It's an alright server, unless you're a mute. The whole server is controlled by two unbeatable factions which won't let you join them unless you have teamspeak. Once I found that out, I legged it. No reason to play on a war server if they won't let you join the war.
If you have a voice, it's probably pretty good. Otherwise skip and go to the competition.
It's not a war server. But it is not totally PVE either, it's PvEvP. PVP is not compulsory, people will often not go to war with others without cause, though mind you wars can begin for shits and giggles. It's always the way with a server that has PvP.
Most of the community is welcoming and friendly if not all. The server accomdates a wide range of playstyles.

What's stopping you from joining the war exactlty? Who is not letting you play? Feel free to declare war on us or Nomads any time you want. You do not need our permission, we'll happily go to war with you if you'd like?
But we're not preventing anyone from joining in?
Our ships too big? Easy make a bigger ship yourself.
Any faction is beatable. It's about the effort you're willing to make and time you're prepared to spend to do so. Nobody is stopping anyone else from making a faction and it increasing it's numbers.
Allowing members into a faction is that factions choice. As one of the big 2 on the server, we have a right to choose who get's into the club.
We've got to where we are in about 6 months. Great deal of contruction and resource gathering, there was only 4 of us to begin with.
Most of that is essentially down to being picky with who we let in. And so far that has worked for us and kept the griefers and immoral players out.
Same as it is for any faction when it comes to members. We require teamspeak for our faction specificly as it allows us to know our members better and is much easier to spot a potential griefer earlier, Lying for many is much easier when relying on text only to communicate.
Again though it's our choice to how we recruit and the criteria required, nobody elses. Also most of us are also friends outside of the game.
Also it is not a mandatory server rule to have teamspeak there are plenty of players without it. There is also about a hundred factions, you could try and join one of those that do not have such restrictions as ours.
Sorry, but you criticisms of the server come down to you and no one else, and I feel you've not made one valid point against why you or anyone should avoid playing there. Maybe you should work on how you approach games and communicating with others and you may find you will begin having more fun.
Why does it have to be joining the top 2 Factions for the server to be worth playing on? What would you bring to the party for either faction?
Or maybe you want to join a big faction from the get go, bring nothing to the show, and are just after free cheap resources and protection?
It does come off as a bit sour grapes.
"2 Big faction won't let me join, I won't buy a microphone and use teamspeak to achieve joining them, I am also too lazy to make my own faction or even try competing or give the game a chance........ so server is bad and players suck."
But yes, feel free to go to the competition, you're pretty limited here in Australia with choices, and craftau StarMade is currently Number one downunder and easily has the largest active Australian player base. And for me personally it has been one of the most friendly, welcoming and active communities in regards to StarMade servers. Come back anytime, with or without a voice. :D
