New update out.
Customizable Max Speed.
Seems Wolly's place is getting less populated. Where are all of you playing?

Probably because it isn't updated.
Also, forgot to mention, me and Cosmify are working on a development wiki for StarMade.
Currently adding information about the launcher and client-server protocol.

My first real ship in this game, not very fancy but decent for salvaging :v:

[QUOTE=Solece;40505187]Oh, should they be seperate? I thought they generated more in groups[/QUOTE]
I didn't mean what individual blocks should be separate, just that with the way generators work by basing power regen on the volume of a group of blocks and ignoring wether or not that volume is packed full of cubes, you technically get more power if you leave space between groups of generators.

[del]How do you change the max speed?[/del] You edit it in the server.cfg.
Also, sometimes when I build mode, my camera will rotate around a point that's about 5-20 meters in front of the camera, making building extremely difficult, anyone know why this happens?

You can zoom with your mouse wheel.
It is really weird but it's a nice option to have.

Damn Ninjas.
Do turrets still shred their mothership?
Yes?
Seeya next update!
So I'm new to starmade, and I'm wondering if ships transfer from server to server or if I need to find a good server and stick to it? None of the FP hosted servers are populated right now

They do transfer, you can save and upload on different servers.
My friend made a server, and I can't seem to upload my ships to it properly. It says they upload but they don't show up in the catalog. Anyone know why?

All those designs suck, go with the 4-in-5x5 gen, it produces the most.

Wrong, it produces the same regen. The latter stores more.

I was talking about using generators in the same space, but whatever.
so would a sort of rib design for power generators be efficient, like
X=power block
.=open space
xxxxxxx
x.......x
x.......x
xxxxxxx
and then if I wanted more blocks I just put rings inside of the rings with a space between them right

My ship is nearing 20,000 blocks in size, and it's still not near finished.
Jesus, this is scary how large this thing is. My only problem now is what the hell do I do if a small ship tries to flank me.

You don't need about half of all those blocks for a good regen rate (not counting battery hold).
[editline]2nd May 2013[/editline]
Ribbed designs are not efficient at all.
Since asteroid started spawning around me I decided to test out my weapons
Here's a barrage of missiles I just launched...

Now here's the aftermath. Usually a lot keep going but this time something weird happened
[t]http://puu.sh/2LKTv.jpg[/t]
My ship has 1,621,233 regen and it STILL can't support cloaking. What is this insanity.
Pretty sure it's based on total mass.
How much regen will I need if I have about 6000~ mass?

OI SWEAR ON ME MOM GOING TO HOOK THIS KID WITH A RIGHTY
Cloaking is hugely massively ridiculously expensive.
i just got offended easily
mommy help!!

I still bet it's not as bullshit as shields.
I am in a server right now and I can't upload my ships. They don't appear. When I exited it and checked my ship importer none were there and I can't add any. Did this last update break something?
How do you check shield strength and power output?

After much procrastination and problems building the ring, I've finally finished building my ship.
