StarMade v0.19556 - New Gear Graphics and Bugfixes
For a long time, we’ve only had a pistol in game to use for all gear. We decided it was time to change that. We have started this by adding in 4 unique models for player gear. The Build Inhibitor, Laser Pistol, Power Beam, and Cutting Torch now all have unique models. We’re continuing to create unique models for the rest of the gear, so expect more to come in future updates.
Sun Damage is now a lot more potent, so be sure not to get too close to a star. Sun damage will now do explosive damage. It also scales depending on block count so that larger ships will take more damage. These numbers can be modified in the gameConfig.xml (if you already have an existing one, you can look up the variable names in the defaultGameConfig.xml in the ./data/config directory, add the SunHeatDamage tag and its contents to your gameConfig.xml to adjust them) In further releases, there will be ways to make your ship more heat resistant, as that will become a vital strategic decision in future universe designs.
Most of the work in the past two weeks has gone into preparing a better NPC system that will be lightweight, so a lot of them can populate the game. It is not done yet and releasing in its current state is pretty much impossible. As such, it is not included in this update. Furthermore, we are planning and working on a new feature that will add a lot to gameplay: Fleets! We can’t tell you too much about it, yet, but this feature will be implemented in two stages: The “active” phase, and the “inactive” phase. This basically means fleet behaving while the ships are loaded (active), and on the other hand, fleets being able to perform tasks or even fight in an unloaded state (inactive/simulation). The first phase we are going to tackle is the “active” phase, so you can expect that very soon (maybe next release). This update also contains some bug-fixes: T1047: create docking is allowed if old docks are still being used T1032: Faction permission personal can lock out everyone if owner leaves the faction T900: Recipes for Brown Crystal Armor sub blocks wrong T812: Unable to delete blocks while camera is inside the block T786: Players that are attached to a ship via alignment share the ship's shield when shot. T753: Block count and mass is off T568: Factions Relations always display own relations, instead of selected factions relations T510: undocking ship from shipyard will usually redock it immediately T236: can't move or rescale the player list menu (Tab) T211: Star Heat damages astronaut in a ship's core even when ship isn't taking damage. T91: beams have trouble hitting ships at extreme ranges Thanks for playing StarMade, - The Schine Team

Key Features:
- Procedurally generated infinite universe, with quadrillions of galaxies - The universe is massive. It'd take approximately 10,000 years to cross from one end to the other! Singleplayer and Multiplayer worlds can be heavily customised with our extensive config options.
- Developed for scalability- We have a broad range of graphical and performance options that cater to our low-end users as well as those with heavy rigs and servers.
- Advanced Build Tools - Powerful and easy to use building tools, quickly design awesome ships, stations and bases. Including functions: Copy & paste, undo, redo, replace, symmetry modes, shape assistance systems (spheres, cycles, torus and more) and rotation of templates.
- Modular Weapon Systems - Combine weapon systems for countless configurations of weapons. From sniper beams to swarm missiles.
- Comprehensive Rail & Logic Systems - Use the rail system to build moving parts. You can do anything from simple elevators, sliding or rotating doors, to complex cranes.
Tinker with our logic systems to control any system in the game, be it weapons, lights, rails, or explosives. Logic covers all basic gate types for convenient use (AND, OR, NOT, DELAY, Flip-Flop), allows in flight control and wireless connections between entities. You can use it for simple things like timers, switches, buttons. Or, build complex systems like working clocks and even a real CPU. - Community multiplayer (dedicated servers) - Play with others in our community hosted servers. Our configs allow administrators to customise core game mechanics for a tailored experience. Most settings can be tweaked to squeeze the best performance out of hardware.
- Platform independent (Windows, Linux, Mac) - StarMade is completely platform independent. We support the three most widely used operating systems.
- Free to play in alpha - We offer the full game free to play while in alpha development. Play our game through this period for free while in return we receive invaluable feedback and bug reports.
