      Personal Build Challenges you give yourself?

      Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make turrets that have enough firepower to be effective, are compact enough to mount a large number on the ship I'm working on, AND look good. In more general terms, I was rewatching Raiben's "We all have to start somewhere" , and I want to go from...

      World doesn't load?

      Nice! My faction had changed to Unknown Faction, but the universe loaded. Thanks! Although, I am curious how chatchannels.tag can mess up a universe? :)

      World doesn't load?

      Last night I was having some trouble with Starmade crashing last night around midnight, and after the last crash, when I try to load my primary single player universe, it hangs on the initializing universe part of the load screen. I started a new world, and that one loads just fine. To be...

      Rail Mass Enhancers

      Is your bobby AI module on the Battery itself or the mount? Another thing to check is to make sure the ship cores in the mount and battery are facing the same direction. If that doesn't help, are you willing to detach the turret assembly, save it as a blueprint, upload it to the dock, and drop a...

      Isanth Update & Building onto Competition idea

      They gave me trouble for about a week when I started playing. However, once I put together an incredibly poorly designed 4k mass "Light Cruiser" that had barely enough power to run a few 50 Missile 50 Beam Turrets, I had a nice little 5 km no fly zone to keep myself safe and figure out the game...

      A Request for Turret Advice

      The Petey style is what I'm currently experimenting with, a barrel on a ball turret type mounting system recessed into an 11x10x11 block non-moving support structure. I want to put the power system, rail mass enhancers, shields and a small amount of thrusters into a standardised support...

      A Request for Turret Advice

      Thanks, I watched Raiben's review of your heavy corvette, and you mentioned your medium turrets are 6K Mass. Do you mind if I ask the mass of your light and heavy turrets and what kind of firepower you have crammed in them? Feel free to claim top secret if you want to keep that info classified :)

      A Request for Turret Advice

      I want to build a light cruiser with a crazy number of turrets (40+) divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary batteries. Essentially, I want to build the Starmade equivalent of an American WW2 light or heavy cruiser. Part of why I want to do this, is because I have a hard time building...

      [Philoshopy] Why do we keep trying to build something pretty ?

      With the amount of time I have for gaming, it takes me weeks :P .When I said "build something cool", it's not just about a complete ship, but a nifty logic device, a BA looking turret, or even just detailing an engine nozzle all count in my book :)

      [Philoshopy] Why do we keep trying to build something pretty ?

      Because making something easy, ugly, and powerful just isn't fun for me. If the game was just about min/maxing a death cube, I wouldn't be interested in playing. I like sitting down for a few hours after I get off, turn on some relaxing music, and push some cubes around to see if I can make...

      TSS DD-2 Harvest of Fire Version 172017

      The Harvest of Fire is the first in the new Ares Aerospace line of Flammidemmia Class Armored Missile Destroyers. This variant was designed with an assault role in a low to midrange threat environment. This vessel is perfect for the government, Corporation, or warlord (we don't judge!) on a...

      StarMade Development Direction

      Awesome! As a newish player to Starmade I was a little concerned I was coming in on the wrong side of the bell curve. I'm relieved to know big plans are on the way!
