      StarMade v0.19538 - New Thruster Mechanics

      It will add the thrust capacity. Only the ship you're controlling matters for directional and rotational thrust settings. Max speed will change too since it recalculates the ratio with the inherited thrust included. No, newly generated asteroids will be using the corrected chances (and they...

      Asteroid belts

      There has been a lot of confusion about asteroid spawn chances and how it just works in general. Now that we fixed an oversight, it's time that we provide some crucial information. Each asteroid type has its own assigned temperature. The biggest chance to find them, is in its temperature zone...

      You don't disagree with how uneven the resources are used, and that's good since that is what we're using to create diversity in resources...Instead of making certain asteroids more rare and alternating all recipes of the 700-800 ish blocks we have right now. Both ways would give the exact same...

      If everyone uses them, the person not using them is at a disadvantage. Not essential till everyone around you starts using them ;) and currently, they are still being used in large portions. They require a lot more resources per block too, even ships that are armor orientated require a large...

      Finding the asteroids is way easier now. But there's still a giant gap between the resources you need to build ships... The above is data I've gathered of 11 ships, big and small. On the left is the total blocks needed to craft those ships. You can obviously see what ores and shards are used...

      Thrust update is coming!+My observations [Dev Build 0.19525]

      How many sci-fi ships do you see doing 180's to brake? Isn't acceleration in elite dangerous the exact same for front and back? That sidewinder can't even de-accelerate well if you just look at the thrusters :X. Those tiny ones you show are aimed a little bit to the front. Not enough to cancel...

      A specific asteroid type has the best chance of spawning in its own orbital ring. For example, lava like asteroids only spawn near a star since it's hot there. It's still distributed unevenly. You're not going to find rammet & sertise near a star, and you're not going to find mattise & jisper...

      Took me a while to gather enough data of many ship sizes and types but I have a nice list of what ore and shard is not used a lot. I also need to check stations to be sure since they contain blocks others don't. Now that asteroid spawning is more or less equal for every asteroid out there, it...

      Thrust update is coming!+My observations [Dev Build 0.19525]

      That sounds pretty good, but still leaves 3 more sliders for rotation, so 6 total. Either way, at this stage it's a bit too late too implement that. Perhaps for another release.

      In your release, each cargo space gives you 4 times more volume. And each volume adds double mass than it does in the dev builds. This makes everything you use about 8 times heavier than what it is going to be. If you ignore the block volume changes at least.

      Thrust update is coming!+My observations [Dev Build 0.19525]

      To clarify, the reason why it takes 10 seconds (or maybe longer depending on what we'll put in the config) to make new changes apply on your ship is to prevent exploiting in mid battle. Sure, some of you would love that you can change it on the fly instantly...But can you imagine a capital ship...

      For now, cargo is just a system you'll get time to get used to. Cargo is important for future mechanics that will form the bigger picture.

      You can always override any change we do. The thing is that even now people are complaining about cargo spaces not adding enough volume. Is that because we've always spoiled players with infinite space? Or is that because it really offers not enough volume for gameplay purposes? Keep in mind...

      Well we can leave it untouched. In this case it wouldn't matter too much since the whole system will be reworked at some point. And why now? well someone brought it up and the council discussed about it. It's also possible to decrease the time an offline member makes you gain 20 points per...

      hm yes, about 6 times heavier. The mineral capsules aren't worth much compared to the ores and shards though so should they really become heavier so it's more accurate?

      I also forgot to mention that I tracked down the issue with asteroid spawning. Tomorrow's release will have all asteroids spawn with a similar chance, no exceptions. Minerals such as larimar have the same weight as raw ores and shards (0.01 volume).

      These are all the changes that were approved, including details. You're free to discuss this as long as you stay friendly. Use the "agree" rating so this thread doesn't get cluttered by 10 posts of the same opinion. If something we've applied gets too much discussion, it will be taken out for...

      Gargantuan mech build [Forearm]

      Somewhere, in a dark room, there's a developer wondering how on Earth he'll manage to optimize rails enough to make a completed version of this mech not lag the crap out of every PC ^^ More on topic: those are some very very cool rail gadgets, great work.
