      Warhammer 40k Union (With server)

      I see many 1000+ long ships with dozens of turrets in your future. It\'d be a shame if clashes between titans would become a lagfest. Maybe the new update will help -if it ever arrives.

      The Rant of Big Ship VS Little Ship

      Small vs big ship = LVL 10 barefoot newbie with a wooden stick vs LVL 90 full-epic warrior with a sword that has ten times more damage than said newbie\'s total health. It\'s mosquito vs elephant. It\'s opossum vs speeding pickup truck. Balance between the two was never meant to be. Anyone...

      New realistic armor system

      In Star-Trek Voyager, once the shields are down, you are almost dead. In any Star Trek, the Federation has very few actual warships, most being science and exploratory vessels. They aren\'t geared towards war. Naivety in the extreme if you ask me, but that\'s how the story goes. Regardless...

      New realistic armor system

      No one builds armor out of aluminium. It\'s soft and boils away from relatively little heat. It\'s alloys aren\'t much better suited for the task. Steel is a fine material for everyday earthly construction. Without more exotic alloying however, it\'s unfit for exotic uses, and even then it\'ll...

      Realistic Graphics Feedback

      I\'ll add my two cents if you don\'t mind; Using the realistic texture pack, ships look like realistic bathrooms with all those square tiles. The gaps are too large and dark between them. Communicating these concerns to anyone who could do anything about them is nigh impossible though. At...

      Lights. Lights. Pink lights, rimless lights.. so on and so forth

      has wedge and corner lights. Strange how they weren\'t copied into the official version yet. On a related note, inventories could be so much more tidy if we only had one set of colorless hulls and lights, and were able to set their color when building, or repaint them later. Heck, maybe with...

      Why the ship core?

      If you really like something, it\'s good to be thinking about how to make it better still.

      Why the ship core?

      Not sure about everyone else but I personally don\'t think the core is ugly at all. If so you\'d have to say the same about the build block, faction module, shield block, docking expanders, etc. etc. They all have the same design as the ship core but with different colors. So I think you might...

      Dave discovers that disintegrators explode

      \"- draw distance no longer an option (calculated over \"max segments\" now)\" Waaay bad. Separately setting the two values is much better. Maxsegments decides how many blocks can be displayed on your screen before your computer explodes. Drawing distance decides how far do you want to see...

      lua -e 'print("Hello World!")'

      and even that has left the game half-broken. How come no fix was released for turret turning and shop spawning? Or the AI accuracy? (the seting in the cfg file doesn\'t do anything.) How come there were fixes for alleged bugs I or my friends never encountered? How come that every announcement...

      Melee weapons in Starmade?

      what if they aren\'t on the opposite sides of that hallway? What if rifle guy turns a corner and sword guy is right there in front of him? The tables have turned. That\'s why you need a ranged AND a melee weapon. Always use the one fitting for the situation. It\'s a moot point to consider sword...

      Melee weapons in Starmade?

      Just let me build my own weapons from blocks. First thing I\'ll have is an oversized two-handed chainsword WITH a disintegrator field. Large enough to use as a shield, or to cleave smal fighter ships in twain. That\'s right. I. Will. Kill. Spaceships. With. SWORDS! ....will need a jetpack...

      Stargate Fighter crafts

      After finishing the Daedalus ( http://star-made.org/node/16804 ), we decided to take it easy today and built a collection of small fighter craft from the Stargate universe. Mostly so the Daedalus could have some pirates to shoot at, but I have to say, they're quite fun to fly. To the downloads...

      DSC-304 class "U.S.A.F ODYSSEY" Updated!!!

      It took five months but we\'re finally done. The exterior speaks for itself. Interior wise, we\'ve included every major room we could think of. Download. Explore. Enjoy.

      DSC-304 class "U.S.A.F ODYSSEY" Updated!!!

      We don\'t have a puddle jumper.* The ship core would have been very exposed in the bridge, so it\'s in the asgard core room instead. ( Visible in comment #38, the block closest to the camera. ) *: Edit: That\'s no longer true. Available as a separate download, but it\'s so small, it\'d take...

      DSC-304 class "U.S.A.F ODYSSEY" Updated!!!

      Sort of. Groups of 4 missiles. But each one identical. You can spam them continuously. And you have the main guns to tear down shields. 4 solid-line AMCs on one computer. They run about 2/3 length of the ship in service ducts, and end in a huge battery in the wings. They\'re prety powerful...

      DSC-304 class "U.S.A.F ODYSSEY" Updated!!!

      But we\'ve progressed much. Every bit of exterior detail is done. Finished interior detail since last post; -Communications tower -Engine room extras -Officer\'s quarters (with private bathrooms. ...some ended up having windows by accident, so beware of peeping wraiths.) -Mess hall...

      The comprehensive StarMade suggestion

      I\'ve written my share of textwalls but it\'s. Just. Too. Long. Rather, you should tackle one issue in one topic. One can\'t expect to be right in all of them; You probably have some good ideas mixed in with some bad. I\'ve just skimmed it, as there\'s no way I\'d read through it all, but...

      Pirate Nerf?

      there\'s way more important stuff to do. Fix player controlled turrets. Add their promised directional settings. And that big optimization thing that was mentioned, if possible. Then the new weapons. These four things matter. Everything else is wasted time before these ones get finished.

      random creativity contest (build from a pic)

      Copying takes no creativity, just attention to detail. As for not saying you just want ships... Well these look goofy enough that I wouldn\'t want to fly them in-game, but one can never tell. Especially after the example the previous contests have set. (Most titles read like this; I\'m too lazy...
