      Help with effects 2.0

      I am glad they got rid of damage pulse. It was a stupid idea. I was wanting a mix between cannon and beam that shot a big glowing ball of death, but instead we got a fusion cutter. In the end it's only purpose was to make weapons do more damage and use up more power. Ultimately what they will...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      started playing around with ship creation, and downloaded the zip, and copied the folders over to the game after i installed the dev build. First thing i discovered: getting the shield bubble around a downloaded shell is tricky. it seems that the size of the ship and the bubble needs to be...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      This is all good to know. That also sounds fun as hell. I will have to get this setup asap. Judging from what i have been reading, a LOT of balancing work needs to be done. I have been musing with making a "Richard Mobious" whale ship that is stealth + ftl with lazers and heavy missiles. I think...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Let me get back into the swing of things. Those guys complaining about the power update were unfortunately VERY correct. The game became incredibly counter intuitive. The pre power update i used to download empty shells, and make them work. It was a lot of fun. So this time around i downloaded...

      Big performance increases (I/O) - Universe update dev dump 4 - [30 OCT - 7 NOV]

      Population system plans. A new "resource" to fuel and grow an empire, represented by physical NPCs! It seems i am coming back at the right time. The universe was very empty. So if we are going to have npcs, can we have furniture for them now? like little beds and tables on the ships...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      If this is how the weapons will be configured in the future, i will have to download this and try it out. Is there an install guide? I have been gone for 3 years, a lot to catch up on...

      What have you done... (power system wtf)

      Why have only one power system? Why not have two power systems that are determined by the type of ship core? From what i understand, the big cause of this mess was lag caused by power transfer beams from docked reactors. Docked reactors were cool, they required logic and you had to design the...

      What happened to Starmade?

      I have been thinking about the power update, and i think they completely dropped the ball there. But lets look at what caused the problem: Docked Reactors. Now docked reactors were awesome. They were cool. We had a hard cap on power generation, and docked reactors bypassed this. They came in...

      I don't get Starmade anymore.

      Your problem is number 2. It's a voxel game. SO your ship is ugly? so is mine. What gets me is once i build my ship, what do i do with it? Why build the ship? where do i take the ship? what is the point of making the ugly ship? Stationeers: you build ugly station so you don't freeze to death...

      What actually failed in Starmade - if you care to listen.

      "The reason Starmade died is because there isn't enough to do. " I would not say that the game is dead, but i can agree that it needs more things to do. I have over 2000 hours in Kenshi. Why? because there is stuff to do and there are new stories in each game. I started playing mount and...

      Power & Oxygen systems

      I like the idea of a life support processor block. You don't even have to inclose it, you can just have it make one big "non dying" boundary box.

      A main hub spawn station, with services like insurance and banking

      After a while, i have seen some complaints pop up over and over again. These range from players hitting complete rock bottom and are out of money and their ships on the servers have been destroyed, to people wanting home stations to be attacked. these complaints address one big problem: if you...

      Station Vulnerability Timers: An alternative to Standard and Reverse FP configs

      If there was say, a massive hub station at 2,2,2 that every player spawned at, i would not mind this. It would also be nice if there was a "star bank" with the traders guild, and you can put emergency money in it to make sure your ship is ok. If we had those, then making stations destroy able...

      Importing your favorite ship hulls per request (1 a month)

      Are you going to import/have imported any chaos ships? i like the way those look better. Someone uploaded a murder class shell a while back, but the file, even the newest one, keeps getting corrupted(scrap code?).

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      has anyone tried using drone fleets for blockades? I am curious to see if it is possible to trap a hostile faction at their stations by having tons of defensive fleets set to idle just out of range of their missiles.

      Station Vulnerability Timers: An alternative to Standard and Reverse FP configs

      Here is another one: I am a griefer, i hate everyone because i am a ginger. Griefing is in my blood. My ancestors griefed the Romans so hard that the built a wall to keep them out. I MUST grief, it is in my genes, so i giref in videogames. Today's grief, I use a stealth ship and a welder to...

      Advice on a large ship I'm wanting to build

      Turrets. Turrets are your new friend now. You will want most of the turret underneath the hull. You will want it to be self powered. If you do this right, you will have some very nasty guns that will be completely self sufficient. It will affect role play room however. You will also want to...

      Decouple Shipyards from Design

      I think one option is to bundle a design tool with the game. This is not a new thing. Starcraft has a level maker, and bethesda has their own level making kits, so why not give starmade a "create your own ship tool", that can be accessed in game or outside of the game. To make things more fun...

      New update not letting me long in

      I put in my password, but it keeps saying "invalid credentials". Account is not linked up with steam. does not seem to recognize my stardock password, so there is no way to log in and play the game via steam.
