      Experiments and thoughts on stealth technology

      So I recently came back around to starmade and have begun looking into stealth technology. I figured black surfaces with concealed or barely visible weapons, engines and a radar jammer would make for a solid and inconspicuous platform that would allow for aesthetic touches and would give a...

      Adjusting/disabling inventory capacity

      So with the newest update, I am faced with a problem. In my SP game I'm building ships and my inventory is currently at 2.4m/2k capacity and now I can't remove any blocks from my ships because my inventory is beyond capacity. I could switch to using creative, but creative is more inefficient...

      Mines and their practicality

      So recently I've been wanting to build a minelayer but I'm starting to wonder if mines are even practical. If deployed in enough numbers and in close enough proximity around an object they would certainly get hit by things and blow up, but can you fit enough warheads inside a small mine for it...

      Shield Regeneration

      So I've been building a ship and I focused on being able to sustain damage for extended periods of time which necessitated the shields being able to generate more shields per second than the DPS being dealt to the ship. The ships' shields/sec is currently 1.5mil (or so says the display: ), but...

      Escape pods

      So with the advent of the idea of torpedoes and rails and logic I decided it wouldn't be impossible to build a self-launching escape pod. As it turns out building the mechanism and getting it to work is far from difficult, however getting the pod to go where I want it to go has proven to be a...

      A couple questions

      So my friends and I recently started playing starmade again, and a couple of questions have arisen: 1. My friends decided to be annoying and shot up a ship I was building a bit. They didn't actually destroy any blocks - they just damaged some of the hull. The damage is miniscule - I can't see...

      Cannot connect to servers

      Earlier today I decided to start looking for a Starmade server. I found one and attempted to connect using the IP listed, however it got stuck at connecting to ipaddress:4242 and eventually failed. I tried this with multiple servers and connecting to all of them failed, so it must be on my end...

      Symmetry tools

      For some reason, whenever I make a ship over about 96-112m in length, width or height, the respective symmetry plane just stops working. After about 10-15 minutes it works again, but only for another 60-70m. This is a big problem when building big ships, at least for me. Any and all help is...

      Different power sources

      I think we should have different types of power sources, which each come with their advantages/disadvantages. 1. Antimatter reactor - Uses an antimatter/matter reaction chamber to generate tons of power, but if damaged in the slightest causes a massive and crippling explosion. 2. Nuclear...

      Beam weapons

      I think it would be nice if we had something other than cannons. I know the game is still in alpha and there are other issues to address, but it would be nice if sometime in the future we had another weapon choice.

      Turret bug

      I've just put a somewhat large turret on a ship that I just made. I set the AI module's target to selected target, set the mode to turret, and activated it. I then selected an asteroid, and the turret didn't do anythng. I tried loading a whole different ship with a different set of turrets, and...
