      Weapons Demonstration: News and Discussion

      So shields now scale linearly? I am going to have to strip a LOT of shields from my bigger ships in order to get them to be viable now... My destroyer does have 28613 shield modules which equals 14,163,435 with this linear scale. Originall it was only 754,725 so that's an increase of...

      Weapons Demonstration: News and Discussion

      My gaming PC is shutdown for the night so I can't double check these numbers. The ship had 14 million shields unless I am really bad at counting. The shields were set to recharge ~150000 per second as far as I can remember and the final stats were 11 million storage and 6 million recharge. 10...

      Weapons Demonstration: News and Discussion

      Holy crap shields in the release I just downloaded are REALLY broken, I'm pretty sure my destroyer now has 14 Million shields instead of the 1.4 it had before. I had to dump power tanks and generators just to get the shields to charge...

      I don't know if it will be, it really should be but I don't know. Honestly I would be really disappointed if they added this huge expandable system and then neutered it by not letting us control it via the cockpit.

      Its still a science fiction based game, it doesn't have to be 100% bound in reality and we don't know what the future will hold. Ion drives could be any kind of propulsion system that uses Ions in order to function, it doesn't have to be even close to the technology used today by NASA. Just...

      Bigger Bullets: The quest for a more epic StarMade

      So basically you want to build multiple canons without the detriment of building multiple cannons? Currently if you want to hit more than one block you need multiple cannons, additional cannons adds additional power requirements for balancing effect. Sure you want big guns to do more damage but...

      erhem ...and yes if we are able to change the color of our missiles I expect you can color them and call them whatever you want... hence why the official title should be as neutral as possible.

      Hull Armer

      Please for the love of the search feature not another one... This has been suggested so many times. Yes hull needs improving but ships should not get a huge per block bonus just because they have a lot of hull. Your hardened hull toilet in the bowels of the ship should not have an impact on...

      fair point, but still Ion propulsion today =/= Ion propulsion in the future.

      Starmade Shipyards

      Kind of off topic but my experiences in this matter urge me into responding. As long as it's not just re-uploads of the same ship, or stealing who cares. It's not a forum by itself, it's purpose is to be a central repository of your and everybody elses ships. Somebody actually downvoted one...

      How exactly does a blob of plasma track targets? Also starmade is it's own thing, it doesn't exactly have to adhere to any standard other than it's own. I am also amused when people know exactly how technology that hasn't been invented acts. I've never heard that Ion propulsion is slow and...

      Starmade Shipyards

      It would be interesting to see the metagame taken farther with an actually competitive card game where you battle with the cards themselves.

      Dave counterpart name Vote

      So this poll can probably be considered just for naming the skin in question then since the official dave female counterpart already has a name (even though she doesn't yet exist)

      Starmade Shipyards

      A problem arises when more people decide to use the Shipyard exclusively thus cutting off access to these ships for anybody who isn't interested in meta game. Having a "paid" version and a "free" version is if you are participating in the metagame it is against your interest to even use the...

      UCS Fleet Doctrine

      Most corridor sections are 3 wide by 4 high by 4 long. So there is a light and three high bulkhead every 5 meters. depending on layout some hallway sections have to be 4 wide or possibly 3 or 5 long I don't have any good shots of just hallways (who takes pictures of hallways) But I do have...

      Yeah I havent texted the balance of missiles yet in the dev build but I know the last time I checked the power requirements/damage of cannons themselves were kind of high. Now that shields should be working I can finally get some proper dog fight tests done but preliminary predictions don't...

      Starmade Shipyards

      While a cool sounding concept, I see it as being detrimental when we already have a system of free information in place. As somebody who likes to offer my ships freely and doesn't like the idea of a metagame that breeds elitism I really can't support this idea. I already find it a hassle when...

      UCS Fleet Doctrine

      I do my best to implement it in every ship but I do miss some things here and there (mostly door markings) and I'll need to expand on it as I get larger ships. All my corridors are built in a specific way so the hall markings can easily be expanded with multiple colors per bulkhead. I also...

      I still don't follow the logic that power consumption = plasma I also think the names should be as simple as possible and let the players/servers fill in lore/flavor text. As I see it, there are two ways to handle missiles, consume power or consume ammo. For simplicity Starmade opts to...
