      CraftAU shutting down.

      Warning! Wall of text ahead! ;) tl;dr version: PEOPLE ARE BORED AS FUCK. Okay I am going to make it as simple as I can. As this topic is why a server, one of the games most popular, is shutting down and why players are leaving. Yes in some regards the power is a contributing factor, a small...

      CraftAU shutting down.

      Sorry for the late reply, Easter Weekend, lot of work keeping me busy and being tired. Instead of a wall of text I decided to make a video response. It may provide better context than reading, as from experience reading seems to confuse a great many. Covered some of the major points, wanted to...

      CraftAU shutting down.

      AndyP Hi mate, I was going to address a few of the issues players were having, the planned power balance being just one, in more detail as well as read yours, dukes and others posts properly. Alas it's now 2am here and I need to get to bed so I will do so tomorrow when I get home. But from being...

      CraftAU shutting down.

      :cry: I'm sad to announce the CraftAU server is being shutdown on the 22nd of April and just wanted to give people a heads up. Doing so as a long time player and am not in any official capacity or a representive of CraftAU. This is the last and one of the longest running Australian server for...

      Unify Scanning and Stealth systems

      Either or Cav, as long as unmanned and AI ships are able to be detected.

      StarMade v0.199.459 - Major Performance Upgrade

      Soooo have the problems been fixed yet? Missiles now hitting targets and stations no longer going *POOF!*? Been waiting forever for weapon lag to be fixed and am keen to try it out, but yeah, would like to be sure my stuff aint going to vanish when I log on.

      Time for a real demo?

      Firstly a big thanks to everyone contributing, whether I agree or not, it is good to see the world through the eyes of others. Fair enough. I can respect where you are coming from, but still, as I said many EA games that are not as complete have no demos, are sold for much more and seem to do...

      Possible to edit rail block stats? Specifically strength.

      Thanks for the info DukeofRealms here's hoping it comes sooner than later. It is a massively big problem for servers where combat occurs regularly. But it is good to know the team is aware and planning to fix it. Thanks :)

      Revert Sun damage to how it used to be.

      Yeah we one of the first things we did on the craftau server was increase that to 20 seconds. Generally buys people enough time to get clear. Have to have another look though, cannot recall any settings that turned off explodey effect. I know you can change the warning time, sun damage radius...

      Possible to edit rail block stats? Specifically strength.

      1. Destroying mass enhancers effectively does this already. In regards to turning that is, their weapons computers and or modules being destroyed will stop or diminish their ability to fire. 2. Would break immersion, for me personally if turrets disappear I want it to be because they were...

      Time for a real demo?

      Just wonder if giving the full game out for nothing hurts Schine financially? I know it provides a tonne more 'play testers' for them, but that only counts if people are actually offering feedback and reporting bugs. Something I get the feeling many playing whether free or paid rarely do in any...

      Possible to edit rail block stats? Specifically strength.

      Yeah I do not necessarily want to make them invulnerable, but I do want them to not be so piss weak that they are always the first thing to go on a ship, every time, guaranteed. ;) edit: Schine maybe needs to make them not count towards a ships structure. Unless there is a way I can do that...

      Revert Sun damage to how it used to be.

      What the title says. I have no idea why it was ever changed to the explodey effect that punishes larger ships and targets docked entities for insta-death (or insta undocking like heat seekers do). Think now is a good time to discuss this as Schine seems to be focusing on making some sensible...

      Possible to edit rail block stats? Specifically strength.

      Thanks for the feedback, nope not going to keep the weakness of rails in mind, well actually I am, because that is exactly the problem I am talking about. Them being weak is their flaw. Too easily destroyed which creates the major issues I mentioned in OP. Should be no need to put blast doors or...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      Good to see something is finally being done about power. This kind of thing rekindles my interest in the game. As I have said right along, for me it is mostly about getting the number of blocks required to have sustainable ships down. e.g 1 block equals the equivalent of 10 now, or something...

      Possible to edit rail block stats? Specifically strength.

      I know the game is extremely customisable via configs, but I am specifically looking for the files/settings for rail block stats. I want to mess around with them to try and eliminate one of mine and other peoples biggest issues with the game, and why I keep docked entities to a minimum, like...

      Best Missile Circus you've seen in-game?

      Lag and frame rate death, actually a small number of any missiles or any weapon projectile will bring the games to it's knees framerate wise. One of those things that needs to be optimised asap I think especially as so many people still resort to missile spam over strategy. I don't know about...

      Best weapon type for mass destruction?

      I tell people to experiment and see what works for them. Not one single weapon is really better than any others, depends on the circumstances. And once you get to just going OP with the weapons almost anything will do again depending on the circumstance. But yes, in terms of damage missiles...
