      What do you listen to while playing StarMade?

      If I can't stay up too late, nothing, if I'm free to get in the zone and just go to 6 AM, I'll put on google play with either one of the progressive trance stations or my own eclectic mix of thumbed up Future Pop, Trance, ED, Aggrotech and Indie Rock :P

      Turrets undocked and my ship is 300 sectors away(fleets)

      Yeah, you're going through the sector bug glitch, if your station is in one sector, but the docking point you're attaching your ship to is built out far enough to be in a different sector, weird things happen. I ran into this with my very first single player station and it drove me absolutely...

      How much time do you need to build ships below 100m?

      For me, being a slow builder with a very high OCD factor, I would spend at least a few days and closer to a month to build a good looking 100M long ship. The 2.2K mass light patrol craft I build for the fleet contest which is pretty much a roomy heavy fighter took me 10 days, and the 5K mass...

      Could Fighters Get a Buff?

      I can see both sides here, the single fighter getting through and taking out the big bad makes for a good story or cinematic moment, but isn't a good idea for something like SM. Instead of 50x 200 block fighters, have you thought about 50x 2000 block fighters, or 50x 20,000 block fighters? In...

      What is the Avg block count for ships

      I've built ships that range from 9 TBC (total block count) up to the 450,000 TBC of my current WIP. Personally, I get the most enjoyment out of building ships between 50,000 and 250,000 blocks. So by my classification system, I enjoy building Corvettes (4-8K mass), Frigates (10-15K mass), and...

      First time you attacked a pirate station?

      My first real attempt at taking out a pirate station was with one of my first ships, a 4K mass "light cruiser" made primarily out of grey hull, had maybe 20K shields, 4x 50 Block Missile Turrets, and a power setup that could barely move the thing, let alone support the 500 or so block...

      Trilix Shadow-Class Dreadnaught

      Good luck to both your determination and your computer (But mostly to your poor computer who has no idea what you have in mind and whats coming :p) ! I'm way to OCD when it comes to small details, and between that and my gaming time, if I started a 2 km ship now, I won't be done for the next...

      range increase from slaved beam computers question.

      You also gain rate of fire, while each salvo is less effective, you have less time for cooldown and it's easier on your power systems to handle. Large Missile-Beam systems have a fantastic range, but they also have a huge power cost!

      range increase from slaved beam computers question.

      The wiki doesn't have the exact numbers, but I believe it's dependant on the primary weapon group and it's more than just 2x. I'm playing on a server that requires turrets to have a max range of 2 sectors for lag reasons, and I had to rework my Cannon-Beam-Punch turrets and Missile-Beam turrets...

      Thermite is Fun!

      I'm not saying you should or should not have this system on a fighter, I've just been saying I want it to be balanced to where the risk/reward decision is requires some careful thought. That's all :p . I think the idea of a high-risk high damage bomber is pretty cool, both if you manage to blow...

      StarMade Ship Size Comparison Chart

      Ok, the Starmade Community Ship Size chart *in Mr Torgue voice* HAS TO BE ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I'VE SEEN ON THIS FORUM!!!! EXPLOSIONS!!! *catches breath, realizes he won't be talking for an hour or two while voice recovers* Yes, i'm overly tired to be internetting and feeling kind of...

      Thermite is Fun!

      Not a bad thing per se, just not as interesting from a game mechanic point. Obviously, if you're building a large ship there really isn't a choice, you're going to use them and armor the hell out of your reactors, but if the risk is so minimal, there's no reason to not use them in a fighter, the...

      Thermite is Fun!

      I'm going to wait and see how it's implemented to decide. I wouldn't mind a having a choice between the standard low yield reactors we have now and a higher yield yet more dangerous reactor. I could see having a standard +2 million safe reactor and a few pockets of highly armored and carefully...

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

      Final request, I swear, do you have access to the model of any of the the Heavy Cruisers from the Homeworld series? I'd personally prefer the one from the first game, but any will suffice. Around 400 M long would be about perfect :D . And am I interested in the imperial dreadnought? Yes, yes...

      Hey Schine! Thanks for...

      The game I've wanted since I was 12 years old! That was around the time I got the Star Trek: Technical Manual for christmas and I would break out my legos and make star trek ships with full interiors and crew it with the tiny 1x1x1 lego bits color coded for crew. I'm sure I was a pain in the...

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

      I'd be interested in the Starmade equivalent of any of the Battlefleet Gothic Armada models you feel like putting on the docks as well! If you're willing, I'd love to get a sword class destroyer in the 300-400 meter long range and a Dauntless Light Cruiser in the 600 meter long range :D I...

      Any Survival Server Recommendations?

      I work 2nd shift, so my Starmade time is between 1 am and 4 am Central US TIme/GMT -5 or -6 depending on the time of year. I don't mind playing on a European server if there are people online when I am :) .

      Any Survival Server Recommendations?

      Does anyone have any recommendations for a good survival server to join? A place with a friendly community, a lack of griefing, dangerous pirates, and a mining bonus would be nice. I'm far more interested in PVE then PVP as my gaming time is pretty limited and I know how badly I'd be squashed...

      Crashing in Build Mode

      I've wondered if it was a hardware or software problem. It's pretty much lights out for my computer when it happens, like someone hit the master switch on the back of the power supply and turned it back on. With single player I could start a different world that would play fine for 3-4...

      Crashing in Build Mode

      I have a logstarmade.0 file, but it does not have a .log on it. There is no careful manual shutdown of SM. My computer says NOPE! and abruptly turns off :p . This is the file from my last crash at 4 am this morning. I also have 3 other small logstarmade files from earlier crashes that night. You...
