      Weapon and Defense module thoughts

      None of this helps smaller ships fight bigger ships. Quite the opposite , in fact.

      [build 0.09341#20130605_232420] Rendered textures downgraded to alpha versions

      Upon updating starmade , I found my ship reverted to a plain shade of grey , only some block faces colored blue for AMCs and yellow for thrusters. I assume the engine got confused and reverted to those for some reason. Block icons on the interface are unaffected.

      Fighter advice

      Remember that you can adjust weapon values to suit your role. Try adding AMCs and thrusters until moving and shooting can deplete power. Then , adjust the damage/range/rof/projectile speed values depending on your combat style. If you\'re going after large ships , you can forfeit range and speed...

      Cloak/jammer and hulls

      Due to the current mechanic of cloaks and radar jammers draining more power with every block added to your ship , functional stealth ships tend to be minimalistic and also rather ugly. To alleviate this , normal hull blocks should not require any extra power to conceal. This would also give...

So , while carriers could host a lot of drones , they could only deploy a few at a time. Destroying drones belonging to...

      Fighting Gigantism in Starmade

      All those considerations seem rather moot when there\'s no manoeuvering advantage to speak of - currently , ships will match speeds regardless of their size , and can also brake to disorient chasers. As a result , it\'s very easy to keep the enemy within your cone of fire , and in a predictable...

      My thoughts on StarMade

      I don\'t see how more required subsystems would deter gigantism in any way (see the main thread) as large ships can support a larger fraction of misc blocks , while also shielding them from enemy fire. Small fighters would have more critical subsystems crippled once shields are down , even from...

      I need help with Jammer/cloak blocks

      Note that merely cloaking is useless in PvP , as your ship signature will remain visible. On its own , cloaking appears to prevent pirate ships and turrets from targeting you - they will immediately lose track of you when you activate it. Adding power blocks that don\'t increase the dimensions...
