I'm often flattered when people think Kupu made the default Dave skin, as he's a much more experienced 2D artist than I am. I was even more flattered when Kupu said he didn't think he could really make a better "default" skin than the Dave skin I had made. :D Mostly because a default skin should...

While I can't make any promises on details and I'm not certain on the exact future mechanics, I believe you can expect much greater variety in planets in the future, less "there are x numbers of types of planets" and more each planet having unique characteristics. Mix that with Fauna that...

Unfortunately, modding by nature can be a bit daunting. Though the most basic kind of modding - adjustment of values such as sector size, pirate aim values or max speed - is very easy and accessible. Block editing is also not too difficult, with perhaps the visual/graphic in the texture file...

Actually, I specifically was using the word "explosions" with no variations (such as explosive, explosives or explosion) and my half of "explosions" is half of the word down to the letter, as it is a ten letter word and I only used the first five letters. (explo) It's the subtle, quiet finesse...

Never been a fan of the speed cap or the way speed/maneuverability is handled in general. I have proposed a different way of handling it in the past.

Huh? Sorry, I didn't really read the thread, just kinda got dragged in here by the notification. Probably not my place to give details on what will or won't be in the system, better to ask Calbiri. As far as weapons and HP and all that goes, I'll be mostly responsible for making weapons hit...

Can't promise on the exact details, and the first implementations may not be quite as much of a problem for a big ship, but my hope is to have Fauna that regularly surprise you and are more of a threat than you expect. If nothing else, one feature I hope for pretty early on is for leaving your...

Well, in Minecraft there is technically no such thing as biological sex. All characters and mobs, even though Steve resembles a man, are technically neither male nor female by Minecraft lore. I thought that was an elegant way to address the issue. Then you just let modders add any actual gender...

I believe a great Chinese philosopher once said "If you cannot use the green hull, or the orange hull, you cannot use any hull at all." ...really though, I use green hull for my Federation cruisers and space stations, making it one of the most important colors in my own personal universe/local...

Absolutely. :) Pardon me if I was a little too general rather than paying attention to the skin in question. Might end up having to take the poll's second place name, though, simply due to the nature of the poll and name. While the female Dave may be Daisy, feel free to give your own skin a...

Hate to burst your bubble, but I'd already long since decided on a name for the female Dave: Daisy. This is due to HAL singing Daisy Bell in 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is the same movie that the name Dave comes from. Also, the name is very similar to Dave in multiple different ways while still...

Whatever the details, let me make this clear: the game WILL change drastically. The game is still in alpha, FAR from feature-complete. You can always expect the kind of sandbox freedom currently present to be available. However, you can expect a LOT more actual "gameplay" as the game develops...

*high five* Me too! :D

You're assuming that while you can mod in new things, you can't remove things that are already ingame. In theory, it will be just as easy - if not easier - to remove things in the default game. :) While my hope would be that it would be extremely easy to do so (such as having it directly in the...

That little guy is not modded in, as others have said. I modeled and textured it myself as test Fauna, and it does generally represent the art style I plan to go for. :) (Though the texture is actually partially incomplete if you look at the underside of the ridges on the back, haha. Only the...

Hmm, never got a chance to play Star Wars Galaxies. Wonder if any emulators are far enough along to have those features. (Since the official servers have been shut down.) But yes, I imagine genetic manipulation with possibilities so much wider (as they would be in StarMade) would be quite...

It is unlikely you would be able to submit it for use in default StarMade. However, it is certainly my hope that modders will be able to make such things happen. In other words, while I make no promises on future features or their details, I would certainly like players to be able to play in...

Thread moved from WIP to Releases at TheMightyFid's request. :) If you need anything else, just let me know. Also, looking absolutely amazing. Keep up the fantastic work. :D

Eh, I wouldn't worry TOO much about competition. If you do things well, it won't matter. Though it sounds like you've actually already got that concept in mind, and are delaying release to make sure you do things well. If so, good move. ;) Nothing personal, but it doesn't really matter to me...

Blend modes are great, though I find most of them are only for extremely specific uses (like XOR), leaving only a fraction of them for common use. Once you understand it, Overlay is an incredibly useful blend mode. Kind of like Screen and Multiply at the same time, with middle gray (roughly...
