They beat ya to the punch scheme.. T.T

Star made and space engineers are two very different games. They focus on many different mechanics, and starmade is also very far in the future compared to space engineers. If anything, space engineers is good competition for starmade, not some game that is going to crush starmade into pieces.

SE is way crappier then Starmade.

 

[Imperial_Gold]

The people that made SE is known for not finishing games and not listening to player requests. So it may just end up a \"half-make-a-game-then-call-it-finished-because-there-is-nothing-you-can-do-to-say-it-isnt\" deals. Besides, SE won\'t have shields or other really space-agey weapons.

 

[jzimmerman4]

Both games may seem simular at first but SE is all about realistic space fighting while Starmade is every Sci-fi minecraft players dream.

space engineers doesn\'t really do AI in its ships, and the ship size handling is a lot smaller than starmade. it costs money also to play in alpha, which starmade doesnt, and the company its made by has a bad track record.

I\'ve bought space engineers a few months ago, played it for two weeks and didn\'t log back ever since.

It has literally nothing to do so far. It has no AI factions, no economy, no progression - take any blocks, build things and crash them. That\'s about everything you can do,

I like rotors in that game though. I hope they\'ll be implemented in this game some day but I doubt it.
It\'s fun to create atificial gravity rings.

tl;dr:
Games are different and shouldn\'t compete.

Space Engineers gives me headaches lol

 

[MrFURB]

Space Engineers is an awesome idea, and what features they have put out are all very cool. They\'ve proven that they have the capability of putting out a great product, what remains to be seen is if they are going to mature their product from tech demo status into an actual game.

I\'m more interested in what\'s going on with Blockade Runner lately, and I look forward to it\'s continued developement.

Another nub who just found out there are more space-cubic games, grats ^^

No, the world won\'t end for every space cubic style game you find.

Space engineers is in very early development. Judging it now would be like saying Minecraft was crap back when it was in classic and just making a review on it there.

Starmade is much further along in the process, so it\'s clearly better for now.

 

[mindlord0013]

I\'m of the opinion that Space Engineers have unreliable devs. They have better physics, and better graphics (at the moment, not counting Starmade\'s dev builds). But Starmade is superior in almost every other way.

I find it insultig that you think Starmade is in any way an inferior product (as a whole) compared to Space Engineers. And this is shown through the devs of the respective games and the communities.

i find both game fun to play SE has slower but more game changeling updates

starmade have more bugfixs and other small updates both have multiplayer now and now you can have some pretty neat dogfights SM you can build ships that defy physics and SE you can\'t but some of the ships you can build are quite amazing i think both of the game are fun.

[Planr]

lol what? no they didnt. ugh. another one of those ignorant posts about space engineers.

what you fail to realize is that space engineers has barely any content and its easy to get very bored within a couple of hours of gameplay. many of my friends have bought this game and personally told me this. not to mention they are charging like $20 just for pre-access to the game. really overpriced.

They\'ve already got my moneis!

 

[NeonSturm]

I just miss small blocks and blocks wich have a special player-interaction.



Rotors are fun, but damaging everything that is rotated too fast against a wall or have to find everything between all those lamps and other stuff in your configuration tab is annoying.



I think the only thing StarMade could do better is:

• Economy balance, less cluttered shop menus (automatically generated recipies, cubatom costs and prices for more items editable at once, setup of different currencies..) - I have some example-suggestions here.
• Weapon vs shield or scissors, rock, paper balance
• More block-synergy
  
  blocks which can only get placed together / on defined other blocks to create more complex \"tetris\"-objects
• combinations of items in build mode like color+texture+function

[*]^ something to make hull and interior usefull (less weight for deko and cheapest hull could just be a one-side painted block with few weight...)
[*]Wedges, Corners and such used on asteroids - auto-rotation and smooth replacement/salvage for a nice look.


I think if that happens, Space Enginners would have absolutely nothing which is better.

StarMade is clearly superior to the current stage of SE

This game can\'t compete with StarMade.

It has no voxels!!! You play with pre-designed or auto-generated ships.

no ai for space engineers so the npc that can use personalized ship and a lot of other things (i espect starmade to become x with block).

So they are 2 completely different games, and my vote go to starmade.

The devs behind SE are well known for having promised things concerning their previous title, taken the money of players based on these promises, and then just dropped development and called the game finished.

SE might be a great concept, but the devs don\'t deserve to be able to make any more money in the game dev. field.
