Starmade V3 - You cannot attach thrusters to planets.

[Tureis.]

A new update was just released four minutes ago.

"The power crisis continues." :v:

[quote=Starmade news]
-- constant increase of recharge increased from 10 to 25 per power recharge block
-- fixed base power capacity increased from 5000 to 20000
-- capacity per any block calculation eliminated (now solely relys on power tanks)
*
Please also note that the power capacity blocks scale the same way, power recharge blocks did.

patch notes

the last update caused a bit of panic. Here is the next step:
- Power Updates -- decreased cost for thrusters (minus ~33%) -- decreased cost for weapons ** *(minus ~80%) -- decreased cost for shields ** *(minus ~50%) -- decreased cost for cloaking ** *(minus ~70%) -- decreased cost for jamming ** *(minus ~70%) -- constant increase of recharge increased from 10 to 25 per power recharge block -- fixed base power capacity increased from 5000 to 20000 -- capacity per any block calculation eliminated (now solely relys on power tanks)

[Breakfast Buddy]

I don't see why people are complaining really, It's a free alpha and he's tweaking it.

[dracotonisamond]

after the latest patch it was a big buff for my ship.
i now can run the weapons almost indefinitely.

i like the fact that you need to mount power tanks now.

Tip for large ship builders:

Pick your desired power regeneration.

Calculate the dimension of the cube required to give this regeneration.

Construct this cube.

Build a ship around it.

On a large scale, intricate designs are dead.

These last two update have made me decide to quit Starmade.
They have fucked all of my ships. These updates weren't even needed!
There was nothing wrong with the power it could have stayed the same.
So long, Starmade call me when you get better.

As an aside from all the people bitching about power generation, could someone come to Perl's server and help me make my turrets work?

What does this mean

[Trekintosh]

[QUOTE=TextQUAKE;40608842]What does this mean[/QUOTE]

You have little to no power capacity unless you mount power tanks, I believe.

[TextQUAKE]

The hell are power tanks? What happened while I was gone?

[QUOTE=TextQUAKE;40608951]The hell are power tanks? What happened while I was gone?[/QUOTE]

Well.. the generators generate power while the power tanks as the name sugest are the tanks for power! - Power tanks store the generated power.

[Tureis.]

So I'm going to assume for that Death Star gamemode, players would be fighting to destroy the other's core across two sectors, with a limited amount of money for a ship?

Naaww, poor baby.

I find it baffling that there are so many people with no idea of what an open alpha/beta is. It's not the final product, it's meant for testing this kind of shit out before it's official.

I don't think it matters anymore with the latest power change, no more super-titan-carriers to rival the Death Star because of their impracticality now.

The update that was rolled out an hour or so ago addresed the issue caused by the previus update. The super-titan ships are possible again! :)

So there's no more designing generators?

:suicide:

[Tureis.]

Do power tanks have dimension building and grouping like power modules? If not, they have a ridiculously low storage rate, making them useless.

[QUOTE=Dukov Traboski;40600470]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.

crap, i haven't played since the before the texture update....

That pink looks realy nice.

[Dukov Traboski]

It used to be red

or orange

[matt000024]

Any good tutorials on making docks? Want to build a fighter bay.

Also how the hell do I hook up multiple weapon computers and types.

oh wow, my small ship has 1m regen. get in!

What wizard do you contract to get that? Or define "small"

[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;40611240]oh wow, my small ship has 1m regen. get in![/QUOTE]

I want to see your design.

[editline]11th May 2013[/editline]

Woah, after the new update when I fly my largest ship (which couldn't even support thrusters due to the other update) the energy bar flashes like it refills itself instantly after I use it.

[Mike_Tyson]

[QUOTE=Tureis;40611248]What wizard do you contract to get that? Or define "small"[/QUOTE]

6k blocks in total for the entire ship. (its actually 100k, im just dumb and misread it. the load is 1m though!!)

Are cloaks still impossible to actually make use of?

[IdiotStorm]

Is there a way to turn a lot of lights on/off at once? I want to have a red alert function on my ship but don't want to turn on/off all my red/white lights one at a time when in/out of combat

[Tureis.]

I wish there was more of a balance between heavy ships and light ships.

While heavy ships turn at a slower rate, in a fight with a player all you need to do is just keep moving back as you turn. Since the speed rate caps at 50m/s, so long as you maintain a distance, you can just turn and blast the little bugger and they'll be unable to dodge it.

ITT: why most developers don't do open alphas

[coup]

Just got done with one of my smaller projects, what do you guys think of the design? I'm thinking of making a much larger version, with even more disproportionate 'arms'.

edit: The regen is about 400,000 on this by the way. It was about 4,000,000 before the update that screwed with power. Yup, cut by 9/10ths.

Yes, unless you don't want a hull.
