      Turret aiming but not firing?

      I have an even weirder one... Do any of you know why larger AI missile turrets don't fire in the same direction that they're pointing and vise versa? As you can see, the turret on the left is firing at a wide offset from its point of aim. Meanwhile, the one on the right is aiming right at the...

      What do you listen to while playing StarMade?

      I often have custom sound tracks queued up when I play. Each song in the playlist will have a similar tone but is noticeably different depending on what's going on in my game. Here's an example of one of my favorite lists. Mining or moving a convoy Pirates attack Building a warship Back at...

      Two things... 1) If you're going to quote me, be a good sport and tag me... nulitor ;) 2) Someone who relies on game glitches and exploits to get ahead in the game is going to become very unpopular online. Just saying...

      Tips for cloaking ships

      Well, here's the catch. The output of those reactors is more affected by their physical layout than just block count. The total amount of blocks alone won't get you the information you need to to properly calculate. You should focus on the dimensional volume (all 3 axes) of the block groups...

      Tips for cloaking ships

      Curses! foiled again... You know what they say; If you can't be the first, make sure you're not the worst... :confused: I'll try and see if I can fit engines and a jumper on it and still keep it stable. I want to see just how far we can push this.

      Tips for cloaking ships

      Don't misunderstand. This isn't about competition. It's just good clean fun. When someone says things to me like; "No way! You can't do that! That's impossible! :eek:" I have no choice but to exceed your expectations. That's what being a builder is all about; rising to the challenge...

      Smallest count? Sorry but I don't have the exact number. But have a look at this little guy. SR-SB1 (Dare Devil) An ultra light deep space reconnaissance craft/stealth bomber. Dimensions: 11m long, 11m wide, 6m tall, mass; 12.4. Equipment: 2 torpedoes, cloaking device, radar jammer...

      Gotcha. Personally, I'd like to see both options implemented. What is BVR?

      Turret Priority

      ...or leave them set to "selected target" and add a hotbar button to turn turrets on and off.

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      That's basic hull at the moment. Unlike the Pathfinder series, I designed this ship to be a long range fleet support ship. It's somewhat lacking in defense but makes up for it with the ability to quickly tear through shields and armor. I can coat it with advanced armor to increase durability...

      True. The system will only be as secure as you make it. That includes hiding the password display correctly and sharing the code(s) with only your most trusted allies (no new recruits allowed) As far as sharing methods go; other players cannot see emails sent to a specific player; nor can...

      Inter-faction cooperation

      I run a one-man faction and typically form alliances with other factions, so I'm going to run into this issue very soon as well. My proposed solution is to make extensive use of the new sensor and display block functions to create password protected doors; which in turn restrict access to...

      Using ships as modular turrets.

      My pleasure. Now, you've sparked my curiosity. With everything I've learned about power efficiency over my last half-dozen builds, it is inevitable that I create a more effective version of my orbital defense gun; something truly flawless. This thing deserves a rebuild!

      Using ships as modular turrets.

      In most cases, I can agree with a lot of what you say but you can offset these problems by making sure that your "turret" is actually a 3 part assembly. The trick is; getting enough power and thrust built into the main 'parent' unit, while building the gun body in such a way that it protects...

      Using ships as modular turrets.

      Nope. Trust me; it can be done and it can be done in such a way where the turrets will fire. You just have to do it right. ;) These are small scale examples. These little "Close Formation Defensive Fighters" were built to serve only as turrets but with a little more thrust and an...
