      How do you build?

      I don't really build ships, I build factions. I start from an idea of a faction. What is it's philosophy? Defining characteristics? This general concept informs the design, strategic role, tactics, and aesthetics of the builds. I generally build similar-sized ships from a "blank slate" build...

      Can't start the game (some weird Java problem)

      Thank you, everyone, for your assistance. I did get the problem resolved, but it was by doing a fresh install of Windows. I used to do that every year or two, and it had been about four years, so it was way overdue anyway. I had looked into all the security settings, to no avail. It had to...

      Can't start the game (some weird Java problem)

      Well, I uninstalled Steam and restarted. It still doesn't work but it is doing something different. Instead of doing nothing at all, I get the window that says: "Do you want to let this unknown publisher make changes to your computer?" I click "Yes," then it does nothing. I tried different...

      Can't start the game (some weird Java problem)

      I've done that a few times, actually. And I do currently have it extracted to C:\Starmade Here is what it looks like: When I double click, or right click and try to run the starmade-launcher, nothing happens. It's like it didn't even recognize that a command was given. I did notice, though...

      Can't start the game (some weird Java problem)

      I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out the problem. The old starter won't start the game, the new launcher won't even load.

      Rails losing connection to buttons. Am I doing something wrong?

      It's been a while since I've played, so there may be a change here I don't know about, a weird bug, or I just don't remember how it works. I am trying to change pickup rails for a docking / launch system. I have one button with a pickup rail next to it and one button with a launch rail next to...
