So there should be a new effect, because there is a gap in the current existing setup. Synchronizing relative velocity, aka it is a royal pain in the behind to try to use the pull as a tractor beam. Why? because you have to be extremely careful about the amount of force you provide otherwise you...

Hello everyone. This page is for all of the ships that I am working on for my fleet, which I call the TCDF (Terran Colonial Defense Force) Here's a picture of my station with all the ships docked to it; I'll upload images of one of them once I finish my refit. (which should be today)

First-XOR blocks. Why? because XOR is the only gate that will toggle whenever an input is toggled. If I want to have my hanger doors controlled from 8 different logic blocks, I need to make 7 2-input XOR gates out of the other logic blocks. (I believe it takes 9 logic blocks for that.) With a...

So, I was looking at the blockBehaviorConfig.xml file in the dev build and thinking that while the weapons part is fairly robust in customizablity, the other mechanics (power, thrust, shields) seem to be slightly more limited. First part of the changes is for different types of blocks to...

So, anyone who has used the pulsars knows that they are slightly unwieldy and hard to use. Since most of the desire for pushing other ships comes in the form of launching stuff from carriers, and having all of those bubbles and crosses everywhere is a pain. Its a new computer/functional block...

When the game loads, there is a brief point where I can only see the entity markers of undocked objects. Then everyting loads normally When pirate waves arrive, no ship is visible. The entity marker is. The pirates are incapable of attacking, blocking shots, and anything besides moving around...

When I attempt to submit a bug report, the tool is able to zip the logs, but then attempting to connect times out. Error message: ConnectExceptionConnection timed out: connect

A block that allows weapons to burst-fire. Useful for missiles, artillery, and anything else that's slow Connect them to a weapons controller to get them to work. So, new implementation concept that is less OP, but same basic idea: Now weapons store energy to fire, and reload time is based...

So hopefully one of the features that will be added soon is mechanical blocks - blocks that allow shipbuilders to make vents that open, missile hatches, doors, and any and all cool moving bits of a ship. So 3 types of blocks (actually would be 5) First would be purely cosmetic: exposing glowy...

First, NPC pathfinding has a lot of trouble with plexdoors. I found I have to set them to follow and walk through the door to get them to follow me. Second, at one point while trying to get an AI to goto from a docked ship to my station, I got a nullpointerexecption from the server and when I...

Okay, so Calbiri said that we would have to set what proportion of thrust and speed we get in each direction. Different types of thrusters - someone mentioned having thrusters that give a low top speed but high thrust. Can we also have a low-thrust high-speed thrusters? Coil thrusters - what...

So I was watching the recent chat with Calbiri and they mentioned a few things, and I had a few ideas. 1. Dynamic lighting/ lighting up other things. They mentioned having a spotlight as a one-per-ship/station deal, but what about as a hotbar item? That prevents a player from having a...

I'm using the prebuild, v .105, and I have no idea how to get AIs. Apparently there's supposed to be an NPC at the shops, but I haven't seen any. And yes, I know this is probably a facepalm offense

Turrets, when c is pressed, snap to face front, in exactly the same way ship does, even if the turret location does not allow it, then snap back immediately when the key is released.

I had two problems: one, Bobby AIs were only working intermittedly, and when they did, I got an error message, something about FSM and the AI on the server. Second, during a pirate raid, I got an indestructible Isanth. There were at least three others, but this one hung on even with myself in a...

This is the page for all of the craft used by the Terran Colonial Defense Force. Motto: A shield for worlds. Unoffical motto: The best defense is a destructive offense. Ships---------------------------------- Merlin MkII shuttlepod Chrysaetos Merlin------------------------- This is the...

1: the docking system should have "points" like the weapons computers. The default number of points is 18 total, 3 in each axis both positive and negative. (Z+/-, Y+/-, X+/-). If Z- had zero points, the docking area would not extend past the back of the docking module. You can distribute these...

Part 1 applies to both turret and fixed docking ports. Now that Schema is implementing a system that supports more forms of rotation, docking ports should be able to be oriented in 24 different directions (6 faces of the cube, 4 directions for each face) and have the craft face in the same...

Right now, shotgun arrays of AMCs are the only viable weapon choice for starmade. Single cannons fall behind in DPS, and waste damage on hull. d1000s miss, KBs can hit your allies, and BBs take a while to lock on. Right now we have a lot of rock versus rock. So why are shotguns so powerful...

There are a bunch of small problems/issues/bugs with the game that need work. Here are the ones I've noticed: -Symmetry doesn't change the orientation of docking ports. So if I put a docking port on one side of my ship, facing horizontal, on the other side the docking port faces inward...
