Minecraft

[Myself]

The sapling idea is intended for players trying out a seed which lacks trees.

[Zaleramancer]

Question.

There is a multiplayer online game that has magic that allows you to view the locations and actions of other players without them being in your presence.

This is an intended part of the game with methods to defend against and thwart it, and it is an often used part of PVP fights.

If someone used this magic on you, how would you feel/react?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The same way I'd feel about the NSA watching me. Violated and a little creeped out. Why?

[Zaleramancer]

It's a situation in a game I play that received some debate.

I didn't really care, because I never have illusions that an online multiplayer game isn't public.

[Zaleramancer]

Starmade is fun.

It's like Minecraft in SPACE.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

You're right...it is fun. I just downloaded it.

[Zaleramancer]

I HAVE A SHIP NAMED GALATICUS.

Guess what it's based on.

Oh, and I've been playing for the last ten hours straight.

:D

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Oh you gotta upload some pictures of that.

We should try a Multiplayer server sometime. Could be fun.

[Zaleramancer]

There's my ship.

Isn't it lovely?


I kid, I kid. That's my planet-lander.

Here's my ship.



For reference, the planet-lander is the wee grey thing on the surface.



And that's what it can do to a planet.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Holy Hell....That's impressive. I'd show you mine, but it had a bit of an accident.

[Zaleramancer]

I got bored.

I have over a trillion credits. :|

Oh, and Accident?

I lost a Death Star in progress.

Oh, you can catalog ships, then buy them whole at shops. So if you're worried about it, you should save your ship. Then getting it back is only a purchase away.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I've since rebuilt it.

How do I save it?

Also, does that monster of a salvage cannon work on other ships?

[Zaleramancer]

Sadly, no, It doesn't work on other ships.

That's why there are heat-seekers and cannons built into it.

And many shields.

Many.

I am invincible to pirates.

You can save your ship by going to your inventory, then hitting catalog (First button on the bottom), then Create New Entry.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yeah, I raided a space station for my current ship and packed it with over 400 energy and shield blocks.

[Zaleramancer]

I have a bit more than four hundred shield blocks.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of two or three thousand is more apt.

I'm honestly considering stripping the ship down and remaking it. It's really messy now. I also discovered the symmetry tools.

They make creating a symmetrical mass much easier.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Just got my Righteous Thunder back from the shop and she is lookin' fine.

[Zaleramancer]

What a pretty ship.

Mine is more...  utilitarian. Ugly thing, but it does nicely what it does.

Yours is so nicely symmetrical.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Pretty maybe, but ultimately she's a flying ball of energy cores in a candy shell. Not exactly a prime fighter and she turns abysmally slow.

[Zaleramancer]

You could always make it able to dock smaller, swifter ships.

I just use an absurd amount of shields to combat fragility.

I only use the Hull bits for aesthetics. Shield Units are superior in every way.  

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Gonna give her a major overhaul. Add a big ass hangar to her back and a practically insane amount of boosters and shield units.
