Yeah, placing 750 blocks is actually a pretty trivial operation for the game to run; 15.6 million is another question entirely :P

750 blocks? Wat? 250^3 = 15625000 blocks...

Oh, speaking of jumping fleets, how will fleets and FTL be handled? Hell, will they be handled? Because if not then fleets will be an almost purely defensive measure... Which ruins about 3/4 of what excites me about the update.

The whole reason it's limited is that large mass placement is laggy. You can go into your local server configuration file and increase the max build limits in your singleplayer game, but if you make it something completely nuts (say, 1000x1000x1000, which you can totally do) don't be surprised...

Yes but I like the nebulas D: They're just too bright and too common. If somebody could point me to the file that is used to generate them I might be able to poke at it a bit...

I like the aesthetic StarMade has going, but I'd say to tone it down a little. Increase the size of systems some so there's space in between, modify the background generation algorithm so that not every system is full of bright green or pink threads running everywhere (In fact that should be...

Yeah, that's kinda a bug, not a point of argument. Hopefully explosions and weapons magic'ing through entities to hit others will be fixed somehow.

Criss, I suggest that you save yourself and everyone else some trouble, and cap ship sizes at 450-500. Optimization can only go so far, and I don't especially like the prospect of saving those monstrosities in server databases either. Never even mind the fact that not everyone has a GTX-980 and...

So in that case, Bench, I'd assume that Quarters will randomly generate the appropriate crew when NPC factions spawn ships?

Spaceships! (Forgot to add fighters though)

...And with the completion of the Ajir-class, the Aethi Imperium how has a continuous fleet lineup from corvette to cruiser.

Oo source code! I want to ask, but... not gonna ask...

The most recently-released dev build is just the original release build's files before they were copied to release branch.

The question is, though... where's the build? It's already theoretical release day o_O I've been checking the Index of /build/dev/ obsessively...

My plan: Stock up on corvettes and frigates to escort my larger ships and mining vessels... Then laugh when I'm the only one who properly prepared for the update because everyone else was expecting tons of capabilities that aren't actually in it.

Well, I don't know much about it, but a java .jar, when unzipped, is full of resources and class files. I'd assume that, without obfuscation, you could freely pop open the class files in Notepad++ (or anything else, for that matter) and edit things... And crack/steal the game for redistribution...

Obfuscation is going through (or having a program go through) and scramble the release version of your code's variables, method names, class names, comments, etc. so that it's hard to figure out what it does. The code itself remains functionally the same. AFAIK everything's name in the code...

I don't exactly have experience with them, but isn't a D100 just a ball with golf-ball-like divots? You can technically make something similar with sufficient size, but unless it's immense and spans multiple sectors (which would cause a lot of bugs and/or programming challenges...) there would...

With every passing day, the Ajir-class Heavy Destroyer approaches completion... Application declined.

If you're flying what I think you're flying, the solution is to take apart what's left and build something better...
