      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      So whilst browsing around for some build inspiration, I stumbled upon this. It's concept art for the Borg ship that attacks Earth in the movie Star Trek: First Contact, it's a "tetragon" instead of the usual cube and was almost approved for use in the movie until the producers changed their...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Some more WIP pics, really enjoying building this one so far. :D Keep in mind the rooms and hallways being made out of black hull is just a placeholder to get the internal framework in place, I'll go back through and decorate it appropriately later. Relative to it's size and my previous builds...

      Coil Thrusters: Variable nerf

      Really grinds my gears when people just spout that same crap for every suggestion, "you can config it yourself". We know, but that is no excuse at all. The game needs a basic set of rules that are balanced, add depth, and make relative sense. You simply cannot just "config everything yourself"...

      Beam Weapon + AMC slave obsolete? (Nvm, was me being dumb)

      Ah I see, disregard this thread, was just me not testing stuff properly. >.< Previously unlinked and linked beams with AMC both fired constantly, just AMC ones ticked faster, thought that was still the case. Didn't read about them making the unlinked beams have a short pulse and a cooldown...

      Beam Weapon + AMC slave obsolete? (Nvm, was me being dumb)

      Is it even worth pairing these two up anymore since the beams now have a 0.1 second tick speed? EDIT: Just tried it, literally zero change in stats of the master beam weapon when paired with AMC.

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      I have all those 4 texture options set to "ON" (2D compression, Array compression, 2D Mipmapping, Array Mipmapping), is it best to have them on or off for sharper/cleaner images at distance? Since the majority of my builds are pretty large I am always going quite far out to get an all-inclusive...

      Suggestion Update complaints thread .

      The only complain I have is that I wish they would take more time for internal testing and fleshing a patch out before releasing it. Throwing half-assed game breaking patches at us every week just for the sake of speedy updating is worse than waiting a year between updates.

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      I'm not sure I will check next time I'm on, what does that setting do? Hey Farel, I actually had that planned out from the start, in fact before I reduced the clutter in my main post, there was an item in the stations tab called "Modular Drone Cube" to be used within the Unicomplex, can't put...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Hey guys, my major update to the main post is finished, fixed the layout to make it more compact and easy to understand what I'm doing. Also removed a lot of the random ships that I have planned to reduce clutter, will add them back in when they are being actively worked on/planned out. Take a...

      Starfleet - Still boldly going [No longer recruiting]

      You guys do realise the Borg adapted to those transphasic weapons right? They are powerful yes, but not nearly as much as the Starfleet fan boys (no offense!) like to go all godmode with. Old news, stop using them to appear invulnerable!

      Starmade V0.158

      I think you drag the computer to your hotbar and activate it like cloaking.

      Starmade V0.158

      It's like I said before, we need clean patches that are fleshed out and well built, rather than these messy small ones every few days. We can barely play the game if this is how patching is going to continue. No one cares if you take a few extra weeks to set up a patch, quality over quantity.

      Starmade V0.158

      I like change, it's good for the game that things are developing this fast, all I'm saying is that the devs should do more internal testing before releasing patches to the public. It's not a good sign that a system is changed, then literally a couple weeks later it's flipped on it's head and...

      Starmade V0.158

      In my opinion the devs should focus more on future proofing and a LOT more internal testing before releasing changes that have to be turned around and completely redesigned a few weeks later (i.e - the big shield stats mess). I realise the game is alpha and that means it's a prototype, but you...

      Starmade V0.158

      I think with all these absolutely enormous game changes being thrown out every week it's best to just not build any ships and maybe focus on some station construction for a while until the game settles down into a playable state. Really cba having to rebuild my ships with each and every patch. xD

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      I won't lie, multiplayer is pretty boring for me at the moment, it's just singleplayer but with other people in the background. I'm not actually playing with anyone, I'll probably just continue in singleplayer for the foreseeable future. Don't have the time or willpower to set up and play a...

      My idea of warp drive

      To be fair, that's not a design limitation, that's a choice. You could create a good enough warp drive inside any ship (given the numbers are balanced properly), you would just have to do some internal planning. Same with any vehicle construction. There is nothing in the game that requires you...

      We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

      Hey guys, sorry for the long radio silence, it's incredibly busy at work here in summer, having a hard time trying to find some hours to relax and play games. :) Anyway, at some point this week I will be doing a big update to the main post outlining my current and long term plans, since the...

      My idea of warp drive

      Also there should be some sort of wait time and animation surrounding a ship when they are about to activate warp/transwarp. So ships don't suddenly just disappear and make people go "wat".
