      Power Dev Build

      Right, the screaming was useful feedback. As far as we know it's STILL going to be months before anything happens. False. https://us.battle.net/forums/en/heroes/topic/16718071859 Interesting that three of those changes were power changes. This is basically the one system where players haven't...

      Power Dev Build

      Will grant you that the sneak peak of this power update didn't go over too well. One could argue that it's because they decided to revisit a core system, which while not perfect worked "pretty well" and had many hours of fine tuning and debugging which are simply being discarded as not good...

      Cubical planets are better and I can explain why

      If we are going for non-sphere planets I vote ring worlds. Or disks supported by giant space whales.

      Cubical planets are better and I can explain why

      There's actually a way to modify the current dodecahedron planets to be a lot more workable, but the same method would work for a cubic planet and would probably be easier for the servers to calculate. First let me draw a picture of the current problem: You can see I've simplified the...

      Reactor chambers

      A point of interest is that AI is "pretty dumb(tm)". If you've got a fleet of drones and the opponent has a fleet of drones, aren't they pretty much just going to kill each other's tank and there isn't a lot the player can do to direct them to a more useful target? I don't think we have an...

      Reactor chambers

      So the key point here is that you've got limited options and if you want to switch between them, you need to shut everything down for a bit while your new reactor spools up -- probably not a good idea in the middle of combat. So let's go back to your yellow/orange reactor example. Instead of 8...

      Config option to disable homebase protection altogether

      Need to remove home base location from faction listings if you do this. Or not, and just disable home bases entirely.

      Reactor chambers

      I want to believe that's accurate but based on the dev video, the small ships had enough tech points for only one, maybe two reactors. If you want more than that you need to start building in different reactors and eat a reboot period every time you switch. I have a hard time believing that a...

      WizTech Fleetworks - Battlecruiser Project (yet unnamed, suggestions welcome)

      Instead of marine squads you should fit your drop bay with torpedo racks :D Then you have the flexibility to invade planets OR be a monster in ship-to-ship combat!

      Reactor chambers

      The chamber system as outlined uses a finite resource, called tech points (or whatever they're calling it this week); each chamber uses a portion of this finite resource and upgrading chambers use more of it. So your power reactor will use some tech points, your ion passive uses some tech...

      Reactor chambers

      Would you rather your 500k mass ship be able to have 60% ion passive or an extra 25% power and 0% ion? The ability to cloak and scan down ships or 50% more power? The point is to make it not a trivial design decision where you just cram as much extra power on as possible, but actually a tradeoff...

      Reactor chambers

      One of the concerns that I've seen regarding the power update is that it introduces a lack of depth into ship design. Today small ships play a role in combat against larger ships, but these days are numbered. Soon, bigger will be strictly better. To address this concern, I propose the power...

      StarMade Dock: Family Friendly?

      Instead of loading the question one way by saying, "Should we think of the children on Starmade Dock," let's load the question the other way by asking, "Should the admins delete more posts to protect the snowflakes?" And the answer is: [Post deleted by moderator for reason: -1 disagree]...

      Dire Cruiser Project

      So I finally finished the rear of the shell for the Arcanis. Along the way I picked up a 300k-mass Ddraig courtesy of my allies. Not sure if I should censure it >.>

      The internet considers censorship to be damage and routes around it.

      Community Behaviour

      Just want to point out that my post, "[Post deleted by moderator: -1 disagree]" was deleted by a moderator for reason: Not constructive. This is exactly the kind of abusive censorship that shows why you should only delete posts for illegal content. For the record I think it's hilarious, since...

      A news post telling people to watch a stream to get any information at all about a news post, is closed for being off topic because people are talking about the stream on the news post. Working as intended. Regarding your suggestions, deleting posts: that's called censureship and it's not ever...

      Fleet command: form up on me

      Fleet command: Form up on me. Fleet will attempt to maintain a loose formation (about two to four ship lengths) around the player's ship. If the player warps, the fleet will follow if able. The fleet will attack any enemies in the sector. Ships attempt to maintain distance from both player and...

      How do i make this not look terrible?

      Here's an easy fix you can do for it just using grey hull. I've sketched a wire frame: basically just put your box inside a hexagon using wedges. Add a little more definition to the wings and add an RP cockpit and engines in back. And you're done! Optionally, add some extra missile systems under...
