Well, I have some games via Steam and some via the originators distributions, like StarMade or KSP for instance, and as far as I can see there's not much difference between the two. Steam obviously has a disadvantage when your Internet connection is flaky or fails often, but otherwise it's just...

Nice, time to see if the salvage beams of my little harvester are still up to their task. ;) Greets, Jan

You could of course chain a slave cannon array to the salvage computer and keep on salvaging, that's what I do for now. Actually I did that anyhow already before the salvaging broke in the latest release. ;) Greets, Jan

Okay, I can see that is logical and intended behavior, but I still think the automatic charging should only start in flight-mode, not in build-mode as it is the case now. I can imagine one wants to put the scan modules, the antenna, somewhere inaccessible, while not all power blocks are in place...

The use of scanners has puzzled me slightly too. In build mode they seem to be activated as soon as you link up a module to the scanning computer, what can result in running out of power immediately while building. I presume this is a glitch. In flight mode you can add the scanner to the...

It's a little like the shopping mall, sales all year round. ;) Greets, Jan

Well, I was mining an asteroid the other day minding my own business when suddenly I was surrounded by ships. I half and half expected to be blown to smithereens, but it was a convoy of traders, no pirates as I feared. ;) I can assure you I didn't spawn them in, I never use administrator...

This is my take on playing as well. When there's a new version with great changes like recently with the 0.18xx release I start a fresh single-player universe and begin collecting what's needed from the default start. In other words every block is either bought, crafted, or looted, no...

Every one to two minutes is quite often. My experience is much more sporadic and probably very location dependent. There was another thread some time and versions ago where I mentioned that, while mining an asteroid, it seemed that its blocks jumped position slightly from time to time and the...

Ah right, so it's normal that it doesn't show in the inventory just like 'normal' glass. In that case I have to refurbish the bridge of my harvester with crystal to get it up to specs I suppose. ;) Thanks for the info gents. Greets, Jan

Hi All, Since version 0.1807 we have besides hull, standard and advanced armor also crystal advanced armor blocks. What puzzles me about these is that they don't seem to show any texture when placed in the inventory or plexboxes. I haven't used any of them yet so I don't know how and if they...

Hmm, it depends what you call stutter. I've had the experience that in some parts of space when flying the view suddenly jumps position slightly. I also had a targeted pirate that was in my front view more then once suddenly jump to a side in one frame, very noticeable because of the target...

Yup, as far as I found out up till now shop prices vary from base, e.g. 1, to 3 times the base value. In other words it pays to find the higher paying ones to sell your stuff, loot, or whatever you want to call it. ;) What doesn't seem to be implemented yet is that prices drop when the stacks...

Logically items that are bought by shops should go into the economic chain in my opinion, if that does happen at the moment already I don't know. I do know that there are also a lot of block types the shops won't buy from you, I've got a chest with at least twelve different kinds of earth that...

Hmm, this depends what happens with the restocking of shops from time to time. I haven't yet noticed that happening in my universe, but it could very well be the maxed out stocks are taken away as well. I've seen lots of trader movements and convoys already of more then ten ships in my system...

Hmm, don't know the prices over where you live, but over here 6 dollar US is about two to three glasses of beer from the pump in the pub, hardly something to think about for an already nice game environment like StarMade. ;) Greets, Jan

Hmm, as long as they don't contain the word 'exterminate' they could be from any science fiction novel or publication I've read over the years, but I'll take your word for it. :D Greets, Jan

Yes, although those guys with only 5xx of something are cheapskates, how about 936 computers, now that's money in the bank. ;) But, all in all you're right and maybe if it was one stack of something valuable, well okee, but five to ten of them is a but much... To come back to the spawn rate of...

Hmm, I think the contents is quite random generated at the moment and I suspect that just landing on a planet with 'man' made structures and looting the plexbox there will be a thing of the past as soon as NPC civilizations are introduced. Something I hope will be invoked over time. Obviously I...

I'm almost sure distribution of asteroids is a random event. At the moment I'm hunting for Dolom that seems nowhere to be found. ;) Greets, Jan
