      Dynamic Limitations for Ships, Stations, Factions, etc

      Currently it is not worth making additional stations that dont have homebase protection, any long range missile ship that can get thru the stations shields will have a easy time hanging back with jammer on smashing what you built

      NPC Faction Update Video

      Criss any chance that we can change the number of galaxies or even the size of galaxies in the future? We at craftau have tried to suggest all our players to stay in the main galaxy but we cant really stop players from flying into the abyss

      NPC Faction Update Video

      Hopefully we get this update before my server runs out of players, the game population is pretty much waiting on this update. Also is it possible to limit the game file to 1 galaxy?

      Why we don't share

      Currently i want to expand my faction to about 20 players. 1. trust, need every player to go mining, not join the faction and make a giant ship out of other players resources so they have none. 2. security, cant easily protect players from others that wish to go joyriding in others ships or...

      Aux Power & Gigantism

      Haha i only said 5 months to exaggerate it, but nice to know that everything on here is taken literally. currently with default settings i could mine out 2-3 planets and maybe a couple of asteriods, then more than likely make a 2million+ titan. so in a good day of playing i could smash out a...

      Aux Power & Gigantism

      Gasboy Mining bonus, server block limits and admins are all you have when it comes to setting limits in this game from those who try to push this game to its limit. Fleet spammers are defeated by admins and server rules, set the rule to 3-5 ships per fleet Titan builders are defeated by...

      Addressing FPS issues with giganticism and fleet spam by using maintenance cost

      This is all easy fixed with active admins, put a blockcap on ship/station size. id also go with putting a standard rule of try not to make a lagmonster, if you do its got 24hrs to be dismantled. Fleets cant support more than 3 ships of decent size as they bash into each other. Craftau has set...

      Aux Power & Gigantism

      The age old topic is back again. In a sandbox game, there is always going to be players who build different to you, there are always going to be that 1 player who goes around stomping noobs. The only way that your going to stop players with large ships from leaving their homebase is to make it...

      The expanding on factions thread

      Thanks for the feedback, the craftau forums is mainly for minecraft so far as not enough starmade players get on and use it for a factions section to be opened up. Another idea, adding faction rank clearance to faction permission blocks.

      Optimization of galaxy map

      I would suggest lowering as many graphic settings as possible as it sounds like your computer isnt on the powerful side, also have you guys tried setting the unimap to faction simplified so it will be mostly 1 colour? Not sure if it would help.

      Faction Permission: Visitor's Pass

      I know its been suggested alot, the alliance permission block or even setting faction permission blocks with rank clearance. Ive personally had someone come into my alliance and start chewing thru my own resources. He did it when i was offline and i was lucky that i had caught him in the act...
