FYI: Soaks Mass HULL | (50+50)*1 = 100 | .05 ARMOR | (75+75)*2.5 = 375 | .15 ADV A | (100+100)*10 = 2000 | .25 Heavier armor blocks more dam/mass as you go up unless hit by pierce weapons. Also, if a weapon...

Okay, [bad supernatural being]'s advocate time... YOU ARE ALL LOOKING AT THE [NOT RIGHT] METRICS FOR A MINER!!! Mining ships don't give a [bag of fiddle sticks] about mass since there is virtually no situation where they should begin to approach server max sizes. This leaves three metrics that...

I would say the golden age for me was the months following the addition of capture points in the LvD server up to the Red Uprising. The sheer amount of mass that got killed on the server during that time was easily in the 10s of millions... turns out, a lot of it was exploited resources, but it...

So, someone asked to duel me on cake, but I need a whitelist to get on.

Sad part here is that they seem to still have so much assets that not doping should not make a difference. They still have (I mean had) tons of despoilers spread all over the place. They have just aren't co-ordinating like they used to to be able to preserve those assets.

Damnit debris, leave something for the rest of us :D

The good thing about this forum is the List button. If the List button had it's own like button, I would click it :). Basically, if someone disagrees with you, you can press the list button, find out who it was and ask a pointed question about why they disagree, but in many cases this is...

Another possibly more practical idea is to make a ship's size to damage coefficient based on volume instead of mass; so, if you make a 2km x 2km x 2km spaghetti monster, it will effectively become so fragile that AMS style waffles will be able to tear them to pieces. While this may seem to...

Well this is a neat idea. If ya'll have need of a mercenary faction for any major plot points, I could donate some of Merc Dragon's old RP ships. The Nidhog, Fafnir, Neralune, and Draco all have pretty full interiors depending on how big you would want to go.

Hi Lancake, while I respect your intentions here, I think there are more factors at play than you may be aware. I'm not sure if you have read this thread or not, but one of the points it makes is that encouraging this empty space is a major concern from a performance standpoint. I'm not...

The big problem with x-raying as this is proposed is client side lag. Seeing 10 deep could force you to render 30x as many blocks which will VERY quickly tank a lot of computers if you try doing this while looking at a larger ship. It would have to be constrained to a block radius of your...

:D that is the trick. The pilots I see do that use manually fired waffle guns; so, instead of relying on the AI, they just carpet your missile swarm with a ~200 tiny cannon-cannons.

It depends on who you are fighting. I once tried fighting a ship 1:6th my size firing 60 of those plus 140 logic fired swarmers, but he used his speed to make sure he kept his optimal distance needed to give him time to shoot everything down. No more than 10% of my total missiles actually made...

Yes, spaced armor did occur to me as a variation of that. That said, spaced armor is still (typically) a more complicated build than normal tight laid armor. Also, most people who do spaced armor on big ships still have to coat the inner layer of systems will hull or more armor if for no other...

So I've been thinking more on this topic, and come to an idea that might be a good compromise of these issues. If your ship's total surface area is a benefit (which would offer good advantages to RP builds), but too much surface area is a major detriment to titans' client-side performance and...

The "Fuck-Bomb" cruiser designed by Flying Debris is one example. I COULD be more specific, but I tend to be intentionally vague when talking about other people's builds in public forums. If anyone from the StarMade development team wants more details, they can reach out directly.

This is a bit of a misconception. In the case of firing small numbers of smallish missiles at a stationary target with no AMS, this is true, but if you are planning to pound a big ship with dozens of nukes: firing from multiple angles will make shooting your missiles down or evading them much...

There may be some variation from server to server because of sector sizes, ranges, default speeds, etc, but on many servers, a ship with an Overdrive and 1.5-2.0 thrust ratio can kite pretty much any missile class for long enough to get them to cluster, even missile-beams. Once they cluster...

There are a handful of ships out there that are built from the ground up as specialized anti-missile boat ships. These ships can kite missile swarms and waffle them once they get all grouped together for very little effort. I've seen ships fire over 100 missiles per salvo and not land a...
