Empyrion is a piece of crap in a fancy package. (which stands for most Unity games in my honest opinion) People don't want to build their own stuff in there because it doesn't have HALF the building tools Starmade has. The prefabricated blocks and system elements make it easy - too easy - to...

There are good chain drives and bad chain drives. I'm personally using one made by alterintel and so far it hasn't failed me or broke any servers. Of course if you want to make sure, Jaaskinal posted one that works purely on logic blocks, no moving docked parts necessary.

Starmad servers sometimes do that. Plenty other admins can tell you that they can almost never completely crash or gracefully shut down, mostly they just freeze and can't accept connections while still shown as responsive on the task list.

ohartenstein23 Olxinos I'm also getting EOF when trying to log on...

There's the powergen cap, then the diminishing returns on thrusters so yea big ships WILL be slower because they simply don't get as much thrust per block as the small ones while the power consumed per thruster block remains the same; Then there's the matter of auxiliary power to try counteract...

I saw not 12K but 21K and above with random encounter pirates (faction ID -1) spawning, although not a common occurrence. Still, running into them is not fun. I haven't angered KDI and made sure to settle far outside their sphere of influence.

What I mean, build the tanks to serve as AI fleet drones, or mass spam smaller drones. Build your own ship to be the glass cannon. Use the drones to draw enemy fire. Hope the enemy AI is as stupid as yours and will be distracted enough for long enough.

Actually, with the fleet AI being more Artificial Idiocy than Artificial Intelligence, your best bet for fleet ships is building the burliest tank there is in the mass range and equip it with stop or EMP weapons, and use them as cannon fodder while you actually do some damage.

Because if you get instakilled, you can't do any damage can you?

Really good question. Olxinos it's gonna be hard to have players if this unknown thread on the Dock is the only way to learn this server exists and to obtain the address to connect to.

I know Olxinos uses Napther's ships. I honestly didn't stick around, I saw the red bleep, I saw the mass had a double digit and a K, I smashed the jump drive activation button a second later, because that was the only logical thing to do there, to run like hell. You don't stick around when you...

Olxinos I suggest you properly set up the pirate waves, what they can and cannot spawn. It's OK to have "boss ships" for NPC factions waaaaaay above the mass cap, because you won't run into those unless you're looking for trouble. But 20K+ mass ships can also spawn as regular random encounter...

I'm hopping on there every now and then, but knowing the pirates are extra hard since they aren't bound by the mass limit and they have ships that are about 7x the mass cap, I'd love to have a few extra hands in my faction to go hunting (also to keep those faction points going while I can't...

Even if you move the stars themselves, there will be some idiot saying "Shoulda moved them a little more to the left"

Damn right. Lecic is speaking from experience, his Deimos was about half my Archer's size and I was powergen capped when our ships clashed in an Ares Mod match. And I got pwned by that EMP gun that wasn't even 100% effect, so hard that I could literally do nothing other than watching my ship...

My biggest concern isn't the lack or presence of upkeep, whether personal (food, water, oxyigen) or shipwide (reactor and/or warp fuel, munitions etc) The main concern is the fact new players are thrown into the deep water with 0 knowledge, while the crafting system is both too easy in some...

The low speed limit makes missiles slow. They are already easy to outrun unless they are the long-range missile/beam with a high beam ratio; also, just a few tiny anti-missile turrets handle them quite fine.

As CoolDev2 mentioned, it is possible to write a voxel engine in C++ that handles also a physical simulation in a relatively short time. I feel like the problem is, that Java has its limits. It's great for a great many things, but rendering dynamic 3D objects and then calculating collision...

Hell... it's about time! *shuts visor on helmet while still smoking a cigar because badass space marine stuff* I have to check this one out!

Actually it is more than possible to make punch-through cannons with even a decent fire rate at the 3K mass range that cut shred of advanced armor, I even have a corvette like that. You are right in the way that, for a second, I forgot about the global system block damage resistance armor HP...
