I posted the original version of this ship back in April. Since then, I've upgraded the turrets to the rails system. I also increased shielding and power. She can keep firing until the cows come home and not run out of energy. Go ahead, take her for a spin, blow up a pirate station or two.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Jayman38, the video was quite helpful, the threads even more so. I think it will start me down the right path to creating power cores. Now I'll need to experiment to find the right combination for my needs.

Are there any good tutorials on creating a power module and docking it to a larger vessel? I've hit the 1 million soft cap and am hoping this is a way around that.

Thank you, both, especially for the list. I'll see if any of the top servers have a decent ping rate and make the switch.

Much as I like the game, even in it's alpha stage, I find the servers to be rather frustrating. Not the way they're run or the interaction on them, mind you, but how they'll go offline, permanently. It's happened about five times for me now. After taking the time to locate a server with a...

Is there a specific way to place scanning antennas to increase efficiency, say something similar to placing power reactors? I placed a long line of antennas in my ship, and while I get a message that there is something cloaked in the sector, it tells me the scanning system isn't powerful enough...

I'm looking forward to the fauna update, should add a bit more excitement to the game.

I've been working on a heavy carrier for the past few weeks. It's no where near done, but here's how it looks at the moment. BTW, that's a small mining vessel on an interior landing bay towards the front of the ship. The picture below shows the interior hangar, which is currently holding...

I agree, the game needs more than just ship building and fighting pirates. Eventually you get to the point where pirates are nothing more than fodder to be vaporized. I would like to see more exploration in the game. Be it exotic life, space anomalies, alien fleets, etc. Add to that the...

You're just going about your day, doing whatever it is that you do. Then, out of the blue, you get an idea for a new spaceship design and find yourself thinking about it for the rest of the day. I'm not sure, but I think it might be Star-Made Syndrome.

It's a simple, small ship that can be made from easily made components. As long as you have metal mesh and crystal circuits, you can manufacture everything you need. You don't have to worry if you have access to Hittal or Varat, or any other special ore or crystal. Any ore and crystal will do...

Are you currently looking for a new ship to add to your fleet? Then come on down to Crazy Shadar’s Shipyard and check out our new battle cruiser. Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it looks like the main turret cannon of an abandoned Eta class space station. Well, you’re right...

I'm personally hoping that they allow for functioning factories and capsule modules on spaceships, which would negate the need to build a space station or planetary base, unless you really wanted one.

The following is my entry into the New Wave Pirate Ship Contest, consisting of three fighters and two corvettes. Corvette 1: Light corvette sporting a heavy canon with explosive rounds, lock-on missiles, and three anti-missile turrets. Contains upper and lower decks for role play with a...

Depending on the number of submissions you get, and if you have time, you could test applicants' ships against one another. See how one group of five fares against another.

Finally got my five ships done, even tested them against several waves of pirates. They performed very well, though I am tempted to redo the weapon systems on a couple of the fighters.

Yup, already have the three fighters done and currently half way through the first corvette.

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the input. Looks like it's possible to get a nice GeForce 960 around $100, which falls into my budget. I'll see if I can find one that is DirectX 12 capable.

Looks like a fun contest. Where do we send the design files once we've created the five ships?

I find that my desktop is woefully under powered for playing StarMade. Hardly surprising, as it is several years old. As such, I've been wanting to upgrade my system to a more powerful processor and more memory. I will likely go for a 2 GB video card, but am uncertain if I should go for AMD...
