Yeah, I know. I've heard legend that some Intel systems have been forced to work, so I thought I'd check. The notebook is an abandonment of my wife's I've been using as a supplemental work system and for writing. I'm a desktop guy. Cause games, in part, but mostly because of upgradability (for...

I've tried to get Starmade running on this laptop numerous times and always give up because it works fine on my desktop... but I rarely have the ability to use my desktop most weeks and I would have far more access to the game if I could get it to run (at any level of performance) here on...

Biomes should be fun. Next outrageous player demand - terraforming!! Regarding scale: I think there may end up being a difference between RAM needs for generating a planet when discovered for the first time, and RAM needed for loading an already extant planet that comes into view. Because the...

Are you still having this issue? Have you reported it as a bug yet?

You should be able to edit the server config file so no trade stations spawn. Then I guess just start a single player game, admin warp out to deep space and enjoy?

Meanwhile, some people are saying that it's already waaay too hard to destroy reactors and are demanding a return of SHP so they can kill ships more easily. Are we sure reactors need help?

Thinking about the OP in conjunction with the suggestion by Dire Venom makes me think about Integrity. It should actually be very easy to improve(?) the fragility of ships by -ugh- making Integrity a little more horrible. Lower the max protective value of integrity? Increase the badness...

Ahh... bounty! There's a legit issue that's fueling the upset over this for sure. Can't get pirate booty and can't even salvage kills unless they're actually killed. Ok, that totally makes more sense, cause it seems like issues of people sending in waves and waves of hundreds of ships have many...

That's a pretty expensive strategy.

I like A+B. Personally, I feel that missiles should be rather overwhelming weapons... with very limited capacity, a terrible re-fill rate, and the ability to be 95-98% countered by sound point defense engineering. Let the cannon and beam pew-pew. Inspired by Ithirahad - maybe a "reactor"...

I see. That is a problematic issue for many encounters... So at some point pilots should be competent enough to determine that a draw is inevitable and either withdraw, call in backup, or resign themselves to a long, tedious slugfest. I'm not necessarily keen on the results of combat being...

So many people criticized the 2.0 reactors as being too fragile, too vulnerable. Particularly with the stabilizer streams. Holy hell was raised about it, as I recall. Now they're too tough. Looks like it, as well, from the pic. I disagree - most hits are still going to be hits. When you hit a...

Nice, Crimson-Artist! The General Info section taking center stage with larger font is a good start. And the icons are fun, engaging, non-intimidating. Very nice. I still think that the "What is StarMade" blurb looks like marketing copy and probably belongs more in the Wikipedia article about...

Awesome Q&A - thank you for the updates and elaborations! AndyP - players hardly have to create their own blocks at all anymore, even in Single Player, because of NPCs on the Trade Network. This reality could be quickly and easily improved a little with separate settings for Single Player...

I proposed an edit to the Main Page - and opened a discussion about it in the wiki - but maybe it needs more discussion here first. I would just change it, but I don't have the permissions and suspect that there would be objections even if I had. Community Links: Why do visitors hit a bundle of...

Yeah, it started purely in Java, but IIRC they dovetailed C into it a couple years ago to allow better optimization and control. At this point I believe the engine still consists mostly of Java with some C objects and functions, but they have mentioned more than once that they have the ability...

Actually, yeah. Excellent thinking, because control of fleet sizes and range and total mass is a suggestion that has come through a few times. It would dovetail nicely with the idea here, allowing scaleable fleet sizes and ranges based on engineering skill and strategy in terms of ensuring you...
