Good day, weary pilots of marvelous vessels. I would like to share with you some creations of mine, some old, some new, some still works in progress. When designing such feats of engineering I mostly start with exterior, then internal systems, followed by the realisation that an interior is...

Concerning complexity, using actual inertia with something similar to thrusters but for rotation should be quite intuitive. All the "complicated" mathematics would all be in the background. An average player would only need to know three things, basically: -making a ship wider/longer/taller...

Luckily the program works with layers, so taking out a a lot of the clouds is quite simple. (Hopefully) for your viewing pleasure: less clouds

I have been thinking about the things discussed in this thread and have come to see some flaws in the things I have agreed with/suggested as well as some new things I'd like to bring up. Moment of inertia use, though very realistic, would be abhorrent gameplay wise if just used on its own. The...

In my time doing texturework in minecraft I once came across a rather neat little program called spacescape. It's used to create space skyboxes with a bazillion possibilities and parameters. Today I tried to apply the same program to create starmade skyboxes. These are the results so far...

To add to the previous post, you can't re-edit the schematic in smedit after it has been used in a newer version of starmade (conversions and all). So be weary that exporting from smedit is a one way trip. (make sure the core is in the right location and you like the size, basically) As for your...

Firstly, congratulations to keptick, Secondly, on the proposed process:

I believe the thread you're talking about is this one . To recap, config file is in the directory /Starmade/Starmade/data/config/gui and is called Hudconfig.cfg . You can make all of the popup messages appear at any point on or even off screen and change the time for which they are displayed. I...

To reply to whooplaah on why using only the maximum dimensions and mass would be a bad idea, let me give you an example: We have two ships here with equal mass and equal maximum dimensions: Ship A and Ship B if you now look at their length from side to side and their mass and only use that...

I seem to have made a slight misstep in my pondering about moment of inertia calculation when removing blocks. Though it's still wouldn't be very comfortable to have to wait for the calculations on every block you place, certainly when it's using advanced build mode where things can overlap and...

This. I have been thinking about this for a while now and this seems like the only viable and reasonably realistic solution. Using every individual block isn't doable since you'd have to recalculate inertia abd centre of mass for every block added or subtracted. Which is especially nasty for...
