![]() When people have so much room but not much stuff we tend to try and find a way to fill it, which is exactly how I would describe this game. With such an expansive universe in front of me how was I supposed to navigate to anything or remember where I parked my space ship? Well ladies and gentlemen, this would be the perfect time to invest in a pen and paper. At first it was a little intimidating having the freedom to do anything you like. It reminded me of the first time I got to the space era in the game Spore. There will be thousands of sectors containing randomly generated asteroids, planets, space stations and pirates all across the universe. When you start a new game the game universe will randomly generate. The more energy tanks you have means you will have energy reserved for a hardcore pirate fight or if you need to quickly retreat. The more energy generators you have the faster your energy will increase. 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. 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! ![]()
