      How do you build good anti-titan weapons with last month's changes to weapon effects?

      So I've been spending a few days here and there working on a massive ship I got some inspiration for, and this morning started working on it's main gun. The concept I wanted to follow was for it to be an anti-titan coilgun, using a cannon master, linked to a beam slave and an explosive effect...

      Hey guys

      Been a while since I was around here, gonna have a poke around the game again since I got some time to myself, noticed a lot of cool updates. Did they add in the hyperspace drive with the new universe yet?

      Naming Weapon Systems

      Would be pretty cool, just so you can give your systems some of those awesome technobabble names like "Phase Cannons" or "Resonant Graviton Beam".

      Need some math info on Damage Pulse slave and Overdrive effect combo's, specifically for missiles.

      So the weapons information screen is 100% wrong, doesn't give anywhere near accurate numbers for energy consumption or damage dealt. Basically, here's my problem, I have a missile system with 734 blocks, attached to a damage pulse slave with 734 blocks, and an overdrive effect with 734 blocks...

      Transparency of the new Circuit Blocks

      Simple suggestion, make the circuit blocks such as "Active Bastyn Processor" and the like, more (or completely) opaque. They all have amazing potential for decorating ships, but being as transparent as tinted glass makes them less than ideal.

      Wireless Logic Activator (Remote Control)

      Basically a Starmade version of the wireless redstone controller from Minecraft - can't remember if it's actually in vanilla MC or part of a mod, but still. The concept is awesomely simple, there are two elements to it, the Receiver Block, and the handheld Wireless Controller. You input a...

      So.. the anti-gravity stop effect..

      Just built a huge chunk of the stop effect modules in my ship, and it gives me an effective 5.9% anti-gravity rating. Using that math, for the size of my ship, around 90% of the total volume has to be stop effect modules for me to achieve a complete anti-gravity system. Sounds legit, may as...

      Beam Weapon + AMC slave obsolete? (Nvm, was me being dumb)

      Is it even worth pairing these two up anymore since the beams now have a 0.1 second tick speed? EDIT: Just tried it, literally zero change in stats of the master beam weapon when paired with AMC.

      Hotkeys and weapons firing in flight mode.

      Would be really awesome if we could fire weapons assigned to the action bar numbers just by pressing those numbers, instead of having to scroll between the systems and then fire them. Have it function like an action bar on an MMO.

      List of new item ID's, enjoy!

      Put this together for my own personal use, but thought since the wiki pages aren't updated yet, some others might find it useful. It's a list of most of the new useful block ID's introduced in v0.15, it's not a complete list, just the ones I've written down so far. Block Name ID# Weapons...

      Game failing to launch after update

      I currently have no Starmade launcher it seems, after update the only file I can find is the one called "Starmade" an executable jar file, when I click it I get an Illegal State Exception: Sorry, it doesn't work this way! Please start the game with the StarMade-Starter you downloaded. No such...

      Stop passive effect math?

      Haven't had a chance to play the new update just yet, but has anyone done the math for how the stop system gravity neutralisation interacts with ship mass?

      Shield block lag

      Whilst constructing my capital ship, I've noticed extreme spikes in FPS lag every time I place more shield blocks after reaching about ~1m blocks. The lag is getting spikier and spikier the more I place, and also started for some reason giving me a "shields are down" warning when I'm placing...

      Some mechanics questions from a newbie.

      Tried to look for an answer to these on the Starmade wiki but it's pretty crap, needs updating. 1. AI behaviour, if I create a "drone" ship designed to be flown by the bobby AI, and stick an AstroTechno-thingy-beam on it, will it fly around and heal my ship when it takes damage? 2. Do power...

      Dyson Spheres..

      For those of you who don't know what a Dyson Sphere is, there are several different versions, with the most popular one being a solid shell of matter entirely encompassing a star, blocking all light and radiation it emits and harvesting it for the people who built it. Imagine that - being able...
