      Crashing at 94% load

      The game has usually worked very well for me, but after this latest update (v0.19592), I am unable to make it past 94% on the load screen. It just hangs there and goes no further. I tried repairing the install, to no avail, and have even gone back and reloaded the previous version. That...

      A Question About Rails

      I'm currently building a large carrier style vessel that will have platforms that raise smaller ships out of bays for launch. Given that the smaller ships are around 2K of mass, the platforms are moving very slow. I realize that I need to use mass rail enhancers, but have forgotten where I...

      Something is amiss with my missile system

      I'm currently building a large ship and have outfitted it with a large missile system. I've slaved damage beams to the missile system and explosive effect, too. Everything is balanced for a 100% yield from the slaved modules. The details box informs me that the damage rates above 10 million...

      I thought this was cool

      I'm cruising through the galaxy on one of the servers I play on and notice a ship in the middle of nowhere on my nav screen. I decided to investigate further and it turns out to be one of my ship designs I shared in the community content section. It just struck me as cool that someone else was...

      Docked Power inquiry

      Are there any good tutorials on creating a power module and docking it to a larger vessel? I've hit the 1 million soft cap and am hoping this is a way around that.

      The frustrating thing about Starmade

      Much as I like the game, even in it's alpha stage, I find the servers to be rather frustrating. Not the way they're run or the interaction on them, mind you, but how they'll go offline, permanently. It's happened about five times for me now. After taking the time to locate a server with a...

      Question about scanner antennas

      Is there a specific way to place scanning antennas to increase efficiency, say something similar to placing power reactors? I placed a long line of antennas in my ship, and while I get a message that there is something cloaked in the sector, it tells me the scanning system isn't powerful enough...

      My Heavy Carrier Project

      I've been working on a heavy carrier for the past few weeks. It's no where near done, but here's how it looks at the moment. BTW, that's a small mining vessel on an interior landing bay towards the front of the ship. The picture below shows the interior hangar, which is currently holding...

      Anyone else having this problem?

      You're just going about your day, doing whatever it is that you do. Then, out of the blue, you get an idea for a new spaceship design and find yourself thinking about it for the rest of the day. I'm not sure, but I think it might be Star-Made Syndrome.

      Best Video Card for Starmade

      I find that my desktop is woefully under powered for playing StarMade. Hardly surprising, as it is several years old. As such, I've been wanting to upgrade my system to a more powerful processor and more memory. I will likely go for a 2 GB video card, but am uncertain if I should go for AMD...

      Frame rate problem after new updates

      Has anyone else experienced a frame rate problem after the latest update? For some reason, the frame rate will swing between 1 and 150, going back and forth between the two every few minutes. It didn't do that before the update and I haven't changed my settings, so I tend to think it's...

      Regarding Logic

      I finally started messing around with logic and figured out how to build a system that will undock a drone, open a hangar door and then push the drone outside via a push pulse module. What I haven't been able to do is add the activation block to my weapons bar, thus having a launch drone option...

      This game is addictive

      Apparently the ability to build space ships of any size and form I choose, mining for resources, crafting needed items, and building a space station keeps me coming back for more. I currently find myself building my first large ship and look forward to its completion so I can take it for a test...

      Designing Ships

      Is there a way to build space ships without having to go into the build mode while in the ship core? I'm specifically interested in something where I can lay out all the blocks and then save it to blueprint. That way if the design isn't going as I like, I can move blocks around (including ship...
