That's pretty awesome. I'm still figuring out how the Rail system works. In my recent builds, I've made a 'turbolift' for my two scout ship configurations that takes the crew between the C&C center and the 'engineering' sections; I haven't figured out how to make an elevator that stops at a...

Preparing to make Oreos.

I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir, but this is also a symptom of another problem in this game - to have a protected area to store your stuff and dock your ships, at present you're practically required to have a one-man faction. Thus, one-man factions field Titans, when they should at...

I like this idea, because right now the reality is, if you want a safe place to store your stuff and dock your ships, you have to create a personal faction. I don't like doing that, it defeats the purpose of a faction. I view this idea as a great way to be able to be part of a faction, and to...

I'd like to add a couple: 1 - Replace block: you select a block from your available inventory, then you click a block. All blocks of the type that you clicked, get replaced with the ones you selected. Great for up-armoring a ship, or replacing one system with another. 2 - I've heard talk of...

Yeah, I'll upload my blueprint when I'm done with it. I also want to upload one of my new designs, the EFS Janeway Scout. It's based on Star Trek, because I'm a nerd (I was at least a bit original and based it on the Nova-, not the Intrepid-class.) I have another variant, slightly heavier...

That's way the heck better than 'coin drones'. As soon as I get home the Esthar Fleet Systems Oreo Drone shall become a thing...

MrFURB gave me an idea with his Pringles Drones - Coin Drones! I'm working on a 'Drone Cruiser' specifically built around pretty much being nothing but a bridge, power plant, shields, warp drive...and one massive rail. On each rail is a 5x5 drone: -- Th PR MT -- CB FM PR CB CB DM SC PR CC CB...

There's a slightly bigger problem, that hopefully the RP updates will help with: In a weird way, in the current state of this game, every ship is technically a one-man fighter. Just some one-man fighters are way bigger, more powerful, and more resilient than others. That's one of the balance...

Yeah, I fired up my copy yesterday just to see what's changed in the last few months...the fact is, other than building what I consider a cool starship, there's really nothing to do, at least in single-player. In multiplayer, gameplay balance has always been tenuous at best, and my preferred...

They're too weak to do anything. EDIT: And, while I still assert the shipbuilding metagame in its current state makes the game un-fun/boring, it occurred to me that this is slightly tangent to what the OP was going for, even though it is a part of the OP's boredom. As a result, I made an...

If you don't like reading, turn away. There's a lot of text here. I like StarMade; I really do! That said, I've found that at present the game is just not very fun. Some of that can be solved by creating other systems to force interaction, but a good bit of the things stopping the game from...

There's another problem too, though. In addition to small ships not being able to generate enough power, there's not enough useful ordinance in the game. Right now, missiles are king - that's all you need to know to play. Laser cannons? Useless. Beams? Useless (though, helpful for lock-on...

No, I got that part quite clearly. As you said - it takes a squadron of interceptors and bombers to successfully attack a larger ship. The problem with StarMade is, due to how the maths work out, it's pointless. A ship above a certain mass simply can't be harmed by small ships - whether it's...

I respectfully disagree - in real militaries, fighters perform two roles: A) bombing, to inflict massive damage on a large vessel (possibly rendering it inoperable, or even destroyed), and B) interception, to prevent enemy bombers from doing all the stuff I said in point A. In real life...

I wholeheartedly agree that beyond building [insert your favorite ship here] there's not much reason to keep playing StarMade, online or offline. That said, I'd like to add that the trend of building big ships doesn't help either; instead of having to take forever to mine and put together a big...

I agree; as far as bone-headed release decisions go, this is a pretty big one. Still, I'll hold my nerd-rage to see how (quickly) they go about solving this.

I also notice that Planet Segments now no longer have any power capacity by default (in the previous version, plopping down a Power Reactor caused a Planet Segment to have a default capacity of 50k.) EDIT: Reported as Issue #2041

Reporting that as a bug. You should be able to create docking facilities even if you're (nearly) out of resource, provided you can cobble together a factory of some description.

So am I to understand they can't be crafted?
