Hurray!

That is the suggestion. Never was it suggested that there should only be a single server. Not by anyone at any time :) Regarding free trial for new players - I don't think that works. Many new players will only play 5-10 hours then never log in again. If they don't want to pay, they can join a...

Thanks :) Well that sounds like unpleasantness to deal with. Good luck. Hope it comes back together soon.

Last I was able to get on was yesterday. Vaygr was crashing through our space in something server-lagging that I never bothered getting close to, and suddenly it all went down. Haven't been able to log on since. I thought it was just a brief crash due to load, but I guess the custom block...

I believe this is a great suggestion, I even made the same suggestion at one point myself. It doesn't necessarily address the problem of Schine's project being constantly bled of support by a stubborn pack of troll-badmins in a minority of servers though, and that is my intent. Simply relying on...

Monitoring admins is easy, for server owners who WANT to monitor them. Simply log on from time to time under an anonymous alt account and directly observe or play on the server to see what's happening. Restricting admins to individuals with established corresponding accounts here and requiring...

This is a suggestion, but I firmly believe that it's not optional if Schine wish to prevent their project from being covertly tanked over time for the entertainment of a small group of players within the greater Starmade community. There are a few players willing (and able) to pay to host a...

Thanks for looking. I'm just spitballing stuff for exactly that reason; when you get to a place where it's relevant, you have a whole pile of options to work with. Trying to keep codability in mind throughout.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You might even be able just drag the "ON HUD" code over from the chat windows into the navcomp so players can switch it on/off at will.

it's not "for" that, one faction has simply come out ahead at start. it's only been going 3 weeks. we're ahead right now, but there are only 4-5 of us active - not exactly "big." things change - the server is full of intrigue and politics. They were pretty. Like fireworks. Still holding...

I got carried away after we served the Vaygr advance force. Perhaps a bit premature, but we shall see. Glad for the designs - credit for that fleet is all Zaephr. He's an engineering monster. He makes one of those designs in 2-3 hours and the perform very sturdily in addition to looking nice...

Ktulu Rises The Called prepare the path for him...

I think it can be that, and love that. I think we also need to consider boarding in the broader context. After any space battle, I'd assume that the vast majority of victors board their vanquished foes. Boarding is a sort of coup de grace as I see it. Some ships are set up to punch through the...

I'm excited to get NPC rines on my ship that I can order (with like an inner ship remote) to board a target ship after laying into its hull with a missile or something. Drive by boarding.

So in order to invigorate MP, we need to compel vulnerable outlying infrastructure. In a way that actually matters for players. I understand that there is a lot of opposition to "fuel" "food" and other concrete consumables. I really like nightrune's idea to make FP a necessary consumable and...

Glad you all like the idea :D

Mana? :p Seriously - maybe something Logistics or Supply.

It's like "Wow, so there are people out there who want to force players to build their own spaceship, piece by piece, to play a video game?"

Basically outsourcing AI to the community. Brilliant!

And honestly, Benevolent & Nickizzy, I think that some minor buffs along those lines may be totally appropriate exchanges for additional FP drain down the line, but as a later step after retrofitting the FP system to actually provide some useful balance to the game.
