I probably wouldn't end up playing it much, but it looks interesting.

it does look interesting, i may try it if i can pirate it or it has a trial. The worlds look really really like minecraft, though.

You can play the game free from the website I think. It's in Pre-Alpha or some shit.

the game's engine has been in the works since before Minecraft. It's a completely separate game.

it does look a lot like minecraft, but apparently they're all a rip off of infiniminer.

It's just the music making me want to play it, not the actual gameplay.

okay, so its infiniminer with a glorified biosphere, so its a heavily-modded minecraft. second verse same as the first.

No one has made a Megamaid clone named StarMaid and sucked the atmosphere off a planet?? What?

it's not quite as much like minecraft as i thought. it's pretty neat, i could see how multiplayer could be cool. You could build a large enough ship to have rooms, like a cockpit, crew quarters, engine room, weapons bays, launch bays for small fighters, and multiple people could operate different systems, so, like, you could have a large enough ship to need a captain, pilots for response fighters, and large weapons battery operators. not sure what else, maybe first officer to work other systems, there seemed to be a lot of shit.

you could build a battleship and fly it around and blast people's space stations.

there's potential here.

if you want a bunch of free blocks just build near the space station and make new dudes when you run out of money, they can add on and buy more shit.
kind of a pain though, there should be infinite block mode.

building a salvage laser makes minecraft mining a worthless endeavor. it just blasts apart asteroids and i guess tractor beams them into your inventory.
there are supposedly derelict spacecraft you can salvage as well, and big ass abandoned space stations that you can run across and claim and fix up if the rumors are to be believed.

anyway, build a nice big salvage laser and go mine some asteroids in minutes. but be sure to make a really large fast laser, there are pirates out there.
and they will end you.

think about getting shields if you can. my spawn station "store" was out of shield generators. actually if i can find another store selling them i can buy a bunch and sell them for a profit.
buy more salvage lasers.

edit: also i will add that this game is surprisingly polished for an alpha. if this is a unique engine it works pretty damn well for an alpha, and there's a shit ton of working features.

imgur images won't post for some reason, so i can't show the internals. but it's got engineering, crew quarters, and a cockpit as well as multiple laser batterys, missiles and auto turrets.

so this ship would optimally have a pilot, a gunner, a bombardier, and a captain to issue orders and shit talk our adversaries during combat. maybe even a 5th as a secondary gunner.

arrrrr mateys, i'm looking for a salty crew of unscrupulous bastards to man the HMS_minichan at
starmade.the-rebel-alliance.com:4242 multiplayer server.

i need gunners, and an engineer to run the factory/meth lab and figure out all the advanced machinery.
i need a first mate, and a pilot.

well begin by constructing the HMS-Minichan, then we'll steal other people's ships, attack their space stations, and build our own base deep in the delta quadrant. we'll start with like a hundred million credits and the shops are full, so, there's no stopping us.

except you bastards that won't download a free game and come raid like pirates.
and even if you don't qualify as engineers, we'll always need men for boarding parties during battles.

man up bitches, arrrrrr.
