      Higher Contrast Crosshair

      I started building a ship that had a white outer hull, and I found that even without bloom it was a bit hard for me to see my crosshair, so I decided to go make my own. It is smaller, less intrusive and gives enough contrast to always be able to see it. It is a nice balance for myself...

      What Graphics Card do I need for Starmade?

      So far every source I have found says that nForce is an integrated graphics chip made for AMD Athlon and Duron series CPU architectures. I recall in recent memory that a lot of intel CPUs had the specification \"Intel HD Graphics\", so I have to assume that each intel processor contains onboard...

      What Graphics Card do I need for Starmade?

      The graphics chip is an integrated one (the nForce series) that comes with AMD motherboards. I have one in my own (7025 / 630), but I have never ran it before by itself. I found the benchmark results on Passmark. For comparison my full graphics card (ATi Radeon HD 6870) has a score of 2,565...

      Improved docking, planets, and other ideas

      I find the idea of having secondary cores is a bit iffy, because cores are made to be placed at the center of mass and act as a fulcrum for looking up and down. If you made a ship with an L at 90 degrees clockwise, place a cockpit on the L and use it to look up and down you would notice a weird...

      Exterior Modules

      This would be a great idea, considering that if I just put two of my ships into battle with eachother they can just easily just blast straight through and overheat the core with little to no thought. I\'d like to have battles where fighters are crucial to taking out systems where then the larger...

      1:2 scale Star Destroyer

      I did have a tiny scale somewhere on a forum and started working on a half scale like this, and from what I have so far is still an unfinished central hull. Time to rework it into another class. I\'m starting to think about one with an interdictor field simulated by powerdrain beams to prevent...

      Shield Blocks; Consider This

      With the idea of sub-connections you could have interchangable armor plates with low recharge delays to protect yourself from small fighters. Your ships would be harder to make still as beautiful, but then they get to be practical.

      Giant Venator Class Resolution 1:1 Scale Being Built 7/24/13 2 AM update

      I suggest you go into advanced build mode and learn how to use the Symmetry tool for building the basic hull, because that is going to take practically forever. I\'ve been building a half scale Star Destroyer (800x500) with YZ and XY symmetry, meaning I have had to place a quarter of the blocks...

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      When I had the collision the game dropped to less than a frame per second and crashed, and would not start up again because of the collision and just freeze entirely, but in a small frame of time if it happens again I should be able to use the command.

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      I might have to give it a couple attempts, because I originally had the thing on a default name. With the small scale ship itself still being a large ship I predict it might be the biggest file.

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      At first when I decided to build a ship of a specific design I went ahead and built a giant block made of the materials I needed a lot of and bought multiples of, for lack of a reliable source. I did just spawn in the materials when I started making the bigger scale Star Destroyer though...

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      I used to make mods for a game called FTL, so I actually have the ability to get a finalized version up of the first one shown. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m6wzqo8pc0rh5yh/Imperial_Class_SD_V0-9.zip Extract the files and take the folder that contains the files (5 folders and 3 files) and move it...

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      I was thinking it was a bit too small and am now building a more properly scaled one - half scaled, so 800x500 blocks instead of roughly a couple hundred blocks long.

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      The scale was judged for the dimensions, but I did try and make things proportionate to the pictures using what I had built as references. (like the width of the ship is about 3 bridges wide; so and so) I\'m still starting to see more things that are off-scale as I start to attempt at an...

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      For detail, I forced myself not to make it a plain flat surface and tried following what I could find, and I presumed I would have to start the build again to move the core.

      Imperial Class Star Destroyer

      *Update* I was installing Quicktime earlier and skipped through the options to just get through the install. And unfortunately, the place where I downloaded it from turned out to be almost as safe as arsenic. When I went ahead and started downloading it (it was just some redirected download) a...

      StarMade 0.09378: Fixes, shield balance & new admin tools

      Time to start scouring the galaxy for sheild generators, because if I get enough capacity recharging won\'t matter unless fighting against dreadnaughts.
