      Bug Shield Bypass with Beams

      Unfortunately, it's still happening even as of the latest update. In the last hour, I strayed too close to a pirate base but figured I'd stick around and fight it. My shields had 1 recharger, 4 capacitors, an integrity of 378 and enough regen. to completely tank the station's lasers...

      Thank you. I was going for a size range similar to modern day fighter planes (F-14D, FA-18, F-16, etc. These measure 15L x 15W x 9H. and have a stable radar jammer installed. Additional variations will be posted on the main shipyard thread in my signature.

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      I figured this is what was meant but didn't want to assume. To be honest, I could care less about territory since my faction is mobile in nature and I'm more inclined to build on either planet or in a void sector. While I don't oppose the separation of territory and an invulnerable personal...

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      For the bypass; Chain docking, logic and rails is one way I would do it. Although there are builders who would make me look like I wasn't even trying. For the restrictions; this proposal forces players to keep their ships small and avoid creating fleets. I don't mind building small but I...

      A knee jerk-reaction on knee jerk-reactions

      No one is 'maliciously attacking the PvP' community and the rest of the community isn't 'hostile'. What we have here is a small group of players who don't know how to communicate. If something is posted that you perceive as incorrect, outdated or game breaking information, the intelligent...

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      I take it you're referring to this announcement? It's handy for new/un-established players, but home bases are still the better option for most other players for a variety of reasons; the most prominent of which is; they get to build and control the base. No. Your proposal only fixes what...

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      You're making this more complex than it needs to be and you are investing in hypothetical (possibly rejected) concepts. It would be more productive to focus on what is currently in game and what additions Schine has confirmed. Solo factions have one home base each. With the exception of their...

      Shop entities. Not the shops themselves; the entities that people will dock to the shops; all of which will definitely be loaded when their owners are online. The docks aren't the problem. The possible flaw in the plan is making shops and all docked entities invulnerable. Instead of the...

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      So far, the only complaints I've seen about home bases had nothing to do with interaction beyond combat. In any case, it's not up to other players to entertain you. You want to interact with other players? Actually be enjoyable for them to be around. They'll either message you, visit...

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      If it is in fact posed as a config setting, you'll have no further opposition from me. I'm just making sure that these changes don't become non-configurable defaults. Regarding database bloats; entity count and claimed sectors are the primary cause of this and are directly linked to...

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      Then there should be no problem and this thread serves no purpose. Regarding what I'm suggesting; you are wrong. What I am suggesting is that people take the time to address why people make one-man factions in the first place. Meanwhile, make this suggestion a server config option so people...

      RedAlert_007 - Regarding my play style and the purpose behind my input: You don't know my intentions or how I play so let's skip the pleasantries and stick to the topic at hand. - Regarding "accuracy" and who this suggestion favors: I'll let the OP explain it to you. - Regarding risk...

      A case study in factions- The solution to everything (ENDED)

      This seems like a well thought out idea but as it stands, I cannot support it as it disproportionately favors PvPers who group up in large numbers at the expense of anyone who is unwilling or unable to group up. One-man factions are not "a problem" but rather a symptom of a much larger issue...

      When was your golden age of StarMade?

      My golden age was an R&D phase from winter of 2015 to summer of 2016 that led to the development of a lot of my current building methods. One of the best parts was the development of my metropolitan/industrial colony; Maximus Prime on the LvD server. I had a LOT of fun visitors there. Trade...

      Stupid Rail docker

      To compensate for the smaller craft's speed and momentum, you need more space between the pickup point and your main ship so it doesn't collide. It should be noted that ANY collision while docking will cause the drone/fighter/shuttle to stop and spin in place while trying to figure out how to...
