This all reminds me of the old saying, "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should..." Personally, I still don't understand why the whole achievement and badge system is needed -- much less a dozen different ways to rate a post. Is a "carrot-on-a-stick" reward system really...

A common tactic I've seen used by griefers was to repeatedly ram a ship core into the side of a larger ship (or planet or station) until they lag glitch into an interior space, allowing them to bypass the shields and get direct access to the core and faction module. The recent changes to...

I can see it working on a smaller scale than reality -- after all, StarMade itself has a vastly reduced scale. Ingame stars are 10 to 30 kilometers away from each other (instead of light years apart, just one of which is 9,461,000,000,000 km -- 9 trillion kilometers... the closest star system...

I loved the genetic experiments we could do in Star Wars Galaxies to create new mounts and pets -- that was a LOT of fun to play with! ^_^ The Tribble breeding in Star Trek Online was similarly fun. SWG was a bit involved, and the investment of time and effort turned a lot of players away from...

Someone on a server I used to be on tried to encase a star (using a faction base as the core, since it wouldn't take damage), but it didn't work -- the light FX still shone brightly even when the star was fully enclosed. They finally settled for a base within the star, which made pirate raids...

Well, that was 1adog, actually haha! :p I just wanted to point out the methanol vs ethanol issue since it's a pretty common mixup with that particular discovery :D

hehe! Well, it's actually methanol, which you might find in formaldehyde, antifreeze, or fuel (it's actually an excellent alternative to petroleum-based fuels!).... ethanol is what you'd get drunk off of :D You can read about the first discovery of methanol in space here -- it's a cloud that...

Insane? No, this... is... STARMADE!! :D

Yay!! ^_^ That doesn't sound like it'll be too difficult to add in then :)

I haven't seen the dev build yet, so this may not be a relevant question, but: will logic gates require a large number of blocks or space to implement on existing builds? In other words, is this going to be like some of the redstone contraptions you could build in Minecraft, where you need a...

I.S.S. Pellaeon Think of it as a small somewhat exposed starship.... the core will be on the bottom level -- you can't add blocks below the core or it will be unable to dock. You'll need a Bobby to automate the turret and a weapons computer to link the weapon modules to. A faction module is a...

And NPCs too (who also make great stepladders! ^_^)

There were some posts about this problem back on the old website after the .14x update, too -- it was sort of a little mini rollback, like the game skipped a save and kinda forgot you did anything since the last save. It was especially annoying when it rolled back my plexchests and poofed the...

Sorry, but I'd have to disagree with this statement. The only people who will be left behind are the ones who just don't try. Some people do better with hands-on experience, some people do better by doing extensive reading and studying, and some people do better by having an instructor guide...

Honestly, I wouldn't say that anything is a "must" on any ship. In the end, always just do what you think looks good -- after all, it's your build, an expression of your own imagination and creativity! :cool: If it echoes what others are building, that's fine -- and if it takes a left turn at...

We may need more hotbars then.... o.O

I like that idea, Yaodin! It'd make for an interesting twist if pirates or some other NPC faction could invade a player's planet and begin terraforming it ^_^

There's always Triffids, too..... o.O

Same here! I used to tinker with the settings, but I found that it kept resetting them back to the defaults when I logged out or let the sector with the turret/ship unload. :( So now I just make the build in such a way that I'm sure the default settings will give me whatever stats I want. If it...

What will work will really depend on both the size and shape of your ship, as well as the "look and feel" you're aiming for... I'd suggest checking out some of the more detailed builds here (both in the Shipyard forums as well as in the Community Content) for ships that are about the same size...
