My son and I are gearing up to make a story-style set of videos using StarMade as the backdrop. It's half Let's Play, and half storytelling. I looked around briefly but did not see any guidelines or restrictions on uploading videos. Are there any? Thank you in advance, for anyone who can...

I just threw a shipyard together really quick last night. It got a little finicky when I moved the core anchor block, but it worked alright. I'm currently using 201.130.

So, because I'm just fussy in that way, I tested out a couple of slightly older models of the weapon update. Version 201.130 has missiles and warheads exploding just fine. Version 201.130a has missiles working as advertised, but warheads won't explode (at least, not on impact. I didn't try...

From my trouble ticket to Schine, re: Warheads: "Warheads may not work at all anymore, they are partially deprecated for now. (Until we have a new purpose for them, as the mines have replaced them.)" On the other hand, they say missiles are working just fine. I wonder if mine are ineffective...

At the risk of sounding repetitive, are missiles working for anyone? I'm wondering if the explosion system was disabled altogether. Because, for me, all missiles are doing in my universe are giving point-defense systems something to shoot at.

Anyone else having issues with missiles deciding not to cause damage? It seems like the first shot or two works as normal, then nothing but pixie dust con-trails that leave the targets unscratched. EDIT: I almost forgot--warheads no longer work? I get the little "poof" graphic when they are...

Funny thing, that. I did revert to pre-power update. The mistake was, the blueprints I worked on and saved in that version are not backwards compatible despite not using any new power blocks. So, yeah. The door closed behind me on that one. 201.130 is where the buck stops unless they have a...

So, I've been piddling around a little bit with this update. It's been a latest in a long line of frustration from StarMade. Allow me to give you some backstory, if I may. My son bought this game for me last year as a Father's Day present; he remembered I liked to play it way way back in the...

I was about to start a new thread, but I'll post here first. On ships with the old power systems, missile launchers do not reload. The ship has one missile and the max capacity, but once fired, the ship is on empty for ammo for the rest of its existence. Since they had damage and power...

I'd also like automating salvaging of abandoned stations, if any devs are listening.

In a file called "blockbehavior" in the config folder, you can reduce the distance to reactors. All the way down to zero, if you'd like. Make a backup of that file before you tweak numbers, however.

Back after a very long hiatus (when cannons and missiles were the only weapons...). Working on an RP server with my son.

Yup. Saw them while I was looking for something else. I've been toying with different values. The only thing I would REALLY like to change is how they do thruster integrity--I don't see any way to change that.

I leave them on for engineering reasons (so I can see what I have hooked up to what), but I do admit to having fun with buttons to keep the logic pipes out of corridors and rooms. I toyed with the notion of turning them off, but I saw an absolutely brilliant station blueprint that used logic...

My son and I run around together on a server, and we sat down and hashed out a bunch of stuff to make it less frustrating. One of those were missile speeds. We agreed the nukes should be slower than "explosive" effect, but only a little slower. So we nudged up the speeds in the config file...

Yeah, I got frustrated and tore up the config file to dial down everything, including reactor down times. I think it's something like 1-2 seconds on my server, now. I'd like to think that an age of technology that produces perpetual-energy sources and FTL travel on demand can do a little think...

I'd like to see them remain in the game. I created an NPC faction whose unmanned drones are largely damage pulse and very fast, to fly interference for their larger ships. Damage pulses are also great for repelling boarding parties. I would love to see them tweaked to use as anti-missile...

You almost need to have a credit rating system for accounts, to make the loans work. But otherwise an interesting system. Perhaps, with NPC banking, loans generate a "debt" amount that requires repayment before new credit lines can be extended. For example, I borrow 10,000 from the Trading...

I like the OP's idea, and I would like to add that--if there isn't already--there should be some different color for factions that refuse to trade due to war or some preference stating they only trade with allies. Or even remove non-trading nodes altogether?

I know it's an old thread, but I recently came across something in the config files that suggests a limit to explosion sizes. Try making multiple, smaller charges in... strategic... locations about the area to be self-destroyed.
