      Dire Cruiser Project

      Well, if nothing else this project has convinced me that I need to study legs.

      Dire Cruiser Project

      A friend asked me to contribute a skyscraper to his floating city project, so I threw a little something together this evening. The friend objected, "It's too big!" Yeah, that's what she said.

      Dire Cruiser Project

      Decided I needed better turrets. Also more engines.

      Are USD really USD?

      Put at least one USD at the edge of your bounding box. Problem solved. Except for that whole "dock to your ship and jump it into a star" thing. As I understand the forced dock procedure, permission blocks don't help. Ship A has a USD with a private docking beam. Ship B has a standard rail on a...

      Are USD really USD?

      The USD if implemented properly on a ship is a bit dangerous because it's relatively easy for an enemy to force-dock and jump into a star with it (or so I've been told). Most useful is on stations and 'receptive' and small docks (like shuttles) have it protrude about 5 blocks out from anything...

      Dire Cruiser Project

      Got a little bit of wedgery done. It feels like this is headed in the right direction and the ship looks a little less naked. Somehow the wings wound up exactly the same height (19m) as the hangars had. Will have to think about that. Think I need to bring the hull area a little bit in on the...

      a collection of a mad man

      Suggestion: prow should in fact be its own 1km turret, self-powered, 500m adv armor, and dozens of massive ship-killing missile-pulse torpedos. Commander of the forward bays slaughters enemy before Grand Admiral on the bridge is even aware that there is an enemy. And yes, that means that the...

      New Player Archetype Role

      Well, they might not be wrong, but they probably are. There -are- MMOs that can milk their users for cash for decades on end, but Starmade is not one of them. Not even close. Schine is delusional if it thinks it's going to ever premier as a big $60 game with a fancy IPO and retire as...

      Tenbris Lux is recruiting on the Light vs Dark server! We are a freedom-loving Light faction with a penchant for assisting newbies in need, and I am Dire, the shadowy leader of this cult strike group. We are looking for pilots, miners, newbies and seasoned veterans to fill the ranks of the Good...

      Suggestion for missile slave on beams and cannons

      The issue with long-range pulse IIRC is that it is a very computationally expensive thing at even relatively short ranges. Since the ellipsoid builder uses those same computations you can actually see how long it would take to calculate a pulse shot at a given range -- try plugging 100, 500, and...

      Dire Cruiser Project

      After much discussion and hunting for options, I decided to continue the project with some major changes. Partly this was due to the addition in my faction of a very avid miner/builder, which meant my resource crunch wasn't quite so pressing. Partly this was simply a lack of other options that I...

      Non-turret docked entities should be streamlined

      You can do that now but you kind of have to think about it backwards. Dock the cockpit as a turret to the main body, and then the 'pilot' shifts from cockpit awareness to ship awareness.

      VEGA Conflict build (Builders Wanted!)

      When the head of a company is blind to human suffering, it is an unfortunate place to work, and when a game is developed with no thought to pride of workmanship or fun, but only to addiction and repetition, it is an unfortunate game to play.

      VEGA Conflict build (Builders Wanted!)

      No, I got sick of Kixeye's blatant, grindy greed and left. I haven't played VC in ages.

      You should take your starmade/blueprints folder and send it to a zip file and then put it on a thumb drive, google drive or one drive. That way if your laptop dies, you can just install starmade on a new computer, unzip your blueprints zip, and have all your old ships back.

      Dire Cruiser Project

      Think I am going to shelve this cruiser for a bit and repurpose the parts into a 75-ton hybrid fighter/miner for the LVD mineapalooza quest. I am running short of supplies after losing all those turrets, especially beam modules.

      VEGA Conflict build (Builders Wanted!)

      I'm looking to build a cruiser in the near future and can try to build one of the vega conflict ones. Might not be Exodus cruiser, I don't know yet. Ragnarok could be a fun project but I don't know that I'm ready to start on that one quite yet.
