      Habitation Pod (empty variant) 2016-09-28

      The standardized Habitation Pod is designed to be a modular component (through either copy/paste or docking, depending on lag etc) for larger ships and stations, simulating outdoors with its glass bubble to allow for cities, parks and other open areas in space, making it ideal for colony fleets...

      Criss' Thread

      As long as the biggest ships are rare (and if there's some kind of way to stop them spawning in on players/servers without the memory to handle them) then their inclusion is a good thing. It would allow players who aren't playing online to have massive capital scale battles and the like without...

      The title theme and Drifting Through The Nebula are good stuff, looking forward to hearing more.

      Could Fighters Get a Buff?

      And it depends on whether you can finish the fighter in one shot or not.

      Opinions On Starmades Combat

      I think there's a certain size range where Starmades combat really shines, and that's roughly at the point where you're either hitting the soft cap or just about breaking into needing an auxiliary power chunk or two. Once you get two big the ships feel too sluggish to really be enjoyable, and on...

      Could Fighters Get a Buff?

      Again, Starmade takes a lot of cues from pop sci fi as far as combat goes, so there's always going to be the space navy aspect to it. Though, one of the biggest focuses of Starmade imo is the player freedom aspect, and I think combat should reflect that and allow for multiple different size...

      Could Fighters Get a Buff?

      History disagree's there, since in WW2 aircraft carriers where already supplanting battleships. Even before aircraft carriers really started dominating smaller ships played a bigger role. And yeah, comparing a real life wet navy to a Starmade doesn't quite hold up (fighters advantages are...

      Blood and Steel Season 3

      Individual swarm missiles tend to be weak, which makes armour quite effective against them, and slow enough that shields tend to recharge enough to stop the damage (missiles don't transfer left over damage nearly as well as cannons). They're also not particularly clever in what they target, so...

      Could Fighters Get a Buff?

      Fighters aren't really practical, which is why the aircraft carrier completely replaced the Battleship in utility?

      Valkyrie Blitz 2016-09-25

      The Valkyrie series of fighter have been in my blueprints for a long time, initially developed for the old AMC-weapon system and kept refit throughout the various iterations of Starmade. Envisioned as a long distance one man fighter, the Valkyrie series all sport limited crew accommodations such...

      Ptolemy Class Battlestar 1.0

      Built to be as small as possible whilst still earning the title "Battlestar", the Ptolemy functions more akin to a destroyer then a battleship, using a considerable amount of turrets and missiles to deal with groups of smaller enemies, and forsakes heavy armour in favor of quick charging ion...

      What did you do in Starmade today?

      Still have a couple of tweaks I need to make before release, but I got a pretty cool shot in while I was mass spawning drones

      What did you do in Starmade today?

      Almost finished a new mini-Battlestar build. Just need to redo the pick up lines and test it out.

      What do you listen to while playing StarMade?

      Sometimes music, sometimes podcasts or whatever. Nothing really fixed or consistent.

      Atmospheric glass

      Could also work, though using glass or something could let the builder simulate a day/night cycle.

      Atmospheric glass

      Something that may come in handy for some builds is a kind of glass that when sunlight shines through it acts like a planet atmosphere, possibly having different kinds for different types of atmosphere. Would really bring out colonies and the like.
