[1.] Explain how a serch box is difficult. It even gives you a tech tree. Also, in the tutorial they step you through it. Your not making a mega ship of anything(I think it's thrusters and power blocks?) but it shows you how.
I hate when I do this, but you should read my signature
There was a time when there were 1500 people on the website at almost any given time during the day. Back when the StarMade servers website first launched, the first couple pages were all averaging 10 or more players.
I'm always very suspicious of players who claim to have been around a long time, yet have new accounts.
This... literally already exists? It's a community problem that there aren't any servers running it.
False. GenXNova and Shattered Skies are both popular PvP servers.
You say this as if designing ships in the old days wasn't complex, too. The game's just complex in different ways now. What do you think is harder to understand- the master/slave/effect system, or the waffleboard meta? SHP or coring? Rail docking or boxdim docking? Sure, there's things like passive effects and logic systems, but those aren't needed for a person's first ship, when they're just learning the game.
Because the community shrunk during down times in development. People got bored, left, and never came back. Old meta was not instant PvP, no more than the current game, and if you think it was, your perceptions are being twisted by nostalgia.
Starmadepedia is not very outdated. It has some problems, but it's mostly accurate. If you see a problem in an article or an article is missing, stop whining about it and fix it.
To be honest, I kind of liked the randomness of the recipes before cubatom. It made no sense, but it was a fun gimmick, IMO at least.
yes random recipes is kind of fun when you try to gamble out the best recipe
. But cubatom system is just pure pain
I love building, fighting and then building again better designs after fights, or build complex logic system to make password autodestruct etc
Seems really current until you try to use it for something like weapons and effects. It's quite frustrating to have to tell people that the wiki is horribly outdated and useless in some regards and need to personally explain punch and pierce again and again.
And thats why you are playing a voxel game instead of Contra. Because the game has to be specifically built around building for you to have that kind of options. Which means if you don't like building, you don't want to play voxel games.
Its not. But you know what it is? An Alpha. Alpha means major features are still being added.
Sure... One problem, though, the game doesn't currently support combat beyond 'arcade mode.' Nobody wants to sacrifice blocks that they spent hours grinding rocks for, for no gain. The old, 'broken' economy was superior because combat was low-risk and low-to-no-reward. Now it's high risk and low-to-no-reward unless you're attacking a cargo ship, and why would anyone need to carry a large volume of cargo anyways? The end result being that nobody fights unless they are 1, an asshole, and 2, certain that they will be able to get rid of their enemy with minimal or no damage to themself.
Unless what you're saying is a really, really horrible idea. Then society tends to jump on your bandwagon faster than you know what happened.
