\"New missile animation\" is kind of a misleading way of describing such a thing: the typical \"animation\" I do refers to the animation of skinned meshes, or at least the animation of the skeletons the meshes are skinned to, as I am also the game\'s modeler. This is a strictly model related...

Of course it\'s not a joke, silly. As has been said, it\'s NOT coming in the next update, but it IS coming. :) And indeed: spreading the work load is essential to the future of the game. There\'s no reason Schema should be forced to manage the community communications and fiddle around in 3ds...

Well, only when the (large number of) bugs are fixed. (Not with the player model, but with a variety of other key game systems.) The player model isn\'t what\'s holding the update back right now.

Well, the player model, including proper running animations for gravity/planets, jumping animations and animations for holding, aiming and firing your pistol (as well as the model for the pistol itself) will all be included in the next update; they\'re already ready. ;)

Sorry elicitend, but Commodore got it right. :) Though I can understand your connection. Actually, anyone who knows me well would probably have a major head-start; I\'m a HUGE Mass Effect fan. Specifically, Morinth says it when you are in her apartment and examine a chess set. Which, as those...

Well, I made the player model. He may be a coding god, but it\'s better if I handle the art. We also happen to work extremely well together, which is a bonus. (And while I made the player model and animations, he does still have to code the implementation.) But yes, Schema is really one person...

This is actually an excellent point. In my opinion, the current GUI is not sufficient to meet the needs of the game. The current hotbar at the bottom may not have enough slots for everything that\'s going to be needed. In that vein, I will try to examine the possibility of additional hotbar...

Cannon, Missile, Beam, Pulsar and Minelayer are the five primary weapons, and the primary weapons and primary hybrids come to a total of 30 weapons. (5 primary, 25 hybrids) That being said, power drain/supply and salvage beams will still be in the game as they, especially the salvage beam, are...

That\'s why Schema is extremely busy bug-fixing and the new weapons system isn\'t coming in the next patch. :)

Yamato Cannon. ...seriously. I\'m looking forward to the charge laser. Takes a little premeditation, but allows you to NAIL your enemy if you do it right. Adds a lot more finesse to combat, and gives you the opportunity to pull clever and unusual maneuvers. Besides, I love any game where your...

Yeah, but that guy had force powers. Besides, the Death Star\'s was clearly built by a noob. The design doesn\'t even make sense. It\'s worse than a cube ship.

*reads comments* ...Wow, you guys are a fickle bunch, haha. Well, those who speak out in anger are simply the ones that have anger to speak out. I imagine much of the community is more patient, though that bit of a communication blackout from us was indeed unusual and I can\'t blame people for...

Nope. I\'m the modeler and animator responsible for the new player model, upcoming animals/creatures and more. ;) Back to work!

In order to get this update out sooner, I am devoting all my time to finishing the final work on the art side until it\'s ready. Not sure how much sleep I\'ll get tonight, if any. I\'ve been widely busy, but I should be able to finally get this out to you guys ASAP. :)

I\'ve actually been a bit ill as well, though thankfully not as ill as Schema. Work on the model is coming along steadily, though. :) As for models and modding, I\'ll do my best to help the community whenever and however I can as far as getting their own custom models ingame. I\'m an avid game...

I can\'t give any specifications or time estimates, but we are aware the GUI and general UI aren\'t really up to par and plan to redesign the UI when we can. The game has evolved quite a bit since the initial GUI design. We will aim to make the UI / GUI highly customizable to fit each player\'s...

Please, mother of god tell me that the pirates you\'re facing aren\'t Isanths... Actually, due to combined changes that cause them to group up more, chase you more actively and weapons and shields reacting differently, Isanths have been giving even me trouble lately. (At least if I\'m not...

Schema\'s plans for modding involve waiting until the game\'s code isn\'t so fluid and obfuscated. That will most likely be sometime during beta. Schema has said in interviews that he wants modding to be a central facet of Starmade, and plans for modding to be built right into the game! Want a...

Just so you know, there are enough good ideas in this thread that I\'m going to stick them in my brain for future use. Schema is obviously the one who would be able to make it and thus it\'d be his call, but I\'m actually starting to think of an interesting gamemode idea. The current universe...

I find some of the defense of the game in its current state in this thread flattering, but let\'s be honest, people. Most people don\'t want to place 1 million cubes if the only thing to do after that is admire the massive size of your... ship... and show it off to others to see whose ship is...
