      What did you do in Starmade today?

      NOW, i have to rant. Seriously. My faction settings in my home station got resetted like 5 times in single player survival. And from time to time I noticed it. Ofc I oversaw it, when 20 insanths decided to hop by. After making some nice holes in my unsaved salvager I construct, I am done with...

      Block Based AI Programming

      No no sir. I talk about the ability to position your own ships relative to a certain entity, like your mothership, or the enemy mothership. So you have your own flagship, and tell you fighters to make a wall at the backbord side, because the flagship wants to fire with its broadside weapons...

      Block Based AI Programming

      You have no coordinates relative to ship or flagship or enemy. (for this special thing a metadata block could be used) Also you need a filter to detect how big and heavy an enemy enitity is. (How to switch between fighters or bigger flagships?) A every complicated and advanced idea, might not...

      It's off topic, but I know one project that allready did such thing. Its called "Secure Protect Contain" and the story is around the history and files of a blacksite facility where dangerous objects and creatures are "secured protected contained" and also their behaviour is studies including all...

      Maybe one day, people create a ski fi universe with novels and artwork like Wikipedia. Where everyone can share his stuff without any law restrictions, and the best ones are picked out by the community and make it into the real novel und universe, and the other not so popular submissions are...

      A call for PvP servers

      Look, the one thing that server owners allways want is usage of their stuff. We are 2 guys. If I look over all the server I see that there are not many people who say "I want instant-pvp and not survival". That has nothing to say about how much fun it is, but how arbitrary it is and unknown. I...

      A call for PvP servers

      And is this even possible with the starmade netcode? I know that you can code some other ingame currency and items in. How do the scripts work? Is this even possible now?

      A call for PvP servers

      So how does an arena or combat focused server look like? Because I want such a server too. But if you think about the details it gets complicated. How do you prevent blueprint spamming and get good fights? Easiest idea: Whitelist. My other thoughts: First of there should be the ability to buy...

      How much time do you need to build ships below 100m?

      Guys the thread caption says: below 100m. And the first sentence says 100m long ships. Pls dont drive to mega projects. Everyone knows how mega projects handle: Big time, big plan, used once a month in multiplayer if you are lucky. Its nothing I strife for. Maybe others, and they can do so. But...

      A call for PvP servers

      I have an idea: Why not introduce a designer fee? So if you join a server, you can upload your blueprints. If they are good (not compared to others but rated by some objective score), you get money, no matter if they are getting buyed or not. Extra reward would be if your blueprint gets buyed...

      How much time do you need to build ships below 100m?

      I just began to build a salvager, and mother it takes ages to build this 100m long ship. I am seriously considering only to build small ships for the majority of the game. I mean detailing even some thrusters takes me one hour. And for the front I wanted to have some drills and designing those...

      HMSS Hephaestus

      Ha. I had one idea about this in mind: Turning the defending ship sideways and don't attack with the front at all in Titan vs Titan. Then you can blow your 200m aa-penetrating cannon into a 200m wide ship and loose like 70% efficiency. ^^ I am not a megaship builder or pvper, tell me if I am wrong.

      HMSS Hephaestus

      Definetively go for the 10 blocks deep armor, if it is for RP. 20 Might be an overkill but seriously - its fucking cool to have a real physical shield. And it looks cool if there are holes in armor too. I like it. =) If you go for combat efficiency (what you don't do and that I think is the...

      HMSS Hephaestus

      So I assume you want to make your ship as efficient for multiplayer combat as possible, and are not intending to design your armor and weapons around any RP ideas? Because that is important to answer first. Having weapons for broadside combat is only usefull if you fight against a lot of...

      How can I get this mining drill design right for my salvager?

      Nah they dont spin. ^^ Not sure if they deepen the immersion so much, compared to the amount of time it costs to set such things up. The logic is not too complicated for me, but still nothing that boosts me up. But feel free to use the design if you like to make some spinning ones. =) Yeah ofc...

      How can I get this mining drill design right for my salvager?

      Thx. To specify: I am talking about the aesthetical aspect. I just want some ideas for the cover behind the drills as example. And some other ideas might help as well.

      How can I get this mining drill design right for my salvager?

      So I try to make some new salvager, and I am stuck at the nose of my ship. Do you have any suggestions? I plan on replace the back lights of the drills with red, and let the side-spotlights stay white. Latest design: More images:

      StarMade v0.199.214 Auxiliary Power, Better Graphics, Better Textures, and Bugfixes

      I think thats just to 50% right. Antisocial behaviour: yes. But having control over and limitations to faction-, ship- and fleet-size actually help a lot to deal with it.
