      So there are still people playing Starmade...

      I have assumed that this game is abondondware. They even published a bullet hell game in the time between now and the last update. a completely new game released, while this one withers away. They broke the balance and they do not know how to fix it so they gave up.

      Happiness System for the new Population Update

      I have been playing dragon quest builders 2, and i love a lot about that game. You build certain rooms, and those make the population happier. I think that this might have been the solution this game needed from the beginning: instead of reactor chambers special rooms with equipment and the...

      So yeah, i have the turret docker on the ship, and a rail on the core, but i can not get them to dock. Am i using the right blocks? There is no docking beam like in the past, how do i attach a core to a rail dock? Never mind, i figured out what i was doing wrong,it was a Rail DOCKER i...

      Don't worry about the grammar, i has multiple college duhgrees and still screw up my own language, a lot. One caveat that is going to screw with things, is that i am running the quickfire config, with the quickfire initiative. So someof the power features are different, like stabilizer...

      So there is a method to that madness: no weapons have been installed yet. so i may need to enlarge my reactor and if so, i don't want to go back and have to adjust those chambers. Now for a new problem: How do you make turrets now? 3 years ago i would put a rail docker on a ship core, and fire...

      Thanks for the help, i now have a high level jump drive, a high level scanner, and my shields recharge a fast now. Is there a reason not to set reactor capacity to 100%? does that degrade efficiency?

      Yep, that did it. And it looks like i can level it up too. This is good to know. Now i can finish my test plaftform ship.

      Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like this system needs a bit more work... Ok, so do i need a new chamber per skill tree, or just one base chamber and one big chamber?

      Thanks for the screenshot. So i got the conduit, and at a reactor level of 140 i put down some 10k ftl chambers but was only getting a level 1 reactor. i tried hitting the level up button but nothing was happening. Not sure if this is a mistake on my part, or if my quickfire install messed...

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      How do you upgrade reactors in quickfire? do you just make the block groups bigger? do you make a new block group? The game does not tell you much about how this works. I am playing around in creative trying to make a max jump range ship, but all it ends up doing is either making two groups of...

      How do you level up a reactor chamber?

      What happened to Starmade?

      I have high hope with the universe update. It seems they are moving from the "giant empty universe" to the "smaller funsized universe" and i like that idea a lot. Do you visit every sector now? will you visit every sector in the next update? ELite dangerous has this giant universe that is super...

      What happened to Starmade?

      The lack of twitch streams is concerning. I have found that the best indicator for if a game is good or not, is the content it generates on the platforms. Having an official stream, while time consuming, helps sell the game, in a very big and practical way: people see the game, how the game is...

      What happened to Starmade?

      There is a stage in early access games that takes a while. This game is in that stage now. I suspect after the universe update the game development will start picking up speed. The thing about early access games, is that 5 to 10 years for development is normal. We are spoiled by AAA...

      Fun fact about the power stream

      Yeah, i went back and saw the dates on the posts and it seems i have stumbled into a very dead thread..... It also occurred to me that i have the quickfire confing setup too, so power is different. I was having a confused Data moment....

      So voids now have a purpose? i never considered that they stop acid spreading. I was going to fill EVERY space with something but now.... This makes me think that putting "crew quarters" on the outside and systems in the interior is not a bad idea. I Is there a list for the armor protection...

      Fun fact about the power stream

      Dumb question: did you try shooting it with the default weapon that characters have? This might mean that boarding parties are extra dangerous now.... I had just gotten used to the power 2.0 update, and started liking it, and now i see things like this.

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      so we are testing a new configuration that is on github, and giving feedback on it. This is more of a hardcore test for balancing out the game. I like this approach, because it is a bit more organic. We play the game, and we talk about how to tweek the config to make it more balanced.

      The Quickfire Initiative: Rebalancing StarMade.

      Sounds difficult to use. i will table it for now. How are turrets made after the weapons 3.0 update and quickfire? i remember in the old days that they could have their own power. Is that still the case or are there some subtle changes that i need to look into?

      Thanks for the info. So i guess the best configuration for them is either shooting behind you while you flee from something, or being dropped from a fighter.
