STARMADE V0.19590 - FLEETS AND CARRIERS

[Keptick]

And what ? Why would I need AI fleet on Build Server ?

Well, your argument was that it could only be used on servers with 100+ people (making it sound like ships in a fleet can only be controlled by players). Someone can use fleets just as well in single player since the fleet ships are controlled by the computer.

Also, you didn't specify that you play on a build server. In that case then 80% of the game is useless for you. Basically, fleets are an awesome feature for people that actually use ships (and don't just build them), that being the majority of players.

If you do any kind of interaction with the game beyond building, including pve things like pirate hunting, it's useful due to the simple mathematical value of two ships being better than one. Once more functionality is added this will only get truer.

Of course if you only stick on creative mode and build things this won't affect you, but that goes for the majority of the game.

Hmm. There's an update already for this update. v19592

 

[TheWurm]

It is nice thing

But still it is not useful
Unless you are on 100+ player server,and have 80 ships XDD
For noobs like me,it is good for nothing

The new blocks make a lot of interesting options available for moving parts as well as simplifying magnetic docking immensely. If you've ever wanted to add animation to your builds, this is a useful update.

Agreed!

The new rail blocks have helped me fix an issue with my turbo lift system cutting through floors.
All I need now is rail rotators to do the same.
These would also make mechanical mechs more practical.

I like to gather resources (Matthise,Jisper...), build ships,stations,rail and logic systems... I were never much for fighting the pirates,and because of that,it is useless for me... maybe after some time.

Be patient, fleets will one day be used for mining, I guarantee it.

 

[Lone_Puppy]

Hmm. I thought my fleet continued after I logged off the server, but I was mistaken. I think because it was a short distance it seemed like it happened, but in reality the fleet goes idle when you disconnect. :-(

Fleet controls are great! just one problem

the AI

we need a way to pick what we want the ships to attack like a RTS-like map or something i tryed attacking a pirate station and my fleet stopped attacking the station and attacked the fighters

 

[Liberatorcraft]

Yes! Its out! Also as some people are concerned about bugs i have one for you! When I was playing on a Server and I was working on my station in the same Sector as a Shop and suddenly all of my core ships that are lying all around the Sector started to form a fleet some how! They didn't have faction modules on them and they started to fly around and then assemble in the same spot they started! But any way I'm glad the update is out!

Factionlocked fleets are not the default setting. Did someone else take control of your core ships?

No I don't think so... There was a Friendly Signal in my system when it happened. Maybe they where playing tricks on me. But I joined today again and there is not a core ship is Sight! All gone! Weird.

Could we get a bit more information on this one please?

Are you still experiencing this? Are you using any custom textures or effects? Are you in deep void space or the tutorial sector? Do you have emissive maps on or off? Have you tried redownloading the game or deleting the texture and repairing to fix corruptions? Are shadows enabled?(starmade/data/models/gear/HealingBeam/)




Any custom textures / server side texture packs? Do you have emissive / normal maps enabled? What graphics card do you have? Have you tried redownloading the textures to check for corruptions? is this still happening? Have you tried the Pixel pack?

Have you checked the textures themselves to see if they are present? (starmade/data/textures/block/default/256/t002.png)

This is a strange bug which we can't quite explain yet, any more information you can give would help us to try and fix this for you.
Thanks.

So many questions :D ill try to anwer as many as possible when I can.

Thanks alot for your concerns

Anyone know? Maybe it wasn't a bug but there could be some nasty bugs out there waiting to be attended to.

This sounds like someone stole your ships, instead of a bug.

I believe the Beta version launcher doesn't download starmade properly.
Reason: When I downloaded the latest release version with the beta version and run it with the launcher starmade crashed at 94%
When I used the old launcher and connect it the same starmade file, it said that it wasn't the latest version, so I updated it and than launched with that launcher, starmade worked. So I think the Beta launcher doesn't work with the latest release version.

Seems to be working fine for me with the beta launcher. Perhaps your installation was corrupted in the update process, I suggest you try updating the game again with the beta launcher.

I'll have to try this, I was crashing during launch with the hotfix so I went back to .1959, I'll check to see if the old launcher works

-Edit-
Yeah no problem downloading with the old launcher. The Beta launcher still thinks I am on .19590 though and not .19592 but it launches and does load .19592

 

[Rixxan]

I have no issues with the beta launcher through steam, but that's just me.
