      Looking back on one year of playing starmade (including screenshots)

      Tbh. that piece is bearing some truth after all. Personally I am only here to wait for a better weapons config and at least some gameplay. Stupid me maybe I am just too stupid to figure better things out to do with my time. On the other hand currently there is no alternative game that allows...

      I don't get Starmade anymore.

      this. if you want to play Starmade play it like building only game. I wrapped my head around it alot of times, its not possible to include any gameplay into it in the current state. I mean it could be possible if players were some swarm consciousness that decided to only trade against blocks...

      What happened to Starmade?

      Elite Dangerous players are like the Farming Simulator players of scifi games.

      Pirate Station Assault

      First two questions: yes, its efficient, and yes the pirate ships will keep attacking you after you took over the station with your own faction module. Last question: The defense turrets should belong to you, but they might not be able to fire anymore. Depends on the blueprint: If it uses an...

      Dyson Sphere Project

      Just for roleplay questions: I always thought dyson spheres have central gravity, dragging towards the center, as they are supposed to harvest the energy of a star. Thus they would take advantage of the stars gravity, instead of creating additional. I know that ringworld of the other hand have...

      Screenshots for official use

      I only have a 1680*1050 monitor, do you neccessarily need 1920px sizes? Or can I recrop my screenshots to 800x450 if I only want to offer screens for the Steam news? Or is it also possible that I upload 600x900 screenshots for the library?

      Sandbox Games: Is it better to leave out half finished game mechanics?

      Hrm I just wanna say that I didn't write this thread into suggestions, because it isn't. I just wanted to talk and think about the judgement of sandbox games in general. That its also 50% suggestion is just a sideeffect of it... I mean we have so many game mechanics, but when it comes to a fun...

      Sandbox Games: Is it better to leave out half finished game mechanics?

      Thinking about this game again... So we got for example trading: If the trading mechanics - credits transfer via shop module and credit transfer via command, trade requesting from NPCs and the NPC shops - weren't implemented. Would this be a better game? Wait a second before you answer: I...

      What happened to Starmade?

      I am just reading this thread with the thought of "what happend to Starmade so I, as gamer, know, what I will do or expect in the future." Not sure if bringing up too much past is helpful. The OP is obviously implying to talk about the past but keep in mind that we only look backwards to better...

      What happened to Starmade?

      The appeal of Starmade comes from the 1 block = 1 meter block scale. We have competitors but none with this small block scale. It allows for alot of creativity. Empyrion doesn't inspire me alot for comparission. As long as there is no functional Space blockbuilding game out there with rail...

      If an entity is docked to a station it can use factories, refineries, shipyards.

      If an entity is docked to a station it can use factories, refineries, shipyards - Simply put: Factories and refineries are not active if the ship is not docked to a station. If shipyards are not possible with the code, just factories and refineries. Two uses: 1. Privileges. Permission access...

      I don't get Starmade anymore.

      Okay budy thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I will just quote your stuff, and write what I think about your first few thoughts. I can't dive into your whole long text, because...I think just talking about your starting chapter will help you the most. I have always been struggling...

      Engineering for Roleplay - Brainstorming

      Part 2 Advanced Design and Layout Patterns for Multiplayer To start off, we look at how an example pvp faction would set up factories and storage commonly: Two or three fabricators of each type, and one big cargo connecting each of them. Newcommers don't get stations or factories access, and...

      Engineering for Roleplay - Brainstorming

      Hello my fellow Starmadians, I patched together some roleplay building ideas. - They are suggestions I don't use all of them myself. The very point of this thread is to share with you, about how I think building can happen. I try to impose some rules onto myself, to have a better gameplay...

      Storyline Based Design Competition

      please try to make not alot of entries that require parts of the predescending entries. You get less participants this way. In some cases its justified, like with the reactor prototype. But be carefull about it.
