      Community Fleet Contest Results!

      MOSTLY FOR DEV TEAM MEMBERS - A quick report about a possible contest mistake: First off, congrats for you guys, devs and builders alike, for reaching this point in this great little contest! But it seems that someone might have been left uncredited - the main ship in...

      The paradox of the space-age: We're minuscule specks of dust adrift the cosmic winds, yet immensely significant for knowing it.

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Thanks for the suggestion... I'm kind of embarrassed a little for mentioning it, since the two salvage combos mentioned function as expected now that I tested them again. At least, now that I know they work, these are options too :D Sorry, starmade!

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Thanks for taking the time to explain this. But I actually was familiar with these operations. Slaving extras to weapon systems works just fine, and the weapons-menu shows the extras on salvage systems too, just no difference in function when used - I tested this with 100% cannons slaved to...

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Greetings, Jan! Thank you for your approving words, and sorry for the delayed reaction (forgot to hit "watch theard"). Good to know my system is appreciated. Your explanation of your solution for salvage+damage pulse was great too. Interestingly, I too encountered this problem of timing a...

      The art of automatic, direct-to-storage mining / For BEGINNERS with PICTURES

      Hi, fellow citizens! :D I started this thread because I'm a big fan of mining ships and wanted to help beginner players who are interested in building more advanced salvage systems. Share the wisdom if there are better solutions for salvaging than those presented here. (I know that cyclical...

      StarMade v0.198.131 - The Main Menu

      0ldSkull - thanks for the suggestions! the rotator orientation was correct, and i've also built a similar test setup which worked properly, but with another ship though :\ Kingofanime - ah, I understand, will check the sector size, and hope this will be solved.

      StarMade v0.198.131 - The Main Menu

      Awesome job guys, but there are 3 issues I would like to report (sorry if they were already reported, and please tell me if these problems occur only with my copy of the game): 1) THRUST MECHANICS CHANGED? Was proper propulsion intentionally made harder to achieve? With this update it seems...

      Thank you very much for the offer of a showcase, that is very generous... It would sure be good to see one of my own ships showcased. But I'm still kind of early in the process of learning this art, and I'm a slow builder, so it might take a good amount of time, but I will definitely be on the...

      Messor N39 Planetary Harvester v1

      This is my first upload (and only my 4th serious ship ever). As its name suggests, it is a harvester meant to mine planets. As usual, I'm disappointed about how it turned out visually (I know, it's basically a big cylinder with a bridge reminiscent of an agricultural harvester's cabin). But its...
