      Why I think the power system update shouldn't upset us so much

      I don't know if I can fairly judge if the power system is broken or not, but I can and will judge that the current system is counterintuitive and boring. That's a problem for a game people play for fun. The idea of having a deeper and more complex mini game where I get to design a spaceship...

      How many people are still build vs waiting for new power

      I'm still going, my ships are in all in the 1ok to 60K mass range, so a full system refit takes me all of an evening or two. Even without a maj0r change in power systems I'll rework the systems two or three times before I'm satisfied with the ship. The interesting part for me is pushing what I...

      Cake Build Server - The Most Delicious Build Server [Whitelist]

      I knew there was a Shutdown command, but I was uncertain if there was a restart component to such a command. Hence my reluctance to test such a thing on a server that I have some admin rights on, but am most certainly not an admin of, without permission. I had assumed there would be a program...

      Cake Build Server - The Most Delicious Build Server [Whitelist]

      I believe the server could use a restart, Postosis and I have been getting an odd bug where our ships lose all their energy every few seconds and I've also had trouble getting my turrets to engage targets in combat tests. Is there a restart command? And is it permissible for a regular user of...

      StarMade Surprise Update

      I gathered some hints from the other responses, but it was worth the effort to figure out the password! :)

      KSN FG-2 Tisiphone - KSN FG-2B Tisiphone

      1. I moved the flare pod to the port and starboard mounts of the engineering hull. During a practice duel I noticed that my own AMS was accidently killing flare. 2. Minor improvement to the forward port and starboard extended mount AMS. 3. Changed the guard rail on the ladder going below...

      Easiest Answer for PvP: Flag of Peace

      A pvp flag like WOW wouldn't be a bad idea as a server config option, but for the most part you can set up non-pvp areas using the protected sector admin command. GenXNova runs the spawn sector as protected and has a pair of gates nearby, one to take you to an entirely PVE oriented protected...

      KSN FG-2 Tisiphone - Cameras and Flares

      I added 3 more cameras above the bridge and in the EW mast, swapped out the two forward Mk8 Heavy Phalanx for a Mk12 Quad Flare Pod (4 Missiles, 4 Cannon, 4 Overdrive), and added a 7th bed to match the duty stations. As a bonus, the flare pod would make an excellent anti personnel weapon :P...

      ASDF DD-1 Empyrean Lancer - Pierce to Punch Missiles

      Just traded out the pierce effect on the plasma missiles for punch due to pierce being rebalanced a couple updates back. If you have these ships in your catalog, the DD-3 would be the old versions and the DD-6 would be the updated model.

      Best weapon type for mass destruction?

      The weapons I typically use for my primary batteries are Missile-Beam-Punch, Cannon-Cannon-Punch, Beam-Cannon-Punch, and Beam-Beam-Ion. Which three I use is dependant on what roll I envisioned for the ship, but I've found dividing the volume of blocks you have by roughly 1/3 and allocating 1/3...

      Solutions to "Build Block" / Creative Block

      If I'm stuck, which usually happens just after I finish a ship (as I am now ;)). I'll start with the concept of what I want my next ship to be, and I'll spend a fair amount of time looking through google search images of starships with different tags (cruiser, battleship, corvette, frigate...

      Revert Advanced Build mode / slabs

      I disagree with reverting to the old system. I tend to use far more 1/4 slabs then any others, and it's really handy just having them ready to go in the scroll menu. I find the new system much more efficient to use. I suppose the code is still around for the old system, maybe a selectable...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      I'm totally on board with revamping the power systems! Almost any other minigame I can think of would better then the current minigame of running a mess of spaghetti noodle power lines through a ship, and then cramming a giant capacitor tank inside. Anything that makes the game more interesting...
