Nope you can buy it now, which gives you access to the finished game when it is released for a significantly cheaper price. Just make sure you don't lose your account details if you decide to go on a haitus from the community. Although rimmer just ninjaed me...

Black hole section Is it really necessary? You can tell a black hole by its effects even at great distances, plus anyone with procedural backgrounds on will likely be able to see a solid dark circle pretty easily. And I honestly think that pilot skill (game play) should be important when dealing...

@ToyotaSupra I think the first is a black hole that is drawing a nearby nebula or some bluish star in with a visible accretion disk, while the second is a black hole in empty space. The latter is far more dangerous since you might not detect it until its gravity causes course changes... which...

From what I gather the block data for ships is stored in a way reminiscent of voxels but rendered as polygons. But I'm going to be honest voxel is just a buzzword and is pretty meaningless in describing the game, anyway back on topic... except discussion seems to be several tangents removed from...

And the reason double posting is considered bad is because.. 1. You don't need two posts to respond to two people, you can have multiple quotes and etc in one post. 2. Having two or more posts in quick succession congests the page, especially if you have a large sig. 3. The edit button exists...

Sadly that is my cookie. But yeah hopefully you don't go the way of the other USSR. Since you seem to be moderately respectable for communist scum.

Thinking faction update might be in the works, although I get the feeling a possible patch for universe generation (so it isn't so "clean cut") to give a more realistic universe might happen. There's also things like shipyards, which are a necessity in creating something that resembles a...

If I recall salvage beams work differently depending on which mouse button is used to fire them. One is focused, the other is straight forward. Have you tried both?

Yes my lord.

If you want to target neutrals in SP. 1. make a faction and faction block everything you want to live. 2. In faction screen set all neutrals to hostile. Now your turret will fire at the dummy ship.

ice and lava. Both only cost 2 credits. -> 255 faction modules per 255 ice and lava.

From what I can tell it makes it so that you cannot spawn in large amounts of say hardened hull without it already existing (step 2 exists to enable step 3)

This is not a concern, if no one is in the sector it will be unloaded regardless of if objects are moving and if they float out of a loaded sector they are unloaded. Anyway I don't think moving objects have much affect on server performance, since its speed isn't changing all that matters is...

And to carry on from @Ithirahad if blocks contain more data that means that the size of blueprints will increase and we will also be further limited in how many blocks we can have on ships (if blocks contain more data that means more lag when loading ships) such an idea would have huge...

To summarise the system for funny as well as others who are not familiar with it. Every block can be broken down into two "cubatoms" with 4 different attributes. I haven't access to starmade to explain these attributes ( which are spin, state of matter and two others I scarcely recall), they...

I agree with Megacrafter127. Crafting for many is something we lack the time for, if a dedicated faction takes the role then its possible to allow bounty hunting and pirate guilds to operate with more ease. Also HeadVsBrickWall money is still easy enough to make, the crafting chain for faction...

I thought faction modules cost only about 200-300k at normal shop prices. Otherwise seems OK.

Nebula, while off topic would add to the mechanics and beauty of the game. Although if done wrong might be performance heavy.

I prefer 4 dimensional space. Tesseract > cube.

Nope, totally true. If you have nothing to ionize and no particles you cannot have a current, thus anything that even resembles lightening cannot exist. But again rule of cool > science. After all we have linear dampening and a universe where everything is made of cubes. Once again I fully...
