      Offline defense system

      This is a scenario showing one potential change and that it wouldn't make any difference. My point is right now the range is 8K if we change it to 10K I will simply do the same thing just at 10K. You are correct to an extent. that would make a positive difference. Just not going to be a...

      Offline defense system

      It doesn't matter, how far the range is. I can still get passed the issue. Scenario 1: targeting range and missile range are equal at a much longer distance. So then are the ones on my ship. Just means I shoot from further back. Scenario 2: targeting range is further than missile range giving...

      Offline defense system

      I can attack any base you build and never take a single hit and destroy the base. All I need to do is stay out past the targeting range. I then enter fire a long range salvo and back out. I move and fire another one. Just keep repeating it. Lets say your able to send out AI ships while off...

      how many rail mass enhancers?

      RequiredEnhancerCount = ( DockedMass - 50 ) / 5 You will need them on the ship and the lower portion of the turret. You will need to account for the enhancers mass also on the ship. (2000-50)/5 = 390 on lower turret. 390*.05 = 19.5 (2000+19.5 -50)=393.9 on the ship. You will need 50 power for...

      Top 5 things I Think starmade needs to change before the game is released as paid

      Mos the feature stuff you mentioned they already have plans in the works on. Frequent Suggestions Megathread and other threads cover them. On to the issue of Java. I'm a C, C++ fan. I started programming in ASM and now program in pretty much anything and everything. As for java running its...

      Offline defense system

      People seem to often have an issue with not being able to defend ships and bases when they are offline. Defending Undocked Ships We could take a lesson from another game KoC Kingdoms of Camelot. There people had castles and so on and would go on vacation and could put enact a state in which...

      How many people are still build vs waiting for new power

      Thanks for the answers. No wrong answers obviously. Seems in part the primary people who are still building seem to build by filling in a shell and those of use who build ships around systems aren't doing that much building.

      Heat box/Interferance box solution, now with images!!!

      Just want to be clear. I wasn't saying your idea was bad. Just they could simplify the issue and not have to define heat zones at all if they went ahead and did as they plan to in the future and atmosphere and combine it with a general heat system.

      New Planet Speculation Thread

      The following is something I am using myself. It is pretty easy to implement. The two terrain strips can be generated using a height map. The surfaces that are the same color are matching. They wrap around the sphere like 2 C shapes. The cubes aren't perfect cubes however the larger the planet...

      Why I think the power system update shouldn't upset us so much

      I really haven't seen anyone complaining to much about the new power system itself primarily because no one has any clue what it will end up as. However, just looking at the new proposal a lot of ship designs that made use of the small space requirements up to 2 million power will have trouble...

      Heat box/Interferance box solution, now with images!!!

      There is a simpler and better solution. Consider they at some point want to install an atmosphere system and they are trying to come up with a way to encourage having living interiors to ships so they don't end up with solid masses of blocks. The heat sinks idea you are using pretty much is the...

      N-body physics

      You can simulate almost anything and reduce the math involved if you are willing to create restraints to the problem. Take N-body for example if you make a rule planets are effected by the sun and not one another that reduces the problem by several degrees. You could then say moons are only...

      How to prevent solid mass ships

      As you are probably aware Thermal conductivity is created by the movement of particles where electro is based on the movement of electrons. It also depends on how you are defining superconductivity. If you mean simply without the loss of energy "liquid Helium-4" fits. If you are talking some...

      How to prevent solid mass ships

      We have all seen them ships filled with blocks barely any interior space at all. This suggestion goes along with the Power Suggestion but can be used separately. It also goes along with this atmosphere simulation Blog: How to determine if atmosphere is escaping from a voxel(block based) vessel...

      Power Suggestion

      The idea was to base the system on a real power plant without making it overly complicated. While real plants use a heat-exchanger which then sends super-heated steam to a turbine that is connected to a generator that would be a bit complicated. In this case think of it as a super efficient...

      Power Suggestion

      The following image is a simple representation to make it easier to visualize The purpose of this suggestion is to get away from putting down massive number of blocks for the sake of power. It allows for a massive amount of variance in design so the systems could fit in many different ships...

      Are near invulnerable shields a good tactic?

      I see what your problem is you want to be the biggest fish in the see. What you are missing is there are always equal or greater size fishes. Under combat conditions shield recharge is different Defense Systems - StarMade Wiki Even if they where able to recharge at a full rate they still would...

      How many people are still build vs waiting for new power

      Just wondering how many people are still building as apposed to waiting for new power system to see what it offers. For myself it seems pretty pointless to build without knowing how stuff will work. Sure I could leave areas in a hull for a reactor but it would be all guess work and considering...

      N-body physics

      It would be difficult to say the least, employing N-body physics in this game. In the real universe the everything is a product of physics. The masses of every object, distances from one another orbital periods are all created by the system. In this game the Objects aren't laid out in a manor...
