And now, the moment no one has been waiting for: My First Submission!!! The Frost Fleet Not nearly as complex or impressive as many of the other submissions, but a very unique style that would be ideal for an NPC alien race

My first Fleet Contest submission: The Frost Fleet Building a set of ships with a Ice/Frost theme is something I've been messing around with for a while; the contest just motivated me to put a little more effort into it. For this submission, I've included two ships: the Frost Corvette and...

I am by no means an expert (or even an amateur) when it comes to custom server settings, but I think it would be possible to set something like this up now, it would just be a little convoluted to set up, and there would have to be a live manager/referee player with admin powers actively running...

I think, all the righteous anger aside, MacThule's basic complaint (correct me if I'm wrong) is: "I've got this giant, awesome, kick-ass war-fleet, but there is nothing to DO with it!" He's built his fighting ships, now he wants to fight someone. But the playerbase is small, so there is no one...

A fair point... but the risk you run is of splitting the player base. Half of everybody runs to the new MOBA mode and now there's not enough people playing either mode. (Saw this happen when Robocraft went MOBA) And then there is the risk/issue of splitting the developers time. Every man-hour...

Will the rack be judged as part of the design/systems/features scores, or just the drones themselves? (aka, Is it worth making the rack pretty?)

Just to offer an alternative opinion... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOT EVERY SINGLE F***ING GAME NEEDS TO BE TURNED INTO A GODDAMNED MOBA!!!!! That is all.

I haven't played much multi-player yet, so I'm not sure I understand this classification system debate, so maybe you guys can clear up my confusion... I mean, when you're on a server about to go into battle, and you lock onto your enemy's ship, the only stats that are displayed are its...

Grats to Mr. Sgtwisky!!! Looking forward to seeing the video! Also, any chance we might see a Carrier someday soon? After all, those award winning drones need a proper home ;P

...in which ViB shows off some ships he's built: So, I don't have a faction or a cool RP backstory or anything like that yet to justify having a "Shipyard," but I like to pretend that I have fans who are actually interested and looking forward to seeing the awesome(ish) ships I've been...

I can't disagree, I just have some speculation to add (because I'm bored and pretending y'all value my opinion). So, the design team for Starmade is basically like one guy and maybe a few of his friends, right? Its entirely possible that he's enjoying making the game as much or more than we...

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Doh! I, like a dumbass, was assuming that slabs were treated as a whole cube for collision detection! This opens up all kinds of possibilities! Thanks everyone for all your help!

That's very impressive! Pretty much exactly what I want to make. Would you be willing to post that turret for download? I can't tell quite how its setup just from the pictures. Good advice, and yours certainly do look good! I've also considered making PD turrets on rails that recess...

Two forward, on the black lines; four aft, in a diamond formation; I can see the exposed cannon barrels, but they are very low profile! And they still have full range of motion? I have tried that, but I have trouble then covering up the hole in the hull while still giving the turret room to...

Okay, so, I'm tired of all my PD turrets looking so ugly on my ships. I mean, seriously, I build a beautiful, sleek look ship, then I strap on the PD turrets and end up with a ship that looks like it has pimples! So I'm looking for some advice. How do you guys make PD turrets that don't look...

Yep, still jealous over here. Your escorts look nicer than any ship I've made yet! That turret is just a little over the top though :P

Noooo! Don't give in to the greeblenauts! Having some sections of smooth, clean hull is NOT automatically a bad thing. Looking at the pic, I'd say your hull already has plenty of depth/variety. If it were me, I'd look into adding some accent lighting; perhaps glowing windows or exhaust ports...

So, I just did a little off-the-cuff experiment with tertiary weapon effects and got some rather unexpected results. And then I took pictures of those results because I figured no one would believe me otherwise. I was slapping together a small sniper beam turret for a ship I've been making and...

Well alright then, it sounds mostly like what I'm hearing is "Don't bother building one." I guess I'll stick to smaller ships then. Thanks for all the responses y'all.

Yes, I know that it is a big ship, but what I would like to know, (without starting another debate on ship classifications) is what sort of stats each of you personally considers to be a titan? And not just in terms of size, but stats as well. How much power cap? e/s? Shields? Thrust? Armor...
