      Star-made orbits using rails, ESA Rosetta

      the "linear dampening" in the starmade config file essentially determines inertia fall off - that is to say, say your ship is going a maximum speed of 100 and you let off the thrust - inertial dampening will affect how long it takes the ship to drift back down to zero. this can affect piloting...

      The Status Block: The missing link between logic and display blocks

      i made a very similar suggestion in this thread a while ago: http://starmadedock.net/threads/two-logic-enhancements-that-could-add-a-lot-of-possibilties.4538/ it would be wonderful to be able to push sign-data around. i think the facet-adjacent model that the rails system uses could be very...

      Overclocking your 8-bit CPU or Logic :)

      ived used this sytem and a set of rails rotating on prime numbers to generate strobe lights. past that i can't find a good application for the fast pulses. i considered trying to adapt the same system to a good RNG, the problem becomes trying to take a reading of the flip flops. because the...

      Logic Ticks for Factory Cycle

      i base many of my factory operations on a storage clock: take two chests, wire them to one another, each set to draw a single item from the other. use the empty / not empty indicators to power the alternatating chest, so a never-ending game of "catch" is cycling between them. you can interupt...

      "Spathi Basin" a PVP map : development log

      phase two complete: finished up the aimable mining laser unit, which will be used for capture points, installed most all of the major components: http://imgur.com/gallery/SrJa8/new the barest bones of the level dimensions have been laid: 1 km x 750 m x 750 m - so it will be stretching the...

      Starship Heart of Gold (up for download!)

      not quite yet, no. i still have to finish the final interior chambers up front and pimp out the light display on the front end to be more multi-layered as it appears in the show. i want to do an animated smiling "eddie" computer face panel of some sort, and some other fun hitchhiker's details...

      Spacie's "Spacious" Spaceships

      working next to spacie is simultaneously stimulating and horrifying. seeing these ships in your screenshots makes even workhorse ships i've spend hours in like the gremlin seem fresh and beautiful all over again.

      Star-made orbits using rails, ESA Rosetta

      My model of the ESA Rosetta satellite in orbit around a custom asteroid Zero-sen made for me from a 3-d object. Using the new rotators, i whipped up a quick gyroscope system which is now used to create a theatrical multi-axis orbit pattern for the satellite to put it on display. animated...

      "Spathi Basin" a PVP map : development log

      mostly just developing concept and components for a 3-point-capture based starmade pvp map. drafting what i hope will be an epic battle for mining rights on three asteroids: they include: - a 100-point scoring system that ends and resets the game - one button game reset - capture and scoring...

      Gravity Module Control

      i can think of several ways in which gravity control could be made more flexible. it is a neat mechanic and begs to be used more, but there are some real problems when attempting to automate gravity for other players, most of which seem like they could be solved with the TLC of block-adjacent...

      9x9 modular programmable astrolabe

      9x9 modular pasteable, stackable astrolabe kit: - program direction and speed. (large orbits generally o.k. to leave at non-enhanced speeds) will finish and put up on the dock, i hope. create your own custom orbitals for ship-stations, asteroids or patrolling turrets! hope to have a good...

      Starship Heart of Gold (up for download!)

      I'd always loved the heart of gold design that was built from a shower head in the 80's hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy: in addition to this overall, shape, i wanted to build something like that that fit some of the descriptions in the book (e.g. looks like a sleek running shoe, 150 meters...

      Are there any no-blueprints servers remaining?

      i think what you may find is that crafting has been streamlined so well that blueprint crafting is the most sensible way to do things. it allows you generate good cannon fodder and get in the scrap if you have the production in line, without relying on shops. is no-blueprint play possible...
