      Any tips on how to be organized?

      I toss everything but crafting resources into one massive container, and then use the "filter by text" line to bring what I'm looking for to the top of the pile. Just like creative mode, but with more finite resources.

      Is it possible to flip a ship around the core?

      Depending on the size of the ship, you may be able to copy and paste the entire thing or, as I've had to do a few times, divide the ship into sactions and slowly copy and paste each section over. You can also use that technique to move your ship core if you decide you don't like where you put it...

      Weapon systems acting weird

      I had the same problem a few days ago in my single player creative universe, cannons were firing and registering hits, but wouldn't do any damage. I had to move to the NFD build server to finish the weapon testing I had started.

      Latest Dev Video: Going Back to Strip Mined Systems?

      I also assume that the asteroid regeneration would resume if you booted the NPC faction out of the system. Instead of thinking of the NPC as strip mining a system and leaving it barren, maybe it's best to think of it more as they have a super efficient mining operation going through regularly...

      How do you make AMS turrets look good?

      How do you make AMS turrets sexy? Is that even possible? I'm trying to upgrade the AMS array on my current WIP ship to twin barreled turrets, and I'm having a hell of a time making them look good. I can nail functional, no problem, I just can't them to look decent. Hmm, Has anyone made a quad...

      Where do you put the pilot seat on a mining ship?

      By pilot seat do you mean where you sit and access the core? Depending on if it's military ship or a civilain ship, I tend to bury the pilot seat 3/4 or 1/2 way back along the Z axis from the front of the ship, relatively centered on both the X and Y access in the middle of main engineering...

      Incentives to Expansion (Anti-Turtling)

      I like the experience idea, you're crew gets less experience if they're in a a system you control, but there has to something interesting out there to go look at or else you're just flying in circles grinding crew exp, and that isn't fun. Right now, the only reason I've even flown halfway across...

      Pirate spawning- keeping them from

      A button would be nice, agreed, but there is an option in the config file to turn off pirates. Look for ENEMY_SPAWNING = true in the config and change it to ENEMY_SPAWNING = false.

      Importing your favorite ship hulls per request (1 a month)

      Trekyard is great! I pay for Youtube Red and Google Play, and they're one of a handful of channels I'll queue up at work on my earbuds to listen to as I go through my usual routine. I learned today that the Sovereign class ship was actually a federation version of a battleship and the Akira...

      Anyone like the idea of only building in shipyards I don't

      No, I do not want Starmade to go Shipyard only. First, I enjoy the freedom of being able to build where ever I have blocks available. Secondly, and more importantly, the shipyard effect for virtual blocks has the dubious honor of being one of only two things in video games that makes me...

      shields

      Well, the capabilities of Star Trek ships vary WILDLY depending on what the writers need to happen. The Defiant had a special attribute that the Klingon and Romulan warships didn't, it's a very special and rare system called "Designated Badass ship for Main Characters". Still being tankier than...

      Help Designing Potent Turret system for Huge 3km ship

      Well, I'm not as confident as you are that your comp and server can handle that, but that is solidly between you and the server admins. Maybe with the chunk update, that's not as impossible as it might sound. I would recommend taking a look at Criss the Nightbringers channel on youtube, he...

      Hull Material and Thickness?

      So it's possible to go super thick on the front, which is something I've been starting to do anyways. Just not to the point where a 70m long ship has 15m of advanced armor on the front :p I've also been adding 5m thick advanced bulkheads that divide my ships into sections from bow to stern...

      Hull Material and Thickness?

      What do people use for the basic hull/spaceframe of ships and how thick do you lay it on? And more specifically, I'm starting work on my next ship which will be a large heavy cruiser/drone assault carrier based on the Battlefleet Gothic Dictator Shell Encoded put on the docks a while ago. The...

      Survival and RP oriented blueprint list and categorisation into levels

      Personally, I love helping new player figure out concepts, take a look at the ridiculously long posts I've put on CubicPlays Youtube channel to answer questions he had as he was checking out the game and filming :P . Getting the tutorial station working properly would be huge, I tried going...
