There was a great mod for Minecraft that, among other things, allowed players to create clones. The clones were kept in stasis chambers, and you could switch between them. It allowed you to operate in multiple locations, but it is important to note that each clone had their own separate...

I don't have any one method that I use. I find that I'm inspired to create a ship and use whatever methods seem most practical for doing so. More often than not, I'm going to start with some sketches followed by a mock-up of the ship using as few blocks as possible to see how the sketch...

How about Overdrive? Will the AI use that, or could it be turned on via remote?

The problem with replacing missing blocks is that the game doesn't keep a ship's blueprint in memory that it can draw from. It doesn't have any way of knowing what your ship is, or what modifications you may have made to a ship that you built from a blueprint. Trying to track the location...

My personal opinion is that for a "first ship" you have too much hull. My first ship is usually nothing but the components necessary for getting started. That usually means some power reactor, some thrusters, and a radar jammer. Now that they've implemented "fog of war" I'd probably try to...

Not to derail the thread, but the history nerd in me can't let this go. :) American fighters that came into use just after Pearl Harbor were faster than those of the Japanese. Certainly the Zero was more maneuverable, so U.S. strategy was to simply ignore engaging them in a turn fight. They...

I feel that some more weapon balancing needs yet to occur. It feels like I need to build some pretty massive weapons to have any real impact on advanced armor or shields. Add this to the changes to the rail system that was added, and turrets end up being ridiculous in size. When I build...

My favorite use of them was to replicate a reactor core detonation. I have a ship called the Mariner where the reactor core can be jettisoned. The reactor will explode shortly after ejection, so you'll want to make sure you're not near it when it goes up. It would've been nice if there was a...

I've always enjoyed your tutorials, Bench. You've really upped the production level over time and become quite good at making the ideas easy to follow. In your most recent tutorial, I would say that area triggers have always felt a bit sketchy to me, so I look forward to the new detection...

I dunno, I'd almost want to see the exact opposite of this - where ships are forced to jump in on top of my station. My turrets are much more accurate up close, and the enemy can't loiter outside of their range and snipe. ;)

I think the auxilliary power block was a good idea, but I feel like Schine is missing out on an opportunity to add some more depth to our ships. Something my friends and I have long wished to see in the game has been multi-block structures. Power reactors and capacitors are a small step in...

Thanks for the suggestion - I have looked for java running, since that's what I usually see when playing Starmade. It hasn't appeared in task manager when I've seen this problem occur. I've tried to look for other applications that might be associated with the game, particularly anything that...

I've been noticing that my FPS drop dramatically in other programs after I've been playing in Starmade. I've been solving the problem by rebooting my computer, but if there is an easier way, perhaps a lingering file that can be shut down in task manager, I'd appreciate any feedback on it. Thanks.

Same thing I do every day, Pinky - check to see if there are any developer updates to drool over. Every. Day.

I logged onto the server last night and my fps immediately dropped to 1. I finally managed to log out of the slideshow and restart the game. When I returned to the server, I found out what was going on - about half of the docked entities on my capital ship had suddenly dislodged causing mass...

Thankfully the ship's design is such that I should be able to adjust the docking system to work around this problem.

Thank you, I was aware of that. The drones aren't making any attempt to head towards their hangar, however. They are heading directly towards the mothership's center of mass or ship core (both near the same location.) It gets stranger - I added a separate hangar for some mining drones last...

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to answer in order: I used location to dock for them - that is, I flew to the pickup rail and let it grab hold of the drone. I do have faction modules on the fighters. I double-checked to make sure that the faction was set, since I used admin-load with faction...

Here we go again - this seems to happen to me every so often. I have a carrier and I'm trying to dock the drones to it. I've created a fleet and made the carrier the mothership. Once I add a fighter to the fleet I dock it to the carrier. After launching the fighters, I try to recall them...

Did it click when you realized you had made a pistol? :) Maybe you could make Raibenshield's shotgun ship the capital ship of the fleet.
