For those of you who aren't a part of the discussions on the topic of emergent tech that take place here I will describe what a 'chain drive' is and what all the hubbub is about. A chain drive utilizes the (around) 23 second maximum charge time of a jump drive computer by having a large number...

It's good to see some people haven't changed. Consistency is usually a good quality. So is being topical. If you folks want a good place to toss tantrums about I assure you there are far better places than here. Let's keep this thread rolling on track. Bogdan let me know if you need the thread...

Finally working on a new fleet. Maybe this time I'll finish one.

I use OBS as well. It lives up to it's reputation; awesome, if a bit more complicated settings-wise. Once I learned what does what it was easy to set multiple settings for streaming, recording long matches, short gifs, lossless capture, etc. If you are willing to put a good amount of time and...

...Again? C'mon folks, there's gotta be something you can talk about without getting into internet slappy fights. As for the original post, there are a couple of other things should be taken into account when wondering why Starmade's population is the way it is. I'll put them in list format...

None of the defensive effects have active negatives. Well, besides the blocks used and power upkeep. EMP weaponry does deal less block and shield damage in return for dealing up to twenty times the weapon's damage in energy drain. It is the offensive uses of these effects which have downsides...

Communication issues abound! Especially with the in-game descriptions. Ion passive does not and has never in any live version increased the amount of block damage received. If that were the case it would show up on the blockbehaviorconfig file. However it has always reduced the damage weapons it...

*Sigh* Again? (#34) I'm just popping in here to say 'Keep it cool, folks!' before any more people lose their cool over how to tie shoelaces or what color shirt is best or whatever the topic of the week is. In the future, please do show constructive criticism and try to keep an open mind when...

Self-fulfilling 'us vs them' mindset aside, seems the thread has jumped towards the topic of homebase invulnerability and whether it is healthy for the PVP scene. I'm... Er, I'm convinced that homebase protection isn't the entire problem. I'm perfectly fine with having a single solid point of...

Aaaand this happens. Welp, time to clean up the thread of off-topic replies. Once more, if you take personal gripes out on the forums you will find your stay here interrupted. Locking thread for clean-up. Edit: Thread cleaned of off-topic replies. Thanks for your patience.

That menu is possibly the best thing I have ever seen in Starmade to date.

This looks okay so far. The four missiles make for a good opening volley, and the long range beam should help zap away shields while the missiles are in flight to insure the impact hurts. Have you thought about applying an ion slave to the beam to specialize it against shielding? It might help...

It's... It's hurricane BOBBY!

My own opinion is that a small ship shouldn't be able to defeat a large ship due to lack of firepower and that a large ship trying to shoot down a small ship with anti-capital weapons will be wasting time with missed attacks and slow turret traverse (which should be a thing). Neither side would...

There have been a few folks running some combat tests about this issue as of late. The results of the big vs. small tests leaned towards multiple smaller ships having an advantage so long as their combined mass is at least 1/3 (number is variable depending on ship design and AI competency) that...

Oronoscus and FlyingDebris this is neither the right subforum, forum, or website for this. Please try your very best to keep things on topic.

A lot of the hostility on the site can be tracked down to specific people or groups of people who operate on a different culture or mindset than the forum commons. As a moderator we can't ban 'em all "just because" but they do have a habit of crossing lines and are eventually removed for...

Howdy and welcome! If you have any questions regarding site rules or whatnot feel free to toss them at me.

With a new war, a new update, and a hint that the next few will be awesome, consider my day brightened.

Structure is separate from the block's own health. Armor gives 5 structure points, decorations usually give 10, and most systems give 100+. That much (multiplied by the bonus/penalty for amount of system blocks) is removed upon the block's death.
