      Torpedo and Weapon 2.0

      Agreed. And for the record, there IS a way to make an unguided bomb-based torpedo; though they are somewhat larger than what I'm used to. They can be "effective" against stationary targets, (with a few pluses and minuses) but the inertia effect that the bombs have make them impractical...

      I don't get Starmade anymore.

      Considering how many people don't jump straight into titan building, (especially in their early learning stages) and considering the OP essentially said he/she doesn't know how to build (not how big) I'd say you're the only one "missing" things. From the OP's original post: Instead of...

      I don't get Starmade anymore.

      Actually, I am. And as klawxx demonstrates, I'm not the only one. There's more to appearance than trying to emulate a curve or slope. If it somehow, psychologically "injures" you that StarMade does not allow for the "resolution" needed for perfect curves/slopes, then that's your...

      I don't get Starmade anymore.

      There's more to aesthetic building than just trying to make "all these squares make a circle". DBZA references aside; there is a LOT that can be done with regard to a ship's appearance in the sub-100m size range and even the sub-50m range. I'm kind of a living proof of that. Though not...

      I don't get Starmade anymore.

      1) Your motivation: You started playing the game and want to get better. This is understandable and admirable. Anyone who would flame you for this isn't worth listening to. 2) Your problem: Lack of understanding of ship systems and aesthetics. In other words; you are neither an engineer...

      Shipyard beauty!

      There's some awesome looking yards on here. I need to start a new shipyard for my updated ships. In the mean time, here are a few pics of my previous yards built onto/into different models of the Mobile Command System. This is a shipyard (station) with an older M.C.S. (Mobile Command...

      Small Simple Requests

      Nice. I have a similar setup to yours but I use the other metal bars so the arm rests sit at a more realistic height. I also have a 40in holographic view screen to interface with the onboard "Cross-linked Biometric Optical Xentrometer". (X-Box) for... "training simulations" ;) Small...

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      That last Lancer model looked a bit plain. Time to finish it up with a "minor refit". This version will be able to be re-purposed via modular components; similar to the original pathfinder transport. LANCER MKIII Manufacturer: Joint project between Star Axis subsidiaries; Nexus Inc...

      Small Simple Requests

      Actually, the interior on the left is a newer model. I used to do a six-sided reactor/stabilizer array but I've been experimenting with stabilization efficiency and alignment angles. In any case, I'm currently blocked by three obstacles... 1) Lack of gravity: The radial gravity chamber...

      Universe Update Roadmap #1

      When StarMade gives you a limitation, it is often possible to build around that limitation. That's part of the fun of this game. If you don't want the dock to come from the ship, you could make it come from the base instead. Hope this helps.

      Two more things that help me when building smaller ships: 1) quad symmetry and 2) rotating the reactor/stabilizer alignments in advanced build mode. That should allow you to get more power from your reactor setup. Also, kudos to you @[278369:Tilbo] for showing the small ships the love they...

      Ships that small are usually relatively under-powered. If you're fighting other small craft, I recommend guided missiles for PVE and beams for PVP. Forward facing turrets with their AI set to "selected target" can auto-aim for you; making the fight easier. Just make sure you give them an...

      Here's another one that's long overdue: Give ye old gravity block the ability to remainst "always-on". He who dost worship the Schiney sphere and createth his OWN worlds in anticipation, demands it!

      However, shootout rails are affected by the docked object's mass. This makes moving larger objects a slow and painful process. Even mass enhancers didn't seem to do much.

      Small Simple Requests

      Why am I suddenly getting a Star Trek; Into Darkness vibe? In any case, you might be able to use a gravity block for a similar effect. You will need to extend a line of blocks (water or open plex doors will do nicely) to continue the gravity. Otherwise it will wear off in less than 50...

      - Bring back the push effect computer and modules. - Allow Shootout rails to launch larger objects at higher speeds.

      CS: Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade

      I originally thought the "Quickfire Initiative" was an in-game player created faction. Then I read for a while and found out what it really is... (Face palms) Just when I had all but lost hope, here you all are; Schine and the community back at it again. This literally brought a tear to my...

      Detachable systems like weapons and salvage lasers.

      This is already possible and has been for years. In fact, a large part of my fleet was geared toward this specific capability at one point. All the ships shown here used interchangeable modules ranging from salvagers, to lasers, to missile launchers, to cargo pods, to magazine fed...

      Neutral NPC harassment

      Nice; I learned something new. Thanks. It would be cool if these factions would start out small instead of taking up an entire quadrant of the galaxy. As it stands now, these guys are basically an infestation that bloats the database, eats up resources (both in game and on your PC...
