There's a perfect wrench Schine can (and probably will) throw in those plans. I'll bet things like reactors and stabilizers will require crew members to be able to access them. Have fun building kilometer-long corridors.

Presumably we'll be delegating basic ship functions to NPC crew members when that update drops. I'm not sure how far that will go in regards to even the most basic ship functions like firing spinal-mounted weapons and navigating, but presumably it will go pretty far since the devs clearly...

Oddly enough, when I tried loading up the game again today, my ship was visible. The error message was still popping up every few seconds though, so I saved an up to date blueprint and deleted it. The ship is only 90m long so obviously it's not larger than a sector, although I was flying it...

Nope, this is a ship I built from scratch myself with creative mode.

The notices that I complained about in this thread: What is this blocking half my screen in singleplayer and why do I need to know about it? were spawned by NPC factions, so I didn't care about deleting them to get rid of them. But now my own ship that I was working on has disappeared...

I'm sure Schine will have thought of that. Like, not making a room count as a room if it's filled with blocks.

They might, it depends on the balance. They also might build more interior rooms, which the devs want to encourage, since future updates will require that you crew your ships with NPCs.

I don't have any PVP experience tbh, but as I understand it, it's recommended that you use basic hull everywhere. This keeps the mass of your ship as low as possible, reducing the power you have to devote to thrust, in turn allowing more power to be devoted to shields. Shields are far more...

Evidently it was some sort of error with the universe I was playing in. I made a new universe and the messages stopped.

Notices like these keep popping up. It's pretty annoying.

Guys I don't think there's much point in whether or not the power update should go ahead, it's obviously mostly complete already, and turning back would just waste all the man-hours that went into it. Schine decided to take the plunge and I can't imagine them ever going back on it. Personally...

New feature in development confirmed

Well, I've got to say, comparing the picture of the one-block... "planet"... in the OP to this gif, I'd guess that the gif is of a real planned feature? It'd be a pretty cruel joke if this beautiful terrain was part of april fools as well. :P

My word... If you haven't figured out the password yet... keep at it... it's worth it...

I particularly like the engines. I might steal them <_< >_>

Glowing maneuvering jets would be way better than flat blue circle maneuvering jets!

This is what happens to in-development software. It goes through multiple iterations. Like the planets: first we had pancake planets, now we have pentagon planets, and soon we're getting something else? Is any of this really necessary? Schine could probably slap a 'release version' label on...

Why should it? I don't see any reason for this. Science fiction films show very nice looking ships with full, complete, even comfortable interiors being effective in battle, shouldn't the developers of our science fiction ship building game strive to produce the same experience? Pretty ships...

Don't forget, Starmade is still in Alpha. The goal for Schine right now is not to preserve playerbase, the goal is to create the best damn 1.0 version they can. Remember that... someone, I don't remember who (Criss maybe) said that Starmade has not used any of the advertisement runs each game...

The proposed system won't make ships automatically prettier. What it will do is allow ships to not have to sacrifice prettiness for effectiveness, and vice-versa. That's all I'm saying. If a typical warship only needs 5% of its volume filled to have all the power it needs, whether or not...
