I honestly do believe the dwindling playerbase is due ENTIRELY to lack of advertising. ALL games see people come in, play for a while, and leave. Thing is, new players only come in to replace the old ones when new people know it exists. Starmade has been flying under the radar for quite a...

No, you deal with angry fanboys because you say crap like "this game is a diseased farm animal that needs to be put down" instead of something thoughtful or constructive. Even when you do try to say something constructive, you immediately put it in an aggressive, adversarial tone that instantly...

What use is there in doing a dev post that is nothing but "Nothing new to report this week"? Just because they aren't saying "Yes, we're still doing our jobs" every 20 minutes doesn't mean they're off golfing instead. They flat out said they weren't doing the every 2 weeks thing anymore...

Makes me wonder why you begged to be let back in if this is how you feel.

I'm a programmer by trade (I build business applications). Let me just say that early in a build cycle, there is zero need or want for having people mucking around in your product. You want to have it near finished so that the feedback you get is valid. The video showed little more than the...

I'm looking forwards to the change, actually. Cloaking in the game now is pretty broken and in desperate need of a revamp. I'm really looking forwards to being able to build a legit klingon or romulan ship that isn't just bare systems.

You're right, it is. Thats why you should ignore it. Seriously. The bleeding edge people are the ones using exploits and unintended behaviors, and they are the ones that get pissy when things get fixed and they have to redo everything every time a major patch comes out. Just not worth it...

Dude, you literally called the game "a suffering farm animal waiting to be put down to end its misery". You weren't "voicing concerns without the sugarcoating", you were openly insulting the game and the designers on their own forums. What kind of response did you expect to get from that...

Good :) Keep things fresh! But he's right, everything is about to change in the next probably 6 months. This is prime time to work on perfecting your ability to build cool looking shells, but trying to perfect systems and the like right now is likely just going to be a... less than efficient...

No, we think there will be new ones. Because you know, there has been ZERO intentional advertising for Starmade. There has been no magazine ads, there have been no paid reviews, the entire hype engine has been completely inactive. For good reason. The game only needs enough people right now...

Eh, could be they reached a good block destruction threshold for each one and decided to have some fun with it.

Sexy booty for a "cruisin' around" ship I've started (in the same theme as the one above). And really, the engines is all there is of this ship so far.

When the power update was announced as being in the works. And instead of being supportive and offering constructive feedback, the majority of the community proceeded to shit themselves in rage at the idea that something might change and just went full on ballistic against Schine. Its no...

The top off power requirement is going to be MUCH lower than the power required to fully charge it. I'm imagining the difference is going to be like the current Shield system, where weapons have a standby cost of 1/10th their active charging energy requirement. You can still have a giant...

Ah, thanks. I didn't have time to watch the entire thing.

A pair of asymmetrical turrets I designed to flank either side of my latest ship.

Lol, well its okay for orks.

FYI, SMBEdit - Blueprint Editor makes stripping systems out of your ships very easy. It has an option to totally remove a specified block from a blueprint entirely. Just set it up with a command to remove power blocks, shields, thrusters, weapons, etc and in one command you can revert a...

So the reactor chamber stuff mentioned that things like Jump Drive will be built into the reactors themselves and no longer require their own blocks. On one hand, I like this. On the other hand, I use jump modules and jump inhibitor modules a lot for decoration because of how they're animated...

I don't see that, I really don't. The power system we had before was mind bending to wrap your head around at first, and then it was just boringly easy. There was no trade-offs to building power into a ship, and hitting the soft cap on most things was ridiculously easy (or virtually impossible...
