Hi, I'm trying to make a display with bar that shows how full the cargo hold is. So far I have been able to make the bar increase when cargo is added, but I can't think of how to make it go back down when cargo is removed. I can post images if need be. Thanks for any ideas ahead of time

So I've had this unfinished hull that I call cantaloupe (for lack of a better name) for some time now. I've started working on it again and I need advice, as sometimes I look at it and think it looks good for now; but other times I think it has too many flat edges and not enough detail. I don't...

Community wise, will this game become more like a space sim where mining, trading, exploration and other peaceful interactions actually happen and are meaningful or will the game end up more akin to a minecraft faction server where PVP and complete domination is the major objective?

How do you pronounce "yhole?" I imagine it to be one syllable like pronounced as yeeole I also have to wonder if they're edible. Since any thread that isn't about superficial things start flame, here's a completely ambivalent one. Hopefully this isn't considered shitposting

Ships in StarMade fly like mobile turrets, unless you hold the strafing keys for the opposing direction. My proposition is to add a function to the thrust menu that automatically tries to use some thrust to oppose all none-forward movement, to make the ship fly "on rails" like a plane. A...

Hello, I've noticed that as time goes on, it gets harder and harder to play multiplayer with a smaller ship. I am never able to build anything very large because I get bored of building it early on and it never gets finished. It takes me a few days to build a sub 10k ship, I can't imagine how...

I've been working on this ship for a while, I haven't started an interior or any RP things. It's supposed to be alien-esque. Ideas, thoughts, suggestions?

I've seen a lot of "universal" docking ports but lets try and make a community effort to find out which ones are actually compatible. Post your designs here with a similar post structure to this: 1. [PlayerName], [DockingPortName] [Picture] Here are the two types that I use: 1...

Lets be honest, missiles overshadow other weapon types in many circumstances. They can be long-range or short-range and are guided most of the time and therefore take less forethought to use. I propose a a simple, customizable fix to help make other weapons as viable as missiles. Minimum...

Since meta items are only 1 block id (afaik) why not have more uses for them? Here are some ideas I thought of: - Minor trade items like produce or supplies that are only for selling (for now) - Meta-item based player upgrades like reduced damage from stars or the ability to travel through...

Since mining with low mass ships takes a while, why do it manually?

When pressing right shift to go into freelook, the camera angles are relative to the world. They should be relative to the ship's angles. I'm not good at explaining, so have some gifs: What it is now: What it should be:

Along with the cargo update came many bugfixes; among these was a 'fix' for being able to rotate any block. I know I can't be the only one that has used this; but I thought that this oversight was very useful for creative design. I seems like a backward step to limit players creativity. Unless...

I think that currently there is no point in making a specialized ship in starmade for a reason other than size constraints. I have a simple idea which I wanted to share with the community which wouldn't break ships and would make it easier in the long run to balance ship types without breaking...

It feels a bit strange for the 'camera' to simply hover around when in gravity as the character is walking and the head is not perfectly still. I'm not saying battlefield level of view bob, but more like minecraft. Just a subtle movement that could be disabled in the options menu. I...

Hi, I made some rail turrets and turned on their AI only to find out that when the AI tries to aim outside the turrets arc of fire it causes my fps to drop significantly. I will post pictures soon

I know simple 2 line suggestions are bad but how complicated can I make this: Stars and there orbits aren't always in the exact center of the "star system" squares. This would make the galaxy look a lot more natural. How it is now: How it would be: The offset wouldn't be 2d, or at this...

Hi, this is random but, does anyone know how to build asteroids in a timely manner? Thanks

Greetings, this is my first shipyard post. This is a picture of all the I.S.R. vessels, if this thread shows any interest I will post more pictures.
