Granted, bans have more to do with the intent rather than the design itself. I agree with you on that one. Still, building a ship that's kilometers in dimensions not only poses a gameplay issue like it does with spaghetti ships, but I'd imagine it would lag out a server pretty bad. Maybe there...

Only skimmed this thread, so correct me if I'm missing something here. This sounds more alike an administrative problem rather than a game engine issue, sure it's an exploit that annoying players are using to play like complete assholes, but if it happened on my server it would result in a...

I like it, and maybe cloakers will be viable again :). So, basics of it are that your reactor generates all the power you need to run any and all systems on your ship, but these systems now generate heat when used, which needs to be vented/cooled to keep your ship from shutting down. I'm...

Restarted my server a few days ago and tried to rebuild my old faction. When I tried to edit the faction ranks, the names of the ranks remained as the defaults no matter what I did.

Well, whatever was causing problems must have been fixed by Gameservers. We're running relatively smoothly now, which means I don't have to move back to TheSmelter.

Ugh. Server's been down pretty much everytime I try to log on. Gameservers has failed me, big time. In the process of migrating back to TheSmelter.com. I'll try to keep everyone up to speed, keep watching this thread for details.

Did the same as HorribleHedgehog, works fine now. Thanks.

Preferably from MDU. You have a month to build and tweak your fighter before the deadline. The esiest way would be to design it in a shipyard, and I can admin spawn it for you when you feel you're ready. This is if you feel resources will be a problem in building your fighter. Of course, you'll...

Just updated, not seeing anything at all, well, I can see thruster plumes. Blocks are still there, just invisible for some reason.

NEW DOGFIGHT EVENT! We're starting a new Dogfight event, which we hope to make a regular (monthly?) event if it gains enough traction. The event would take place the first Saturday of every month, so if you'd like to participate you have until Sept 2, 2016 to get your submission in. Here are...

I was just on a few minutes ago, it was working fine. You might have lost connection on your end, or it could've been the auto restart (4 a.m. EST), not sure what timezone you're in though. As for blueprints, same deal as the stations. Keeps the server more organic and frontier like. If you're...

Custom skins are more than welcome, I'm rocking my own company space suit with a likeness of my SMD avatar for a head. Just don't go overboard, pick a skin you like and stick with it. Don't upload a skin everyday you login just so you can wear it that day. Other clients download these...

Server restarts automatically @ 4 a.m. EST, and I've briefed Bondzillha on how to do a manual restart if things get out of hand. However, it's become apparent to the both of us that we should consider adding a new admin to cover the time when neither of us are able to get online. We'll decide on...

Sweet! 1 year on SMD, and a new badge to show for it.

Thanks Cookie, figured it had already been suggested. Just add it to the pile.

True, but living off MREs isn't very good for morale. Having to eat the same tasteless mush everyday or a block of rock hard protein suplement is going to result in mutiny eventually. Even if you look at the replicator in Star Trek, those use some sort of biomass to generate the food they...

Yes to all of these. My server is so bloated with players and factions that don't play anymore.

This is still a pretty rough outline since I just thought of it on my drive to work, so I hoping for a brainstorming tag to help hash this idea out. There's already a good assortment of plants in Starmade that could be used as a basis for agriculture, but as it stands they don't really have a...

Nice. Definitely going to try this. Thanks!

I've got a monorail setup in my latest big station, which is about 1 km long and will potentially be longer, trouble is that the monorail goes about as fast as you can walk, even with the rail speed controller set to max. Kind of pointless really, wish I could change the direction of shootout...
