I give up

[Edymnion]

I tried to keep a warp gate at spawn to help newbies, I really did.

But apparently I have become the target of a concerted griefer effort to tear it down. Its been damaged enough to shut it down half a dozen times, and today it was outright vaporized for the second time. After I had greatly reinforced the weapons on it after the last time. Half a dozen individuals added to my enemy list.

Thats it, I'm not rebuilding it. The damned newbies can fend for themselves. I'm not playing into this damned griefer game. They can just go find something else to freaking do.

ah...some people just want to watch the world burn.
Kinda sad

Whats the server?

 

[JimmyJamba]

I bet the guy who blew up your gate was the same guy that cut in front of me in line at the coffee shop this morning.

Working on a multi-targeting anti-griefer turret. They'd have to send an army to kill a station with it on it. :P That said without knowing the server and the conditions on it there is no way of knowing what nightmares to tune it for killing. Normally I'd make the biggest turrets I can for parking near spawn. If they want to kill it they are welcome to try if they don't mind being vaporized leaving spawn.

What's the server, and what are the factions and individuals griefing your station?

You might want to consider asking the admins to protect your station. You could also use an alternate account and make a faction to protect it.

As a rule, newbies are fucking assholes.
People who go to spawn for shopping are generally assholes.

Trying to be nice to people with stations and general purpose services gets your shit shot at.

90% of the time, the only way to effectively have a spawn that's useful and helpful is for the server admins to do it and set structures to invulnerable.

 

[StormWing0]

lol or put a defense system the fires a server killing amount of missiles to deal with people.

 

[Planr]

Lol OP. What did you expect. Warpgates are EASY targets.

FTFY

It'd be nice if warpgates worked like stargates in one simple respect. That'd be when someone comes through a gate a huge shockwave is released along the plain the gate ring is oriented and vaporizes any astronauts on the station and any ships caught in the blast.

Stuff just needs to blow up when destroyed in general.

Such is the game right now. It's easy to ensure victory over single static object since getting blocks to build even bigger and stronger ship is easy. Then, it's easy to commence an attack since there's no expediture of resources mid-fight. After that, reward is often sufficient to make up for any losses - it's even more blocks to scavenge.

It encourages conflict which is great if one is into actual PvP, but at the same time it's detrimental to any peaceful coexistence or to notion of self-preservation.

As pointed out, lot of it may be also simply the server you're on. Consider talking with admins to establish some general service hub for players - and make sure they'd want that first. But most people who aren't specifically willing to use services of such should both have an option and be even encouraged to fend for themselves.

Sounds like you need moar dakka, boss.

Edymnion is trying to defend the warp gate that he designed at spawn. He already have a ship in place to take down anyone that attempts to damage the warp gate that Edymnion designed. However recently influx of griefers came to the server, and attempted to disassemble it. There is no individuals, or factions involved. Just random griefers who logged in.

PVE-only servers really need to be whitelisted. It's far too easy for griefers to do their shenanigans there otherwise.

newbies are assholes.

Then that makes me a pro in every game I just joined.

It's Starmade.

The only way not to be an asshole is to not play. :P

It's have it faults. No one can do anything about griefers unless server converts to whitelist scale. Of course that'll discourage an influx of players to make an application to be permitted to play on that said server.

Still sucks to get warp gate destroyed again, and again.
