StarMade - On the long road to Beta!

THE GREAT BATTLE BEGINS TONIGHT!

Entire mighty Arstotzkan fleet faces off against the entire combined forces of the HyperCore server!

The server is being reset in a few days due to the universe getting corrupted, and everything is going, so the denizens of the server have decided they want to try one last stab at us and throw everything they have at us. Just like them - We'll hold nothing back!

Here is a picture of our fleet in formation.



The battle begins soon! See you on the other side!

ARSTOTZKA STRONG!

so how does that even work?
Do yo guys have someone on at all times?
I mean what if someone somehow builds an even more powerful ship and destroys your ships while you guys are gone?

well there are mods for this game. I wouldn't doubt it if there was a mod that denied destruction of someones ship unless they were on the server. or maybe they just hid them away y'know?

Hide them + homebases are invulnerable

Agh, I won't be able to finish the Calensk until Sunday.

Hahaha! That was a glorious battle!

We fought valiantly comrades. The enemy had strong ships, but the might and ingenuity of grand Arstotzkan engineering gave us a cutting edge in the general combat. Alas - one by one we fell, but we took those monsters with us!

Our mighty Sunrise-class Space Battleships, Uchuu Senkan Iowa and Uchuu Senkan Richelieu proved invaluable in the battle. Commanding the Iowa, I took out TWO enemy capital ships by devastating their shields from afar with quantum torcreepes, then rushing in and killing the shields with the Sizzler Ion Beam. Next came the truly terrifying part that surely struck fear in the hearts of those despicable kebab cowards - the Iowa's deadly shredder cannons! With deadly precision, the shredder cannons ripped right through the enemy's hull and tore their ship to bits! That - is how I cored and killed them! Muahahahaha!

I salute you, dear leader and fuhrer Comr4de! Glory to Arstotzka! Today has been a good day.

Thank you. It was always something i wondered with this game. I had to ask because from what i gather, everyone wants to kill them, so I didn't know why someone didn't just take them out while they were gone.

We either dock ships at our home world which is protected, so nothing takes damage. Otherwise, we hide them in our other space stations/shipyards.

any tips for building gargantuan ships?

any tips for building gargantuan ships?

lay down a frame of the ship first before you actually build it. This psychologically helps me to get the ship done faster with confidence as I know how the ship is supposed to be shaped, and that all I need to worry about by that point is how everything on the inside is gonna be laid out.

Hull blocks are fairly worthless in terms of protection; even advanced hull gets torn through like tissue paper by most weapons people will throw at you. I would recommend just using basic hull or standard armor. Feel free to use advanced armor for areas though where protection is an absolute necessity.

The game works as buy with blocks now too, so that means building "gargantuan ships" is not a wise idea if you are in a one-man faction or very low on resources. People can't simply be one-man armies any more by building multi-million credit titans, so it makes the game much more enjoyable now that a proper economy is working.

About loving time it was on steam, now I can finally buy it.

There was one occasion though, i had completed an "unknown" class of ship. It was that huge, i called it the Orion. The huge ass rail gun was half the ship's size, and nearly took up all of the ships power with 10 seconds of penetrate fire. Could blow a 10x10 hole through a capital ship in no time. But then i got raided by a smaller faction of fighters. I kid you not, actually tiny fighters buzzing around my ship. And that's what did me in. The tiny fighters, not a huge ass death laser. But 6 tiny modified pirate fighters.

me and my friends haven't bothered with any actual survivability right now. right now we host our own private servers and just use admin commands to give ourself items. just experimenting with types of ships and so on.

Needed to switch computers, the mining ship is safe I assure you. I will warp it back to base when I get on.
