I did in fact say that they are more efficient, but just like the difference between a few large cannons and many smaller ones, it is much easier to put to a fewer amount of system to good use. Imagine having to make sure that the enemy\'s damage is spread across at least a third of your shield...

Erm, you could also just add those ablative plates to your ship itself instead of docking them, it makes little difference. The only downside would be the extra mass. A lot of people think of putting on shielded external armor plates. Those are quite efficient, but each plate\'s shields only...

Heck yeah, keep it up, folks! I want to see some real competition begin to heat up!

Wow, this thread got revived? Alright, guess I better restate my opinion. The balance of large ships to small ships is tricky, because if we made larger ships just as powerful as all their components combined (No negative scaling or anything) then the game will very quickly turn into an arms...

I think having lighter craft achieve higher speeds with much less effort is a given. It fits gameplay wise, it adds a powerful and natural balance, and it resembles most space-tropes. The fun of really big ships shouldn\'t be going really fast, it should be having so many toys to play with. The...

Yet another amazing project. Why am I still surprised, though?

L-Laser space sharks? You mean space sharks with... Laaaazooor beeeams? What have you done!? Back on topic: Good first ship. Nothing completely amazing, but ten times better than the boxes some folks put out. Now please excuse me, I\'m about to have my bases overrun by hordes of box-ships.

Does it run into bay doors all the time?

Weewoo! Weewoo! Weewoo! Internet police, what\'s the situation here?

I can\'t wait to participate in some of these! ...Or get stomped, either way.

Welcome to Starmade! If you need help with turrets or factories, asking about it chat often gets a good answer.

Well, that is one rather well thought out OP. Let me put in a quick TL;DR for those of you who aren\'t English-gifted: Thruster orientation determines the direction of thrust, and thruster placement determines turn speed. Having a lot of backwards-facing thrusters will make your ship very good...

D\'aaaaawwww.... So cute! Make it laugh at people!

Doctor Ragnarok is correct. Anything more than 100 mass is going to take a hit to their turning speed, and anything more than 300 mass is at the minimum turning speed. And Shivers run down my spine at the thought of capital ships zipping too and fro like giant mutant cores.

I\'m not Schema, but in my mind having an alpha game be open and free is just asking for everyone to put in their ideas for the game. Might as well sort them into a specific place for testers to look through. Us testers DO look through the suggestions forums occasionally, especially forum...

Well well well, I\'m glad I found this gem of a thread before things get rolling further downhill. Let me summarize why the chance of suggestions being implimented is so low and why there are some rather strange ideas coming from the dev team at this point. Right now, the design team for...

Hey folks, I actually think the change in missiles is bugged right now. The total radius should remain unchanged, but the way it disperses that damage is changed. I suspect that it\'s calculating all the phases during phase 1 of the damage calculations, so the first layer/smallest radius is...

This thread is hilarious. First off, I\'d like to suggest that people be very careful to not get worked up on the forums, it never leads to anything good. Second off, I think I have to agree with both sides of the argument, if only partially. Having planets be only a county away from each...

Greetings, and welcome to Starmade!

I\'d just like to thank Hexane for the server. Although it has it\'s own problems (Every server does, it\'s mostly due to alpha code) I\'ve found a home for myself and my faction in it, as well as good friends/enemies in Star Core. Glory to Blitzwing! Glory to the Federation!
