Greetings all, I've been playing on a server for a while and there seems to be a problem with 'death cubes' . These are perfectly cubic ships that seem to have the best edge in combat. I am curious as to how you all deal with them. These can be server side 'rules' or player builds. I really...

Hey folks, Since we're all into building ships, here is a chance to get your ship put into orbit. The National Space society is designing an orbiter to contain an educational payload. However they want people to design the actual orbiter. The contest is liked below...

I ran into a bug today and I thought to myself 'how long has this bug been in the game?'. I wasn't particularly surprised or disappointed but rather perplexed. I couldn't remember the first time I encountered this bug. It surely was long before the website was updated to its current format. It...

Greetings all, For those of you who don't use the procedural skyboxes, I make static ones. I am currently working on another set. However I am growing frustrated because I can't get the colors to look right when imported to Starmade. Everything seems muted. Does anyone know how starmade deals...

After a very nice conversation with the guys on hyper-core server this evening. The details of which were not related to this topic, but it did give me an Idea. Many servers limit the size of the ships that can be built. For example your ship must fit within a 400x400x400 cube. This really...

I've become so bored with Starmade. I build ships and space stations and more ships and more space stations. Once in a long while somebody decides to take a few shots at my base, but because it is invincible nothing really happens. Sometimes I pirate ships that people forget to dock. On the...

It would be really nice to be able to save a description of the ship/turret/station in conjunction with the blueprint. That way we could record, size, stats, and a brief purpose of the blueprint. This would be particularly useful for turrets as we could record the dimensions of the docking...

As it is, port batteries may not be able to fire at enemies on the starboard side. The same may go for dorsal and ventral turrets. It would be cool to be able to group turrets and command them to target different enemies. This would also add some interesting micro management to combat as larger...

Im not sure if this is a universal problem, however. When playing multiplayer planets cause so much lag that I lose connection to the server. Is there a fix or optimal settings for this?

Hi all, I've been tinkering with the crafting system for the past few days. I've made a few threads about what It. This one is just for your benefit. I have mapped the entire crafting system using a program called yED. It is a free program used to make easy to read diagrams. Unfortunately the...

I've spent the past few days playing around with the new crafting system. I am hard pressed to find anything nice to say about it. It is way overly complicated and inefficient. It literally takes 5 steps to make one shield capacitor. For blocks that we need to mass produce this makes...

The new crafting system kinda sucks. As I explore it I find that there are lots of things that do not make sense. Below is just one suggestion I have to make crafting hulls better. 1) only one type of hull and hardened hull, grey. 2) craft paint from properly colored blocks. No ores or...

I'm not particularly a fan of the new crafting system, however I'm trying to give it a go before I completely dismiss it. As such, I have a few questions. 1) it seems like it is still more efficient to build a ship in single player and buy it on a server. Is this true or has someone figured...

Greetings all. I've had an itch that I have not been able to scratch for some time. In terms of this game it has been missing something. Something beyond giant space ships, FTL and awesome weapons. I figured it out months ago and I choose to share it now as I feel the game has reached a state...

Greetings all. I've received a few requests to post my old skypack. These are replacements for the default skyboxes in starmade. Most of you probably use the procedurally generated skyboxes. However, If you don't like the ingame ones or you computer cannot handle them then these are for you...

I cannot register and report bugs on bugs.starmade.org. I create an account, but I never receive the confirmation email. That being said I've found a few problems. 1) There is no orange paint or recipes to paint hulls orange. 2)The wedge, penta, and like recipes do not work on orange hull...

In the recent updates we've seen the introduction of ores, shards, capsules and refineries, however there are no instructions on how to use them or what they do. The refinery block is particularly strange as I cannot figure out how to make it do anything. After a google search, and some...

It doesn't seem to matter where or what environment I'm flying in. but I will randomly teleport to different sectors or positions within sectors sometimes backwards and sometimes sideways. I find that it is most apparent around objects like planets shops and stations. I sometimes have planets...

Starmade works perfectly fine on my macbook pro so long as I am using the trackpad. If I connect a separate mouse to the my laptop I can no longer navigate menus or use the advanced build options as the cursor is permanently tethered to the player. If I bring up advanced build or the menus the...

I know I'm not alone in this, and I think it needs to be addressed. The community for this game is actively shrinking, or maybe just stagnant. To put a few numbers to this. Space Engineers had a peak number of players around 7,000 people around the time of this post. I doubt Starmade has been so...
