      Power Overhaul Solution [?]

      Heat-Sink style system had already been suggested, but, the system implementation you suggested is rather lacking. With your proposed "Invisible Heatsink" blocks that are completely un-targetable would make it so that people will just place Reactors against the edge of their hulls (IE, At the...

      Minimade baby-sized server [WILL CLOSE ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2017]

      So if your script only works with Player-Made craft, this means that heavier recovered ships can be piloted for salvage for some time, so long as they arent brought to attention... or used as Cargo Mules... And its odd you chose to make weapons have such a short range: In an 8km sector, you...

      Interested in a baby-sized server ?

      I find it ironic the sect of people so viciously lashing out against the term "Forced Aesthetics", and not even acknowledging the simple manifestations of this "rule." Not everyone has time (nor patience) to build large, fully set up RP vessels with complete aesthetics and have top quality...

      Interested in a baby-sized server ?

      AKA, full hull and decoration, so simple geometric shapes with no extra fancy bits are going to be frowned. You know, the usual stuff that defines a "ship". Although, Miners... Miners, support ships, and starter ships being the exception to the rule due to limited resources... even though...

      Interested in a baby-sized server ?

      This is actually somewhat interesting, though I concurr with the 50k blocks/5k Mass consensus. However I am unsure how this config reacts with Docked Entities. Making a max sized ship then docking titan-class turrets to bypass the system... Wont be fun. Although with such small numbers of...

      Starmade Trigger Area

      Also remember that the Activation Gate exists as well. Will trigger on when an entity passes through it. Otherwise, if they are meant to be docked, just use "Wireless Rail Activation", press C on any rail type, and V onto a button or an Activation Module, and it wireless-ly links that rail to...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      How to fix chandelier ships: Implement break-away! Kappa. Sadly this breaks all the actually legit spaced/floating-type designs, and they have said before they are not going to do that However, What we can do is just ban people off servers that don't conform to building a proper ship (NYAAAH...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      So here's a question: I know it is a very common style to make really long dimensional ships that are sort of narrow, and a bit flat. Will the "reactor heat bounding box" reflect that by roughly maintaining volume, or will it just become null? I ask this because I build ships that are generally...

      Medium/large CCE-MBPi self-powering turret 1.0

      Foreword: This turret is kinda old, but still functions as intended. Full permission is granted for modifications, so long as credit is given. This particular turret was built to cater to 1 particular ship, however, some may prefer this older Aesthetic over several updated ones. Not quite...

      KDI Medium Passenger Shuttle MK1

      This was built during a Raiben 1 hour speedbuild, then modified thereafter to how it is below. Otherwise its just more fleet-building and padding out the amount of ships the NPC faction of mine will have access to. It was really tough fitting power into this thing due to the only space...

      StarMade v0.199.429 - Combined blocks, new blocks, optimizations and fixes

      I can tell you that Starmade does NOT want to become IndustialCraft 2.0 Mod for Minecraft levels of ridiculous, and with quite frankly USELESS Intermediaries for crafting. THATS what the Charged and basic circuits, and the different Motherboards came in from, this old manufacturing system. Being...

      StarMade v0.199.429 - Combined blocks, new blocks, optimizations and fixes

      However building from AtraUnam 's point above, the block menu will SAVE the wedges, tetra, and hepta state to all multi slots so this only needs to be done once. Even for doors, they get their slabs and wedges, as do hull when you add them to the menu This I can get over, frustrating to me is...

      Outcast Ships

      Those are the docked entities of various fleet vessels. There's a bug at the moment that fleeted ships when they enter/exit sectors drop some of their docked entities... its being fixed next update set at least afaik

      KDI Modular Outpost - Hanger MK2-2

      Foreword: THis is really for NPCs, I dont reccomend you use this station as like a faction home. It barely has factories in more of an RP aspect. Im really too lazy to type up a lot, but, first station wooo. *unimpressed confetti* anyway. Its protected by a few missile and cannon turrets...

      Buff Thrusters!

      Im not sure making the thrusters, with an non-linear decay curve, gain power from grouping like Power Capacitor's gain curve. There has to be some compromise. But yes, generally all thrust is centered on decorative engines. But you have to balance that out with RP builders who may have several...

      Feasibility of Ships built from Modular Parts: What is the Consensus on This?

      As atra commented above with her Ship Generator, Entirely modular vessels have really bad combat abilities and should be relegated to RP and fighting NPC. However. Certain "Modular" ships abuse certain powers gained by entities. they look like garbage but are stupidly efficient until you remove...

      Criss' Thread

      I tested with just 2, because I havent got a load of time dedicated to fixing other people's stuff and documenting it thoroughly. The part about the explosion interfering is nit-picky, just making you aware of it. It redeems itself a little later on when the shell is running out of damage, the...

      Criss' Thread

      I just tried saving a flying TG Frigate batra190 from its fleet, but the game doesnt let me. Had to create the blueprint directory, find the ship in the files, then overwrite the contents with the NPC blueprints set, which is odd. Also, there is an exposed computer block on the ship, next to...

      Criss' Thread

      With the general way you've constructed the ships I dont think there is a way for them to be really too powerful for their weight. On ships that dont use Alpha having a large power capacity can waste a bit of valuable space, but overall I remember the TG Frigate has like 1 MILLION power regen...
