Starmade V3 - You cannot attach thrusters to planets. - Games

I don't think they should go for the 'low resolution minecraft look' I want to make beautiful ships and travel to pretty planets.

[QUOTE=The Jack;40593951]I don't think they should go for the 'low resolution minecraft look' I want to make beautiful ships and travel to pretty planets.[/QUOTE] The textures can always be changed, but it'll still be block based. Beautiful ships are already possible though.

I [I]just[/I] downloaded it,it's now loading stuff for SP. I'm going to faff about in singleplayer to learn the ropes,and probably someday come to the FP server thing. This game seems really cool :) Edit: what's with the mouse? It sometimes freezes in place...

anyone know anything about my desync issue?

[img]http://i39.tinypic.com/2gv7rqf.png[/img] The generator room takes shape. There are rows and rows of single spaced generators desperately trying to fill the maximum bounding box in single block rows. I really hope that's still the old formula. Power tanks will cover the rest, and give off a nice enough glow. :v:

Okay, I kinda like the new textures admittedly. Also, I am currently near a space station that PrivateNomad made and ship, so I thought I would take a picture of the ship as it is, for an idea of scale. [IMG]http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/5702/c55d6df79cc44669b8ec8c3.png[/IMG]

Right, I made a dock and it says I can't dock with it because it's blocked yet NOTHING is in the way. Not a single thing. I've tried everything and it's PISSING ME OFF. Anyone know why it's doing this? [editline]10th May 2013[/editline] Image of said bullshit [t]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/33590starmade-screenshot-0002.png[/t]

Ok, so I remade it all so it doesn't do that. Now it doesn't simply dock. It doesn't say anything like it's blocked. Just nothing happens. Not even a "block not compatible" notice [editline]10th May 2013[/editline] image of more bullshit. [t]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/399starmade-screenshot-0005.png[/t]

Recharge mechanics just got changed...

We could realy use some wedge/corner lights.

[QUOTE=The Jack;40597793]Could do with some wedge pieces to smooth it out. And i've just realised... We could realy use some wedge/corner lights.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I plan on getting some wedge pieces on it, but I'm doing the main hull bits first, before that.

Hmm, the new power system is interesting. [img]http://i.imgur.com/AwKvMK7.png[/img] If I'm reading this right, then the most efficient generator you can make has about 5,000 recharge blocks in it. [editline]10th May 2013[/editline] Schema also said that he plans to make the recharge curve completely customizable in the future for each server, now that's pretty fucking cool.

If I'm reading it correctly myself, it would also not be a bounding box, but rather the space between the furthest away blocks in each axis of the generator...All generator blocks must be touching as well though. So would a plus shape be significantly more efficient than a square shape?

[QUOTE=helpiminabox;40597951]If I'm reading your post correctly you just pretty much described what the bounding box already uses.[/QUOTE] I'm very bad at explaining things, sorry. [editline]10th May 2013[/editline] I guess what I'm trying to say, is this. [img]http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7523/6cd86084146144b098767eb.png[/img] In terms of getting the most power out of less generators, wouldn't the one on the left be better, but less space efficient? So if space wasn't an issue, that is.

The left one was already more efficient before the update.

I'm only just getting into power regen anyway TBH, It's only really starting to become an issue for me now, hence why I'm trying to learn about it. Seeing the formula for it was a good oppurtunity for me, glad to know that I'm understanding it right.

Schema need to slow down and focus on one or two main mechanics instead of trying to do everything all at once.

Just beware of diminishing returns when building titan-class ships.

Is that curve for the total regen or just per-reactor

Improvised docking sequence go. [t]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/28746starmade-screenshot-0007.png[/t] [i]Like a glove[/i]

-_-

I figured out the dock thing. Apparently it didn't like the enhancers RIGHT next to the docking port. I just moved them down a bit. Anyways my dock is all finished, now I just need to make it look pretty. [t]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/89222starmade-screenshot-0008.png[/t]

All of my building's/ship's power regen was slashed in half, yay! Now they can barely support their engines and shields.

Yea wtf? Any trick to get lots of regen? Cant even have more then -100 shields.... I had 90 mil... Now 1.5.....
