      Does Santa Claus run his sleigh through the Starmade Universe?

      I'd like to know. So I can set up weapons on my station to shoot him down. This way I can prove to all those skepticals that he really does exist! Oh... and what weaponry would you recommend for this job? :)

      By the Creator, it's full of star!

      Well... not literally, but I wondered what that huge globe was on the map was. Out of curiosity, I took my newly built ship over there to find out. And... well... So... if I approach any of the orbits in this system, will I end up fried? What's the range at which I can even approach this...

      Okay... this game makes my FX 8350 run hot!

      I only just noticed after AMD Overdrive then viewing it while playing Starmade. Not only is my CPU in its boost clock mode (looked like 4.2 GHZ), but its thermal threshold was over by -6 to -10 degrees celsius. Are there any settings I can fiddle with to cut down on my CPU's workload or is...

      Any tips on how to be organized?

      Ugh. Every time I want to build a station or base, I have stuff EVERYWHERE. Basically throw everything into one container. Or if I try using multiple containment areas I lose track of where I put anything when I need it. And my construction goes in all sorts of places (like a sprawling...

      I had no idea Windows 8.1 and 10 version of Starmade were different...

      So I've had enough of the errors I've been getting in Windows 10. The "IRQ Less Or Equal" and "System Exception Error" BSODs have so far only occured while playing in Windows 10 (under Steam). Windows 8.1 hasn't given me problems yet, so I'm reinstalling Steam and Starmade. I didn't think...

      What ship would you build while listening to "We Didn't Start The Fire"?

      I'm just curious. I myself would attempt to build a futuristic version of Old Ironsides (the actual USS Constitution) as that ship has been around for a LONG time and would tell us of all it's seen if it were sentient (maybe it is?). So what ship would you build after listening to the song...

      How long do pirate attacks last (if they even go away)?

      I've lost my tenth savegame so far. This is due to pirates spawning close to the shop I spawn at. Sometimes it's when I'm building the ship. Other times it's right when I spawn. You'd think staying inside the shop would keep you safe, but they can somehow shoot through the glass and into...

      Is it possible to put one turret on top of another?

      Once I've learned how to put blocks together well enough I will build a gigantic statue of Miku Hatsune... or maybe some other Japanese anime/pop culture figure (maybe the "superheroine" Blue Snow?). The plan is for the standing platform, legs and lower body to be the turret body, the abdomen...

      How much would the MSI Radeon RX 480 4GB impact my game performance?

      At the moment I'm running an R7 240 (the Gigabyte 2GB Overclock version). When planets load up in my game my frame rates slows to a crawl... and sometimes it's in SPF (Seconds per Frame instead of FPS (Frames per Second). Not related to Starmade I went and ordered the MSI RX 480 (4 gigabyte...

      How many types of derelict stations are there?

      I like exploring the things. All of them have a creepy vibe to them. Too bad I never get to find out what happened to their crews. Maybe logbooks that could be read without picking them up would help? Or terminals in personal living quarters detailing the lives of the crew? I dunno. It's...

      High Grade Asteroids (and the dangers of mining one)

      I was playing Galaxy on Fire 2 and came up with this idea while doing some space mining. How about high grade asteroids? These asteroids would be extremely rare where they occur, and they would have cores in them. The blocks these things are made of should be incredibly hard to mine. I...

      Any crazy build ideas for the future?

      After seeing a Japanese Starmade tutorial from Gmodism on Youtube I think I might try one build to MAYBE attract Japanese players to this game (I have yet to see any actual Japanese gameplay of Starmade). Maybe make a space station with a very large docking ring for ships to park at. At the...

      Where do you put the pilot seat on a mining ship?

      Just curious after seeing a lot of mining ship designs. Some place them on top, often on the center or rear dorsal section of the ship. Lately I've been placing them on either the port or starboard side of the ship. I create a very basic ship then add a salvage beam section to either side...

      Any tips on how to build space stations or asteroid bases?

      I've been finding the experience of building a planet base to be... kinda daunting. I figure a space/asteroid station would be more so. So I'd like advice on how to build them like... How should I organize my build? Which facilities are important to a functioning personal base? Should I...

      A giant robot in Starmade?

      Just one of my "crazy" ideas now that I've seen the docking system at work and how they're used in building turrets. I'm sure it would be awkward to implement, but would it be possible to dock five or six ships together to create a large humanoid entity and still be capable of combat? I do...

      Are there any plans on making lava or water blocks "flow"?

      I felt I need to ask because I used some lava blocks as a natural light source while claiming a Mars-like world as my homeworld. I do like how the whole thing looks, but if there's even a small chance that making them flow will happen I will have to replace the blocks ASAP... [/spoiler]

      What's a good way to make thirteen billion credits?

      I'm pretty new to this game (purchased it on the 25th on Steam to help support its development). After a lot of bad starts due to pirates showing up the moment I put down ship core I'm finally moving forward. Just yesterday I found my first derelict station.... I remember reading that I can...
