To my understanding, the plan is to tie sensor detection to the tiering sizes used for chambers, both in detection and sensing. They just haven't yet made it so ships at a lower tier size are inherently harder to detect etc.

I've heard reports of regular beam ignoring shields (and seen it in the dev builds) across sectors, not sure if that was fixed. Sector boundaries are always glitchy in this game.

They should just do acid damage so you can have one mega beam of salvage, really. It'd leave less patterning while mining.

Tested with one of my weapons testbeds in 0.201.130 and it's working fine for me, punching large holes in a test target at point blank range, the holes following where I aimed.

Collision damage is a thing. It's a little oversensitive, but it's on by default now. Also, any kind of survival resources would be preferable to the current random pirate attacks, as it would create a pressing need for some sort of anchoring to shelter with a bit less frustration/lockout...

I think buffs and debuffs are the wrong way to go. People would just build bases atop them and mine away the entire ground, living on a molten ball with a stone throne. The thing that planets bring that nothing else can, aside of natural gravity, is life. Basically, I think certain resources...

Small problem for me: SMEdit simply doesn't start after clicking its start button. No idea why, must be some kind of immediate fatal error. Happens on both my desktop (Fedora Linux) and laptop (Ubuntu Linux) and on a friend's computer(Windows...7 I think).

I find even 100m long can be "big" when you've got both a lot of interiors and exterior detail to work with. This game has a great build mode and all, but trying to create curvature with the 1/4 step system and making hallways and stairs work to existing plans is a bit of a nightmare sometimes.

This whole chassis idea just doesn't mesh with StarMade's building style. It'd make more sense to just have a special block you connect to the core that marks the ship as a surface vehicle. Wheels are a nightmare when collision damage exists; just look to Space Engineers for some absolute fun...

You're replying to a post from three years ago, shields have been reworked since, so I doubt the information is still accurate.

Unfocused fire has never been useful in my experience. It really should just go. Volley fire is nice, cannon-cannon is just a tad weak.

I think you missed a key part of my post, this is comparing the game to Minecraft. You may say that's an unfair comparison, but the fact of the matter is that the reduced scale of Minecraft helps it in numerous ways by making individual items/discoveries far more important. Ask yourself: If you...

There are many things that would breathe new life into the game. Comparing to Minecraft: Starting location is empty and unhelpful (just a shop for you to buy stuff from) So is most everywhere, interesting things are veeeeery far apart, making exploration less rewarding Trader NPCs are okay, but...

That's a bug, which I've seen once in the dev builds, and I guess made it to release.

Beams are very high DPS at close range. It's not recommended to let anything using them get close.

The extra funny part of that joke is that there are several possible punchlines including 13 loaves, 1 loaf and 12 stolen eggs, ERROR MISSING TOKEN AFTER 'twelve', etc.. Anyways, I look forward to the next update, it seems like this one has some pretty rough edges. It's at a point where I am...

Incorrect, I was having ships fully self-destruct yesterday due to capacity blocks with negative integrity after fiddling with an established design with all the rechargers in one solid group.

Recoil view movement is ass. Applying force to shooter and shootee is all that should happen, and it should just impart a torque based on how off it is from the center of mass. This arbitrary changing of the cannon ship's viewpoint upwards is a source of extra lag problems that feels annoying to...

Yep, that's what happens. The damage from integrity collapses I think does little mini-explosions, which can then destroy the integrity of other nearby systems. Makes for a lag-inducing cascade of death. Basically, isolate your systems from one another and pay attention to the reported...

It only does it through shields for shield integrity, however. Low thruster integrity, for example, won't matter until one is actually damaged.
