      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Haha, I ended up abandoning that (egg) shell completely and trying to make a slightly more spaceshippy style shape. I have to say, the end result looks.. I will probably have to go with.. Hilarious...

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Okay, I need some help folks. I need to make some nice curves on a commission project. However, so far, it looks utterly dire. I am essentially just trying to make a sort of...egg...ish... shape. I started with an outline frame like this: But since then, filling in the front (far side)...

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Oh look, I've found a picture of the first ship I ever made in Starmade! Mine is the one at the back... This was obviously before I realised you had to protect the core! I remember at the time, the three other people I tried it with had much smaller ships. Mine looked all looming and daunting...

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Ah yes, I never really posted a decent set of pcs of my Mk II Coburn's Manufactory, but it was plenty big. I only really automated hull production mind. Are you guys keen on seeing all the logic that goes into it, or are you just thinking I might make pretty little buildings? :)

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Right noobies. I'm back from holiday and the competitions are over and the new Ragnarok server is allegedly up. Also, several new versions and hotfixes since my last pics, so time for me to get back into the ring. Now, since this thread was aimed to encourage 'new' builders to realise not...

      Community Fleet Contest Results!

      Gents, perhaps this line of conversation best taken to PM. Maybe we should focus on the positive about 77 entries that won it, not look for flaws. The staff may tweak anything they think I erroneous but more importantly, this is a place where we should be congratulating winners. :D

      Congratulations to an impressive 77 fleet entries for making it in! That is going to be a lot of variety added to the future neighbourhood. :) Clearly going to have to up the quality of my own builds. Next Competition, maybe. :D

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Awww, now when I get one of the officials telling me I'm not the worst thing in the universe, I get all shy and starstruck. :p I'm a big fan of all your colouring in and infographics Kupu, sir.. m'lord... *bows and chants "we're not worthy" * More ships coming in July. Thinking maybe something...

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Quick update: went to version .146 and the corners in all my internals went black, so look rubbish. Plus, they just added consoles and pipes, so my internals are way outdated. Work may continue in the future if the lighting gets sorted, but for now, the capital ship isn't going to get any more...

      StarMade Active Development Timeline

      Yeah I have to say, my explore queue I Steam keeps sending me sandbox games that have some much better graphics, an proper shapes and terrains and stuff, but all full of negative reviews and unhappy punters who wished they had their £1.99 back... I have long been frustrated that all we've had...

      Well, the only thing I can think of that might make people quit, would be because once you've built your space ship and uber-dock, there is not much more to do except Mine, process and build more. That is obviously where servers come in and the owners having to do a lot of work to make servers...

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Waaaait a minute.. holy crap is 2 words... :p You're very kind, but there's no reason you can't build like this or better. Just give yourself a chance and work your way up from a simple ship to something sexier. That's the point of this thread, the big ships don't come straight away. :)

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Heh heh, to be fair I had been in game a while by then, just never really finished a ship I was building a massive one, but got so bored I eventually gave up, because the behemoth, called "Mother 1" was so fragging ridiculous. But encouraging noobs requires humble sip builds to start with, to...

      Dannage Fleetyards: Poor Advice For Noobs

      Capital ship is draining my will to live. So far she's on just over 20k mass... Original plan was that this was 'cruiser' and I might build a 'battleship' after... But no... For I will crack should I try... And also so will my computer.

      Sorry, earlier when I references WoWP I thought that was some daft way of abbreviating world of warships without offending blizzard... Didn't realise there was a plane one as well.. Meatball Marinara delivering missile loads to your door with a smile.

      I haven't played the tanks one. My friend figured WoWP was beer for me... Think its because I'm a slow thinker... :)

      StarMade v0.198.146 Tutorial Videos & New Lighting

      Yes, but the beta launchers shows a .146 and a .146 (latest) which means they don't increment the last three digits for hot fixes. Not sure why not, we do that at work when we launch fixes to releases, but hey ho. I have no idea if .146 (latest) fixes your issue with slabs or if they found...
