      Suggestion Make Modding Sub-Forums clearer in purpose

      Reading a few threads, I don't think I'm the only one who gets a little confused on the best place to have 'discussions' on modding-related issues rather than just 'announcing' Could I request a pinned thread at the top of each to give a clear outline of what type of topics are apropos for...

      header.smbph bounding box oddities

      I'm processing the header files of blueprints and have run into a odd issue with what I thought were the bounding points for the entity. They are close, but wrong. I get the data as 6 floats (2x x,y,z) from byte position 0x8 onwards. For example, I have a test ship that is 21 x 11 x 7 (LWH)...

      Split server.cfg into -defaults and -overrides

      Instead of having a single server.cfg file that is a mix of installation-time defaults and manual overrides, a practice I've seen really help with config management is to split the 2 purposes into distinct files. server-defaults.cfg This file is overwritten at every upgrade/installation. It is...

      Complexity and UX hampering game: UX improvements [Part 1]

      First - I absolutely love the potential of this game and purchased it early on for that reason. I believe StarMade is falling into the classic product trap of attempting to throw more features at a problem of stalling growth momentum. As has happened to many games before - steep learning curves...

      What type of StarMade gamer are you?

      Every gamer is unique, but we all probably fall into one bucket or another. I think it would be interesting to see what the composition here is and how that affects game development.

      New Thrust & Speed equations

      I'm working on a project that requires the various game mechanic equations. With the new Thrust update I had to jump in to work out how to calculate these values in the new world. I thought I should post here so that 1) People can double check they are correct, and 2) Save others who need it...

      Bug Unable to update Profile Cover

      I'm attempting to update my profile cover, however it results in a server error ("A server error occurred. Please try again later"). Tried both .png and .jpg formats to no avail. The image I am trying is the same size as the default cover image being used. I've attached it on the off chance it...

      Lights require minimal power to light-up?

      Picture this: You're fighting a large ship in Battlemode, so you cannot see power & shielding level. The ship has external running lights. All of a sudden, the shield effect disappears and your chewing into the ship's hull. Shortly after, you hit a critical junction in their power...

      A scalable mathematical model for ship classification

      As a concept, I've put together a scalable mathematical model for ship classification. It is purely mass-based and pays no attention to the role of the ship (other stats like DPS or thrust). It uses a scale that seems to reasonably group ships that are visually similar in size. It has a generic...
