That's not even close to the chain of events that has happened. Schema said he wasn't happy with the old power system, he wanted more thought to go into it then simply placing down rows and 3d "T's" then stuffing your ship with systems. With the goals set out, I imagined schine was going to...

If it were up to me, I'd make it a gameplay mechanic to promote one of your crew to stay there and handle that stuff. You could tweak it yourself, through the box, but over time it would learn your preferences and adapt to that. You don't see an emperor traveling to every little Podunk town to...

Baby steps lol. I could see RTS type of mechanics working, but I think as part of some end-game level of faction control. Right now, I just want to be able to tell all the ships with me to focus on specific targets, or assign smaller escorts to my larger fleet elements. Ships should have roles...

I hate stabilizers. I would remove them, or failing that, make their presence merely optional, instead of mandatory. As far as what I would add? Some AI improvements, firstly. Actually, since the mechwarrior series seems to be a source of at least some inspiration, how about just copy/paste all...

Honestly, I don't think that pvp'ers building generically is an issue. PvP and rp players don't tend to congregate into the same servers. Regardless, I know that a few of the pvpers who have tolerated being on the docks usually tended to have very nice looking designs. I believe this is a non...

Seriously. Be rid of them. You spend extra time on them, and the ppl who aren't fed up, will simply disable or invert the stabilizer distance requirement, anyway. It's what I'm gonna do. Seriously. I will not use them at all. And ill probably feel a little bitter that so much time was wasted on...

I bought a house a few years ago. It was built in 1964. It was a pier and beam style house, near a lake in North Texas. I bought it from a family friend, whose mother had occupied the home previously. I was gonna raise my kids there. Nice yard. Lots of trees. Mostly friendly neighbors. We...

I am disappointed that I was beaten to this punchline...

Also, the current planets are a place holder for something better that is (allegedly) on the way

The dev builds are notoriously buggy. I mean, they're the DEV builds, not meant for release. Sometimes they leave things intentionally messed up for testing. I would just suggest sticking with the release and pre-release builds when the dev builds nuke your system. My main PC not included...

Speaking as one of those people who normally spend 6 months on large pretty interiors, if Lecic wants to build a highly efficient PvP death machine, he shouldn't be forced to make something ugly and spindly in order for it to be competitive. Starmade is supposed to be about having fun. How is...

Bah! Call them whatever lol. Identifiable roles should be a thing (attack, defend, cargo, miner, recon, stealth), but IRL ship classifications are in part a political label to slap on your warship so your neighbors don't get too upset at you having it. A destroyer today has more in common with...

What about having npc's be 2d sprites? The npc would still occupy 3d space, but instead of having to render a character model, have a 2d image that changes based on character orientation, direction, and activity. Then you could handily differentiate between players and npc's and the sprites...

About march to June of this year was mine. I had lost my job, and between job searching and my kids, I actually had the free time to mess around quite a bit. Updated my most popular CC ship, uploaded 2 more, and started 3 or 4 others. I'm looking at hitting another high point now though. Gonna...

Do turrets work again in the dev build? I haven't gotten to get on in weeks. Man, being an adult sucks...

If you want completely smooth, you're stuck with 45°. However, if you just want the general shape, you can use the line tool under build helper. You pick a start point, an end point, then an outline is displayed of where you need to put blocks to make your line. From there you can smooth it out.

By huge I mean my stuff is practically hollow lol. I'm mostly an RP builder, BUT I've been wanting to try my hand hand at more practical designs. Thank you for all the info!

Ok, at what point would have a "moderate" sized ship, or a "large" one, and what would be a rough guideline for a "balanced" build. You've got experience with PvP (I mostly just play with myself) so I'm curious if you've ever observed a "practical standard" regarding a ships size and it's role...

Well I've played the game a while, but not PvP. How would you balance a 5k mass ship for speed, defenses, and offenses? At what point would an interior handicap a ships performance in these areas? How would all of this differ from a 10k or 15k mass ship?

Eventually I DO think programmable alarm klaxons have to be a thing.
