      "All aircraft report!" Tark's intro

      I shit you not, my first ever computer had a cardboard case. Had it for months. I was pretty young at the time. My older brother made a computer case out of corrugated cardboard and we put all of the components in there. Looking back I guess it was kind of a fire hazard, or at least it would...

      debris left from a damaged or destroyed ship

      Actually just activated breakoff in the server settings and I\'m wondering why it isn\'t in the game by default? It\'s awesome. Buggy as hell, but awesome. A few fixes here and there and it could be a fine addition, provided that only objects of a certain size could qualify as having broken off...

      Eve ship size comparison video

      Watched part of a video that was suggested to me by YouTube for some reason. I've never played Eve, though it is a game that interests me. Anyway, the video is a size comparison of ships ranging from shuttles to titans, and it's pretty cool. If nothing else it provides some pretty neat ship...

      Obi's Suggestion on New Weapons

      I have to assume that the game will be balanced to make thick hulls equally viable to shields as protection. In that case weapons that can partially bypass shields sounds like a good idea.

      Space battles should be more epic

      As has been suggested before, the targeting diamond should surround the entire ship, not just the core. Doing this would make sniping the core much more difficult. But how about a sensor system? Sensors would be modules that are incredibly expensive to run, but they show key systems on enemy...

      Turrets using weapons on ship

      I\'d have thought it\'d make more sense for turrets to share shields with the main ship while keeping all of the AMCs inside the actual turret.

      The Tartaran Empire- Recruitment OPEN

      Let the fools have their tar-tar sauce.

      Space battles should be more epic

      I agree. That\'s silly, but that\'s a problem with the way AMCs work and not necessarily the fault of the shield system... though they could still do with some tweaking. I think AMCs should be a higher priority though.

      Space battles should be more epic

      People are still whining about the shield nerf? Fighters/bombers should be a viable option, as should other non-capital ships in a large battle. The side that wins should be the side that uses a variety of ships tactically, not the side that just has a fleet of near-identical giant death cubes...

      Nerf Pirates. Please.

      At the start of the game the Isanths are invincible. Took me a while to build a ship that could take even one of them on when I first started, especially since they have a habit of coming in swarms. Making the claim that they\'re not difficult and were never difficult is dick, especially when...

      FUEL - Glorious fuel

      Why not keep the current power setup and put fuel on top? If solar power is free fuel then the current power blocks should be a step up from that - extremely expensive, moderately efficient sources of infinite power. Users of big ships can choose to either have massive aounts of solar panels...

      Bha-cen Foundries

      Bha-cen Foundries guards the exact specifications closely. I am working with Mr. [DATA REMOVED] to see if we can come to an agreement concerning publications of weapon DPS, shield strength and so on. Unfortunately, Mr. [DATA REMOVED] is very lazy, so getting ship stats posted may take some...

      Dynamic lights and shadows?

      Not from the sun, though. Plex lights create shadows, sure, but I\'m saying that the sun should be a legitimate light source, not just a bright glow.

      Spinal-Mount Cannons (Super weapons)

      I like this. Feels kind of weird that a capital ship fires the same projectiles as a fighter or a corvette. The turrets should be a big ship\'s primary means of offence and defence against smaller ships, with the death beam or whatever acting as a weapon to take out other larger ships. These...

      Upon downloading the game on another computer, I recieve a message about a virus

      It\'s probably your anti-virus. Try disabling it or see if there\'s a way to add the launcher to exceptions. Also be certain that you\'re downloading the launcher from the Star Made website rather than from some external site.

      Dynamic lights and shadows?

      I know it's early days, and probably too soon to be suggesting aesthetic things but still. I think the way the game looks would be immensely improved if the only light source was actually the sun rather than some infinitely distant cosmic lightbulb. Place a light at the center of the sun that...

      Plexlights

      Would also be nice if lights on the exterior of a ship could light other objects besides the ship, for example have a small probe explore a dark cave or an unlit space station.

      Okay, someone is going to scream at me for this (an AMC thread)

      Hard limits limit the creativity of those who play the game. If people want to have shotgun arrays then so be it.Soft limits can and should be implemented, however. A post before me mentioned that each new array adds 10% more power consumption, and that sounds good to me. Maybe that could be a...

      Dude needing help

      I\'m pretty certain this is a bug, but it seems to have no detrimental effects besides an annoying message. I\'ve seen posts from people claiming that they\'ve allocated, like, 32GB of RAM to the game and still get the message. Alternatively you might not have enough RAM allocated, so if you\'re...
