This is known as the "Event Horizon" -- the threshold beyond which there is no return, for anything. I'm all for exploration. I certainly hope the game evolves past it's current "Warship or Nothing" imbalance. ~ee

More (OCD) technical questions: 1. When is / is there a "deadline" for our submission? (You stated that winners will be announced on May 1st, but you'll obviously need time to test and determine and confer, yet no mention of a cut-off date... so how much time is yet remaining?) 2. Would you...

[ Let me preface further comments by stating that when I see "Joined: Apr 4, 2014", or thereabouts, on someone's forum tag that I respect your opinion and your experience. Likely you were around before the "newer" version of Starmade and have a sense of just how far the game had come and the...

1. Why does it have to be "distinctly" (ie. "completely") different? (Did you not read the opening post?) 2. The notion of "Lore" in a new game that is not based on some established work of literature/cinema is preposterous. There is no lore here. 3. Better to have "things" that are useful...

What about the "glowy" blocks like Power Capacitors? Is that still a shader issue or something else? (Those are hard to look at in large numbers...)

The big question [from a non-computer-logic-type-of-guy (I'm all over verbal logic, however...)] is: Can the game, in it's entirety, be "converted" into the 4-byte paradigm easily, or with minimal difficulty? If Schema has to start over from scratch I just don't see it happening. (Shoulda been...

More thanx. Unfortunately, I'm on a desert-island sandbox-server (my pc would never survive other players) and I have no intention of releasing it to the public. It's my BABY !!! I won't share. I'm also continuously experimenting with different weapons systems as I'm kinda new (read: NOOB) to...

Thanx. I currently refer to it as the "Diamond-Jellyfish." It was not intended to be quite as huge as it turned out -- it's like the Hindenburg inside... (I also have a 2nd version of it in the wings with some color changes and less "rear-end." But I change my mind about internals of this...

I'm not sure if this off-color humor is slightly amusing or just completely offensive. Regardless, "inappropriate" certainly applies.

Okay then! Thanx. I do think, though, that the person who came-up with "Waffle-Cannon" should get some special recognition. Makes my chuckle every time.

Nope, too late. Participants after me are disallowed. I can't endure additional competition. :p [Note: Any statements made by EtherEel are entirely his own and should probably be disregarded because he is slightly mentally imbalanced.]

Here's a Starmade-jargon word I'd like yall to define: Hitscans. Was perusing here starmadedock.net/threads/a-guide-on-starmade-combat.6523/ by Pi-Rex and company when I encountered the word. I think i figured it out, but if I had to do some figuring then it probably belongs on the list here...

Are you volunteering to be my co-pilot, CyberTao? Aww, that's sweet, but I'm on a "me-only sandbox server" right now... ;) [And isn't that still essentially adding more hotbar slots -- another hotbar unto itself?] Have co-pilots been invented yet? - - - - I'm all curious now as to the...

Not aware of that, no. (cf: EtherEel on the Noob-List) Even more reason for each missile to be independent; not to mention that multiple blast-radii hitting the same spot is counter-productive. It would explain why my Quad-Ion-Beam weapon (which is really big) is the a major power-vampire...

This is a good idea -- for the future. It's a long way away right now, we can't get ships (the basis of the game) to even turn the right way yet... But, yep -- once the major issues have been dealt with -- this would be fun. (But no official "like" from me yet, sorry.)

Well, that is both funny and true. But I find that I prefer to have each Missile output independent and not grouped together on one computer. For example, I have 5 Missile weapons, 1 Ion-Beam array (group of 4), 1 Piercing Beam array (group of 2), 1 Cannon array (group of 6), a Scanner, an...

Sooo, not to be excessively nit-picky, but, which is it? Max of 3 Corvettes, or max of 2 Corvettes? The Fighters are the tough ones, though! So tiny! My plans always balloon into cruisers... That's an art unto itself, I tell ya -- makin' good small stuff. ~

Well, opinion noted. I "play" on my own little sandbox server without all those adjustments (and other players) and I still think missiles are OP. Maybe a better perspective is that Beams (and Cannons?) are underpowered. Regardless, if it is true that Missiles have this penetrative aspect...

This thought has been slowly creeping to the front of my brain, so I thought I'd throw it out there for some feedback. (And see if it's a known factor already.) I was testing a missile (without the Explosive adjunct) the other day on an innocently bystanding but sizable asteroid and noticed...

Really looking forward to Gas Giants. Would be cool have some that reach (or exceed) the sector boundary (in theory). And I would like to be able to fly though low-density GGs. Would also be cool for some to have natural satellites. And RINGS (all four of our solar-system's GGs have...
