I went back recently, and I think right as the lift comes to the top, the Ebon Hawk from Knights of the Old Republic flies out of a ship bay. I missed that the first time around. I was actually just thinking about that early today and thought it would be a good addition. All this talk of...

Sorry but that just makes no sense. That's like saying as someone white I wouldn't feel welcome to play GTA San Andreas because you can only play as a black dude, or 90% of the JRPGs I've played because there's only an Asian protagonist. Not everyone sees race and sex when they go to play a...

It has worked that way for a at least a few patches. It needs to be the opposite wedge, it still won't work if the bottom is obstructed. You can even place a wedge above the seat and it'll be fine. I've made some compact cockpits with this method. Interestingly enough though, if you sit down and...

That was just awesome on so many levels. I think that trailer will set the hook for many people (we'll really need some sfx now though). Can't wait to see the contest winner's stations in game too, the new people will love that. I'm just curious though, couldn't Schine get in trouble for using...

I can think of two solutions to better complement the way the system is now, because with those numbers I do think that there is way too large of a time investment needed for a 160m ship. We can either get some larger asteroids, which I really think would do the game good aesthetically and in...

That point can go either way. The prospect of PvP rewarding the victor with salvage of the enemy ship and being a struggle for mining system bonuses when captured can just as easily make PvP more desirable. I think people with Titans may be more cautious, but players with fighters, corvettes...

I'm not really against the idea of lower res packs, but if you can't run 64 bit well, I'd really suggest getting a new graphics card because even a 4 year old card could support this game on medium settings with 64 bit textures and maintain good FPS under normal circumstances. That being said...

I've got a couple questions for the next Q&A. Why did you choose to make this game in Java? Was it simply personal preference, is Java well suited to certain features for Star Made, or are there some other reasons? Is the Minelayer dead? Or is it just very low priority right now? Similarly, are...

Or even better, other players. Become the pirates. I wonder if we'll see some more utility centered ships focused on disabling ships for harvest rather than just blowing them up with missile batteries.

I'm just curious (because I mostly build by admin command on singleplayer) are you mining with the faction bonuses also? I remember when we got that update the bonus for faction territory mining is 6x and general owned territory is 3x. That bonus seems pretty damn good.

Optimizing your weapons has just moved from sliders to block distribution. I find more challenge in trying to cram a bunch of modules into a space and tweak the ratios to my liking among secondary and tertiary effects along with all the other system blocks. If you're working within ships that...

Seconding OP's suggestion. I'd also like to see rotatable orientation so I can make some proper ring worlds.

I agree with you completely. But this is going to be really weird in the interim until we get shipyards, but the change is necessary. I say we just roll with it for now. It will be worth it if we get to see ships constructed block by block in a shipyard and this is an indirect buff to smaller...

Press V on the slave while having the Master selected with C beforehand (this is true for linking lights and minerals to the master for color change also). Each computer still links modules with V to each of their respective blocks.

I usually get the basic ship shape down quite easily, but details always burn me out in trying to make a flat surface be more interesting. Anyone got any tips on that? Not including greebling though. That doesn't translate well to Star Made on smaller ships. I usually just try to add pipes...

Normally I'd say that we have our own methods of making self destruct mechanisms with dis integrators and logic, but in this case it's too disadvantageous to really get behind as the solution. A Self Destruct Terminal block with adjustable detonation time and adjustable explosion radius would...

It's really a hard call when it comes to cloaking because of balance. I feel like these mechanics would make it too easy to slap a cloaking device on a ship, but modules should be considered 100% for both systems at this point. It's the numbers that really need hard consideration. If this system...

Late on this post since I just saw it, but damn this is a good idea. I don't see anyone being opposed to this method. Not aesthetic builders or combat optimized builders.

pre built ships would be excellent for not only new players, but for even advanced players who like to specialize in certain ships with their builds and don't want to be assed to make other types and just want a quick throwaway ship to get the job done.

In all fairness, Notch has mentioned Infiniminer as what led him to make Minecraft. Though, literally just about everything Notch has done before and after Minecraft is "X inspired by Y". That's why once he got all his money he stopped doing anything serious. He has no real creative drive, just...
