      Dev Blog : May 30th 2016

      The style of videos we're looking at will mean the file sizes shouldn't be significant for majority of the videos. It will more be the fact that there's so much you can learn in-game and do, that covering everything might mean there's just a lot of videos. And that's okay, because after they're...

      Dev Blog : May 30th 2016

      We're finally back with another Dev Blog! What an exciting few months we've had. Let's catch up on what's happened, what's coming in the future, and gather your input on a couple things. We'll start things off by turning back the clocks and looking at what has happened since our last Dev Blog in...

      Recognized Gravity modules and logic

      As Sven_The_Slayer pointed out, it is indeed a limitation currently of how the connection system works, due to the "wireless" nature of logic blocks compared to the adjacent system of something like minecraft. It's great that we don't need to place long lines of wires etc to build our circuits...

      Read by Schine Schine, your Map View is terrible (and how to fix it)

      Then why include an image of the galaxy map talking about the mechanics of navigating through that exact screen

      Read by Schine Schine, your Map View is terrible (and how to fix it)

      Good read, some interesting thoughts there. I expected though at the end OP would return to the galaxy map with their proposed solution and explain their thoughts on improving the galaxy map, considering that was what was highlighted as the issue at the start.

      Recognized A good reason to expand

      We definitely have different plans to encourage expansion to do with factions. Thanks for the suggestion, some form of it will no doubt find its way into the mechanics of fleets and faction stations

      So, whenever the sound update finally comes out...

      That's all up to our Audio guys and what they put together, as it will all need to be cohesive between all the different facets of the audio experience.

      Confession of a Lurker

      Thanks for your feedback Theats, it's always exciting to hear from players who may not necessarily be involved heavily in the community side of things, but are still following what's happening and are excited about where we're taking the game. To address the learning curve, that's something...

      Planned Give planets more of a meaning

      With all the work we put into the spawn station I'm not sure where this idea came from. It might be an option in the future but wouldn't be default. We have indeed drafted up some super sweet plans for planets that make them have more of a meaning to gameplay. Obviously all depends on...

      Fix StarMade, Release the frakkin API!

      At Schine we're dedicated to giving you a great game to play. It's a shame some community members get hung up on the whole 5 years of development thing. I don't know why, but they're glazing over the fact that for 3 years of that, it was primarily one guy on his own, creating a game that we...

      Fix StarMade, Release the frakkin API!

      While I agree the community has a lot to contribute, we're not at the point where an API would be appropriate. I know we've said that a lot, but honestly there's some major parts of the game still yet to go that we would like to see go in first, before tackling the API. This isn't because we...

      Question on Mobs/ Aliens/ NPCs

      This kind of helps highlight our process. For aliens/NPCs there's a fair few pieces to get in as part of it. Quarters, smoother fleets etc so that when we do eventually add them in, they'll actually be awesome NPC experiences and not something that's just gimmicky.
