      A step forward

      On the old ingame chat client you didn't have private channels. All chatter was in one channel. It made the server more inter active. People took note of others either in a good or bad way. The end result was more inter action. Others came to the rescue of players under attack or just visited to...

      Pirate station to derelict station?

      Well i found it always a bit silly that a shot Pirate Station becomes scrap rather then normal blocks. A shot ship doesn't turn into scrap either. If the default pirate stations were to be made up of simple blocks then it would not be an issue if people started farming them. My Home Base is...

      How to avoid server lag?

      How to avoid server lag? A StarMade server lags because it's incapable of transferring of all environmental changes by every player online to every player online in real time. A StarMade map is unlike any map in a multiplayer game because nothing is static. The whole map is made up of chunks...

      When do we 'lock-in' ?

      Lecic StarMade to me is the Shipscore block and an X number of other blocks. Grab a core add some systems and shoot the other players or pirates with it. That's what most players want to do. Just frolic around and have fun while doing that. Alpha ended there. Everything else is dressup...

      When do we 'lock-in' ?

      Starmade is very strong in throwing in it's own glasses. The parallel with Minecraft is often made. It did not go on Steam it didn't use a marketing channel of any kind. It's succes came solely from the player base loving it to bits and telling all there friends to come and play. Starmade's...

      Planet Weather and Energy

      Planets are evil! They finaly got rid of planets in StarMade only to hotfix them back! :p That proved you can have a map without planets so where is the map generation option to turn them off! But he if planets ever stop beeing lagging rotating ship eating server killing monstrosities. Then...

      Let's make more blocks bomb-able

      This is not possible in the game because the game doesn't know what your ship looks like. It is just a pile of blocks to the game. This is why a shop can't repair armor. A shipyard also completely removes a ship and then rebuilds from scracht if you ask it to repair it. It doesn't patch up the...

      Aux Pwr on Stations

      Stations have always been better than ships. Stations have better firepower and shields then any ship could ever have. My Home Bases have always been designed to be massive ship killers. Beeing invulnarable helps with that offcourse. Though a guy like Komatodik will still simple park his ship...

      The Despair Thread

      I tend to have neutral is hostile on to defend against those non faction interlopers. Forgot to turn it off while spawning in a very large ship with active turrets. The Home Base came alive and the ship turned to space dust in seconds. Had been mining a week to fill that print. This was before...

      [Bug] Tradestation bug (Admins Watch out)

      The ingame stations should have been given an upgrade long ago. There are plenty of nice stations for download on this site. No admin should still be using those old stations on their server. That be said. You can only change the stations so seed them across the map when you start a new map...

      What do you do when you're bored in StarMade?

      Don't blow up the server blow up the other players.

      Help me Starmade community, You're my only hope.

      I am sorry but you are out of luck. There is no corresponding block data of the ship inside the file you provided. Horrible site to download a file from btw.

      No shapes or groups for energy to get better returns.

      If energy is free to place then you can make diagonal shaped ships or ships with wide open spaces. It would open up a whole new way to be creative on ship design. People that like to focus on looks will have more options. People that like to think smart to get the very best possible "that...

      No shapes or groups for energy to get better returns.

      StarMade is so complex. For new players it is a very steep hill to climb. So let's do away with shapes or groups for energy modules and capacitors. Let them be the same as shields and shield rechargers. Just throw in the blocks in your ship. It doesn't matter how or if they make contact or...

      A small guide to power

      This works for small ships. If you ship is big enough then just forget about shapes. Use long strait lines that do not make contact to each other. The longer the better until you hit the 4 million cap. Is your ship long and wide use the x and y axis from a single point. "L shaped lines" Try...

      How to efficiently copy/paste in advanced build?

      You can rotate using the left CTRL + Mouse wheel over x and y axis. You may need to roll it a couple of times to get the correct position. Yeah thats what i do add a support structure then paste onto that. I don't know of any another way to do this. You can set mirror lines while pasting to...

      Can't Join Multiplayer

      This may not solve it. But let's try since StarMade seldom says why things don't play as they should. I gather that Single Player works for you. Most servers and i really hope ALL servers use authentication to protect them. Enable uplink of your ingame name in the StarMade launcher. If you...

      Public min-maxing should stop somewhere at 80..95%

      In a SandBox game there is no Up, Down, Left or Right. Server owners can set a frame work / rules on how things play out on their server. But the base game is just loose sand with out any kind of framework, border or safety net around it. Role Play exists in the mind of the player not in the...
