      How Drone Mining Works

      I have yet to try as I was working on something else but I watched 3 NPC faction miners working on an asteroid. It was fascinating to watch and they did seem more "organized". I may develop a new fleet miner, utility ship and cargo transport for this new update and maybe have a small drone...

      How Drone Mining Works

      Personally I wouldn't consider that a drone but a fleet miner. I do have such a beast somewhere. If I strip out the Autominer circuit and allow it to mine normally it could be used. You would need a utility ship to act as a flagship. Instead of them docking with the flagship, they could either...

      How Drone Mining Works

      What would you consider as being a large drone? I use several types but my main experience is with drones that operate from a carrier and not a fleet of ships that mine. I have converted my large salvager to be able to be used as a drone (I normally use logic driven mining) and then spawned in...

      How Drone Mining Works

      I think I might put some of my fleet mining systems up in Community Content. I have several that people might like to experiment with.

      How Drone Mining Works

      As someone who has always championed drone mining I fully support this positive and progressive attitude to the art. I concur that sometimes drones can be fussy and sometimes a single drone (whether built from scratch, the same blueprint as its' fellows or in a shipyard) will just simply refuse...

      ASI Dimension 2 Stealth Scout 1.0

      Aome Salvage & Industries (ASI) have long developed a range of stealth scouts and the Dimension 2 is no exception. The largest of its' type, the Dimension 2 has a crew of 2 and can carry 4 passengers or mission specialists. It also has a generous cargo space and a large ventral USD dock. The...

      Marketplace: Ship Sales

      I have thought about this too but I was going to use a shipyard where purchasers could buy a design and it would be built for them. If logic could interact with the shipyard computer to automatically undock the ship and using a combination of pick-up and basic rails, move it out of the shipyard...

      Planned Astronaut Emergency Transportation: The RCS pack.

      I always keep one of my micro shuttles as a filled out blueprint in my pocket. Not perfect but better than floating! I think some people are too lazy to delete these single cores and they get left. Maybe server owners could have a way to automatically purge such entities on a regular basis or...

      Dev Blog : December 6th

      I'm guessing there will be a factions section in Community Content and people will be able to share pre made ones?

      shipyard dock to center of dimensions.

      Ok, how about this.. Instead of having multiple anchors or some kind of anchor that appears centre of the shipyard in all planes but somehow centres itself to the core of the docked ship we could, if the anchor has to be a single fixed point, have an advanced build feature accessed from within...

      How do you build a jump ship to permit fast galactic travel, without chain drives?

      My stealth scouts can recharge their jump drives in about 6-8 seconds but use between 700 and 950 modules or roughly 4-5 times what it says it should have. From memory, I believe that any of my standard jump capable ships that are either 100% efficient or better can charge in about 15 seconds...

      shipyard dock to center of dimensions.

      How about being able to place multiple anchors within the shipyard? This might be easier to program.

      Cannot Access Online Menu

      I couldn't find it on any white, black, grey or even sky blue pink with red spots list! It had been working for weeks and weeks and weeks so the cause was a complete mystery. I am about 30 minutes away from a complete reinstall of Windows 10 so maybe by the end of today I might be able to get...

      Cannot Access Online Menu

      I give up! I have gone round and round and round in circles with this now. Had three hours to play last night but spent all of that trying to fix this! I have no idea as to what caused this. I cannot find anything in my computers security settings that might prevent it from working online, I...

      Cannot Access Online Menu

      Tried all that but still the same. C:/Starmade/StarMade The launcher and files are in the "Starmade" folder and the game files in the"StarMade" one. Like I said, this has been running fine for months like this. I was even playing online the previous but one session. Had been playing in...

      Cannot Access Online Menu

      C drive. It has worked fine for months and now just won't work online. Local play is fine but I cannot even get the server list up. It's annoying because the server I normally play on is planning to reset when the NPC update is released and I need to check that I have everything blueprinted.

      Cannot Access Online Menu

      Not that I am aware of. It was working fine one day and the following day I cannot use online play. I will check to see if anything may be preventing it from running. I did have a random windows firewall alert a day or so ago so that may be my first port of call.

      Cannot Access Online Menu

      I am currently unable to access the Online options from the main menu and so play online. I can play locally however. The menu doesn't open and then I get a white screen with the following error message. Any ideas?

      More Immersive Main Menu

      That could be good, or just a simpler way of changing ( or rotating backgrounds ) Backgrounds could be shared in the community content, bigger factions could produce their own. I think that is about as much "immersion" I'd like for the main menu. I would like to see a profile system where...
