      How much would the MSI Radeon RX 480 4GB impact my game performance?

      Already found the problem (took me a day of troubleshooting though). I've got a couple of corrupt SYS files that are associated with the AMD drivers thanks to a few bad sectors. Nothing a full reformat shouldn't fix... -edit- I really REALLY lucked out. Had I waited a bit too long to order...

      How much would the MSI Radeon RX 480 4GB impact my game performance?

      Well... the card's installed and it performs beautifully. Lowest FPS hovers above 70. Just one snag though (could be Windows 10 related)... When I'm flying around and the game is loading planets as I come to them my system gets a BSOD "System Service Exception". This only happens when I...

      What ship would you build while listening to "We Didn't Start The Fire"?

      I'm just curious. I myself would attempt to build a futuristic version of Old Ironsides (the actual USS Constitution) as that ship has been around for a LONG time and would tell us of all it's seen if it were sentient (maybe it is?). So what ship would you build after listening to the song...

      A giant robot in Starmade?

      I'd be very impressed if you made this to dock with it.

      How hard would it be to build THIS guy?

      How long do pirate attacks last (if they even go away)?

      Riiight... When I built my faction home space station in empty space it was assailed by pirates. Even being inside my shelter didn't help at all. As with the trade station, they just shot through my station and got to me. Maybe I should make the shelter two blocks thick?

      How long do pirate attacks last (if they even go away)?

      Right before I could install the Radar Jammer... Turns out there was a pirate station that just showed up out of nowhere...

      Sexy Turret Competition

      So how long is this competition? A gigantic station sized turret laden statue is going to take quite a while to build... And my skills aren't even there yet...

      How long do pirate attacks last (if they even go away)?

      I always go full vanilla as it's the most fun I get out of any game (and I found "creative mode" in Minecraft incredibly boring). I could use a radar jammer or make an invulnerable home base. Problem is I never get the chance. They've shown up shortly after I spawn into the world in a new...

      How long do pirate attacks last (if they even go away)?

      Oh, well... on the bright side I managed to save one ship as a blueprint (before pirates blew it up) so I can now use it when starting a new save...

      How long do pirate attacks last (if they even go away)?

      ALL of them. Either something funny is going on, or I have incredibly bad luck.

      How long do pirate attacks last (if they even go away)?

      I've lost my tenth savegame so far. This is due to pirates spawning close to the shop I spawn at. Sometimes it's when I'm building the ship. Other times it's right when I spawn. You'd think staying inside the shop would keep you safe, but they can somehow shoot through the glass and into...

      What did you do in Starmade today?

      Made an attempt at creating the smallest fighter I could in a new save game... and failed spectacularly... Mostly because pirates spawned close to me. Being at a shop didn't protect me at all... -edit- Well, I built THIS basic craft using the materials I started out with and nearly all my...

      A giant robot in Starmade?

      I imagine something like this would be possible as well, but the level of coordination needed to to handle the combined machines would be a headache... Oh, and yes. That's definitely Peter Cullen's voice in there. :)

      Is it possible to put one turret on top of another?

      Once I've learned how to put blocks together well enough I will build a gigantic statue of Miku Hatsune... or maybe some other Japanese anime/pop culture figure (maybe the "superheroine" Blue Snow?). The plan is for the standing platform, legs and lower body to be the turret body, the abdomen...

      Any crazy build ideas for the future?

      What's next? A fighter armed with swords that spit out guns (if that were possible)?!?

      Any crazy build ideas for the future?

      I've also gotta ask... has anyone in Starmade attempted to build a solid Dyson Sphere?

      What do you put inside your space stations?

      So my strip tower works better for my power needs overall? I'll take your word for it, Jayman (ugh... almost said Jay Jay Binks). I imagine the horizontal version of that could be good as the power core running along an entire ship with other sections around it.

      How much would the MSI Radeon RX 480 4GB impact my game performance?

      Calhoun is right. The AMD FX 8350 is not great with single core performance (which is apparently important when gaming). But I'm guessing with Starmade I'll get better performance when the RX 480 is installed (the worst part is the wait... and that it's being shipped with USPS). I mean...
