dog fight. Didn't seem to be any perceivable lag, totally necessary for epic...

      I'd like everyone's opinion on this.

      OP, sounds like you're combining two items in one: Weapon convergence (All weapons firing at the cursor), and the free-floating cursor. Weapon convergence itself is just fine (in My opinion), it's weapon convergence on a free-floating cursor that's the problem. I say leave convergence as it is...

      Small ship design discussion and showcase

      This thread is a must. There's a little to much focus on freaky-huge ships in this game, and a lot of folks are missing out on how much fun small craft can be. I pretty much only build small fighters. I'm working on resurrecting My old ship thread from the old forums and updating it with all of...

      How should starmade generate thrust?

      As it used to be was best ( I think). Under the old system, you had a trade-off. Want big speed/thrust? Then You're going to have to have a large, bulky, heavy, power-hungry thruster to do it. And said thruster's dimensions ate up so much room, that You were forced to cut back on other things...

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      @TheSavageOne: Please re-read what I had typed. I have no problem altering My ships. The problem, as I\'ll say again is: After the patch there was a massive, undocumented change that radically altered how ships work and rendered the game mostly unplayable if left unadjusted. Seeing as this was...

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      sad Soooooooooooooo. A patch comes out, and I find My ships thrust acting radically different. So different, that most of My ships are unplayable. I re-check the changelog for said patch, and see that there is ZERO mention of any changes being done to thruster behavior. In fact, according to...

      No-Name Dedicated Host, 250 speed,PvP, 24\7

      Hello, just a friendly tidbit about zero-drag: AI-controlled ships are not programmed to actively brake to slow themselves down, nor are they programmed to make any attempt at regulating their speed. Instead, they rely on drag to slow them down. A server I play on tried the zero-drag and...

      Crusades musical oddities!

      These tracks are flippin great! This is just the sort of thing I like listening to while I\'m in game (and out of game, too). I\'ve found that EDM, electronica, Synthpop, and Italo Disco go great with Starmade. ....Also a tad jealous, as whenever I sit down at My synth rack, I can never really...

      100k top speed?!? Dude, please tell Me that\'s a typo. I end up out of the loop for a bit and you cut the server\'s top sped by 2/3 ?! You do realize that pretty much invalidates small fast ships that rely on speed to stay alive, right? At 100 top speed, you\'re pretty much forcing players to...

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      Soooooooooo..... Is this confirmed as a bug, or working as intended? I really would like to know. I wasn\'t kidding when I said most of My ships were unusable due to this. If this is a bug, then I \'ll just play with what I\'ve got and wait for a hotfix. If it\'s NOT a bug, then I need to know...

      missing bump maps in .14

      I can confirm this. This happened to Me as well (I just sort of forgot to make a post about it). I\'ve got simular specs: CPU: I5 2500k @3.3 Ghz GPU: EVGA Nvidia gtx-560 RAM: 16 Gb OS: Windows 7 pro ultimate x64 So it ain\'t just you, OP.

      Shadows and background

      What Greenfire said. I\'ve wasted more time since this patch rolled out trying to re-balance lighting. I went through every render setting I could: Bump mapping on/off, AA off/2/4/8, every texture pack at every bit depth, etc. And the only thing that gets lighting even remotely close to usable...

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      Well, I / We still don\'t know if this is working as intended or a bug, so this a conversation I\'d rather see in a separate thread, but if this is considered working as intended, I don\'t think I like it much. Again, this should be discussed elsewhere, and after we establish weather this is as...

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      @AndyP: All of My blueprints are from before this latest patch (0.14), I\'ve never uploaded a bluepirnt before, what\'s the best way to do it? Do I e-mail them, or get a file locker service like megas or something? I can send you My two most obvious cases; 1st: My 4000 mass light carrier...

      Thrust multiplier way, WAY, WAAAAAYYYY off.

      Hello. As of V0.14, the thrust multiplier ( the more thrusters touching and forming a single, larger thruster, the greater the thrust bonus granted) is far higher then it was. I hopped in My light carrier after the patch, which was already unbalanced as hell to begin with speed-wise, hit [W]...

      Jesus buttcheeks, Blackhawk! Worst. P.R., EVAR. You don\'t just type \"bump\" and a few periods. That\'s just begging the wrath of the mods! No, You have to give something in a bump. One method is to start a weak conversation in the thread to be bumped, maybe nitpick something in it. Make a...

      What is the best faction for individualistic pilots?

      OP, just start your own faction and play solo, that\'s what I do. As you spend time on a server, you get to know the other factions and players, and eventually start playing along side them. Just because you\'re not in the same faction doesn\'t mean you can\'t join up and do some pewpew...

      Looking for a Faction & Server

      http://star-made.org/content/hunters-starmade-server-new 300 kph top speed! Hunter\'s server. Hands-down the smoothest running server out there. NASS, Illusive, Orion, Windoom, none of them run this well. It\'s nearly as smooth and stable as playing single player. There are always players on...

      Hunters Starmade Server - New

      Praise Bob! Now I won\'t get ultra-buttramed by AI pirates whenever I stop for a second! Low-friction was a neat idea, but the AI can\'t handle it yet.
