      Need a little help with Rail/Logic for a flight deck

      I finally got around to trying my hand at a carrier, and I'm having a little trouble getting the logic and rails down for a flight deck. I'm trying to set up a single rail path that will hold six fighters without relying on collision checks. I want to use a flip-flop module to toggle between a...

      Systems Disconnected Error

      I mentioned this bug in a post a few weeks ago, but it had not happened again until just now. I was jumping around in a modified Phobos battleship killing pirate stations on GenXNova just now. Now being 9/20/2017 1:50 AM Central with that timestamp I hope you can get the server side logs. I was...

      Technobabble for fun and profit!!

      A light hearted topic here, what kind of cool techy-science-engineering-nonsense do you call different systems or weapon combinations in game? Do you have some kind of nomenclature when you're writing up descriptions for ship? For example I've come up with some and use of the following Current...

      Are Beams and 100% Explosive Non-Missiles Good Now?

      I just wanted to know if anyone has gotten any testing in with the new weapon changes. I did just finish watching Yamato 2199 and I really want to build some ginormous beam turrets......

      First PVP duels and thoughts on ship doctrine

      I just fought my first few PVP duels and I'm not going to be able to go to sleep without first putting them down here :-p I was dueling one of the Admins on the GenXNova server and getting in some live fire practice and testing on my refit of The Harvest of Fire. What made the duels so...

      Public Permission Modules on Stations?

      I'm working on a potential future home base that I would like to turn into a public trading hub, what is the trick to attach public permission modules to docking points? I can't seem to attach the rail to the permission module nor the permission module to the rail.

      Loadout for a smaller (460k blocks) capital ship?

      I have a very pretty light cruiser that is underperforming versus the slightly improved pirates and pirate stations on the GenXNova server. Part of the problem is this is the first ship I've built larger than an escort and evidently I have no idea how to equip ships on this scale :whistle:. She...

      Weapon drills on smaller ships?

      I had a crazy idea at work tonight, and I was wondering if I'm just tired and a little cracked or if this might actually work. I want to build a fast attack gun corvette/frigate as my next project (something that will hopefully only take a week or two and NOT six months :-p), and I was...

      How do I add thumbnails to Community Content?

      Dumb question, but I can't seem to find a clicky-thingy or texty-thingy to add thumbnails to the title line of my ships in community content. It'd be greatly appreciated if someone could explain to me where and what I'm obviously missing :P Technomancy hard! Me no understand! Gonna find some...

      How do you make AMS turrets look good?

      How do you make AMS turrets sexy? Is that even possible? I'm trying to upgrade the AMS array on my current WIP ship to twin barreled turrets, and I'm having a hell of a time making them look good. I can nail functional, no problem, I just can't them to look decent. Hmm, Has anyone made a quad...

      Hull Material and Thickness?

      What do people use for the basic hull/spaceframe of ships and how thick do you lay it on? And more specifically, I'm starting work on my next ship which will be a large heavy cruiser/drone assault carrier based on the Battlefleet Gothic Dictator Shell Encoded put on the docks a while ago. The...

      Any Survival Server Recommendations?

      Does anyone have any recommendations for a good survival server to join? A place with a friendly community, a lack of griefing, dangerous pirates, and a mining bonus would be nice. I'm far more interested in PVE then PVP as my gaming time is pretty limited and I know how badly I'd be squashed...

      Crashing in Build Mode

      I'm playing on the NDS build server, and everything has been running smoothly for weeks, but now if I try to place blocks in build mode I can only place a few dozen blocks before my computer crashes and turns off. This is the same problem I've been having since the trade system update in...

      How many docked entities is too many?

      I've been having a lot of stability issues with Starmade since the Trade system update. I suspect my biggest problem is lack of RAM, I'm running SM on 2GB out of the 8GB my computers has. Oddly enough letting SM have 4 GB makes things worse, I think windows objects to giving half the RAM to one...

      I downloaded the sment files for all the contest winners, but when I load up the blueprint tool from the main menu the import button doesn't seem to work once I browse over to my download file. Is there a limit to the number of blueprints I can have saved? Thanks in advance.

      World doesn't load?

      Last night I was having some trouble with Starmade crashing last night around midnight, and after the last crash, when I try to load my primary single player universe, it hangs on the initializing universe part of the load screen. I started a new world, and that one loads just fine. To be...

      A Request for Turret Advice

      I want to build a light cruiser with a crazy number of turrets (40+) divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary batteries. Essentially, I want to build the Starmade equivalent of an American WW2 light or heavy cruiser. Part of why I want to do this, is because I have a hard time building...
