Recently I’ve been screwing around in a decent voxel game called Starmade, which to put simply is Minecraft in Spaaaaaaace. And weapons, weapons are nice.
I was wondering if anyone would be or is already is interested at looking at this game, which is currently free on Greenlight, or can be pre-ordered for $3 from their site.
Now as I stated the game is basically like Minecraft in space, with some EVE Online thrown in. You build up your ship around it’s core, which is the heart of the ship and what amount to the cockpit, meaning if it get’s destroyed so do you. Blocks dedicated to producing power feed into directional propulsion blocks, or into weapon formations. Each component needing to be linked together in a workable format.
When it comes to linking components together then can be placed adjacent to those on the same type to boost their power and use. This can apply to power generators, making it so that you receive and exponential power output, or to weapons such as railguns to boost their power per shot.
How does one acquire these resources you ask? Money. You start out with a small amount to buy some basic necessities like more power or salvagers. To gain more to sell blocks you salvage or dig up from asteroids, planets, or defeated pirate ships to a shop. Pirates are NPC ships that will of course attack you with discretion, meaning it’s always a good idea to have some weapons to deter or destroy their ships. If you choose to go hunting for them your reward is what’s left to vulture off their hull.
