      Thrust Mechanics Explained

      Nonsense. Servers will always have block size limits to protect against ridiculously large ships. I just want to build a ship with it's role in mind. Small will always have it's place. Smaller means more agile and less expensive to build. Large means greater threat but much more expensive to...

      Thrust Mechanics Explained

      Let me para-phrase the gist of this post to make sure I am understanding it correctly: --It is intended that propulsion will become less efficient as it is scaled up.-- I think this will hurt the game in the long run. There are a lot of people who love this game because Starmade aims to do...

      My solution to making circles in Starmade

      I'll have to try this. As an aside, Excel/Microsoft aren't necessary. Two of the included formats are aimed at OpenOffice and Libre' Office.

      Bug Not spawning in where I logged off at.

      This happens while playing in sandbox mode. Very re-produceable on my own machine. After logging off inside of my station in astronaut mode(exiting game), when logging back in I will be directly under the station. If I log out floating very high above the floor (over 5 meters) I will sometimes...

      A different kind of "circle generator"

      This is a little tool for people who, like myself, find themselves on a Minecraft website counting lines of blocks for their current SM build. The spoiler contains brief instructions on the what and how. I welcome anyone who decides to add to this, improve it, or use it to improve something else.:)

      My solution to making circles in Starmade

      der_scheme, I like that site too. Those tools are impressive and represent serious skill! But it still leaves me writing down the numbers for each run of blocks. A spreadsheet like this creates that list instantly, saving me from all that scribbling or typing of notes.

      My solution to making circles in Starmade

      So, I found myself making a circular structure in Starmade for the umpteenth time. For this I usually go to my favourite Minecraft circle generator, counting the blocks in each straight run and listing adjacent duplicate runs with a x2, x3 etc. The result is a bunch of time spent doing something...

      Ownership badges / medals don't show in the forums yet.

      I do love how it looks like a game cartridge. If you have have the cash, I would really recommend buying a license. I've played a lot of games from C=64/atari 2600 all the way to present. And this game has more potential than most I've seen. Keep up the good work!

      Oh. Now I do feel foolish :oops:. And thank you for the prompt reply, especially given how busy you must be.

      I'm sorry, but how would I know who does and doesn't have one? If it's a known issue then it would be more polite to just say so. Plus the posted answer might show up on forum searches and minimize the chance of someone else making a new post out of it, right?

      Ownership badges / medals don't show in the forums yet.

      Hello, I did do several searches for this topic before posting this question, so my apologies in advance if it was overlooked... My profile did transfer, at least in part, from the old site. But my license/ownership - badge/medal is conspicuously absent!

      NGE Shipyard

      Nice! I like seeing someone who is interested in the RP possibilities. Are they really going build more automation into SM? That would be awesome!

      StarMade 0.14 RELEASE

      Same here. The game actually ground to a near halt for me. But it is alpha so...

      Blocks in hotbar spontaneously converted.

      Occasionally blocks in one space of the hotbar will be converted into the same type as what is in an adjacent space. I have seen this 3 or 4 times, so it is seldom. But would be a real game killer if it doesn't get fixed.

      Damage Control Block

      That\'s a good idea too. I probably wouldn\'t have thought of mine if that one were already implemented. :)

      Damage Control Block

      I have a specific suggestion for a "Damag Control" cpu. I have many years of experience maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing equipment and systems on ships and shore facilities in real life. I think this version of a "Damage Control" function would be workable and practical: There would...
