Arkudo said that English isn't his first language, so it's possible there's something lost in translation going both ways. He has a design philosophy that works for him, just as everyone else has their own that works for them. But to bring the topic back around to the issue of FTL as part of...

I think that's an awesome way to design a ship and I like seeing it done with having a crew and various ship systems in mind. My point was I don't think it requires an additional game mechanic to impose on less creative players. If StarMade was meant to be a realistic space sim, I'd totally...

I'm admittedly new to StarMade, only been playing about 3 weeks now, but I've never seen ships like you describe, in game or on YouTube. Everything I've seen has been some really amazing builds from talented people, except in the case of PVP Thunderdome style matches with death cubes. Now if...

I can see what you're saying, but then heat becomes an additional factor to consider throughout the game, whereas a cool down time is already something we deal with in the case of missiles. Having the hyperdrive block require an X minute cool down and minimum power requirement is a simpler...

Why not just put a 5minute cool down on the hyperdrive block? Perhaps for the starting jump it requires 100k energy or whatever to activate, so big ships will have no problem having one on board, and smaller ships use jump gates and beacons. Either way, it's going to be another 5 minutes before...

However spiderworms sound totally appropriate.

I ran across twin pyramids once, I just assumed ruins were already in game just rare. But regardless of what kind of critters we get, a couple of things would basic "realities" on SMfauna, they are a source of resources, competition for resources, or a threat to players/ships/bases. On the...

Asteroid worms like in Empire Strikes Back. Sarlacc analogs. Big bugs like in Starship Troopers. Land sharks knocking at the airlock door saying "candygram"...

watch out for the rabid space dolphins...

I like the idea of having a ship crew. As it is, and I've likely missed something so I apologize if that's the case, there's already different control computers for the various weapons, just have those control blocks be "enterable" like a ships core, but giving control to just those systems...

well since my space whale wasn't very functional, I opted for a space dolphin with rabies... I really like how this one turned out. I think I can pull off some 'nids.

Most impressive

I find the idea of building a hive fleet or a mess of Ork rocks to be appealing. I will look into this.

So I decided to take a crack a building a space whale. Still working on it, but I started with the idea that this would be something to be shot up, so I started with the skeleton and began adding flesh, blood, organs, and eventually skin. All in regular hulls for a smoother appearance. This is a...

I'm just the new guy here, but here's my suggestions... WAUUGH- the general space orks/kilngons/Viking archetype, the pirates already seem to fill this role, but maybe some boarding action events could be worked out for capital ships, stations, and planetside? ZETANS- your standard grey aliens...

Greetings all, I'm Josh and I've been puttering around in Starmade for the last week or so, still trying to get the hang of everything. Currently I'm working on a build of a ship I drew in a fan comic I did years ago...
