Hey, so it's been... what... a year? Something like that! Anyway, a handful of you folks might remember my Logic Core with the programmable Chain Warp drive. Well, I worked for weeks on upgrading that shipboard computer, but before I ever got it uploaded my computer burned out. So I went from...

Right! So as many here have stated, building ships right now seems like risky business since we don't know what the new power system will require us to change. That said, I have PLENTY of projects that can still move forward. (This is why modular building is AWESOME.) In particular, I'm having...

BOOM Well folks, you asked for it, and there it is. A logic module that can fulfill the logic needs of your ships while granting you access to an advanced chain warp drive. A drive which, by the way, you can charge (WITHOUT BEING DOCKED) with no fear of taking off, AND which you can pre-program...

Recently, I have started encountering a serious issue with Starmade that is making it nearly impossible to accomplish anything. At LEAST once per day, I have to create an entirely new world and import my current project via blueprint because Starmade decides it can no longer open my previous...

So I spend an inordinate amount of my time pondering what interesting new things I can design in Starmade, and one thought just came to mind that I thought might be worth putting out there among our builders. Logic powered tutorials. Imagine this: You download a new mining ship from the dock...

So I'm playing around with a fun new idea. The roughest part about Chain Drives is that if you're not paying close attention, you can easily end up overshooting your target. Well, what if there was a way to set up your Chain Drive to take you to your destination of choice, and then STOP, even...

Randomly, and for no apparent reason, Starmade has decided that it will start up fine, but then just randomly crash within about 2 minutes. Nothing has changed, no settings, no drivers, nothing. It worked this morning and now it just refuses to run and I cannot fathom why. I've even reinstalled...

What kind of functions and capabilities do you like your mining vessels to have? Huge haulers for scraping planets? Smaller, more maneuverable ships for eating asteroid belts? Giant carriers with mining drones? How do YOU do Salvage?

I remember reading that wireless signals could reach anywhere in the same sector. However, I'm not sure how this would work if the object sending the signal was currently unloaded. (Which I believe could be the case, even if you are in the same major sector of space, yes?) Does anyone have...

So I'm running into an odd issue with one of my larger mining ships suddenly salvaging much more slowly than it seems it should. I had read that Salvage/Pulse was a great way to quickly plow through asteroids, and that it was most efficient to arrange them in 9x1x1 blocks. Is this no longer...

So I've recently started putting all of my skills and know-how so far into designing an advanced mining ship. Specifically, one that's fully "logiced" up and user-friendly. It's still a work in process, but when it's done I intend to make it my first upload to the Dock here. I always enjoy...

We're playing in a setting with AI. There's so many more places one could go with that idea. So, since I'm a giant NERD and logic is fun to play with, I decided to see if I could create a responsive computer terminal to be used aboard a ship. It's surprisingly easy to do, though it's not...

So I'm currently working on a modular mining vessel. (With a thread title like that, who would have guessed!?) My idea of modularity is less about easy construction or "Lego ships" and more about user friendly adaptability. Prefer Salvage with Cannon slaves? Blueprint and install the SC...

I've been trying to build a kind of "parking break" that will allow me to safely charge my chain drive without worrying about taking off. The (seemingly) simple answer I came up with was a docking lever. A 3 block entity that, when triggered via logic, will undock from your ship and get pushed...

Hey everybody! So I've been tinkering again, and I'm not sure if what I've discovered is something new or if I'm just behind the times. (The latter seems more likely. XD) I have been reading up on Chain Drives and how they work. (And was quite frustrated when the push rail engine didn't work...

Hi everybody! I'm a long time lurker here, but this is my first time actually posting anything. I've been contemplating modular ships, and the issues with shielding that they present. The idea I had, which I plan to test out later today, is creating docked shield modules that make use of the...
