      If you can have something like: SSSSSSSSSSSS - - - TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT SSSSSSSSSSSS - TT With S being the ship and T the turret, it would be viable. Currently, one problem is that turrets are too easy to hit by focus fire or big guns. Thus I support the suggestion which suggests to divide turret...

      The Purpose of a New Thread

      Some peoples get annoyed seeing 20 planet-related threads after we got dodecahedron planets. They are either blind to the difference between those threads, feel that these threads (together with other old) spam or spam the first suggestion page or the search results. They just think "again...

      Why are people complaining about block ids running out?

      It will be a problem if everything gets a wedge or a new shape. Then we will have twice as much and >1024 blocks for the base game. Then add door colors... Every block colored in 16 colors and sold as 5 shapes consumes 80 inventory + IDs. We actually only need hull, hardened, glass, crystal...

      1:1 Scale D'deridex class Romulan starship.

      The only problem with this is the big hollow space. It will hit 10 hull blocks per vital very fast - even without RP stuff build in. Are you sure you wanna build a 300m long ship (I guess that's about the average size in StarTrek)

      mac? :p Microsoft and Apply are like global lotteries - with the difference that only the vendor can win.

      More categories in the shop for a better overview

      Basics Like we only have 1 reactor, 1 thruster, 1 shield, but 8 different hulls. These things which only exist once and are required for everything.. I would like a "Basic" category for it. Option There should be separators which don't open/close if a category has less than 5 items. + a bigger...

      1. False 2. Agree. A ship has only 1/2 turrets visible to the enemy assuming equal coverage => 8..11 -> 4..5.5 A ship uses about 2/3 of shields as it is the biggest target, assuming turrets are as small as you say => 4..5.5 -> 2.6 .. 3.6 A ship has 6 turrets with equal size => 2.6 .. 3.6 ->...

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      While true, imagine defensive drone spam. Now the drones with higher (performance (=more hp per mass unit)) win. It would be a nice option when blocks have different weight to use lightweight materials, but I don't know if it is time to replace ALL drones with cheaper versions.

      Round Planets!

      Medieval opinion: > Planets are a flat circle. > If you sail too far into the sea, you see a big water-fall into nowhere. Actual opinion: > NO - The planet is a sphere and bottom is actually the middle. StarMade opinion: > Planets are cubes. > You will see the truth if you are able to see the...

      Death cubes: Server side counter

      OMG 10% size increase means 30% more powa 20% size increase means 60% more powa Blame the cubic law, once you face a slightly bigger ship you are trash. That's why I want RP stuff more.

      Planet Hopping [ A Custom Game Mode ]

      Take Farming for a better late game is rock Take Ambushing Farmers for making them lose money advantage as paper Take "Stay as group and Ambush the ambusher" as scissor. Take "Strategy : out-farming a group waiting for a never coming ambush" as rock. It is always a game of luck. _ How are your...

      The problem with shields and weapons is this: Weapons can focus on one weak spot. Shields are separated for turrets. Weapons deplete the shield of equal mass in shield+recharger than the attacker spent in weapons+energy in just 8-11 seconds. You have no time to roll your ship and get your...

      how thick is your ship?

      Against pirates you need 2 turrets the size of 1/4 their fleet (both together = 1/4) and evade in circles (DEAQ... = right, up, left, down repeat) Or fly backwards and keep shooting (until the new patch is out with distributed thrust)

      Multiple Quickbars!

      We don't need that. We just need everything control-able by logic. Quick-bar #6..10 : Logic buttons which switch between setups Quick-bar #1..5 : Logic buttons which trigger different things if (logic + (correct setup) = true) Maybe we also need logic-controlled display blocks to give one the...

      Thrust Mechanics Explained

      I vote for (( Thrust you can produce | Power you should require = x^(a*b*c) / (a*b) )) where c is the longest axis and a the shortest Basically thrust and power = x^(3/2) with a slight penalty on thrust but with constant, not scaling space drag.

      What the community has suggested - An overview and ideas for the dev team -Update #1

      = 10 sectors a year? = ALL withing 3 light years = how many??? From a list of all sectors ( http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Category:Sectors ) I saw "Earth Sector 2" and "Earth Sector 45" both are on earth. It seems to me that StarTrek uses so many different sector sizes that you can not...

      Death cubes: Server side counter

      Some servers restrict uploads to a certain amount of blocks (I guess a third-party tool scanning file size or contents). But they allow bigger ships. AFAIK Sun-World allows 1 huge ship per faction, 3 big ships per player, and large ships else with legth={huge <= 800, big <= 500, large <= 350}...
