1 of 2 new fast-attack fleet swarmers with a fun vertical layout. This fighter is focused on sustained reduction of armor with only a light ion missile to suppress shield regeneration, the paired bomber is focused on high alpha shield reduction. This is a single-entity fighter. Add a few...

I strongly suggest you work with corvettes and very small frigates for a little while then before getting into proper capital ships, and start downloading capital ships from the Community Content section to test, dissect, modify & reverse engineer. This way you will have a better understanding...

I think this is a pretty streamlined solution. It checks against entity spam and underpins a need for infrastructure in order to field a serious battle force - something that has long been lacking. The turret issue might require some finesse but is totally doable. I think to protect starting...

Wholeheartedly agree. If I cut a ship in half it doesn't fall apart. We accept such massive suspension of disbelief for the sake of performance, why should turrets be any exception. Turrets get waxed, they go dead. They don't need to go flying. Not only would this protect our servers from mass...

Pretty much. Thrust, capacitors, shields - these are all pretty cheap and your ship will be filled with them. Just run a couple single-layer hull bulkheads through any very large groups of system blocks to prevent a single nuke from vaporizing the whole lot in one go. EDIT: You can't protect...

Did I come off as using them interchangeably? Apologies - poor composition on my part. We have an intra ship remote (confusingly named "inner ship remote"). My suggestion is for addition of an inter ship remote. This is why both appear in my OP. Exactly. I can think of a few on-board...

Suggestion: Inter-Ship Remote logic block. The current "Inner Ship Remote" is an Intra Ship Remote and is fantastic, but I think we really need an "Outer Ship Remote" for sending Inter-Ship commands (ie commands between docked entities and nearby ships you control). Especially now with fleets...

If this is your first capital ship build, save advanced armor for wrapping around critical systems (computers, backup power) a few blocks deep and maybe a thick advanced armor nose cone. Plain hull should be fine around the bulk of the ship, but a single layer of advanced would work fine if you...

Yes... Because there's no reason to visit planets except to mine them. Because there's nothing interesting or even useful about them. Which is the whole point, see? :^D

Truth be told, The Vag is so notorious that haters literally migrate from other servers to whichever servers it is currently expanding or most active on just to get some action and/or see what they're deploying. This does keep things lively and drives technical innovation and bug discovery in...

This is an issue of expectations & perspective, there is no correct position. My personal position: 2.5 is the maximum speed. Take a minute to stop here and think about what "MAXIMUM" means... ... no, really... imagine if there was a "max armor" or "max dps"... ...ok, so MAX speed is 2.5...

My thinking is that because they are busy working on the new planets it's a perfect time for this. Then they can release the new planets along with randomly spawning features from a community content contest to make it even more awesome. Obviously I'd be happy just to get the planets though :)

I do use phabricator. The team is very responsive on that front and phabricator is easy to use. The only "TASK TYPE" it allows is "bug." It only mentions bugs. I did not understand this to include exploits that may or may not be bugs. Also a prominent field is "STEPS TO REPRODUCE" which has in...

Time for a Planetary Outpost community content contest? (y)

This is a brilliant idea. Keep the power. It rewards exploration with a ready-made starter base. I don't think that imbalances anything - it rewards exploration and potentially eases start-up grind for new players. Great call.

I'd love to see planets with random cities. Also, random shield generator facilities (free shield blocks). Mining / refineries facilities would be cool (free factory enhancers, cargo blocks). Research facilities. Abandoned fighter bases with a couple unfactioned, docked fighters would give a...

I thought that all the item dupe / economy exploits were closed. Those are totally a different story. But they also need to be resolved immediately. So yeah - if there are still item dupe exploits in play it wouldn't do to publicize them... unless it meant quicker closure. Considering OP ships...

So of course there is a way to report bugs. Schine does very well responding to those. There should be a way to report exploits, suspected exploits, and even just generally weird tricks. Most of these are rooted in bugs, of course. What happens to players who witness a suspected exploit and do...

alterintel or somebody please get this f***ing alt account out of here or at least remove this thread that is very clearly about alternatives to StarMade to the OFF TOPIC forum where it belongs rather than constantly at the top of "General" every time somebody bumps it here. It's far to...

This gives me happy feelings...
