      Criss' Thread

      True, but if the display-block interface improved enough along with "display-block regex-AI" the might soon be able to. If you don't beg shine to improve AI but instead suggest to implement the interface improvements for display-blocks to game-variables where they aren't sufficient to allow us...

      Will there be a full installer for Windows?

      just download the game via the launcher and make an archive of the downloaded files.

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      Because crew update won't be perfect either. Crew may need 1-2 blocks wide corridors, but there will be a doom-cube for interiors also (putting the bed next to the work station and the toilet underneath the bed or similar)

      Announcement of power rebalancing timing....

      OR Perhaps they should have posted a thread in the suggestion forum as a new user and let the shine staff bump it constantly :p I think the problem is not Shine, but the forum information exchange organisation. Peoples responding to each other easily creates 30 pages of text which few are...

      Ships emissions

      If a ship does not radiate heat but has a hot reactor in it, it will ultimately warm up until it radiates heat. Jamming/Cloaking might redirect that heat to angles from which you are not being watched.

      Reworking faction HB, HB combat situation and faction membership

      1) Who knows Battlestar Galactica? - The ship is the Homebase. But unlike BattlestarGalactica, these capital ships cannot move close to each other, except to their own faction. 2) You fly out, scout a destination and then call your Capital to that location. 3) The prep time depends on the...

      [OT] What draws you into playing StarMade over others in this genre?

      I played a lot of StarConflict and Dota2. Not voxel games, but you learn a lot about combat with it. Equal teams suck if you don't play in a group. Play with random peoples you have not met before the game starts with ships and tools you selected is a mess. * In StarConflict, maybe you have a...

      Announcement of power rebalancing timing....

      StarMade has: nice logic - poor AI nice ship customization - poor detailing below 2m³ nice ship building - to fly in empty space If SM would open the game for better AI modding and regex allows us to make highly advanced AI scripts with logic, maybe one problem is removed by the community (not...

      Perfect moment for Solar Sails

      I think solar sails combined with a sun-mirror-powered light cannon could be efficient as the light energy is very dense here. I've seen experiments on TV using some Megawatt lasers to push an object 50m into the air. A material which has a high absorption of a certain frequency while solid and...

      How to make other stations secure - Discussion Thread ***PLAYER SOLUTIONS ONLY!***

      But an intelligent attackers would use these blocks to attack your shields from a greater distance. I would use invisible blocks (deactivated force-fields) which activate when touched and use different shield entities for them. Nice one Will change if someone makes a wiki entry and...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      Depending on if you enjoy PvP or RP: PvP: SM is a voxel based game which lets you build your own ships, StarTrek, StarConflict, … they are not. You might want your own ships but the combat mechanics of another game. RP: Why should I not make an Enterprise ship and modify the warp engines to...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      If you need 10'000m³ cargo bays, you can easily have 200m³ crew space without caring about 50m³ more or less. And you could have rooms outside the primary armour layer: A training hall (sports) which isn't used during combat. A large garden on luxury ships which can be evacuated if pirates...

      Criss' Thread

      I know TG is more toward pacifism than toward war, but it makes sense that traders have for example: 7 cargo bays and 1 shuttle bay instead of 8 cargo bays. The shuttle can Act as: Passenger pickup (while the trader continues the route) Deliver small packages or devices containing information...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      Good point! Chambers are good for modular systems. Heat boxes are as bad as the boxed docking areas we had in the past! We need empty space between the topmost and bottommost hull block (or rightmost/leftmost or frontmost/rearmost)

      Power Reactors + Heat + Weapons = End of Gigantism?

      That is why you don't *just penalize* size. If you penalize size, it should have another advantage you really really want.

      Saber's Thread

      Can SM have 2 types of lights? One colours adjacent blocks (display/console screens), affects the blocks own light emission One for everything else on the block Maybe your stairs problem could be solved if they use the colour of the block underneath? It would be nice to see a maintenance...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      Many blocks, one hp value? Good! The why: 8 times volume, 2 times armour + 4 times hp. armour = armour thickness, individual shot damage reduction up to 80% of damage. hp = hp depends on the armour area. Observe Minecraft? Yes! Why reinvent the wheel? Ion thrusters, atomic thrusters, …? As...
