We must spread the flame of knowledge to masses, even if we must do it one stake at a time.

Pretty obvious you didn't look, as the thing I was talking about with "shield" in it's name primary point was to divert ALL the e/sec of it's dedicated power supplies (the hyper efficient around 700k/sec lattice) to combat shield generation (ten times the e/sec of passive shield generation per...

Ahh, good point Andy! Yeah, I should have been more clear: "two different installations running two different instances" would have been a way better way of saying what I was getting at.

Weird that andy thinks you're loading mod, and the log shows [2022-06-28 19:27:59] [DebugFile] [StarLoader]28-06-2022 at 19:27:59 PDT ===== Clearing server mods ===== [2022-06-28 19:27:59] [DebugFile] [StarLoader]28-06-2022 at 19:27:59 PDT ===== Listing enabled mods ===== [2022-06-28...

To be clear, I'm talking SERVER instance there for 5+GHz core clock. Game runs fine solo-play or as a client on a sub $300-$500 PC from 2019 last I checked. Edit: Well, fine if certin NPC mechanics are properly pruned...

PvP has been at times great and at times impossible. Around 2014, just before beams were introduced, was the most "stable" I've seen combat. It wasn't perfect but it very rarely devolved into rubber banding and/or chunk anomalies that became common around 2016/17. (as long as the server wasn't...

Eh, Theorycraft™ says that an outer layer or two of standard, with a couple(2-3) layers of basic inside/below it, an empty space, and then 1-2 layers advanced around/encapsulating systems deeper inside the ship would offer the best balance of protection-to-mass-to-area. The discussion of...

and yet, pretty sure beams can't even damage missiles at all in SM. It's a balance thing, cause "instant hit-scan" weapons would make missiles completely useless.

To contribute to this a bit more deeply while waxing philisophical about the genXnova server, I spent some time thinking on it and pulling up some artifacts and significant tangents that I'll link to. Click the links, they explain things. I was most active in the Power1 era, still fairly strong...

Bobbybighoof ran an awesome server in an awesome era. Even if some of his various "Spawn sector stations" were a bit too big for the engine and netcode.

Isn't it like, 5 chamber blocks for most small ships to get multiple auto-charging FTL these days or did I miss a memo?

those are fun to build but hell to use. Pretty much for exactly the reasons you're bad at. Short answer: not since weapons rework, AI has been glitched and crappy since 2017. Long answer: The AI system likes to hover around he range of the longest-range weapons system on the entity. Explosive...

Fully aware, but considering the "size requirements" that the new reactors/stabilizers put in when introduced you have to admit there had to be some misguided balance objective as well. Considering the "easy" way to fix undocking and clipping poblems would be to make docking blocks act like...

The irony here: That entire system was put in place to "stop people bypassing size requirements for reactors" and to "prevent exploits like the docked reactors caused" Typical Squeaky wheels breaking other stuff when they get all the grease they ask for.

Power 1: Volumetric stick power. Had only 1 type of block, the generator. They gained power up to around 700k/sec exponentially with adding to the "total dimensions" x+y+z while adding a fixed x/sec per block a well. Diminishing returns on exponential power after 700k/sec and reduced to the same...

IIRC the antigravity chamber (the one that most often is used to stop planets sucking in bigger ships) also negates wormhole network acceleration. For wormholes/stars, IIRC, you can "surf" into them without damage by being aligned to a small entity and finding some way to have it pilot itself...

No idea what your problem is (bitlocker? profile permissions? elevation? Dickish ISP? Drive compression? )...But, it shouldn't really matter. Index of /build/ that's a direct link to the build files. As of this moment the newest one is...

heh, Divide by zero error in armor value rears ugly head.

Saucer miner should mine with a downwards abduction beam. It is known.

I'm thinking they just don't know how to bind custom controls. Granted I'm not going to bother setting up again to check if it's been recently broken...but: Last time I tried I managed to bind a PS3 Controller to starmade and had it work just fine with both astro and ship controls. This...
