Your ship looks pretty sweet so far!

Well, that only happens when you're in a constant state of conflict. If it's just a wham, bam, thank you ma'am kind of fight, you have downtime to patch your ship in. :P

Light rods are excellent for engine lighting effects. Sure, they're not really useful in combat, but they are very handy for repairing after combat. You don't stick them on your main combat ship. Instead you make a small tender or maybe a turret on a station.

Yeah, I know right? With this thread being his entire life, something must have gone horribly wrong. Oh wait...

Yes, this first time it would be staged. But some pvp with someone who wants to pvp, who'll bring ships that won't lag the server to death, is worth a bit of staging, perhaps? He did bring up other issues though. I wouldn't whine to the server admins, for example.

Well, I am on the same server as you, MacThule. Once I get a shipyard up and some ships built, I'll come and fight you. We can make a game out of it. One of us takes a neutral territory, the other one has to conquer it. Who ever holds it the longest over a month, wins. And my idea of a...

Not much has changed from the last time this topic made the rounds.

According to LEGO, the plural is "LEGO bricks". And sure, you can make 'to scale' fighters look good, but their firepower will be kinda lacking.

Multiple wars. Many more squirmishes. Trolling BoB. Outlasting BoB. Hah, trolling Jita. I don't think people aren't sharing because they are ashamed. I think many aren't sharing due to the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into their ship designs. Like the first time you realize...

Not always, given the mass and armor differences between hull, standard armor and advanced armor. Mass limitations generally force people to go easy on the advanced armor while block count kind of encourages advanced armor.

There are many stories to be told.

The two are tied together, and overall, volume isn't a highly useful stat.

You've not played LoL, have you? The bile and angst going on there makes most other gaming communities look and smell like rose gardens. That being said, the community here is actually pretty decent. I am not sure what you mean by "locked and lockable"? Anything posted to community content...

But length is not the only measure of a fighter. What if it is a single pilot craft, with the speed and maneuverability of a fighter, but 31 meters in length? What it is then? This is the primary reason why a classification has consistently failed to appear in game. :P Absolutes are too...

A ship classification system really only works on a per person basis. However you want to classify your ship is up to you. The only places where people stick to a specific set of ship classifications are contests (where people have to conform to the contest rules), and RP servers (where ship...

Looks like an awesome exhibition.

Pretty much what he said. If you want to do realism, there'd be little to no detailing, and there'd be little to no amenities. Since AI don't have time for that. Also, what the heck is 'sky fi'?

If I were to build a carrier in StarMade, I'd take a page out of the drone builders' books: Have the fighters carried in ready racks inside the side of the carrier. So that they can all launch simultaneously. You can use a 'runway' to recover the fighters quickly. And my idea for an...

Yes. But an aircraft carrier is a far different kettle of fish from a space fighter carrier. Sure, your idea is neat, but to what purpose? If it's just going to be an RP ship, then that's fine. If you're expecting to do actual PvP, having a rather clunky system for recovering fighters is not...

I would offer up DeviantArt as a great resource for spaceship inspirations. There are metric boatloads of artists who design spaceships, from hardcore sci-fi stuff to the many space based video games, including StarMade.
