      An Urgent Message to Schine

      Killer. Yeah. Let's brainstorm this shit. Start a thread?

      An Urgent Message to Schine

      Suggested it a while back. No official response. Maybe DukeofRealms never saw it.

      An Urgent Message to Schine

      Honestly, many of the forums I've used most in the past I never even visit "General" because it's invariably full of garbage like this and little of use. Problem here, is that - in a game about building spaceships - we have no topical sub-forum to talk about building where this kind of sh...

      The sounds of silence

      Or go with the configurable audio block and just make that logic-compatible. 1 block instead of... more. Logic rigs eat up so much space already; they're worse than computers in the 60s.

      Spawn Ships to Docking Rails

      Rise, ye spirit of thread departed... Rise, and return to life! I command ye, by the power of the most blasphemous word of demonic art: BUMP!! (BEHOLD MY DARK POWER! Bwahahahah... etc, etc.) Seriously though. Rezzing this one in hopes that schema or kupu or someone at Schine takes a look...

      Mining drones in 2019

      Soda can is a pretty good description, sadly. For a small mining MS I'll outfit it with 4-8 (multiples of naturally occuring external docking points, because TBH I've only ever made one industrial carrier for mining that wasn't a test platform with a very minimal consideration for style), slim...

      Mining drones in 2019

      I'm going to be honest that I only read the first few paragraphs and skimmed the rest, and also that I stopped tinkering with mining drones until the universe update comes out. That said... I've made extensive use of them in the past, and did have working drones under a recent build. My only...

      Universe Update Brainstorming

      Tradewars 2002 original style. Agreed; I've long wondered why this sort of thing isn't being used to protect and/or semi-protect regions of space rather than invulnerability. The same dynamic is how player-owned stations would be best buffed/protected as well - automated fleet response to...

      StarMade v0.201.337 LOD Blocks, Rule System, Balance, Fixes

      Yeah, they weren't bad anyway. So many good ways to dovetail interior space and decor into functionality; hopefully one will eventually be implemented.

      Probe Four: An RP Mini-Series

      I thought it was nice. I just saw you guys talking about what forum the thread was in and tossed in my two cents. No reason it shouldn't be in Shipyards or wherever, but Fan Art seemed the most appropriate. I think I must've missed some of the nuance of your conversation though.

      Ideas on the Role of Crew

      Main thing for me a setting so that when a section of ship is vaporized, the crew in it do not get vaporized but instead 'die' (become fully inactive) and just float around for a couple minutes before disappearing, bouncing off of other objects along their trajectory like little rubber balls...

      Probe Four: An RP Mini-Series

      Hrmmm... Does this qualify as "Fan Art?"

      Is 2.0 power optimization actually meta?

      Assuming that "fake" and "gay" are your efforts at using wit to say "really damn bad," you should probably move on. You choose to be here. Or not. So quit your weeping and wailing about being 'forced' to do things. If it's gay, then you clearly enjoy the gay, because actions speak far louder...

      An Urgent Message to Schine

      That was definitely a bad call. I think you're being myopic to say that it is "THE" issue as if there are no other major contributions, but I agree that it hurt activity levels a lot. So did the negative publicity campaign on YouTube, Steam, Reddit, Discord and other social mediums. So did the...

      Starmade Shipyard Threads - Make & Breaks

      Makes: Anything directly related to shipbuilding, engineering, co-op requests, questions about subsystems, showing off finished entities and WIPs. It's a ship yard. It's about design, engineering, construction, subcontracting, and review of ships (and stations, IMO). Breaks: WoT about a...

      Interstellar Weaponry

      Works for me. Target anything within your field of active vision. It's probably more sensible for interplanetary warfare than huge, expensive ships. Would need a solid counter; some kind of station or planet based defense system that could intercept these things.

      Make something like this a server option.

      An Urgent Message to Schine

      I'd love to share! Go through Marine Corps boot camp, then turn left at a signals intelligence career. Invest 18 months in special schools to come out with a top secret clearance, and then go spend a year doing OJT under the NSA where you learn to analyze & report on the shenanigans that...

      StarMade - PvP & PvE balance, Perspective & Direction

      Glad to see stabilization range reduced. Very glad to see the stabilization stream go. Putting exploit prevention into a server-side package is a pretty good compromise... for a situation that seems to have been impossible to solve for years now. Not ideal, but I get it. Very good news...
