Shipyards are notoriously glitchy like that. Sometimes it doesnt load designs because of "design overlaps with shipyard structure" even though the shipyard is way larger than needed, other times it just refuses to load at all without giving any actual error messages. There are many glitches on...

I know this is a small change, but I would find it useful. Toggleable/Lockable ABM I think it would be a good idea to have the ABM keybind function similarly to the exterior camera mode toggle, so that pressing and holding the key will activate ABM momentarily, but double-tapping the key would...

Another way to do this would be respawning a ship from a blueprint and giving it another name when the game asks for the name. The above Faction block method will not change the name of the structure in the server database, which respawning with another name remedies. If an Admin searches for...

Sounds really nice. If consoles could also inherit the looks of linked decorative computer blocks (blue computer, red computer, orange computer etc.) designing bridges and control rooms would be that much nicer. Also, more console shapes could be a good thing too (table sets with consoles on or...

Yeah, disabling shield hit effects for personal weapons is fine, but no handheld blaster should be able to burn through a solid meter of metal at any efficient pace. In any common sci-fi franchise, you can see weapons punching holes through interior paneling and such, but these panels are never...

With the afflicted computer being a Mac, I suggest editing the settings.cfg file in the StarMade install directory, and confirming that the entries for "PLAY_INTRO" and "TUTORIAL_PLAY_INTRO" are set to "false". Some Mac models have had problems with in-game video, and the first symptom is this...

This thing has been in the game for ages, as well as build mode clicks, any mouse clicks register as commands in the game, instead of just registering as functions in menus and windows. I remember OmegaGame shooting and killing me more than once with his ship guns while he was trying to close a...

one word: POIPLE!

I'd like this on a regular level first, as in you could buy or craft basic gear that enhances Dave's (Minecraft has Steve, we have Dave, as in 2001: A Space Odyssey) basic abilities(HP, armor, handheld scanner for ores (using the new overlay system and different colors to show ore veins within...

Sounds like something similar to a docking issue, when a station is on a sector border. This causes docked ships to displace themselves into the next sector when docked to the station(sometimes this means that the docked ships become intangible and unusable). This means that the station is...

I think StarMade already does this. When you start a new game, it drops you into the universe with a few starting necessities (configurable, so you could add a filled ship BP of your choosing in the starting inventory), some credits and then pats you on the back and sends you on your way...

All I can see is that the big drone in the beginning has an offset core. AFAIK, the fleet AI uses cores to target so it might be firing and not hitting anything because of the core offset. Try building a drone with the core centered on the array and see if that helps.

Seems like some people cannot drop the "us vs them" mentality, and are usually completely refusing to see the problems from the other people's viewpoint. It's the same with PvP vs RP/Survival debates on various forums. The SM community in general seems to be very splintered and vocal about some...

Whenever I disable Framebuffer, I start getting corrupted graphics, that are simply not there when using Framebuffer. Take a look at the black things at the back of the limbs on the purple-and-gray ship. With Framebuffer Disabled: With Framebuffer Enabled: My computer's stats are: Intel...

The Steam version of Starmade is exactly the same as the non-steam version (other than Steam integration and ovelays that is). If you want to link your forum account to the steam version, the Registry will give you that option. You can still use your preferred usename if you want to continue...

Well, I think this thing qualifies. Meet the TSF Reaver, a largely unfinished techno-organic being. The screenie shows the aft end of it and it really looks like some purple and gray space octopus.

Build blocks can be used on any build you wish to use them on. Usually they are used to build on stations and planets. Stations do not have a core at all, they have a seed block you buy when you create a station in-game (press P to found a station, usually this takes a lot of credits (1 million...

Yeah, AI pathfinding is simply not there (or at least it doesn't work as it should) and the AI generally goes derp very often, while this has some hilarious results ("Whee! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!" and "Look daddy, I'm dancing!") it's also really annoying especially if you have a lot of drones...

Aside from removing scanlines (the display effect you talk about) this is possible to achieve through manipulation of the text in a display. You hide the display in the wall you want the text on (the display will have to be flush with the wall) and then use control codes to change how the text...

Yes, and perhaps have an indicator for current speed as well, for those ships that aren't capable of instantly accelerating to any set speed. So there would be one indicator for speed presets (quarter/half/three-quarters/full) and an indicator for current speed (for real time reference). Also...
