Thanks for playing StarMade,
- schema

You are the BEST Schema, and all the SM team ! This game is going to beat Minecraft in the future. I promise!

 

[Byamarro]

Great step forward :D

I'm looking in the future for AI harvesters or some automated minning machines so players will be able to make real space corporations (with a lot of effort of course) :D

There is nothing magic about schema. He's just a talking, typing, coding cat that does wonders with this game

You know this made me think...if we ever have a StarMade convention, and there's a Dev Panel. We should just introduce Schema from backstage, then bring out a cat. lol

Plot twist: Schema is actually the cat.

Salvage to storage is one of those features I never knew I wanted. Really great idea! Keep up the awesome work!

I'm guessing you never tried salvaging every planet, asteroid and station in sight. It takes up a lot of inventory space (too much), so I'm glad it finally got added (it has been suggested before).

Well, you can still pack millions of blocks to your pocket. I think (can't say for you ppl out there) that we need some kind of limitation for storage slots (just like stacks in minecraft), or other way to limit overall amount of blocks you can store.
Just imagine these huge freighters...
(If it's already being disscussed somewhere else, then sorry ;_; correct me please...)

This has not exactly been discussed to death, but it comes pretty darn close. It has been both liked by the community and confirmed by the devs to be added.

oh wow didnt realize that mistake. i fixed it in the news. it should say "cannot be shot by anything but lasers"

sorry for the confusion

Hi, i am a little bit confused as in the last Update video (and even more in the Mushroomfleetvid) it looks very much like cannons do kill missiles...
(lasers!=damage beams?)

 

[starhaiden]

cannons are lasers

 

[NuclearFun]

cannons are lasers

Apparently yes... i always took lasers=beams for granted...

 

[Tacotown99]

Lasers can kill missiles now you can have point deference turrets this only ally's to the AMC though and is not extended to other systems

 

[0ldSkull]

This isn't helping. Do we actually have a ship weapon called "lasers" in the game now? If not, can we please stop using the word "lasers" to describe this feature and instead use the in-game name of the applicable weapon? (There is the personal hand-held laser gun, but it seems rather suicidal to try to shoot down missiles with it.)

 

[FunnyBunny14]

People say lasers when they mean damage beams. That is the case now in this thread.

 

[Crimson-Artist]

i started adding damage beams to all of my ships since schema said that beams will be able to shoot down missiles. so far that doesn't seem to be the case

it would appear the confusion from earlier still remains

 

[Tacotown99]

Sorry crimson but in his post he says that cannons shoot down missiles not beams as I said above. This was to make cannons useful once again.

 

[NuclearFun]

i just tested in the latest def build damage beam turrets vs cannon turrets, both in shoot at missiles setting: both aim and shoot at those missiles but only the cannons succeeded to destroy them.
...a sad thing as those beams look just awesome when they focus on a missile

 

[Unnamed25]

So you only have to shoot missiles once to destroy them?
now missiles simply suck

 

[Lecic]

I think beams should be the anti-missile weapon. They feel a little lack-luster compared to cannons, and they could use a bonus.

[Ithirahad]

Yeah; IMO long-cooldown (e.g. hulk) missiles should have some form of health, or at least a flat number of hits (regardless of damage) before they die... Sure, I understand that the point is that small turrets and small weapons in general now have another use (And fighters now have more reason to exist to neutralize said turrets, though cruiser-sized weapons are usually better for that anyway >.>) but this just kinda... sucks.

 

[Malacodor]

Sorry crimson but in his post he says that cannons shoot down missiles not beams as I said above. This was to make cannons useful once again.

No he said lasers, and cannons can't be lasers due to low projectile speed. So it's clearly Schema's fault.
