galaxy

Reposting some suggestions I made some time ago in the Discussion with the devs thread, to bring its points into better visibility, cause I wouldn't want this aspect of the forthcoming Universe Update to be any less awesome than it could be ;) So here are a few suggestions (or speculations of...

So this is based on some real science, presumably, because I saw it on the science channel, right? Anyway, there is such a thing as as dwarf galaxies. Compared to the milky way, which contains billions of stars and has a spiral shape, these are pretty formless clusters of a few hundred thousand...

Suggestion: Make planets and asteroid belts more rare. Still have some systems that are very rich, but make most systems very poor or even mostly empty, and have a spectrum in between those. Reasons: Makes extensive exploration a prerequisite to industrial activity (thus making exploration...

In my opinions, one of the things open world, sandbox space sims do badly, often, is making otherwise interesting things far too abundant to continue to be interesting, and i sincerely hope this doesnt continue to be the case for Starmade in the future. I say continue, because from day 1 i...

I know this one has been around several times before, but with Beta Galaxy coming around soon-ish, I think it's time to revisit. Idon't actually like starting players out with a ton of random components and $50k in their pockets. It's a hassle, but honestly it's no harder to survive than when...

If Schine releases the new Galaxy 2.0 before doing work on stations, they could be ensuring that they spend the next 6 months chasing down gameplay issues that seem to be related to the galaxy but are actually rooted in problems with stations. This is because stations (including actual stations...

Void Sectors in between stars so, in starmade, the current design in-game on star system design looks like this: (use imagination, the green lines represent system edges) as you can see, each star is in a uniform, grid like design. However, it would be better if it was like this: as you can...

I'm not sure the algorithm being used for wormholes, but every galaxy having only one unified wormhole highway is not the best possible. If it's not a major modification, it would be nice to see maybe one small wormhole highway and a percentage of 2-point wormholes as well that are simply a...

Everyone loves more options, and it's never hurt anyone, right? Here's a few options I'd like to see added to the server.cfg GALAXY_SIZE_MEAN = Galaxy size mean (in sectors) (min [INSERT NUMBER HERE]) GALAXY_SIZE_DEVIATION = Galaxy size standard deviation (in sectors)...

I was driving home and pondering what kind of event might bring together a whole server. Rip it to shreads and hope it inspires some great late gameplay options. A quick overview: There should be a way to have your NPC citizens do archelogical digs. Almost like research, but specifically having...

One thing that's always bothered me about galaxies is that everything seems so square. Take this picture for instance, the stars seem to line up in rows: Outside of the general shape, there is no galactic geography, no chokepoints or clusters. In short, every star within the galaxy looks...

Hi, new player here. almost done with my first legit ship. Over the past month or two I've been trying to learn the game before I join a server. One thing I haven't been able to understand is the map. Everything I've seen online, videos and pictures look like this: but all I see is: I don't...

Update 09SEP15: It's got working 10 working Phasors turrets (Total size each=9000 blocks Beam,Cannon 75% ,Overdrive 100%) They pack quite a punch when they don't miss. I'm working on Cannon,Cannon,Overdrive now to improve hit rate. *********************************End...
