Aside: Probably Comr4de's turrets are just too awesome for Starmade to comprehend. They are usually pretty awesome.

or... maybe you just have a real life that is the priority like it should be, kids, job, spouse and all, and you put June 21 on your calendar, then you come on to the forums that night after a long day at work, ready to upload, and enjoy some gaming before sleep, and ... poof, oops, what they...

below, please find suggestions from the community on how to optimize your game engine, increasing client-side FPS rates and reducing server-side CPU lag (heavy load). Everyone feel free to contribute: 1) collisions - game is doing way too many calculations still, and rail entities made this...

AI probably needs proper bounding boxes in order to position ships correctly. Proper bounding boxes or collision boxes aren't calculated by the game engine... yet... as far as I can tell. I don't know the code, but it doesn't seem like it. When ships get near each other you can almost see the...

Performance? Make mining a 1:1 "bonus" or even reduce salvage beam damage to slow down mining, and instead put in a huge refining bonus to factories. Servers seem to run much faster this way, and players still get equal or greater resources.

can we unsticky this thread... cuz... OP was 6 months ago. :/ New thread & vote time.

+1 and yes x 1000 One cannot possibly say this too loudly or too often to Schine. Translation: "We at Schine don't give a rat's @$$ about how any of our players feel, or how crippling all the bugs are to their gameplay and their servers. We want to dink around with our own agendas which...

:P I'd post my opinions about it and stupid cutoff times, but meh... until later. For now, enjoy screenshots: (credits: me on everything; Slate, Lego, morb, Khusrau, Huller, darkness_angel on some things)

Better armor must have a balance. It must weigh more and be more expensive to produce. Also... (reference my above post) servers have and are currently making custom armor blocks (such as Mushroom Fleet) where there are further options past Adv Armor - eg - stealth armor & Quadranium.

Game balance, eh? This is really easy... 1) let the players tweak it however they want. 2) fix beams 3) fix NPC / AI factions outside just -1 and -2 4) let the players tweak it however they want See how easy that was?

Good luck with this. Always nice to see more experiments and attempts at alternative currency economies. I encourage you to drop the credits entirely, though, and only use your custom currency blocks. It CAN be done. Other servers have proven it ;)

JinM, there's a place on Mushroom Fleet that's called "Battlezone"... inside there, it's a free-for-all pvp or dogfighting sector, locked from other people entering or exiting, except by gate. You can ask for whatever type of matchup by ship class or mass that you want. If a player is not...

Imo, 8k sectors and 150m/s max speed works pretty well. We've had that for a long time on the server I frequent. For larger open space battles it doesn't cause too much server load when a few sectors are crossed. For dogfighting, we / I set up a + noentry + noexit sector that you gate into...

Well it's not working on "real" servers. The game hangs on loading while "Downloading server custom textures..." at least it seems to be hung. Shouldn't take 20 minutes ;p Devs - hotfix? Just turn it off, please.

Good luck with your server. Thanks for continuing / trying the experiment of grills as money and Barons and alternate economies for the game like we do on Mushroom Fleet!

well... i hate to say it... but, yeah, everyone should have seen it coming, if they knew anything about Imperium from the original Mushroom Fleet server. I know I risk dredging up bad blood, ....again.... but I'm not trying to. I'm just recalling some history so that hopefully some can be...

Hope springs eternal. Until the devs optimize the game, ALL servers are and will face this exact same issue. It's killing our online MP experience in the community because we can't have more than 10 people or so online at a time. After a big battle, often a server cannot recover on it's own...

To keep your server admins most happy.... I would NOT fly to other galaxies. This usually (in my experience) makes StarMade very unhappy, in terms of the servers' performance.

Also... when hosting a server, you might do best to remove all the custom texture files from the server's SM installation. Just have the custom blockconfig.xml file on the server. On your and others' clients, then, you DO want the custom tex pack installation to exist there. The server doesn't...

Important to note, that updating to the most recent build of Starmade caused this bug to occur. The server and all clients were running fine before this update. The current build ( v0.198.146 ) may not be compatible with custom blocks or textures on a server. A hotfix could be useful, to...
