* BlindJump: A common form of HyperspeedEscape, since setting coordinates can take several seconds. This will jump you the maximum distance in the direction your ship is facing. With the Starmade universe being relatively densely populated, this carries a reasonable risk of ending up in a star or next to a pirate station.



* NoPlotNoProblem

* NoPlotNoProblemNoPlotNoProblem: The game is currently a sandbox without much lore or any plot whatsoever. There are official plans to allow some form of career, but not much is known beyond that.



* MacrossMissileMassacre: The ability to build a ship with as many weapon outputs as your power tanks can support, combined with a type of missile launcher that fires 20 missiles at once leads to quite a lot of missiles.
* BeamSpam: What's better than 1 beam? Hundreds of beams! Ships have no hard limit on the number of beams they can fire at once, leading to craft firing absurd numbers of beams.

Thus, all of missile launcher that fires 20 missiles at once leads to these are very valid options for ship design, and look quite a lot of missiles.

awesome in action. However, there's no real limit DPS advantage to the amount of cannon projectiles you can make your ship fire at once.many small guns over one one large, and excessively many outputs are less power efficient, meaning it's a somewhat situational design choice.

* FasterThanLightTravel: The jump drive block allows you to jump a distance while displaying some cool effects. However, by default, the jumps are not that far and you wouldn't leave the system in one jump. But if you really want to feel like you are piloting the Millennium Falcon and making "0.5 past light speed" you can always crank up the maximum distance in the configuration files.

The game puts the player in a very large, randomly generated universe. They then need to build themselves a ship with various blocks and then find out what they want to do. The entire game is made out of blocks much like {{MineCraft}} which is one of its inspirations.
