      How do you test your creations?

      I like to test against other players ships around the same mass as what im testing, ai vs ai. Because i rarely get to play online anymore, all ive been on is the minimade server. I also use blocks of systems/armor/etc I would prefer to be able to fight against players in controlled tests, just...

      I found a very interesting conversation today

      The thing is the gameplay features they want to implement depend on coding and worldbuilding changes theyre trying to implement right now, which arent seen as gameplay features, but will be necessary in the future. Its not that theyre refusing to do it, but that they want it to work with the...

      Punish power failure with a debuff!

      Still very difficult to get an effective emp system against a ship of similar to your own mass. Usually need to outmass a tagret heavily to get an advantage from using emp or push/pull/stop effects. And at that point its usually just as good to simply bring more missiles, youre bigger than them...

      Minimade baby-sized server [WILL CLOSE ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2017]

      Thank god for that! I just logged in to find I lost my system claim this morning. Only just now got a chance to play.

      Minimade baby-sized server [WILL CLOSE ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2017]

      SO EXCITED I do have one question; Does hauling cargo (in a plex storage unit, not docked) that puts you over the mass limit risk getting tossed in the time-out sector or booted from your ship?

      1km StarGate for Server Hosts

      probably best to just make one yourself at this point. Mered4 might not even have it after over two years, and then there could be changes in configs that leave it ineffective

      Better Asteroid-Resource Matches

      Matching colors isnt really important. I actually wouldnt mind seeing them randomly mixed up as well. Its actually more strange that the chemical composition is reliable and predictable.

      Release Candidate

      You dont have to wait, just switch to the pre branch and start screwing around now. Hope you guys found all the fleet docks problems. I couldnt get the bug to replicate any more, at least.

      StarMade Surprise Update

      Getting them smoothed would be awesome, but simultaneously a pain in the ass where generating those smoothed slopes correctly is concerned.

      Best Missile Circus you've seen in-game?

      Having fun beating up the scavengers last night when i zoomed out of my ship to see i was completely surrounded by a haze of red missiles. So many. Many dozens. Then one blew up my cockpit and my weapons computers. Fun.

      "Shield Armor"

      A fair balance might be to keep them around the same cost as standard armor, or something in-between standard armor and basic hull. I guess another fair question is whether they count as armor in terms of taking reduced damage or shifting some of the damage they take to armor HP Another quick...

      Interested in a baby-sized server ?

      Experimenting with some config changes sounds good. I would personally lean towards a larger sector size (like 5km or so) and decreased weapons range (keeping the weapons' ranges to the same ratios.) We're going to have small craft, so extreme ranges are going to be a pain, but at close range...

      "Shield Armor"

      This doesnt seem like such a bad idea; shield capacitors themselves are indeed hideous to behold exposed, but itd be nice to get more function out of decorations and not have to cut back on them. I wouldnt be miffed if the capacity they added was quite miniscule either.

      Interested in a baby-sized server ?

      Things like this do sound interesting, I'd give it a go.

      Apparently less. The devs seem very excited about their optimizations and improvements.

      Buff warhead damage/radius poll [Remastered]

      Dunno about breaking shields, an ion missile or laser works plenty fine as it is. Shields usually drop pretty fast. That was back before the hp update, when a core was the only thing standing between you and death. It was just a bad system. At the moment, with structure hitpoints governing...

      Buff warhead damage/radius poll [Remastered]

      I didnt think it was possible to get saltier than pure halite, geez guys chill I think a moderate damage and radius buff would be useful. The exploits are already going to be addressed when the devs get to them or change how things work. The issue with collisions and collision damage seems like...

      Diversification of Resources

      Having other means to collect resources, and alternative resources, does sound interesting. I'd want to be able to use the gases, liquids and plasmas in normal recipes in place of mineral components, possibly precipitating minerals and crystal/alloy meshes out of gases and liquids as well as...
