Need some advice on server specs

[Slimsta]

Hi guys, hope you are all well.

Basically, we are having some trouble with our server. So here is the situation. Each day I have around 8 players on and the server is working fine, but then when my factions joins the server and it has to load in our Titan ship which is 1.1 million blocks, the server goes funny and crashes a lot. So basically we are having to stay off the server so others can play until this issue is sorted.

How do I go about finding a server with the power and networking capabilities to let people play on the server and also have the Titan rendered without it crashing every 2 minutes?

Thanks in advance!

Okay first the Titan is really really big like 11x my rebuild of the Stockholm.

So it is not weird that the server or any server folds itself backward when this thing moves or engages in combat.

The build limit = server CPU limit

StarMade likes a strong CPU. It can do with very little RAM provided you restart the server regulary as the game is prone to memory bleed.

I have good experience with servers that ran on The Smelter. I would suggest to get a cheap package with like 2 GB Ram and upgrade the RAM only when needed. As servers are mostly payed by the amount of RAM.

Do not pay like $200 a month for what ever server. Ironheld the owner of First gen Light vs Dark server had to fork that out for a Google based cloud server. He was very happy when i pointed out that that was unneeded and plain silly.
