      Fix StarMade, Release the frakkin API!

      I understand where you are coming from here - small dev team, not a lot of time for side projects. Makes sense. And this is where I step in and laugh. Please. Incredible plans? Don't circlejerk. Cut to the chase. You don't want to add an API because Schema and his two helpers don't have...

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      I'm done here. Once again SMD lives up to its expectation. I'm gone. You guys can't see any viuewpoint but your own. Sorry. Back to the fun of the Fleet.

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      All of which was stated in some way or another in Bench's dev blog thingy. Also, hello. I see you are new to how project development works. :)

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      I'll just quote my now deleted (thanks, testers!) bug report: || Usually this isn't much of an issue in SinglePlayer, but it does occur there on occasion when the number and size of AI ships reaches a high enough number. In multiplayer on most any server (even locally hosted with 2-3 players)...

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      You assume that: People always build interiors in their ships (most don't). Those interiors are continuous (not always true, even without transporters). The devs actually implement a proper boarding system that's functional and not game breaking (unlikely). Starmade is about freedom of design...

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      Exactly. It also has no advantages over 'regular' ship combat aside from the exploit BS. I only have to be in a star for around five -10 seconds to kill off any intruders. A heal canister or two should suffice to keep me alive for the duration. Boarding wouldn't be viable even if...

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      This isn't a bad mechanic or even an imbalance. Boarding is a buzzword that the devs have been throwing around lately when they release new astronaut tools. It's not even in the game and it won't be unless starmade's combat mechanics change dramatically to favor it. Boarding is a pipe dream...

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      Lol. LOL. Lecic, go pvp please. It is impossible to board ships, and me filling my hallways with swarmers or hull blocks isn't going to change that. And I'm not even saying it is possible to get to the SKIN of the ship. You'll get murdered long before then. Make your own hallway? With what...

      Transporters: no transport on same entity

      I'd like to get a few things straight here: According to the 'transporter meta', transporters can't 'work' through shields. Thus, the shields have to go down in some manner when a transporter is used. Between the same entity (SST) or between two docked entities the shields shouldn't drop...

      Imperial-II Star Destroyer 0.19488

      This is a replica of the ISD-II, seen in the original Star Wars trilogy at least a dozen times. It uses teleporters instead of hallways and comes with a super fast shuttle. At 315m in length, this thing is NOT to scale - though it is close. General stats: Mass: 65,000 Thrust: 50,000...

      Where did all the playerbase and faction fun go?

      The discussion evolved. It happens to basically every thread in existence.

      Where did all the playerbase and faction fun go?

      Wonderful. I was never told that. Why wasn't I told that..... Thank you for clearing that up, Lancake. Now about those rail bugs..... :)

      Where did all the playerbase and faction fun go?

      Wanna know why I play with the shroomies? No Ender stahp Because we have wars and disagreements and all that without it becoming personal. That's the line Tom and the admins draw every time. Do what you will but don't make it personal. And you know what? People notice when they come on the...

      Where did all the playerbase and faction fun go?

      There's a reason most of my ships are as logically simple as possible. I don't get these bugs because my most complex logical circuit in my modern ships is a five block clock for running lights. And AFAIK plus and a couple other admins basically went around to everyone's shop setups and...

      Where did all the playerbase and faction fun go?

      Which is exactly why it needs to be mentioned to the testers. We testers aren't perfect, but neither is the cat god. I don't think a massive detailed changelog is necessary - just a "hey we revamped this or that a bit". Would be nice

      Where did all the playerbase and faction fun go?

      Schema and crew made some prepatory changes to storage blocks for cargo. Storages broke upon sector reload after the new patch. There is a super obvious connection there. Unfortunately, Schema didn't tell the testers that he changed that particular system, so it wasn't tested extensively...

      Where did all the playerbase and faction fun go?

      Let me exit my lurker cloud for a bit.... Right. Reasons the game is in decline: 1. Over-moderation on the forums. This has been covered before, it's not new. 2. Favoritism by the dev team (not necessarily everyone, just a few certain folks) for people they personally know. 3...

      Immobilizer Light Cruiser 0.19488

      This is the Immobilizer Light Cruiser, more commonly known as an Interdictor Star Destroyer or just 'that weird one with the balls on top.' It's got 35k Jump Inhibitor modules, which it can run without losing power. Unfortunately, it has a very specific role in that regard, and has crappy...

      Mushroom Fleet: Shogunate Season 2 (ending December 2015)

      Gotta say that playing on the new universe is quite enjoyable compared to the last few - mostly because there actually are "things" to do besides spawn in my best ships and fight people with them. Can't wait for the first big fleet engagement so I can take the Executor out for a spin :D Lol...
