      This is a topic spawned from one of the recent dev streams where they were discussing how to implement premade storylines seamlessly into Starmade's ever-changing universe.

      Sovereignty; A Space Opera/Military Sci-fi

      Tutorials by FURB!

      Balancing Pulses and Missiles

      The new weapons system is undoubtedly miles ahead of the old one, even if some of it's aspects were awkward to get used to at first. Since it's release we've seen a lot of balance changes and even whole weapon revisions (new beams <3) and I think we're right on the heels of a vanilla balance we...

      Gaming... Why?

      For what reason do you and I have such an attraction to video games? The answer lies in our very nature. Socializing, exploring, escaping, dominating...

      Greetings, stardwellers. Once again, I ask for your attention, as we at Blitzwing have suffered a humbling defeat.
