      Are USD really USD?

      I use USD style docks on my airlock, but they're recessed a bit from my ship bounding box. If I intend to dock to it, I'll use a docking tube structure on a station.

      A Vaygr Officer's Testimony against the Vaygr Empire

      I gathered from the Vaygr Twitter feed that they were done with Starmade and moved on to Empyrion? The stopped long enough to toss an insult my way for daring to still like Starmade and then declared the twitter account dead.

      power systems 3 types

      Greyscale is referencing the 1st power system proposal. A lot of people, including myself, had reservations on the heat box thing. In the 2nd proposal they dropped the heat box idea. The only thing that loses efficiency if they're too close together is reactors and stabilizers. I don't even...

      Using star system adjacency to provide base protection

      If Starmade goes this route, you'd really need to borrow the Eve online station mechanics. If you break one puter system, the rest could get a temporary invulnerable for a server configurable multi-hour timer before the temp protection resets. Gives both sides a chance to organize and contact...

      Please also contribute on GoG !

      This is slightly off topic, but I love the Starmade gamebox graphic! I remember when games still came in boxes.......

      Head's up on the next dev blog

      No, they said they don't want it to take 5 years, but if it does, it does and they'll keep working on it until the end. ;)

      Sweet! Glad to see this thread hasn't died! I'm afraid I'm taking a bit of a break from SM :cry:. Got my most recent ship 98% wedged and just needed to step away for a bit... :confused:

      Discontent among the ranks...

      You won't have to start over. You'll just have to rework the system blocks on the ships you already have. Shields, thrusters, weapons aren't changing and there will be a transition period where the old power system will still work in conjunction with the new system. You can even change your...

      Kushan Alpha WIP 2017-06-08

      This is a backup/requested upload of the Kushan State Faction homebase off of GXN. Very much rough and ready, somewhat disorganized, but very functional home base. I tend to add a little bit here and there in between ship builds, and I'll update this content as I go forward. This station...

      ship porn

      CC=Community Content, got it! It's not right now, but I'll put it on the docks when I'm done. I still have to wedge half the ship, add proper exterior details besides just plates, finish the engines, and detail 12 decks of interior. Although some of those decks are just single rooms, or...

      CC? I'm not familiar with that term :unsure:. Currently it's on the cake build server and GXN.

      And a more up to date image, I finished filling in most of the systems and got to the fun part :^D! Started detailing by placing the white plating last night. Much easier to see what's going on now.

      I suppose I can drop a little preview here. I wanted to try my hand at another cruiser. The finished block count is probably going to be around 600K. Tempest class armored light cruiser and spatha class destroyer shown for scale.

      StarMade Ship Systems 2.0

      I get why they're going to one reactor per ship. Energy is the one big balancing resource in the game. Each ship is limited by the soft cap, but currently an easy way to get around that is by bringing multiple ships glued together. A central vessel with your thrusters and passive, a docked hull...

      What to call "Tech Points"

      I just started calling them the Specialization Points internally as I was watching the video :-p

      StarMade players and their interests!

      I'm 35 year old and my wife and I live in Iowa with an adorably crazy burmeses miniature giant house panther. Currently I'm working 2nd shift which has left me a lot of time with not a lot to do as everyone I know is asleep by the time I get off. I love sci fi, mostly of the hard and/or...
