It's a smoothed out Icosahedron; a 20-sided polyhedron with "rounded" triangular faces. MConlisk, a good way to determine size of this planet is to... - Build a simple ship in the shape of a straight line and measure the diameter of the planet like a tape measure. - Build a core and use the...

My artificial planet is 400 meters in diameter (not counting city buildings). When I compare a picture of Shine's new planet next to mine and an old 550m(+/-) dodecahedron planet base I was working on, the new planet looks bigger, judging by the size of the individual blocks. My guess is it's...

Thanks. I was trying to wait for Schine's new icosahedron planets but it's been a year and a half and I really need my planet base fix. I was getting the jitters and cold sweats. Terraforming is a hell of a drug!

...Or as a base. Just keep in mind; radial gravity doesn't work right yet so you'll have to improvise.

If you are unable or unwilling to replicate the effect, copy and paste can become your best friend. Visit planets and copy parts that interest you. You'd be surprised what you can come up with.

Why not just build the plate or "something similar"?

Technically, it's an icosahedron; a 20-sided polyhedron comprised of triangular faces. In any case, I am thoroughly impressed; the thing looks great. On the other hand, while these teasers are cool, it's been almost a year and a half since the original GIF was posted. If they keep dragging...

Not necessarily him specifically, but there are quite a few large builders out there. While tedious, if you used copy and paste with a powerful computer, you could replicate Schine's terrain-gen-tech given enough time. With that having been said, I doubt anyone has the patience for that...

It seems to be constructed of semi-triangular plates; like a smoothed out icosahedron or some other kind of deltahedron. Have you tired landing on it to test its gravity? What kind of lag does it generate? If this isn't Schine's "April Fools" planet from last year, I can think of a few...

Opening your presents before Christmas? Naughty Naughty... On the other hand, those pictures have a similar look to that "April Fools" teaser gif that Schine released last year. If they pull this off and it doesn't lag us to pieces, there will be no words to...

You know, this is essentially and apples/oranges argument now, right? Take it form an impartial third party; The reason you're catching this kind of flack is because there's no need to state the obvious (that RP is doing fine despite the game's weak developmental state) and then try to explain...

Schine does not consider StarMade to be geared toward any specific play-style. Instead, Schema seems to want it to be a "WEYW" (Whatever you want) game; meaning PVE, RP, PVP, RTS, etc. in any combination you can imagine. The whole point of a balance is so that ALL aspects of ALL play-styles...

This ability already exists in game but with a twist. I use it all the time whenever I play. Since I hate being tied to one location, my non-planetary bases (even before rails were introduced) were all mobile. I call the concept a "Mobile Command System" (M.C.S.) It's basically a large...

I used to have an old "combat utility craft" which consisted of an a main ship body and interchangeable utility modules. I would mount a salvager and cargo pod to make it a mining ship. ...or I would swap the salvager for a self-powered forward facing turret and swap the cargo for lateral...

Not the first. Certainly won't be the last. Do whatever floats your boat. ...and whatever you think will keep Schine's from sinking.

Thread necromancy? I'm down for that! (y) How about an interstellar ballistic missile (ISBM) guided by a target-painting scout ship?

Awesome news to hear. Server configs seem like a far better way to address 99% of the issues we've been having, than the previous hard restrictions. Now StarMade can evolve into an actual game rather than just a building/systems testbed. Here's to the universe update and all the other cools...

While I'd expect capital ships to have some kind of factory elements on board, I don't think this idea is realistic for sub capitals and regular sized ships. Here's an idea for non-capitals... - Produce your fighters/drones using the methods currently available and dock them on board. - When a...
