Forget the shape of the surface, focus on the \"ribs\" or the curvature of a series of linear cross sections. I just finished the movie version of NCC-1701. I took snaps as I was constructing. Here\'s the process:http://gaeasson-shipwright.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-knit-starship.html...

Start your planet with six pyramidal partitions (imagine taking six \"great pyramids of Giza\", coating all the top surfaces in wax, and then assembling them into a cube so all the apexes are in the center, and all the four sided surfaces are on the outside. Now imagine all the wax becomes...

...that all matter in the star-made universe is based on a hexahedron crystaline lattice, and the \"atoms\" are 1M cubes. These factors will make any errors in whatever approximation you choose jarringly obvious.

The inherent trouble is that the Starmade universe is built on euclidian geometry, and spherical worlds with central gravitation are based on noneuclidian spacial geometry. I recognize the inherent problems in trying to marry the two smoothly. At this stage of development I\'m delighted with...

\"what the hell did you learn in school?\" It certainly wasn\'t modeling non-euclidian spacial geometry into a strict euclidian framework, then rendering that model in real time so that it is consistent across multiple light weight java based clients. Is it possible? I say yes. Is it easy...

What if we could equip our ships with paint-ball weapons? Let it be a computer/weapon-block system as normal. "r" on the control block opens it like a chest, allowing you to place "paint" items. Firing the weapon depletes the paint supply. Weapon impact only affects hull. It does no damage...

It\'s kinda... well... square. I get it! Making ovals out of cubes is a very wierd thing to try to accomplish. Let me share with you my secret ingredient: http://donatstudios.com/PixelCircleGenerator This utility is my best friend and boon companion when working on federation ships...

I don\'t want to join a faction as I\'m organizationally overloaded at the moment... But I\'ve got the starship-building bug, and I\'d like to offer you what I\'ve built. I hope you enjoy them. Done: Saladin (TOS): http://star-made.org/node/8855 NX: http://star-made.org/node/8359 NX...

I don\'t know about joining, I\'m organizationally overloaded at the moment... But I\'ve got the starship-building bug, and I\'ve been churning out Star Trek related ships. I\'d be honored if you wanted to use them. Done: Saladin (TOS): http://star-made.org/node/8855 NX...

They don\'t maneuver very well. terrible gas-mileage.

Well done!

Yeah, but then you\'ve got to make the docking port big enough to accept the part first which might be lots of enhancers.

What if there were a "weld" block that you could use to fuse two structures? It could work like a docking block, but permenant and without size restriction. For example, I'm building a bunch of Star Trek ships which tend to re-use the same components in different configurations. I could build...

What if we just expanded the functionality of the faction block to cover all permissions and ownership? Faction - Naturally set to the faction of the owner. Crew - Adding the faction block to a ship, automatically creates a sub-faction called (ShipName)-crew, with the ship-owner as captain...

A development roadmap might help to remind people that StarMade is in alpha. If people know that you will be addressing (warp-speed or whatever) somewhere along about beta3, maybe they will relax about suggesting it like you hadn\'t considered the idea :)

I don\'t know how many of us here have worked on a project like this, but it\'s a lot of work, not just building the code, but planning development and just maintaining the vision. If Schema tried to do a quarter of the things we suggest, we\'d have an awful schizophrenic game and probably an...

Like a dolphin nudging a tanker.

For the final release, or hell even late beta, yes please to inventory limits. My favorite part of a game like this is the \"economy\" of gathering trading and utilizing resources. No economy functions without scarcity and the challenge of overcoming that scarcity. When you do that, please...

It\'s not nice to disparage the size of another man\'s salvage array.
