Or in time after some play testing, they may decide to let us use multiple reactors simultaneously and dedicate what they power. So we could have a warp core for the engines, then weapon batteries, etc. They're being overly cautious right now, which is good. It is better to go too small to...

Well the problem there was server destroying lag caused by people using docked reactors. They were making the base ship, giving it soft cap to run the thrusters, then docking an internal reactor to it inside the ship, and then docking all of the turrets to that. Which meant if/when that...

Oh I know. Its taken me about 2 months to mostly finish my hybrid mining/drone carrier ship because I keep wandering off to do other things. Still have some detailing to do (mostly on the underside), but the main trick I've found to keeping on it is to, well, keep on it. As in, work on at...

My trick there is to work on multiple different things at once. When inspiration strikes on one, I work on it. When I get sick of working on say a ship, I go work on a station instead. Or I just go play another game entirely for a few weeks. I've actually been playing Destiny 2 recently, and...

Carpet. Virtually everything I do has brown standard armor as the floor because it looks like berber carpeting.

The main engines on my new industrial theme mining drone carrier.

My latest fighter from my current Industrial themed fleet. (ignore the light box dock it's attached to) Even has landing struts that are all even to the lowest point so that it will "sit" correctly on a deck. Gives me a vague "Ed-209 (from Robocop) strapped to an engine" feel.

For most programs, there is a priority order when rendering that basically says "If you can't see it, there's no point wasting computer resources in drawing it". Its a little hard to explain properly, but essentially whats happening is the order of the objects is wrong so the renderer doesn't...

Age appropriateness of the forum should match the age appropriateness of the game. If Starmade is going to market itself as being acceptable for 10 year olds to use, then the forums should also be acceptable for 10 year olds to use. Just makes sense to me. The forums for My Little Pony...

Even then, we don't have final optimizations. Its a little premature to talk about imposing limits when we don't even know what the final "average capabilities" for the game are going to be.

(Quote removed. Thingie~) Just because they know about a bug or an exploit doesn't make it a priority to close until it gets found out and abused. WoW was infamous for saying back in Wrath that they were actively tracking over 1 million active bugs. Doesn't mean they were doing nothing about...

Been on it a couple of days, don't think its for me. 1) Blueprints disabled. I like my theme ships. I have a ship I've been working on for ages that is just an empty hull. It is nothing but "damn that looks cool", but can't upload it to finish it, and its too much to restart from scratch...

Yup. We might get heated, but in the end its because we enjoy the game and we all know that its in a formative state. We all want to influence the dev team into steering the game in directions we want to see it go, and to avoid letting it go in directions we don't want it to go. Its good for...

Well, our point is that it should not come to that point in the first place. That it is inherently bad for the game and the community at large to have anyone picked on and run off a server at all, because most new players aren't going to just find another server when that happens to them...

Actually they did. The Sentinel Alliance. Its apparently sprang up in the past month or two and seems to be doing well from what they say. I'm going to give it a try this afternoon.

Well if we want to get realistic, its because this is an unfinished alpha that is intentionally getting zero advertising because the dev team doesn't want a huge inrush of people that will burn out on it before the actual launch of a polished game, but po-tay-toh poh-tah-toe.

I can't imagine why the player count is so low when "I demand the right to blow you up 3 seconds after you log into the server!" is apparently the norm, and everyone screams bloody murder any time someone says "Lets try protecting the newbies". o_O

Well goodie for it, I haven't tried looking for a server in the last month because the last times I tried it there was no such thing as a PvE server (which everyone was more than happy to say "See? They don't exist because no one wants that!" about). I'm glad to see somebody finally started...

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Oh yes, because dodging works so great against a lock on missile attack that can vaporize half a moon, when you're in starter blocks trying to actually get into unclaimed space so you can even START setting up. Also, most server admins will gladly wipe your player file and let you start from...
