      Ship building question

      A cube ship will have a disadvantage turning against a ship that would fit inside it but is thinner or shorter. I have seen time and again form designed ships royally trounce function designed cubics of the same mass. Its all in mass distribution and system design. Got the heaviest heavy...

      Should the game have rpg skill elements?

      We can hope right? Things look very bright in this games future. I definitely agree on RPG elements being an option. Perhaps with scalable returns (slower or faster xp gains) and a toggle for servers who choose not to use it. As for the actual system or implementation? No idea how that will be...

      Starmade Ultra hardcore

      I want one galaxy available to players on my server, and the ability to by choice expand to others. Not 9 quadrillion.

      TheSmelter Premium Hosting | Stellar Performance | DDR4/SSD | Ram Based | StarMade Dock Discount

      Been running stable and secure with The Smelter for over a year. I've never waited more than a few hours for a support response, and someone on their team always has the answer I need. Even their "non-dedicated" servers have extreme performance, hosting 20+ reliably at 2-6 ram. Most Starmade...

      A Manifesto on Fuel, Balancing, and Various Play Styles

      Ok, by definition it is a fraction. A decently sized one too. I know what you mean though, hundreds of active servers now in play make for a much larger pot. One host company started 50 or so new servers since steam release.

      Ragnarok Galaxy, Persistent RP, Dangerous Reavers, Active Community

      You along with way over half our players. Even some of our admins came with zero to start. Its pretty easy as long as you remember what you type is your astronaut avatar speaking and not "you".

      Ragnarok Galaxy, Persistent RP, Dangerous Reavers, Active Community

      I like questions, and there's no question about the server that is totally out of bounds to ask (that I can think of) Logistics. More than most servers, certainly. Other Rp servers likely have the same level here. We do add some rules that make it more prevalent as well. Home bases are...

      Instakilled the second I leave my Home World

      While I agree with you in general, there are currently only testers, not customers (this is totally my opinion and not schines, I know they're trying to care for their customers as such). Even people who purchase the game are tester/contributors more so than customers. While I would love for...

      Instakilled the second I leave my Home World

      While it might scare off new players, they should have realized that its an alpha. Its an excuse, but a legitimate one. Know what you're getting into and its not nearly as scary.

      Minecraft in Space?

      Ummm, no. There is of course the shooty shooty and ships, but it is meant to encompass crafting and survival too. The full shooty experience is either with creative-like block spawning or survival play generated ships. I agree the tone and style is totally different, but it is meant to be a...

      Ahh, gotcha. Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.

      Inter-Server PVP Tournament 2014 [SERVER OWNERS]

      There was no promotion going on, only answering questions. As to npcs, they were never mentioned as taking part in the battle. Originally you were leaving ship size limits up to host server, has that changed? In any case. Totally still prefer to be part of this one than try and run my own...

      New power generator setup? *UPDATED*

      It was changed back to big groups rather than line arrays.

      "I Got Mined!"

      I have a good voice I am told. I also have the flu and would be unlikey to make it through a verse without projectile coughing a lung at my mic. Not to mention sounding gravelly with phlegm to begin with.

      Why do Missile/Pulse Weapons destroy docked cores inside the ship?

      Wrong? Probably not, I heard it was fixed in dev. Or failing that, I bet the HP mechanics make it a non issue.

      An analysis of the relationship between planets, faction interactions and resource acquisition.

      I've already said I love your ideas. I have to disagree with two of your "facts" because they aren't. Planets do not naturally/are not supposed to "respawn". Also, I enjoy mining quite a bit and know a few others who do.

      What will the new HP system entail?

      If they release it it'll just split the community again along lines of "this is how it should work". People will leave because they don't like it even though the have not (and might refuse to) tried it. Want to build for the next update? Wait for it to release or become an active build tester. I...

      Inter-Server PVP Tournament 2014 [SERVER OWNERS]

      Seems so. Ill be running a single weight class single elimination tournament on Ragnarok. If other servers would like to join in that'd be great too, as we can split up the tiers between servers. Thread incoming when I get a bit of time free to write. Most likely January or February of 2015.
