Well there are some additional reason for a base i can think of. On our server we had some events based around stations. One was a "ground combat" arena for small tanks/mechs. One was for a fun boarding event where we had to breach the stations defences and enter on foot to blow up the reactor...

Well for Role Play reasons some people build different stations. We for example have a "Hyperspace Communication Array" Base on the Edge of our system, it is just there for RP reasons and has no real in game function. And if a faction gets bigger your sector is getting to laggy if every asset...

@jointyfreack: Nice 40k style cruiser. Looks a bit to "Imperial" to me for bearing a Khorne mark and (in my opinion) needs to be more red :). But good work on this. Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!

Well i think in some very old posts there was an explanation what exactly what effect does and some details as well. The only thing i remember is that overdrive triples the energy cost while roughly doubling the damage. (you can check these values in config files, if you understand how to read...

I get this sometimes if i "Admin Warp" into a sector. Then Stations and ships "project" ghost images of them self a few kilometers away and often they are not orientated correctly. I oriented myself by pressing c and the station was at a 45 degrees angle. Leaving the sector and let it unload...

Wow... i tested this and it actually works... I tested if the home base protections works. It does not work. (that would be overpowerd³) BUT!!!!! Dragging a battle station next to your enemy undocking it and then make it a homebase..... Mwhuaharr harr harr!!!! (downside you can not dock it back...

Interesting Topic i must say. I would go with the the "who fires first usually wins". Also i totally agree keptick that in most Sci-Fi, mechs represent top level technology. I mean most late ww2 tanks would have had enough fire power to damage or destroy modern battle tanks (not neccessary from...

another thing that can happen is that the java updater for some reason whatsoever decides to "update" your 64bit java version with a 32bit version. If then your ram settings for java are to "high" star made wont start. Happened to me once. I once managed to set my whole starmade folder to read...

Simple answer "the barrel". Depending on the size of the turret the base might currently need some mass enhancers so it will turn well. If you get a message that the speed of the turret is affected when entering the base of the turret keep adding mass enhancers. They need power by the way, so...

you can check the energy requirements for your weapon in the Weapons menu (press t) go to details and look for the power consumption. There you see the power you need in power storage for a single shot of the weapon.

A few things i did not see in your post, but i might just have overlooked them: An additional downside of the Missile+Damage Pulse system is the high reload time between shots. A downside of the swarm missiles (missile+missile) is their randomness. They search a random target. which might be...

First time... wow that was quite some time and many many versions ago... Having built a decent ship (around 40 to 50 blocks long, half ship half salvaging array with a few cannons (still called amc at that time) bolted to the side and minimal shielding ) after having salvaged an abandoned...

This one happened quite a while back, when there were still the flat planets and on a multiplayer server. I recently had finished my 400 m escort carrier and used up almost all of my money and resources to built it. I had parked it under my factions home planet to load some of our fighters into...

Well as this is just a game you can build your turrets a bit "unrealistic". The barrel and the base do not need to be "connected" or physically touching. Well not counting the turret axis block. Black is the Hull in this case, Red the Barrel with Blue being the turret axis, and Green is the...

I noticed that i have now issues with the power consumption of my beam weapons. A simple damage beam(with 100% Cannon slave, fires only 2 beams) with around 10k dmg per tick needs now 490 Million energy. Any idea why this is suddenly that power hungry?

What would interest me is the point: 21. Ships with a lot of exposed sides to them cause massive fps drops. Could you explain this in more detail what you mean with exposed sides? As i am greatly interested in anything that is related to fps drops. And i really like to reduce them ans much as...

Well the Missile/Pulse combination is excellent against Stations and Planets. Massive damage over a large area. Fired from a relative close distance they have a chance against PD, especially if you fire a heatseaker swarm to occupy the attention of the pd first. The longer reload of the...

Well this is from one of my older cruisers the "Bastion". Still made with Ice Crystals and Lava... god that ship is old... i built it before the update that added all the other Crystals.

This is one of the reasons cloaking needs to get a cooldown of some sort to prevent instant recloak. A scanner is at the moment the only way you can decloak a ship and you can have only one on your ship and it has a "recharge" time. So this getting decloaked ans instant recloak is pretty...

Well as it is a Starter ship, i would from an RP perspective build a little bunk bed in the storage are as the player will "live" there, at least in the beginning. The metal mesh looks a bit lite a "bed" but seems to be a bit uncomfortable So replacing one with a different material to make it a...
