I'm much better with visuals than text, so I'll have to try what you're saying to fully wrap my brain around it, but it sounds viable!

You actually can set up your chain drive to charge without jumping. I build a "charge chain drive" feature into all of my ships as part of the core computer. Making AI more interesting The issue is that the sensors seem to have trouble detecting Zero. So detecting when a drive has FIRED is out...

Wow. Some of that dictionary sounds possible via RegEx commands, but it would be MASSIVE and I'm not skilled enough in the language to try it myself. XD

Sadly it would not. While the sector might be displayed on the screen, all the sensor sees is the command [sector]. I know, I was so sad to find this out too. :( There is that. It requires the destination to be unloaded, otherwise it'll just trigger no matter where you are and hitting 'home'...

I don't use Nvidia, but I did manage to get up and running again! (Uninstalled one more time, manually deleted all the old worlds and blueprints *saving those I need in another file*) And... Restarting the computer again. Lol. Just in case. Seems to be working fine now?

So I'm playing around with a fun new idea. The roughest part about Chain Drives is that if you're not paying close attention, you can easily end up overshooting your target. Well, what if there was a way to set up your Chain Drive to take you to your destination of choice, and then STOP, even...

Randomly, and for no apparent reason, Starmade has decided that it will start up fine, but then just randomly crash within about 2 minutes. Nothing has changed, no settings, no drivers, nothing. It worked this morning and now it just refuses to run and I cannot fathom why. I've even reinstalled...

PROGRESS! By now all of the particularly important internal areas have been completed, with a little wiggle room for either further expansion, systems, or cargo storage. Before I could really add any of the other planned systems (Anti Missile turrets, escape pods, and possibly Cargo pods or...

What kind of functions and capabilities do you like your mining vessels to have? Huge haulers for scraping planets? Smaller, more maneuverable ships for eating asteroid belts? Giant carriers with mining drones? How do YOU do Salvage?

You have a wonderful eye for interior decoration. I LOVE that display module pit. What is it you have flashing on the screens?

With the required outer walls taken care of, I felt it was time to build in some important elements of functionality. For Example: Automatic gravity! Every time you step onto or off of the elevator, your gravity is reestablished. No clicking required. I also added a handy automatic door...

That is absolutely fabulous! I'm curious about the potential applications of this technology for logic computers.

I did just a little more interior work, but with the plans I'm using there comes a point when I need at least part of the hull in place before I can proceed. In particular, the HUD. This was my very favorite piece from the previous model, and I'm happy to see it fits well. (Love it when plan...

Templates are amazing. My only complaint is that they seem really hit or miss when it comes to logic. Sometimes logic connections or display text copy over. Other times they're all erased. That's why the logic core is a blueprint and not a template. :) I'm glad everybody likes the rebuild. The...

Lag type issues aside, I don't think Starmade graphics are at all bad for a voxel game. The backgrounds are beautiful, and the textures are always improving. It's a ton better than Minecraft and just look how popular that is! As to why I love this particular game? I LOVE problem solving...

So I had some issues with my prototype "computer". Specifically, it could follow the correct sequence for requesting a name ONCE and then would completely get FUBARed if you tried to reset it for a new user, and it would sometimes get confused regarding the Warp Drive commands and would just...

The only thing I can possibly imagine actually working would be to connect a massive sphere of area sensors surrounding a ship to a bunch of forcefield blocks. (Each sensor to one block) Then as you passed by things in close range, they would make a silhouette in your display. It could be cool...

Sometimes a setback can lead to awesome improvements! I've built a cargo storage area, copied the refinery from the old ship over to the new one, and completely remade the crew quarters. Starting from the core room, if you take the (now fully operational) elevator down one floor, you'll find...

So I shamelessly stole the idea for the wall ports from the post above. (LOVED that touch!) I also discovered that Ice flowers make handy water spigots for adjusting pressure. Or a water leak... Depends how you look at it really. LoL

Just thought I'd come back with those images of the maintenance corridor decorations. If you like the pipe ports for the walls, I got the idea from this thread: https://starmadedock.net/threads/return-of-pipes.28309/#post-328616
