      Would you be okay with a game engine change for Starmade?

      Not a suggestion, hence why not in suggestions thread. Just curious to see how the community would react if such an announcement was made. Let us not argue or debate this hypothetical scenario. It's about your opinion on the subject and not about changing each others minds or telling people...

      Rotative Decorative Blocks

      Agree, any block that does not have a seamless texture should be rotatable if they aren't already. Rarely use them myself. I'm more function and external detail over internal detail and decoration, but I can see why people who like going nuts on details would want them. Also some corner textures...

      Rejected Hull blocks as Cubes or slabs, player slab creation.

      Guessing the block thing is a Java limit? Seen games like 7 Days to Die on Unity that have a bunch of different shapes, like curved pipe joints and more, actual models in the cube space. Man I love StarMade but so hate Java as a gaming platform.

      StarMade News - November 9th 2015

      I am not saying build a perfect replica, it's to stress the point of system sizes/scale and block counts vs performance. Really is it that hard to grasp what I am getting across here? Honestly feels like I am saying the sky is blue, but everyone is replying as if I have said it is red...

      StarMade v0.19498 Slabs & New Blocks

      Nice addition but I'll get excited when other block shapes are also done. Been eagerly awaiting wedges to help make better non-stepped hulls. Also any plans to make textures scale correctly along the edges?

      StarMade News - November 9th 2015

      I understand the game is constantly changing and we need to allow for that. I do get Early Access game is early access game. But you've seemed to miss my main point. Which is not my ship get's weaker or stronger or whatever, but which is the current block counts on many ships is high, way too...

      StarMade News - November 9th 2015

      Not sure about that, many I know have salvagers on their 'battleships' to loot their kills. (I like to build mode salvage ships myself and have storage for loot, both for player and pirate kills.) But I do agree many aren't going to make larger ships, they're just going to sacrifice systems or...

      StarMade News - November 9th 2015

      I'm also concerned for how storage will work. Our factions one of the largest on our server and we're going to require decent storage space for each player. This is going to drastically change our stations design and might even make it redundant. Not so bad if we only had one or 2 players, but...

      With the increases required for space on ships, for cargo and soon AI crews, I think it's high time Schine looked at reducing the amount of blocks required for systems. I had suggested in another post that a way to do this is for example increase the mass and cost of blocks so say 1 block weighs...

      The Leviathan - UNSC Marathon Class Heavy Cruiser

      It's a 1:1 scale give or take a few meters. :D It's being designed around being crewed so the whole faction can go out in it and fulfill different roles all aimed at devastating our enemies. ;) No doubt being so big n chunky it will need a couple of support ships. Hopefully between wookie and I...

      my missile turrets are being weird

      Ciaran, with the information you're providing, or not providing as is the case here, nobody can help you.Take some screen shots or upload the blueprint as spunkie requested. If you'd done so you'd probably have a solution to your issues already. In game F5 and F6 take screenshots with and...

      Read by Schine Suggestion: Practical Alternative To Player-Races

      Because hey if Schine stores your skins, then they can do things like charge players for extra slots going by what I have read. I honestly think the only reason a skin server as they're suggesting is being considered is to cash in on it. As has been stated, skins can be stored locally or on a...

      Bug Pirates / Trading Fighters not spawning

      When you get the transmission message fly to one of the sector corners. (Remember everything is a cube in Starmade including sectors and systems.) keep flying to each corner of the sector and watch your nav, and you may be able to find the pirate. Seems they spawn miles away from where they...

      Way to disable or limit loot clouds?

      Any way to either disable or limit loot clouds? Server I am playing on the admins got pirates sort of working, and the pirates themselves are good enough loot, problem is they are dropping insane sized loot clouds. Can see this becoming a massive balance problem very quickly. As everyone can...

      Bug AI Mobs Spawning Strangeness

      I think this is just starmade for you. I'll be amazed when the AI isn't doing weird stuff :D Server we're on, admin managed to fix pirates to spawn and fight, but they still spawn at a random corner outside the pirate stations sector and nav range so you have to go hunting for them. (waves are...

      Exactly how do faction points work?

      Yeah that is about all I already know about them. Been playing this game for a while and nobody seems to go zero with points or into the negative. Killing enemies doesn't seem to work that great (especially when everyone remains docked 24/7 it can be hard to get a fight going..... StarMade the...

      Exactly how do faction points work?

      Okay can someone link me to something that explains in more detail about how faction points work? 2 official sources I can find don't provide a lot of info. https://starmadepedia.net/wiki/Faction#Faction_Points http://star-made.org/news/starmade-dev-update-introducing-faction-points Wiki says...

      What's the point of factions being shown on your GUI?

      I'm fine with visible factions myself, otherwise the problem becomes a case of needle in a hay stack when locating people. After all it is only the invincible homebase that is shown. Outposts undocked ships etc have to be located by the player. So there is plenty to explore in that regard. I...
