    Some thoughts on the functionality of sieges

    I agree. I hope they take the time to reconsider any infrastructure choices now during this phase of quiet development to see if there are alternative methods, or even overhauls required. I am glad for the recent tests on the test server to make obvious the problems with the system.

    Some thoughts on the functionality of sieges

    Before changing the whole paradigm of how sieges work, it might be good for us to know how many of these are just underoptimizations and how many are unsolvable problems. Hopefully it's just a matter of optimization, or change of implementation rather than limiting the gameplay to match the...

    ByteSized Tutorials

    If you'd like a small display that tells you both if your transponder is on/off and whether you are in the safe zone or not, you're in luck! This video teaches you how to add exactly that feature to your ship.

    YOLOL Syntax Highlighting for Notepad++

    I have updated the User Defined Language to fix some issues it had parsing. Also, since I have been asked about how to add it, I have added a guide.

    I made a huge camera just because I could. It took a ton of work... What do you think of the results? 📸 In response to MinerBat on YouTube... Here's what a selfie looks like:

    YOLOL Syntax Highlighting for Notepad++

    (Example of syntax highlighting) I've been working on some code generators for a project that requires hundreds of chips so I can just copy and paste the program into all those chips. So, to make my life easier when reviewing that the code generated is what I want it to, some syntax...

    Ship Insurance mechanic.

    I agree that risk versus reward is at the core of this issue. That's why I think if there is to be insurance, that there need to be some kinds of trade-offs associated with it. I also understand that risky gameplay should be incentivized to increase the exciting parts of the game. But you...

    Ship Insurance mechanic.

    There is truth to what you are saying, but you are forgetting that the players who risk more will be rewarded for their risks. If you decide to engage in combat or the like, then you will be given access to more resources if you win. I suppose the issue is what insurance is for. Is it a way of...

    XenoCow's Starbase Videos

    After a very long time, Starbase has finally been patched (at least on the test universe). This video gives a short breakdown of what's new.

    Ship Insurance mechanic.

    Personally, I would like something like a "good piloting discount" The longer you have a ship and do not use insurance, the shorter or cheaper the claim takes. So, this way players that are attempting to abuse the system will have higher costs/wait times than those that are just solo miners who...

    Embrace the Space Jelly: How to Inspire Beautiful Ships with Drag as a Feature

    I talk a little bit about the potential for beam durability and the inertia of a ship to play an important role on maneuverability in the addendum of this post here, it might interest you. I do note that this current thread's suggestion conflicts with the suggestion I am linking... I like to...

    Embrace the Space Jelly: How to Inspire Beautiful Ships with Drag as a Feature

    I agree. I also considered differences within and without atmospheres, but wanted to keep the main post more concise. It's not a bad compromise to allow boxy ships in space and more plane like ships in atmospheres. It could lead to ships that need to find a balance if they need to be used in...

    Embrace the Space Jelly: How to Inspire Beautiful Ships with Drag as a Feature

    Introduction In most of our favorite movies and TV shows, space ships are shown to have wings or otherwise aerodynamic shapes. As you all know though, this is not optimal in a vacuum where there is no drag or lift to be gained with shapes like that. In video games, it is a mixed bag. Some games...
