And you became part of the problem despite having ample time to observe it. Always attracting newbie posters to reply to a few points and maybe posting their own wishlist of everything , further scattering the dispersion. Thread after thread gets posted , each discussing the same ideas...

The ridiculously small default speed limit is here for a reason. Sector and chunk loading speeds are limited by hardware constraints. Unless some massive structural change happens , starmade ships will always fly like helicopters rather than real-life spacecraft. The challenge is to implement...

There is no \"normal\" render distance , only default settings that anyone can change. Players with better computer specs have an advantage , seeing farther without lagging. You can\'t use that variable for game balance. It is also silly as there\'s no point aiming at any part of the ship...

Those are likely to be implemented actually , Schema said things about AI and block linking features to come.

At the moment , some ores are unique to certain planet or asteroid types ; however , they can spawn in any solar system. Planets are obvious , so you'll never have trouble finding a red one for instance. This overly resource-rich universe has the same problem competitive Minecraft servers have...

This forum needs some serious sorting. Except there\'s no \"website suggestions\" subforum...

Only a discussion of current mechanics.

Looks like you didn\'t understand my demonstration. If a ship is flying away from you and maintains his velocity vector , you cannot change your relative orientation without adding distance. If that ship is flying towards you , strafing is more effective as the distance decreases , but soon...

Why would anyone use a browser without Adblock :p

Note that you need a docked sub-ship to hold the plexdoor , otherwise the docking beam will have no effect. The only safe way to drop disintegrator mines in that case is from a standstill and one by one in the right order , moving away from them. It\'s far better to keep them on the outside of...

As the game is recent and space combat has yet to be tested with rigorous methods , opinions on combat balance differ due to anecdotal evidence. After experiencing a few typical space fights on servers with different settings , I tried to explain their outcomes based on my understanding of game...

This is from a month old update. It doesn\'t hurt to read the date of a thread before posting. Internet 101.

This has been done before with more rigorous methods. http://star-made.org/content/shield-plates It would bring a new meaning to ship jousting though !

Try posting in the correct forum next time !

I disagree that blueprint restrictions would detract from the game , they would push the average ship size down considerably and generally promote player interaction. If you want your large , blueprinted ship built , you\'ll have to find someone (in your faction or another) agreeing to supply...

It doesn\'t make for easy to build reactors due to the large number of single power blocks , however. I hope it\'s possible to combine fitness criteria into gradients , to obtain a good compromise between energy output , block and cluster numbers for a given volume. Being able to tag reactor...

It just makes the game more of a grind. Artificial mechanics are necessary to compensate for other artificial mechanics (fixed top speed) arising from hardware limitations. And there is no realism in starmade , it\'s a game about instant-built spaceships and flat earths !

As said before , if linked weapon blocks decrease the effective performance , then all you\'ll see is weapon arrays and countless turrets. If arrays and turrets are also limited , then you won\'t see any large ships outside screenshots. Large groups of modules need to remain effective in...

On second thoughts , you did bring valuable fresh ideas to the stealth discussion , but as with everything in starmade you have to think about loopholes to circumvent role restrictions. Your system of jammers vs sensors with interference from high mass makes sense , however you have to consider...

Missiles are harder to evaluate than antimatter cannons , which have a basic dps curve (single block is best) and steadily increasing range / speed. Radius is important when destroying large ships , but not small ones.
