I believe I also saw that collision damage got turned on as a default now, so definitely do not thud.

Yeah, we have a little bit of this in there now, but its off by default. Shops have ranges for items, so if its turned on you could buy low sell high and just play trader between shops.

Oh I know, and I agree. Comparing Starmade to most of the clones is idiotic because most of the clones are just using open source engines to look pretty while having literally no meat on their bones, no gameplay, nothing but pretty visuals. Starmade took the opposite route. It made the game...

Lol, it wasn't even that. It was more like "Okay, here's a nose cone, here's an engine, here's some compartments". There was no real "self built", more like "Pick a bunch of modules and squish them together". So it was somewhere between Star Trek Online's ship customization and Starmade.

Lol, nah, it was some really slick looking one with fancy weapon effects and parts, but they were all pre-made components and there was no actual combat. They made it look like a fight, and then just basically photoshopped in an explosion and despawned the ship behind it. As I heard at the...

Was it Skywanderers or the other one that had the big combat video that had ships despawning because the game engine literally could not do combat yet? Lot of the Starmade clones look a little prettier because they're using nothing but premade parts and have no actual gameplay engines in them...

Seriously, if I just wanted to play a space shooter, I'd be back on Eve: Valkyrie on my PSVR, do it all in 3D.

Ooh, I especially like the Cylon inspired one on the right!

Hmmmm... chambers are supposed to maintain their effect for a few minutes after being damaged to prevent expensive recalculations during combat. If you're seeing immediate, in-combat changes, that might be a bug.

Well the point of using a chamber-like system is that it should function like chambers do now for ships. Not that it enables you to do something, but that it makes it easier to do something, or makes the thing better. You don't need a chamber to move your ship, but chambers let you move it...

In my experience, Steam frequently "forgets" that you told it not to connect, not to update, etc. And next thing you know, its trying to update stuff you told it not to update. Steam is, bottom line, DRM in a dressed up wrapper. Any setting you make that would let you bypass it calling home...

Sorry to hear that.

Well, now that you're off of Steam (a good move, I hate Steam with a burning passion): You can revert to any previous build that you want. At any time you can just select a build prior to a release you weren't fond of and just play on that for as long as you want.

Funny, we're still here. The game is still receiving updates. And we're scheduled for beta and some ACTUAL ADVERTISING once that happens. And I know for a fact that the server list does not represent the entirety of the game, because I'm actively playing on a server that isn't listed.

Off the top of my head: * Armor - All the various grades of hull blocks * Weapons - Modules and computers * Systems - Shields, power, stabilizer, etc * Decorative - Consoles, displays, lights, etc * Support - Bobby, rails, dockers, etc Aka, keep it relatively simple.

We're at what I'd call "relatively stable" as in normal day to day activity such as placing a block or moving around doesn't cause the game to crash. Stable is sort of to software what a smoke test is to hardware. "I turned it on, did I see a puff of magic black smoke? No, okay, it passed the...

Well yeah, when its fully done. We're in alpha, bugs and crashes are to be expected. The "make all the bugs and crashes go away" is literally what beta is for.

No program of this level of complexity can.

Thats an idea. Run Enhancers like reactors, and have some kind of chamber system letting you modify how things work, and the chamber setup forcing you to build more specific factory lines. Got an armor factory over here, a weapons factory over there, a support systems factory in the back...

Just saying, I actually am a professional programmer (I write business software), and literally the only thing stable means in regards to a program is that it executes without crashing.
