I prioritise British spellings of words. We invented the language, we'll damn well use it the way it was meant to be used. ;) I think I agree with your thoughts in general. It's interesting to see that my theory on the placement of crew quarters and other areas not essential to the fighting...

Thanks a lot! This should help in designing something to fit my ships. I like this idea of including bulkheads. In my next build, which will be a large carrier, I was toying with the idea of laying out not only the outline but also structural hardpoints like bulkheads throughout, then building...

Why not, and who says? I'm afraid I have to disagree with that notion wholeheartedly on the basis that StarMade, as a sandbox game, affords the player the ability to build and act according to their will. I don't believe there is, or should, be any prescription for how a ship in StarMade should...

That said, I run my idea on the assumption that when a warship in space is made ready for battle, nobody aboard would be enjoying downtime or sleep. I like to imagine that every crew member has a station to man. That said as well, if there are shifts then it would mean that there would already...

I did not know that would work. Cheers.

I thought I might benefit from a discussion on ship design philosophy as I go forward with trying to produce designs that are entirely my own (albeit inspired by existing designs in sci-fi and elsewhere). Chiefly, I've been wondering what others might prioritise in their designs in terms of what...

IGN: Dandy I'm looking for somewhere I can work on my projects freely, but with a bit of a community and other people's work to look at occasionally. Single-player space is getting pretty damn lonely. My build examples: Favourite type of cake: CUSTARD-COVERED SPONGE WITH STRAWBERRY ICING...

I did try setting it up that way but the effect seemed to be the same. They appeared and then they never did again thereafter. I see a lot of builders taking advantage of the nice new plumes but still managing to hide the modules. I don't know if it's perhaps my graphics settings, there's...

I can't seem to get the shiny new thruster plumes to appear reliably through ice blocks. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't and I cannot figure out what is happening affect whether or not they appear. I have them shrouded with ice blocks to obscure the unsightly thruster modules themselves...

In a similar vein, has there ever been suggested the possibility to paint block surfaces? If there were a means of segmenting block surfaces purely for texture you could do something similar to what the OP suggests without the need for mixing blocks in the same space or requiring the occupation...

Finally got my own server: Western Alliance Fleetworks. Starlancer and creative builds! Whitelisted. Message me for access. 10 slots only.

My personal opinion is that our current builds will live forever as examples of the game's beginnings. Though I see no reason that the devs should tailor development of any aspect of the game to cater to the continued relevance of our current builds into beta and full release. We're having fun...

I agree that solar panels would be really cool, but I'd be wary about agreeing with making StarMade's mechanics too realistic. It might hurt less realistic sci-fi creations if we have to account for limitations imposed by realistic physics.

If someone were to make a skin based on the following images, perhaps in male and female versions, I think it would be a hot download. By which I mean I would download it. A lot. Seriously.

Well. That explained it. I didn't know the AI ignored things in protected zones, I thought the protection only affected weapon damage. Thanks for the help!

Protected sector disables AI too then? I thought it only prevented weapons from doing any damage.

In my latest StarMade stint, though AI is proving to be a menace.

Hey folks, I've had a lengthy google-fu session and dug around on the forums but I can't seem to find any mention of the problem I'm encountering on my private server right now. I built a turret following a youtube tutorial and noticed that the AI wasn't doing anything it should have been. AI...

Alright, I tried reloading the chunks, it didn't work. The blueprint is from 10th of February 2015, I date them all when I save them. It's like when loading it, the game has forgotten or failed to load totally random parts of the ship and has in some cases totally guessed at what blocks...
