Has anybody made a space station with docked parts? I kinda want to make a wheel and spoke pattern space station. I've thought about doing this by docking segments of the ring to each other. This way my ship docks are face radially outward instead of confined to Starmade's grid. Has anybody...

Does anybody know how to calculate power used by the effect modules? The wiki has enough information to calculate power consumption and damage for weapon -weapon linking but not for the effect modules e.g. I have a 50 cannon group linked with 25 beams and 10 ion modules? I want to know damage...

Hello folks, with the promise of the NPC update to come soon i'm looking at getting back into Starmade. Since I've been gone there have been many improvements and new features added to this game. Right now I'm really interested in making effective mining systems. I'm curious as to how much we...

It looks like its gonna be 4 weeks (or longer) for the latest update. Anyone playing the dev build notice any cool new mechanics? I'm hoping this will be a big update.

There are several discussions that have been floating around the internet about role play as a pirate vs griefing. This is an inheriting problem in space sims and it is time we had this discussion in Starmade. Griefers are different than pirates and it is important to make this distinction so...

There are two reasons i've stopped playing Starmade. 1) There are no real problems to solve. 2) There wasn't a good way to automate my economy. With the addition of fleets in some of the most recent updates it looks like I can solve parts of #2. I'm wondering if there are any good ways to...

In some sense a universe must have villains in order for conflict be fun and engaging. This becomes hard for starmade because so many people want to build in peace and quiet. Yet villains are there to try and disrupt the normal order of things. If too many people are playing the bad guys people...

Don't play this server. The admin is a real piece of work. He is verbally abusive to his players and ban them when they get mad in return. In addition to this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/244770/discussions/0/496880203074502702/

Is anyone having problems with turrets not firing in the right direction/getting stuck in weird positions? I build pretty simple turrets that can rotate 0-360 in azimuth and 0-90 in altitude. I have more than enough mass enhancers too. Nothing has been rotated but my turrets fire 90 to the...

One of the biggest problems in this game is the unwieldy nature of factions. Currently lacking security and a functional economy, there really isn't much need to expand and build an empire. Which is something I'm sure several of us want to do. I think my suggestion will fix the economy side of...

Does anyone still have problems with turrets not working properly? Mine stop rotating after they kill a target and won't move to another one. About 50% of the time when they stop rotating they still fire as if they were. It's very weird.

What if scanners had an additional tiered effect? One that affected how targeting works in addition to the current scanning mechanic. more scanners would up you in targeting ability. Lvl 1: Basic targeting, AI basically aims for random blocks on in a ship Lvl 2: Non essential subsystems can be...

I've been wondering for a very long time where the competition in this game exists. I've concluded that it is just forced to hide in the shadows of the creative mode players who want to make pretty ships and servers who host public events. There are is no diverse universe of empire builders...

Does anybody know if it is possible to change the types of galaxies that are generated? As an astrophysicist I find a few things about the galaxies irritating. 1) that there are only spiral galaxies. 2) that there are 3 armed spirals galaxies. 3) that the galaxies are all the same size and...

I know a lot of you were clamoring for mining to be changed. I know lots of you wanted different ways to mine. In some sense I agree with you, but when it comes down to the raw game mechanic mining is really a one dimensional activity. Once you find the best way to mine you repeat it so you...

Like many of you, I watch Starmade tutorials, reviews, etc. on youtube. Unfortunately the quality of many of these videos is not very high. I know lots of the streamers and youtubers put a ton of effort into making their videos for the community and I dont want to poo poo anyone individually...

I suggest adding one more tool to the build helper and that is a Bresenham helper.Players could select any two blocks using c and v and the build helper would tell you which blocks to fill to draw a line between the two selected blocks. If you're like me, and you like building aesthetically...

@Tomino_sama just posted an album of people sitting in Starmade. https://plus.google.com/photos/+TominoSama/albums/6073136875932489873?sort=1 I mean holy !@#$! we can sit down! I'm so happy. The one thing this game has been missing is sitting! We can now sit around our fellow Astronauts and...

I think we'd all agree that weapons vs blocks in the current game 0.175 is really unbalanced. once a ships shields are depleted it is pretty much a death sentence. In order to balance this I suggest the following. Schema adds a "Structural integrity bar" or "armour bar". This bar would behave...
