Yes, you want asteroid dynamic physics disabled. My server was not even playable until I did that. (I'm not sure what the setting does, you can still move asteroids by pushing with a massive ship...)

Okay, just did some testing with fresh Ubuntu Server 16.04 server VMs and I was unable to reproduce this. One VM had unzip installed (and unzip dependencies) and the other did not. Both had NPC Factions when I joined. It could be something with the upgrade from the previous version then, and...

And ship design, too, since you'd want to avoid any thin sections that can be easily severed. Borg Cubes would be the best design strategy.

Did you alt-tab out at any point? I notice if I alt-tab out of the game to do something with a web browser, the game's FPS permanently drops to 1 - 5 when it regains focus and I have to restart the game.

I have asteroid respawn set at 24 hours on my server. Will this affect NPC faction mining?

I still think we should have an additional reactor type. Take existing Power Reactors and reduce the soft-cap so they are only viable on smaller ships, but still produce free energy. Then create a new type of reactor (Fusion Reactor, or Antimatter Reactor...maybe both in a tiered approach with...

I think fleet mining in unloaded sectors is planned, just not released yet.

Oracle's documentation on java.util.zip doesn't make any mention of any required system utilities for it to work. But their documentation seems horribly-formatted so maybe I missed something. If I have time tonight, I'll spawn up a fresh Ubuntu Server VM and install unzip before starting a...

Doing this seems to have fixed NPC Factions on my server. One thing I noticed was unzip was not even installed on my server (Ubuntu 16.04 Server, bare-bones command-line install only). So maybe this step failed during initial world creation because of missing dependencies.

This would be a nice addition, and certainly solves the issue of multiple players in a faction trying to design ships when the homebase doesn't have enough shipyards.

Yes, I agree the default should change. I didn't know about the setting until players on my server complained that all the pirate ships were someone's unarmed starter mining vessel...

I like cannon/cannon for small ship or turrets, anything larger will have either cannon/beam or missile/beam.

I definitely don't want to see hunger, hunger is annoying and dealing with it can be grindy. In the future, perhaps some kind of farming/food mechanic that isn't required for survival, but is needed for NPC reproduction or city growth...but that's a different topic. I would like to see...

It's public. It's simply listed as "aRottenKomquat's Server."

I like it. It could be implemented as a separate game mode which is creative-only, no pirates, and gives you a sandboxed star system. (I chose system instead of sector so you can test jump drives there.) Additional options for enabling/disabling pirates, shops, other NPCs, planets/asteroids...

You get a star.

So just to report back, we set it to 8 km. Sectors feel huge now. Jump Drives and Overdrives are actually in use now, previously they were mostly untouched. I think that going larger than 8 km would be very fun, however it would make the early game extremely difficult and grindy until you get...

I recently reset my server and increased sector size to 8km. So far we all agree that it's an improvement over 2km. Intra-system travel takes a bit of time now but it isn't too bad to fly a couple sectors at sublight. Overdrive and jump drives are important now, and there's even talk about...

Mine was an upgrade from the previous StarMade version. Though I did a fresh install/reset the day before the update, I'd have waited a day had I known ahead of time.

So that explains why we didn't see any NPC factions after resetting my server (hosted on Ubuntu Server 16.04). We had assumed we had to discover them somehow.
