      StarMade dev news #2

      At first I read it as animals cruelty... Now I wish that the models can be torn appart so that we can do actual animal cruelty. :D Getting on a random planet and abducting the equivalent of their cows to probe and experiment on, I want to be the alien the galaxy needs, not the one it deserves!

      StarMade dev update: why spherical planets don't fit in a block world

      This to me is the best solution, and actually the easiest to implement. The loading code exists already in the form of teh sector boundaries. The image barrier exists already in the form of the current planets atmosphere Flat world generation is already existing for the current planets and is a...

      StarMade dev update: why spherical planets don't fit in a block world

      I realise I could have explained it in a clearer way: - Keep planets flat but make them much much much larger. - Have a spherical texture for a planet\'s atmosphere that serve as boundaries for a \"sector\". - Once crossing that sector limit, just calculate where it would be on the flat surface...

      StarMade dev update: why spherical planets don't fit in a block world

      You could simply use a combinaison of the sector code and the image swapping trick you already use on planets. Let me explain: You make planets very large amount of chunks, not real sized, but decently sized and show them as spherical from the distance with the image trick you already have...

      Vector analysis of tactical situations in StarMade

      Due to power scaling of weapons, even before the last shield patch, an equal amount of blocks divided in smaller ships would rape a larger sinlge ship. The problem is that there is a binary condition in the form of combined dps vs shield regen. Ideally, it should be linear but in essence, it\'s...

      Making repairing more useful.

      This is a great technical way of implementing automated astrotechnobeam turrets repair systems without having cores remember their blueprints. I support this and hope to see something aimed at similar goels implemented some time. :)

      Advanced Inventory System ideas

      Yes please. I suggested somethign similar, or at least inspired by the same source, and it would be great to have the need for cargo holds and cargo ships. To add to the discussion, I\'d like to have a notion of mass included as well. Items have a mass and stack size limits. Players and...

      A simple and effective method for traversing between decks on large ships

      I support the idea of ladders for free movements, but I\'d like plex lifters to be upgraded as energy using movement dealing with all directions. A bit like Star Trek\'s Trubolifts. Ideally, Plex Lifters should be placeable with an orientation to travel up/down/left/right/forward/backwards...

      Fighting Gigantism in Starmade

      What you suggest now may sound convenient, but it trivialize ship access. Shops abilities need to be reduced, or even removed. Why woudl you need to have spare parts or repair beams if you can just go at a shop sell/rebuy or repair? Changing ships should be at a cost in components and/or time...

      Vector analysis of tactical situations in StarMade

      Just lengthening reload proportionally to power would increase the skill ceiling of flying larger ships, which is desirable. Small ships can then have fast shooting weaposn and have an easier time maintaining constant damage, even if it is low DPS. Also, I\'m sort of campaigning for that idea...

      StarMade: Game News

      Just add the \"only game owners\" limitation as soon as you can spare the time. As long as it remains a choice, it\'s the best way server owners can support the game beyond buying it themselves. :)

      Fighting Gigantism in Starmade

      Well there are the astro technician beams already implemented. They can repair blocks that have been damaged. Alongside hull, right now it\'s a useless feature. Add limited damages on blocks trough shield deficiency, and they would have a job. For detroyed blocks, if ships cores could remember...

      Fighting Gigantism in Starmade

      To be honest, I had a full wall of text that went nearly completely un answered that I believe would fix that problem. http://www.reddit.com/r/Starmade/comments/1hish6/suggestion_quality_of_life_tweaks_and_balancing/ Generally speaking, missiles should be \"shield breakers\", but should have a...

      Fighting Gigantism in Starmade

      Well that\'s not true. Small ships with mroe players rape large ships with only one player. It did before and even more after the latest patch. Two well played 2000 blocks ship can take a 20 000 block ship appart very easily. Especially if they perma jam. The problem is the binary aspect of...

      StarMade 0.09378: Fixes, shield balance & new admin tools

      This may have been an over nerf. We\'ll need to see how it plays out, we\'ll test it as much as possible on our server. I personaly was more of a proponent of having shields not be 100% effective but let trough some damage to buff hull and hardened hulls at the same time than smaller ships that...

      Awesome! Keep up the great work. :) By the way, did you find any solutions for the colision lag of large ships?

      Radar Jammer Bug

      Okay, with more than one cloacker or jammer, it doesn\'t even activate anymore. With only one module, I can keep either permanent cloaking OR permanent jamming, but not both at the same time. With a slightly smaller ship (402.3 mass) now I coudl get both permanently. Also, another thing I...

      Radar Jammer Bug

      I have the same problem. But it may not be a bug but a mechanic? I could get them to both perma work, and then I increased the size of my ship (with enough power blocks). And now can\'t maintain both cloaking or jamming at the same time, only one of them. Maybe there is an amount of blocks...

      Is there any way to stop my faction mates from grabbing my ships?

      The solution here is pretty simple though: Don\'t join a faction you can\'t trust.

      Factioned Ship door protection?

      The faction block does protect you from opening plex doors if you\'re not in the same faction. Tried it with the two latest builds (not the current though) It even prevents docking beams from opening plex doors if the ship isn\'t of the same faction.
