Someone relatively new to the game on my server asked if this was a thing, and it's actually good enough to be worth passing on. Tracking beacons, as in a block that puts the coordinates of the ship it's on into your nav computer as a saved location. I know administration commands can already...

Many times when I am building a station (and sometimes a ship) I will build a large amount of core blocks that are linked together in ways that would be a pain in the butt to re-do. I'll then decide that I really want say a spinning ring going around that core. Thing is, that core is very...

We currently have the Rail Docker block. The block that lets you hook onto rails, where the entity you are in becomes docked to whatever you were docking to. Pretty straighforwards. But what if we flip that relationship 180 degrees for a Station Docker block, where whatever you hit with the...

So when you make a Missile/Beam combo lock-on torpedo, you have no choice but to have all of the missiles go after the same target. You only get one lock-on per shot. Could we make it where if you have multiple arrays connected to the same computer, you get the normal buildup time for the...

Could we perhaps have a way to either assign hotbar rows to cameras, or to have it remember which row we were in for any given camera? Reasoning behind it is that I will often have cameras in different places on my ship for specific reasons, like one near my rail docker because I can't see the...

So, last night I was helping a returning oldbie that hadn't played in nearly a year get set up on our server, explaining how the new stuff worked. Gave them a million creds for a station, a mining ship, everything they'd need for a quick start, and they go off and find a nice system to claim...

Salvaging stations or large, dark asteroids both present a similar issue. You lose track of one or two dark colored blocks on a black background, you can't find them again, and now you've got 2 blocks of something fouling up your radar targets. Could we get an optional setting to allow you to...

Finally established enough on a new server after my old one shut down, to the point that destroying planets is on the table again. Question is, do planetary fragments still stay on the map indefinately? Last time I nuked a planet and ate the plates, their markers on the galaxy map never went...

Ever since we went to rails, the beams have come from the rail dockers and not the core of the ship like in ye olden days. Which means for larger ships you are pretty assured to not be able to see the beam from your main flight vantage, which means you need a camera near your docking port...

So I was building a ship the other day and dropped what I'd consider a medium sized turret in place. Overall mass of about 90. Got the "This entity is too heavy" notice. "Okay," I thought, "thats fine. I don't have any enhancers in place yet, so that makes sense." I proceed to drop 100...

Anyone think they'd be up to creating a Warforged skin?

So the server I was on closed down, and I started up on a new one. One thing I had forgotten about while tooling around in my frigates and capitol ships on the old server, when you're in nothing but a piddly little miner ship that doesn't even have a hull or weapons, just bare power and salvage...

Hey all, been too busy to play for a couple of months. Last I played the rail patch had just dropped. Can anyone give me a quick overview of whats happened since then? Don't need anything super detailed, just basic idea. Like I'm hearing that cannons and beams got some passive effects, and...

So, long story short my Windows 8.1 was fried by a failed windows update and I had to do a system refresh. That wiped out a lot of programs, but fairly sure I've reinstalled everything that Starmade needs. Thing is, it won't launch. I can run the starter.exe, it says I have the most up to...

Okay, so we all know that the game would be better with more sound effects, music, etc. Most of us also realize though that this is basically window dressing and that the priority focus is on making the game functional right now, and then later on we can put the icing on the cake. However...

Does anyone know of a way to get a blueprint of an asteroid? I'd like to start a new home base that is build into/on an asteroid shell, but apparently you cannot put a build block on an asteroid, nor can you get one as part of a dropping a station on it. Really don't want to have to build an...

Okay, to be brief, I cannot seem to make a rail move in three dimensions. I've watched Bench's video, as far as I can tell I've done what he's done, and it just doesn't work. Forwards and backwards, change to side to side, thats fine. As soon as I try to get it to go up, it just hits the wall...

Common Scenario (for me at least): Get to work on a big ship, work on one side for half an hour, get everything perfect, zoom out... and realize you forgot to turn on mirror mode. There's no way to easily mirror what you just did, so you go back and start deleting and replacing the blocks you...

The rail system lets us use logic to basically hotswap blocks out, change one one block into another at will. Can we make this apply to display monitors as well? In my capitol ship, I have a big main viewscreen made of displays that the original plan was to just draw some ASCII stars and...

I'm building the new spawn station for our server, and the admin requested that I ensure that new players have to read the rules before they can enter the universe. So, I came up with a rail based door that requires the player to punch in a correct sequence on a keypad to open it, and put the...
