      A Guide on Starmade Combat

      Interesting -- first I've heard of the actual use of "Push Pulse." (But I'm on my own little desert-island sandbox so there are many things I miss...) (And my noobitude is well established already.) AND!!!! -- the "why" "why" "why" "why" description of the Damage Pulse weapon is prime example...

      Feel the Power of the Sun (Solar Power)

      Well, I'm gunna guess that the Solar-panel/Solar-sail afficionadoes are Battlefleet-Gothic buffs.... (Am I right?) There are major reasons why sole (and partial) dependence on Solar-power/Solar-wind isn't viable. First is that there are many "systems" with no stars; no star means no power...

      How to make efficient scanners?

      Configuration/Contiguation of scanner modules is irrelevant, simply works by simple numbers. I tried a Scanner with 350 modules, then one with 780 -- no difference in range (may be a "sandbox server" function...) If there's supposed to be a shorter cool-down for more modules, I've not noticed...

      Weapons Panel Improvement

      In a similar vein to my suggestion about multiple cameras, the Weapons Panel ("T" if you use default key setting) needs some attention. I (and likely you) would like to be able to: 1. Assign a name to each individual weapon on the list -- extremely useful when you have multiple weapons with...

      Beam weapons.

      It's utterly confounding to my brain that Beams, which are essentially Lasers, that are emitted at light-speed (ie. instantaneous), are so completely inaccurate and have a shorter range than Cannons (whose projectiles move at sub-light speed.) My opinion: Beams should be very accurate and long...

      Width does not affect turning

      Well, this is a disturbing observation. Especially as I've noticed an abundance of 2-dimensional (ie. "flat") ship designs resembling airplanes. "Soft" evidence of just how weak the whole ship movement system is. (I'll refrain from opining further...) It may indicate, however, that a "fix"...

      Forum Points Reset

      Mmmkay, thanx. Should I start working now on the "Brown-Noser" Badge, or wait till it's all finished?

      Forum Points Reset

      Is there a "This is how the new thing works" post forthcoming, or are ya just gunna leave us hangin' ? (Or did I miss it already?)

      Forum Points Reset

      I see we've all been reset to zero Forum Points. No idea why, don't really care much anyway. Why dontcha just get rid of them if they're causing problems? It's not like "Well Known Member", et. al, really means anything anyway. /shrug Just sayin'...

      Brainstorm This Perfect turning system - no half-assed solution

      I believe the word yer looking for is "perception" -- the perception of gravity produced by a perception of acceleration away from the center of rotation. It's only a perception, however. You are, in fact, accelerating toward the center in a centrifuge, for example. This is still...

      Brainstorm This Perfect turning system - no half-assed solution

      Wow -- :rolleyes: It seems you of all people should be aware that centrifugal force/acceleration is, in fact, fallacious. All rotational force/acceleration is centripetal. Better not to argue for the sake of arguing.

      Starmade Community Dictionary [Post entries, please!]

      Rebuttal question: Why is it no longer an Anti-matter Cannon? (Did someone's Titan's Supa-Planet-Killa-Cannon have a misfire resulting in catastrophic 50" monitor damage?) I kinda prefer that the projectile be an energy entity than a physical entity. "Cannon" just underwhelmes me with...

      block downvote accounts.

      Remember, too, Drakkart, even including we noobs, smart/wise players can perceive the difference between a valid review/opinion and garbage. (I have not viewed the review in question, btw.) I generally refrain from reviewing at all (I think I made exactly 1...) even if I like something, &...

      -- Thumbs Up!! -- On behalf of the NOOB COMMUNITY, I thank yall for the info & humor ~.o I am curious, though, why, for example, "Anti-matter Cannon" is still used in-game (Ship Entity Menu) if it's now just a Cannon that fires a projectile of we-don't-really-know-what... ► I believe...

      GUI and Multiple Cameras

      Also, the HUD should display which camera you are using based on the name you've assigned it (eg. "Forward Upper Left") up near where the "icons" are located now; not big letters, just a reminder/feedback.

      Replace Damage-Pulse with...

      Oh, disregard that -- had a faulty thought stuck in my head. However, are all "new weapons" that come out gunna be on the linkage chart (requiring new variations be devised)? Or will some be independent (and therefore "unmodifiable")? So, if you really love your Damage-Pulse, think of this as...

      GUI and Multiple Cameras

      I would like to see a Panel/Menu for my multiple cameras, so I can: a) Name them by view direction and/or location (keep track of them, know what my options are.) b) Be able to go right to the one I want. c) Assign each a key or place one or more in the hotbar (which also needs more...

      Replace Damage-Pulse with...

      Okay, there's been enough activity for me to respond. Preface: I'm surprised that ANY of you liked this idea! I appreciate your appreciation. I was preparing for universal negativity because I'm just some noob without any sense of the game's history, and yall are used to things being the way...

      Replace Damage-Pulse with...

      Plasma Torpedo. (Yes, like the Romulan thingy...) Basic features of the Plasma Torpedo: 1. High damage weapon (thus it's a good fit to replace Pulse in the Weapon-Linkage Charts.) 2. Missile-like output: it's a pint-sized sun. 3. It travels rather slowly -- probably just barely faster than...
