So the HB should just sit and watch you coming in with warheads and making it swiss cheese while perfectly apt warships with activated AIs are docked to it, if it has no turrets?

Thank you! And many thanks for the OP! His idea of a SM University benefited me and probably more noobs after me a year after the thread was opened.

Thank you! So docked reactors use no chambers and feed no weapons, they are simply inactive? I noticed that by docking ships to a station that had more than enough power for the station (shields and factory blocks and factory enhancers) said station gets unpowered because it tries to feed the...

Noob questions about turrets (I hope I'm not too off-topic): 1. If in any position the turrets fit entirely into the mothership/station shield sphere, does the mothership or station shield also protect its turrets? I think the answer may be different for stations and for ships, not sure. 2. I...

Well, Warheads used to do their thing in any base. Ignoring its invulnerability. So, procedure was easy: 1. Make an antenna by using one core, one rail docker "under it", then place 8 warheads in it's "up" direction, remove the first 7, place 8 more, remove the 7 between the first and last...

Hey, you can repair without a shipyard, but you'll run into a different dimension of trouble if you had cargo and you'd like to keep it. Make a private BP after you make a ship and before you use it for anything. If you modify the ship in any way, like replacing a reactor chamber with another...

The only thing with big ships is players need to feel some progression for them. In survival, IDK how you start and progress, so I'll talk about me. Though I suspect it is the same for everyone. Start on a new survival world, online or offline, is I have enough blocks to make a small miner and...

Not sure how it would look when finished but the starting shape looks gorgeous. Please finish it when you can...

I never saw these ships before, yet I built a bit similar ships (just uglier) for Warships. Those were the days... I love what the OP did. Is he still around?

Thank you a lot for clarification! So the current versions are still playable in my own crazy way, that is what I needed to know. Thing is that without push pulse I am not sure how to automate mining. And mining personally looks like repetitive boring work with no fun in it, for me. While...

I was asking if hunting lower mass AI or starter ships in something bigger than them but not extremely big means I must return to shipyard after every battle. I mean when I know I will win. Is it usual to win fights untouched or is it usual me and the enemy to drill as fast as possible one into...

Not just space. Mass. Your cargo (when filled up) adds mass that is not systems, not role-playing satisfaction, it is just mass. It's a downgrade from the space compression infinite storage that adds inconvenience in order to reduce utility. I mean, even if I add a lot of storage space (for...

You said everyone else starts with a hull. It's perfectly true. When you redesign again your miner ship you already know where cargo pods will land, their dimensions, how much energy your ship will use, how many salvage blocks arranged how, etc. First time you build something that you need to...

The game breaking change for me was long before power 2. I had already found a way around the broken roid spawn and it was an easy one: Isanth hunting. (I always used to make things on live servers and use them there, not just spawn things in in single player, because this is not a Harry Potter...

The game was gorgeous in Power 1 and I heard it still rocks in Quick Fix era. Not many people are attracted to a game where you fly what you engineered, but that is people's problem, not StarMades.

Years ago when I was active, (power 1.0), if one lost shields first, he lost the battle. If not, he basically won with his ship intact. Usually. (There still were drones and warhead torpedoes with push pulse engines, to cripple your ship even if you won, but in my limited combat experience they...

Content is actually created by you. SM is a sandbox. That means it has game rules designed to offer you a frame in which YOU paint. Said rules vary wildly from version to version so unless you want to play multiplayer, I suggest you start with an older version, something that doesn't start with...

Strengths: - Sandbox (total freedom) in choosing your purpose in this game. Money, power, women, slaves/NPCs ... wait, no women yet, but, who knows what future may bring? - Sandbox (total freedom) in choosing HOW to pursue your goals in this game. Just for military power there are...

Come on, it's unplayable for many other reasons... Game UI scaling is the least important of them, in my personal opinion.

Yeah. IF I had some money, it would be easy to set-up a nostalgic server for my version and I bet by posting it in these forums I'll find some people who think like me and would come and play. But since I don't have the money, I'll have to wait for someone else to think like me first, then join...
