But these will also deplete your energy supply fast there for you need energy generators and tanks. There are missile launchers, power sapping lasers, power giving lasers, repair lasers, shield generators and loads of different machines and pieces of equipment that make your ship feel alive and buzzing. You also need lasers to defend yourself and mining lasers to dig up material to help you earn money. If, like me, you don’t notice your arrow and build the whole ship backwards only to enter your ship and be facing a wall you will have to take it all down and start again, which, to say the least is extremely annoying. You need thrusters to move your ship, the more you have the faster you will go. An important thing to remember is that the ship faces a certain direction indicated by an arrow. It is also the block your see out of and you drive from, so if you click on it you will start up flight mode in your ship and see out the front of the ship component. If this gets too damaged or it overheats you die so its important to protect it. …when i say you can build anything, i mean you can literally build anything. When you place this you will be aloud to name your ship and then it will place a block which is the main component of your ship. This first thing you are given is a ship component which is a blue cube. This is to make you explore the universe and find other shops which is actually quite fun to do. Most shops will have less then 100 of each colour of hull which is the main component for building your ship. I’m not here to judge so when I say you can build anything, I mean you can literally build anything! Your concern is supplies and credit. There will be some of you out there making your sci-fi dreams come true by building and piloting the Millenium Falcon or the USS Enterprise or there will always be the strange community of people who want other dreams to come true by building and piloting a giant penis. Your spaceship can look however you want it to look. This can ether be through mining different planets with different biomes or asteroids suspended in space, scavenging unused and randomly spawned space stations or through fighting off hordes of space pirates and taking their loot. From then on you have to go out and find yourself ways of making money. You start off next to a shop with basic supplies and a little bit of money then you have to build yourself a space ship. This game is basically Minecraft in space. There is no way to explain Starmade without at least saying ‘mining’ once. Look forward to the 'Lift Module'.Do you like the voxel building aspects of Minecraft? Do you like the endlessness of space? Do you like to play great games for free? Well then, I may have just found the perfect game for you! The next preview is going to feature new Modules that help you get around on your space station. Then just get in, undock yourself from the landing module and fly out into space (that is actually a pretty amazing feeling, at least for me). Use scaffolding and all the tools a block world provides to make your ship even more awesome. You can also use gravity to edit your ship from the ground. That means, that you can edit your ship, without having to worry, that it might float away. This module is similar to the docking module but with one decisive difference: A landed ship is affixed to the landing block. Introducing the first unique Space Station block: The Landing Module A lot of new blocks will enhance that module. I want to point out the gravity block in particular, since this it's intended way of use is within Space Stations. All the weapon and missile blocks, as well as the power and gravity block are available to place in space stations. There will be a lot of blocks taken over by the ship.
