Thanks! The biggest challenge for such builds will be lighting. Lighting doesn't propagate far enough in StarMade, so most "interiors" will tend to be very dark at a significant scale. (The middle of surfaces without lighting details will be the darkest.) Lights at this scale will be used to...

Long overdue pictures! Engineering floor (bottom-most internal level): Nosecone with prominent twin 25x10 cargo doors (The nose docking point has not yet been enhanced): Inside the cargo bay (up is forward, where the twin cargo doors serve as the roof): On that last picture, the post...

Most other space battle games have pre-made ships, which are designed with heavy RP in mind, so that the player isn't vaporized repeatedly on the first sortie (wouldn't be fun). The only exceptions might be special "boss" dreadnaughts that can hit extra-hard. You'd pretty much have to somehow...

I think this would be a good option for servers, and that the default game should come with an infinite size setting, such as -1. As for doomcubes, well, the kids are just going to have to exercise some self control or risk expulsion, just like on any other server.

Drill extraction sounds great! I don't know if I have seen that kind of suggestion before. I think it solves many of the planet-devouring versus planet-value arguments cleanly. I'd still like to see some rare ore biomes (not just random collections of ores, but rare chunks that are almost all ore).

Ship Interiors Replicas for ship internal spaces from Science Fiction Hello. So I was reading through another thread that discussed how shipwrights in another game can build detailed ship interiors, which we cannot do. I believe this is because that other game has more blocks (on the order of...

Regarding the OP: How do you calculate how long or short the rating-comment needs to be? If you don't, people will not put in anything, except maybe to reiterate the name of the rating. It will be unused. It's much better to leave full comments. In a few rare cases, a comment shows a spark of...

Name suggestion: Gravbore (uses artificial gravity to push atmosphere out of the way, or some such technobabble) It's a fun variation on an idea that has been kicked around before. Along with atmospheric effects, I have seen a pattern emerge: when suggesting atmospheric effects, most suggesters...

You got that right! The main cargo bay is now enclosed behind the forward docking point. Some parts are better than expected, some are worse. It's all-around a satisfying resolution. The actual docking bay is as good as I had hoped. In my design and drawing phases, I keep forgetting that I...

Yes. Of course, extra donations are always welcome.

I agree, but think the resulting ambient light should be a very pale hue, as shown in the OP pictures. Black hole: reduced ambient light? Blue sun: light blue Red: pink Yellow: yellow (is pale enough)

Fix: "And not knowing if the ship that is approaching you is a completely decked out harbinger of death or a civilian planet salvager or bulk freighter should be a part of the game experience."

I was thinking of ease-of-use, but Block IDs are more important. It should be just a single block type, with the white color as the default.

Oh, I'm not talking about animating the surface of the block. I'm talking about putting dots into space above the block. Like embers that float up out of a fireplace. I'd love to see electrical arc blocks. Harder to make work right. Electrical arcs would be cool, and would be neat to see on the...

I have been watching a play-through of Half Life 2 and got inspired by some of the visuals. We need a way to decorate our ships with translucent particle streams. The particles would each be a simple 2D billboard displayed in 3D space, moving away from the emitter block. 9 new blocks in two...

I can understand what you mean, so I'm careful not to put light near my vents. That way, the shield "fans" are just barely visible, and won't really register unless you look closely. I can definitely see black hull creating the illusion of a deep tunnel. If we get a fan deco block, I think it...

I normally put shield capacitors (The yellow block with the rotating animation, versus the orange shield generator block with the linear animation) behind all my internal grills, to simulate fans. It's a little brightly colored to be a fan, but I consider that "safety yellow".

Here's a big turret blueprint that looks unusually interesting to me: The Goblin http://starmadedock.net/content/goblin-mpv-multi-purpose-vessel.2060/

Hello, boarding parties!

I think if you follow the instructions in the following link (replacing "Minecraft" with "StarMade" where necessary), and running a single-player game, you should be able to make Evolve work with StarMade. (A single-player game is simply a full-blown StarMade server on the local machine, so you...
