      Crew Minus Crew

      I did not look into much of the previous thoughts on Crew. I am looking at it as a performance issue. The NPC dude is also just 2 blocks tall and can create some nasty pathfinding. If a crew is an entity like a core or resambles a current hired NPC then i see lots of trouble. But i could be...

      I cant register my server

      starmade - servers.com? Is this an external site? There are a few things that could be at fault. In the server.cfg there are these lines: ANNOUNCE_SERVER_TO_SERVERLIST = false //announces the server to the starmade server list so clients can find it. Hostname must be provided for...

      How do you protect the little guy?

      Sure why not. On a server that has drop blocks on death on. You also drop your blaster and other hand tools. You can get these back from an advanced shop trader. But i much rather see them go in another pocket/suit that is not effected by this. Since we all know that this NPC Trader is often...

      Unprotect entities via faction module from HB protection.

      Yes. I added the example to show that you can do most of what your are asking for right now. Partial setting of vulnerable will see a lot of abuse.

      Crew Minus Crew

      How realistic is it to get crew into StarMade? I am talking from both a player and server admin perspective. We have a lot of Core entity pressure on StarMade servers today. Crew is going to add another hundreds maybe thousands of entities all crawling on ships and stations. If you today hire...

      Unprotect entities via faction module from HB protection.

      Ehm. Is it not way easier to just build a second station? Since you can only have one Home Base. On the Systemhack server i once set my Home Base unprotected and advertised that in the factions list. Come and destroy it if you can massive loot inside. No joke it had like 1 billion mass of items...

      How do you protect the little guy?

      Yes i agree it is a must. But the quote is to show there are way less secure ways to play StarMade. Since this thread is about protecting the little guy. You need to point out that StarMade has options to safe guard one self. People need to use it and not dismiss it to get an all day free card...

      PvP / PvE / RP Poll

      Agreed. I ended up voting both options as i also played servers where clashes were more regulated.

      PvP / PvE / RP Poll

      Well this one is a bit difficult as i do not consider a protected spawn and some of the surrounding sectors to be a restriction. I am all for Open World PvP. A server that just has a protected spawn and the Home Base system is an Open World PvP server in my book. Only when you start to dictate...

      How do you protect the little guy?

      Most people take it for granted that they have a safe spot in the universe. But i played servers where the admin took a way more radical approach. Where Home Base protection was turned off. Where if you died you lost ALL the credits and ALL the blocks you had on you as a person. The universe...

      Building a living universe

      Nice to see someone try something different. Will i play it? Probably not. But the concept might appeal to others. The current StarMade player base that play online is very small though. I do have a few tips. Looking at your post you seem very knowledgeable about StarMade. So you may already...

      What servers are you playing currently when you want to pvp?

      Brierie is and has been my main focus for a long time. Currently i am the oldest player to have a Home on it as i was on it pretty much when Brierie ever started hosting a StarMade server. Light vs Dark is also a great server. Freaks r US is great Systemhack is also powerfull and has good PvPers.

      RP vs PVP = False

      You read what you want to read. And i am absolutely right there is no such thing as griefing. Will i attack any new player that enters the server? No. But if they enter with bravura and proclaim to be the new best thing ever to the server then i am going to putt them in there place. If...

      How to Promote Healthy PvP?

      Server admins deside what "healthy" PvP is. Players choose a server that suits there style. Servers without rules are Anarchy anything goes. They will mostly still have the in game safety systems like a Home Base in place. But an admin can choose to disable this as well. Including drop blocks...

      How do you protect the little guy?

      Agreed. People complain about bad things that happen to them. When they willingly and knowingly refuse to use the in game mechanics designed to keep them safe. Then wave some flag to elevate them self above these in game safety mechanics in order to be exempt from using them in the first place...

      How do you protect the little guy?

      If you use a Home Base and keep the ship docked when a PvPer shows up then you can chat and showcase all day long. Even the PvPer will get to showcase your build as that is all he will be capable of if the ship is docked to the Home Base. As an added bonus you get to see the Fire works show of...

      Make sure releases are playable and fix the current release

      The game currently has two major problems. Entity pressure from cores. And interaction from players with others or the stuff around them. How many players did you have on your client? I can have the game run for days to if i just play it myself. Schine needs to setup a Free for all play as you...

      RP vs PVP = False

      Not using a Home Base is a choice. But if you are a none aggressive player. Then i highly recommend to just claim that Home Base. Only people who are prepared to lose everything and anything should not use a Home Base. This will tell others where you are as Home Base locations are in the...
