      Does shipyard module orientation matter?

      I think you are right. Told you I haven't used them in a while. My point was make sure that the modules ARE linked. Then again, if they weren't, I thought that either the computer or anchor threw up warnings about invalid build area or configuration, something like that. Oh and the distance...

      Does shipyard module orientation matter?

      I haven't used shipyards in a while, but the modules definitely did not need to be oriented a particular way. Only the shipyard anchor had a specific orientation. Often I find I have to move the anchor or rebuild the module arms. I tend to forget to re-link the modules to the anchor after...

      Salvage Turret Control

      I built one a while back. It was manually aimed however. The last I heard, one had to use a weapon computer with no modules connected (so to cause no damage to the target) then have the bobby AI set to Selected Target. This however only shot at the centroid of the target, so not very...

      Will the new cargo transfer make cargo pods easier?

      Maybe check out Universal Cargo Dock Proposal. UCD (Universal Cargo Dock) prototype proposal If one can get the logic to work, this should automate more specific cargo transfer between entities.

      "To prevent building exploitation..."

      I thought this was a bug as it breaks a fundamental feature, namely pasting in build mode. How far away does one have to be? I'm in the middle of a 1000m shipyard on a turret without thrusters. Easily 300m from the nearest block on the station and 100m from the nearest ship. Does it have to...

      UCD (Universal Cargo Dock) prototype proposal

      I actually had created a simplified system a few months ago. It used less blocks. But I thought I would improve it to meet the conditions set out here. Unfortunately, the last update broke it. I was using a simplified USD (the station did not need a docking module) so everything was going...

      Wedge Tool for making Ships Smoother

      It would also be nice to add smoothing into the Build Helper tools. Probably as a selectable option.

      What did you do in Starmade today?

      Last night I started a new single player universe. I looked at the map in the spawn system and noticed an ice planet right beside a green planet. I thought that might be cool so I went and took a look. There was nothing special about the green planet. The ice planet on the other hand was...

      Mining drone missing secret sauce?

      On my drones, the Salvage Computer is connected to Storage, then Storage is connected to Cargo. I leave the Storage to NOT auto-pull. That way when they re-dock they automatically unload.

      Help with docking?

      When you issue the Drone Recall command, make sure your drones are in line of sight of their pickup points. They will head straight through your ship to get to their pickup point.

      Isanth Pirates Always Attacking Me

      Always buy a radar jammer at the shop and put it on your first ship. This makes it harder for them to hit you in a chance encounter. Allows you a greater chance to get away unscathed. If you are lucky, they might even ignore you.

      Email changing does not appear to work

      I too cannot change my email. However, in my case, the site seems to think my account doesn't have a password. It also says I can send an activation code to my current email address. The problem is, that I no longer have access to that email address, and it doesn't ask to send activation code...

      Drone Miners

      One important point I noticed, a mining drone will not mine unless a storage is connected to the salvage computer.

      Increase maximum build area for Stations?

      Perhaps your station is too near the edge of the sector. You can't build across a sector boundary.

      Brainstorm This Recycler/Block Digester

      There is a plexrecycler block in-game, I picked up a bunch of them in a loot cloud. As I recall it was deactivated though.

      Read by Council Hull Regeneration Module

      Hull Regeneration would fit well with an organic or biological ship theme, as in the hull heals itself. Or even a Borg theme, invisible nanites repairing the hull.

      Sound Emitting Blocks

      I like it. Of course it would have to come after the developers add atmosphere for ships and stations. You know, since sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. ;)

      tiny suggestions that don't justify a thread

      In the build helper, I would like to be able to just type in the number besides just using the sliders. Also for the circle portion, I would like to have a width and thickness option. To explain, assuming the current radius is the outer radius, thickness would say how many blocks would project...
