Yeah, but most weapons don't require the target to sit perfectly still for extended periods of time while the trap is set up either. By the time you could Stop a ship, power drain it enough so that it couldn't charge a jump, run an inhibitor enough to take out any jump they already had, and...

Well, main problem with a tholian web in Starmade is the Jump Drive. Unless you have a crazy powerful Jump Inhibitor, you're not going to be able to trap a ship anywhere.

Okay, I'm working on parts of a station that are just huge amounts of precise copy/paste work, so I'm hitting this bug CONSTANTLY now. It isn't consistent, so I'm wondering if anyone has spotted a pattern to it yet that can be exploited to avoid it until it can be fixed?

Sure, but they'd also like to get paid for their work, and I doubt Schine has that kind of money to throw around. An entry level programmer is generally going to run you around $50k a year, one you could trust not to screw up if they aren't watched constantly is going to run more in the $75k a...

I really can't help but point out, again, that this is really a very false comparison. Anyone that is looking at Starmade being in production for 5 years by one guy and comparing that to the development cycle of professional game studios that have dozens or even hundreds of people on staff...

Huh, I swear I remember hearing variations on it. Though it could very well have been a mod, I had several flavor enhancement mods installed. But no, there is no Scandinavian saying of that. It (the idea that its referring to marriage) is entirely made up after Skyrim came out. There are...

No, it isn't. That was a silly rumor that went around. There are no recorded historical uses of it in that context. Plus, there were many other "I used to be an adventurer until I took an X in the Y" like "sword in the gut" that the guards said as well, making it quite clear that it was just...

Holding shift decreases your forward momentum (aka, puts on the brakes), it doesn't decrease your angular moment. Aka, when you do a roll, the only way to stop is to either let it slow down on it's own, or hit the button to roll the opposite direction. When you're trying to align to something...

Voice acting of NPCs for quests or general "walked past a crew in the corridor", no thanks, I'll pass on that. Some limited voice acting for the computer, TNG style? I could go for that. Voice as a glorified sound effect good, voice as "I don't care what you think, random NPC, just STOP...

No, I don't mean my FPS drop, I have a beast of a machine, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I was using force fields to box in a small drone shipyard, server hit heavy load, somebody blamed it on the force fields. Which honestly sounds like BS to me, force fields, doors, or any other...

Well thats either going to have to be an option on a case by case basis, or its useless to me. I actively use logic pipes as decorative elements, an all or nothing switch isn't worth having for me.

Something that got said on server the other day that I hadn't heard. That large force fields (as in the blue/yellow/red force field blocks in large continuous sheets) cause unusually high amounts of difficulty for the server. Can anyone else confirm/deny if this is the case?

I would love to be able to have docking effects for my shipyard the same way I have for the rest of my docking areas. Turn lights on/off, have gangplanks extend when a ship is docked in the shipyard, etc. Only problem, can't put logic blocks on shipyard anchors or they block the actual ship...

And its been ONE GUY for most of those 5 years. But its okay, the entire dev team has now ballooned to... three guys! Seriously, dude, relax. Its their game, its got an incredibly limited number of people working on it, it will take some time. Let them get the game at least moderately...

Especially after the incident I had the other day where I made the mistake of trying to have a shop and use it as a bank. Turns out I didn't set all of the buy buy prices to 1 and somebody decided to clean out my server's life savings by selling a ton of worthless junk. -_-

Eh, thats not really an issue anymore. They've already flat out said that block count is not an issue, that they can update the byte length to accommodate as many block IDs as they need whenever they want and that it isn't that big of a deal. Decorative blocks are a low priority mostly because...

Well, there is no checkbox for "Me Only", because if you saved the blueprint you always have access to it. The other checkboxes are only for Faction (only faction members can use it), Home (can only be obtained from your faction home base shop), and Other (meaning public access, everybody can...

And for 2 of those years there was all of one guy coding the entire thing, and only within the last year has the development team ballooned to... three guys. Compared to MMO teams that have dozens of people on the teams. Remember, until very recently, Starmade was basically being made by some...

Have already been discussions about better banking in the game. But one I don't think we've see before: Make money take up space, and then have a bank block with it's form of cargo to hold the money in. Just so we can have bank vaults full of money that piles up until we can jump around in it...

As I understand it currently, if the server config has respawn on: The asteroid content of the sector is essentially set on sector discovery. As in, first time the asteroids in the sector spawn in, they are "fixed". If you eat the entire sector, every last block, then after a set amount of...
