      Game Balance Suggestions

      The problem is two fold. One is a lot things in this game require some form of knowledge and most of that is gained through experience as you play. In StarMade that experience usually comes at high costs. Stars in StarMade are rated pretty much as the real stars you see at night. The color from...

      Need some advice on server specs

      Okay first the Titan is really really big like 11x my rebuild of the Stockholm. So it is not weird that the server or any server folds itself backward when this thing moves or engages in combat. The build limit = server CPU limit StarMade likes a strong CPU. It can do with very little RAM...

      Add more Faction News Notifications

      Only if it can be filtered. I am already swimming in tab after tab of done trade deals with the NPC. Hostile Sightings can also get out of hand really quickly.

      Derelict station shooting me?

      Yeah that works well. Though the big turret uses more power for the shots then it can generate on it's own after you undock it. I tend to remove some of the cannon modules to get it power stable.

      Pirates choise of ships

      First make sure the default setting for Pirate use of uploaded Blueprints is turned off. Because else it is going to be a horrible mess to keep track of things. in the server.cfg make sure this line is set to false and restart the server. DEFAULT_BLUEPRINT_ENEMY_USE =false //Default option for...

      Shop Module Difficulties

      If i did not set it like that then they did not trade with me on there own accord. I could set up trades via the TRADE tab and it would be fine. Like force feeding them my blocks for the price they have them listed as as willing to buy. But they would not so to speak come to me and buy if i used...

      Derelict station shooting me?

      You ran into an ETA Derelict Station. The turrets on that one are old but do work. The Bobby AI on them is on. They are neutral but if you shoot them then they will shoot back. The big turret can really hurt. You can before shooting them faction them and then they work for you. The faction...

      Default Install Temp File?

      Try using the old legacy Launcher. It just handles the startup of StarMade and the variables to use. Rather then move the game files everywhere. To use the old legacy Launcher click one of the grey buttons for your System OS. Legacy Launcher Use this thread to check up on the new version 2...

      what hardware detemines how much you can copy and paste

      CPU StarMade is all CPU. It does not need lots of RAM. For big copies extra RAM can help but the CPU has to calculate it to. Once you hit copy on a big copy and your screen freezes then do not alt tab out. Just be patient it might still do the copy after a while.

      Starter Configs

      Better defaults so that hitting the Start Server button does not set it up to fail immediately? Yeah sure! Example from the default server.cfg: DEFAULT_BLUEPRINT_ENEMY_USE = true //Default option for blueprints not in catalog yet Environmentals should be kept at there most minimum for...

      Pulse Megaweapons?

      What i do is have a radar jammed ship. Sneak close. Hit my Jump Inhibitor. Fire the Ion Sabre. Then shove a Nuke without even waiting for a lock right into the Ships Core. Multi Barrel 25+ Nukes some WILL hit even with AMS defence. Where more often then not all the Weapon Computers are. Result...

      Shop Module Difficulties

      Here is some more info. I been toying with shops in getting the NPC to buy my items. The whole setup of shops though is again one of those major pains. That makes you wonder why they did it like this. It isn't intuitive at all. Made worse by the fact that you can not place items in the Shop...

      Pulse Megaweapons?

      Beam + Pulse + Ion or as i like to call it an Ion Sabre. A large version does a lot of Shield damage. It needs a very large powerpool. It can only fire in a small short burst. It is a short range weapon. The reload time is long. But if you can hit your enemy with it then it will often drop...

      What is the point of carriers?

      In Star Wars and the likes X-Wing Fighters can jump through hyperspace as well. Carriers are used there to. Even a puny shuttle can jump through hyperspace in Star Wars. Like Splatthecat says it is all about numbers.

      How to repair the HP of a ship? (COnsole commands or otherwise)

      You can only repair a ship from a premade Blueprint of the undamaged ship. If you are building on single player than make sure you do so in a protected sector or turn AI universe simulation off all together. Now you learned to make Blueprints at regular intervals we have all been there...

      Settings for lowend pcs

      You are missing out on a lot if you let the client render distance be smaller then the space you exist in. The 3 by 3 by 3 sector bubble. Everything also gets very small. You can get more fps by letting a large sector push everything out of your field of view. But it is not the road i would...

      Power drain beam issues....

      Power drain needs power to function. It was used a lot some time ago and got nerfed. You need to scale it up to get better results. That said i never looked into how much power i gained in return. I was more focused on using it to drop my enemies power supply.

      It's impossible to make good figther weapons

      You want the fighter to take down a bigger ship? Against an opponent of the same size that damage is fine. Many use small fighters in fleets to destroy much larger targets. Some are notorious in doing so and feared by many. If you give the fighter a lot of these weapons and enough power to fire...

      Power drain beam issues....

      Slave a Cannon Computer to the Power Drain Computer and add Cannon Modules. The "weapon" has a tick rating that can be a bit fiddly to get right. It is also one of the most powerful tools in StarMade. Many talk about removing a targets shields first. But without power a target can not even...
