StarMade - On the long road to Beta!

[ResonKinetic]

I did some stuff and now we have essentially a limitless supply of shield generators/caps and power generators/caps + glass and docking enhancers.

you're all welcome

swiggity swooty, you got the booty

My overdrive is borked now.

Also I need like 10000 grey hull (preferably hardened) for a little project.

So the admins pretty much know where we live because one teleported to me randomly.

the ship classifications for the registry are as follows (keep in mind that these are rough approximations; for example, if a ship is long but flat as a pancake, it can probably be classified as a smaller class than what its length would dictate; the damage output a ship is capable of also significantly affects where it is placed in terms of role/type)

General ship classifications:
20-35 m = Runabout (large fighter/shuttle-type ship)
35-50 m = Corvette (fairly large courier/battle vehicle)
50-80 m = Escort (similar in size to a frigate but not as strong; good against corvettes and runabouts)
80-120 m = Frigate (low-end capital ship with good weapons to allow for equal footing against both smaller and larger ships)
120-180 m = Cruiser (medium-sized capital ship with strong weapons; great against most ship sizes)
180-250 m = Destroyer (powerful capital ship meant for front-line offensive warfare against strong enemies)
250-350 m = Battleship (hard-hitting, tough high-end capital ship capable of both dishing out and taking immense amounts of punishment)
350-450 m = Dreadnought (one of the strongest warships money can buy; these are very difficult to destroy)
450-> m = Titan (if you see this ship type, jump out of there IMMEDIATELY. these are the doomsday starships of StarMade)

There are also some ship types that just don't really feel appropriate to sort into the other categories:
50-80m = Advanced Scoutship (for example, the NX-Swift; ships built around the necessity of speed and rapid movement; usually equipped with overdrive and a 2:1-ratio FTL drive. Lightly armed and armored; but can easily outrun enemy missile fire when in the hands of a skilled pilot)

EVERYONE; FOR OUR WARP GATE AT 2 2 1:

Do NOT use the gate's door. There is a timed delay switch on the gate meant for automatically closing the gate after you use it. You MUST use that switch when using the warp gate so that the gate will close behind you.

People who use the gate's doors will be court-martialed according to Comr4de's discretion.

I wanna watch Dave bang a space whore. Where's my update schema cuz your game isn't fun yet

[comr4de]

I'm waiting on Schema's update regarding AI use as well

Arstotzkan Fleet Assembly was today.

Our fleet has taken some heavy losses the past week in titan battles, so we've been building bigger and bigger ships lately. The smaller ships you see there in the picture are generally much older than the bigger ones. In total, it's a fleet of nine ships: 3 heavy cruisers, 3 light frigates, 2 advanced scoutships, and 1 light escort. The big ship you see in the front is Comr4de's new destroyer prototype - under construction still, as you can see.



This is my personal scoutship, the NX-Swift class AFS Swiftwing, NAN-02. Its the oldest-surviving ship we have left in the fleet, and is also the fastest scouting and exploration vessel we have. Its jump drive charges very fast; so fast that I can almost keep continuously jumping without pause. It's a great ship, and it can haul a ton of cargo, allowing for rapid construction of interstellar outposts.




This next ship is SeventhSandwich's Vindicator-class Light Frigate, the AFS Oedipus, NAN-. It's equipped with powerful anti-shield beam batteries, as well as a destructive MAC railgun that can rip through unshielded targets for instant coring.




The final ship i'll show off here is Zyrr's Overlord-class Light Missile Destroyer, the AFS Overlord. It specializes in missile weaponry, and is armed to the teeth with swarmer missiles, lock-on torcreepes, and destructive siege nukes.



That's all for now!

[ResonKinetic]

My ship actually looks like part of the fleet.

Cool B)

Love what Com's done with the Tantalus.

Also, I've got this really great frigate(?) design in my head I want to try out.

[ResonKinetic]

did you guys see the update about the new faction points system coming soon?

sounds pretty hype imo

[ResonKinetic]

Soooo I'm working on a significant ship design on the server... "Syntax Error"

Probably needs to be labeled or something eventually.

Also, AFS "Reason" is no longer under construction and the model has been properly named "Gunthruster"

because it's a gun and it thrusts

[comr4de]

Yeah we're thinking about switching to elwyn after this universe generation update drops.

[Flame]

what's elwyn?
