      New "Game Server" Oceanic

      I've got a player that i think is stuck somewhere, when they login, the server stalls for 20 seconds and they D/C There is a brief flash of what sector is the issue, but i never seem to catch it. A bunch of connection failure messages throw it off my screen, is there a way to find it in some...

      The ability to dock your ship with an extendable/retractable arm

      I logic undock with Wireless and logic. My solution for this may have been bad... And was not for "every station" I made a largish grid of pickups. With green rail systems to drive any of the pickups to where I wanted. I think they needed to be 3x3 grid but it's been a while. Wireless to...

      Are there any Populated servers?

      My server is new. And I can only just claim stable for a week (thanks to forum help making it stable) however I'm getting a lot of regular players. Some I've never seen, but the logs show them logging on regularly, and building. The other day I even had 9 players online at once!! I have one guy...

      Shields

      I did read that they were looking at adding the ability to turn on and off things by logic. But we already have power prioritisation. My bigger stations already use multiple shields with great success. If a attacking ship stands still to deplete a specific shield. My turrents make short work...

      Shields

      No I love multiple shields. Would love it more if I could send more power to forward shields ect. But as it is, they are great. Especially as regen is shut down under fire. Moving your ship round you can protect shield regen.

      Brainstorming Basic Creatures and Flora for the Future.

      Well... As a scifi fan. Off the cuff I can think of. Energy crystals that sap your energy on contact (SG:A) Entities that corrode Hull on contact (Star trek voyager) Cute little critters that seek warmth but have Em so shut down internal systems if you leave doors open and they get in...

      Shields

      I'm loving the new shield system. But I have one frustration with it. If I want to put say 3 strategic shields I have a limit of where I can put them/size. As once they overlap they turn off the other one, or take its capacity. As shield orbs start with huge growth this is very limiting for...

      Time to Talk..

      Is the problem really "ship shape" I think the problem is "power you want" You will eat my ships in PvP. (gross generalisation) But I shouldn't need to make huge disproportionate turrents in my opinion. A fighter should be able to be small and nimble and still damage bigger slower ships...

      Game Balance Suggestions

      Seems straight forward to me. Add peircing to the game. Systems have low HP don't they? So even a couple percent peircing would seriously push for using Hull. I havn't been in a battle with the newer setup (except pirates ) so this may not work nowadays with the new armour rig. So ignore if...

      "***This means the starmade_screen session will need to be restarted every day after midnight or it will break***" oh my lord, this reminds me of my first commercial job, I had this exact issue! they never shut down my program and if killed it after midnight. Way back then, I don't remember a...

      Running Your Debian Server in RAM

      The more I work with these scripts, the more awesome I realise they are. I'm not using the ramdrive yet. But I am using the backup system. Thanks again MrGrey1 . A question, is there a way to read server chat? It would be good if I could read and respond to chat alerts. Eg (server has...
