      AZURITE SERPENT v1.3

      Hi there, my fellow Sci-Fi spaceship enthusiasts! :^D Allow me to introduce the Azurite Serpent - a hi-tech jumpship that started out as a speed-build, but eventually took 5 days to complete, and ended up as my first starmade spacecraft to get showcased (thanks Tshara!) :) FEATURES: * A...

      Community Fleet Contest Results!

      1) A relevant piece of wisdom for all concerned about the happenings of the past days: there is this miniature theory that I call the "avalanche protocol", that might come good in similar future cases - Just as no on-going avalanche was ever stopped by throwing sticks of dynamite at it, it's...

      Community Fleet Contest Results!

      It's very funny how I speculated "if it has appeared in the past in other games or movies...", when all along there was a forum post out there in the great unknown, created by someone also named Luke, with the title "My Favourite Spaceships in the World Aren't in Games, or Movies, but LEGO" :D xD

      Community Fleet Contest Results!

      When I incidentally found the BI Asteroid Salvager, I merely searched the community content with the search term "salvager", to see how others build their mining ships. Maybe mr. skylord did the same, but then decided to claim it as his own design. I couldn't download the (possibly) original...

      MOSTLY FOR DEV TEAM MEMBERS - A quick report about a possible contest mistake: First off, congrats for you guys, devs and builders alike, for reaching this point in this great little contest! But it seems that someone might have been left uncredited - the main ship in...

      The paradox of the space-age: We're minuscule specks of dust adrift the cosmic winds, yet immensely significant for knowing it.

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Thanks for the suggestion... I'm kind of embarrassed a little for mentioning it, since the two salvage combos mentioned function as expected now that I tested them again. At least, now that I know they work, these are options too :D Sorry, starmade!

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Thanks for taking the time to explain this. But I actually was familiar with these operations. Slaving extras to weapon systems works just fine, and the weapons-menu shows the extras on salvage systems too, just no difference in function when used - I tested this with 100% cannons slaved to...

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Greetings, Jan! Thank you for your approving words, and sorry for the delayed reaction (forgot to hit "watch theard"). Good to know my system is appreciated. Your explanation of your solution for salvage+damage pulse was great too. Interestingly, I too encountered this problem of timing a...

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Hi, fellow citizens! :D I started this thread because I'm a big fan of mining ships and wanted to help beginner players who are interested in building more advanced salvage systems. Share the wisdom if there are better solutions for salvaging than those presented here. (I know that cyclical...

      StarMade v0.198.131 - The Main Menu

      0ldSkull - thanks for the suggestions! the rotator orientation was correct, and i've also built a similar test setup which worked properly, but with another ship though :\ Kingofanime - ah, I understand, will check the sector size, and hope this will be solved.

      StarMade v0.198.131 - The Main Menu

      Awesome job guys, but there are 3 issues I would like to report (sorry if they were already reported, and please tell me if these problems occur only with my copy of the game): 1) THRUST MECHANICS CHANGED? Was proper propulsion intentionally made harder to achieve? With this update it seems...

      Thank you very much for the offer of a showcase, that is very generous... It would sure be good to see one of my own ships showcased. But I'm still kind of early in the process of learning this art, and I'm a slow builder, so it might take a good amount of time, but I will definitely be on the...

      Messor N39 Planetary Harvester v1

      Hi, fellow citizens! :^D This is my first upload (and only my 4th serious ship ever). As its name suggests, it is a harvester meant to mine planets. As usual, I'm disappointed about how it turned out visually (I know, it's basically a big cylinder with a bridge reminiscent of an agricultural...
