Beautiful pledge. Really? Well, on that logic, the winning recipe is simply to crap all over the place (e.g. lagoff all players). Which sounds a lot like playing with a pigeon...

While not exactly addressing all of your points, there are a few tricks already available: TT Demo Platform - Display Demo 2, Holography & Holograffiti

Who said server operators don't already permit some exploits? You haven't seen some of the really neat rotator block "bugs" have you? There's actually a way to make "round" ships, round thrusters or turrets for example, by exploiting a bug in the game's mechanics. Have you seen the "holodeck"...

In what way does the existence of an exploit mandate that a player is forced to use it in abusive or harmful ways? Further, why should an abusive/harmful use of exploits be tolerated by server operators, or its community, especially when such usage is not only against most server's rules, but...

Fair enough. I've tried to be clear and concise with an initial suggestion, and in followups, but I am distilling info from multiple sources, throwing my own take on it, and perhaps I just need to think on this: rephrasing and clarifying the hotly contested points. With that said, I didn't post...

That thread snippet is not intended to illustrate the entire situation; the player was ramming objects at spawn, bumping ships away, and clipping/colliding with spawn's station; causing whole-server lag. That's what caught my attention, and that's what the "PMs" were trying to discuss. The...

Yep - pointed that out in the 2nd sentence of my original posting. Limiting number of protected accounts doesn't address the underlying concerns though.

There's multiple threads there, so I'm assuming you meant MLG's entry. Jerk? No, it was an earlier strategy we employed as a deterrent to abusive behaviors. At first we just deleted entities like this player's, and in hindsight, deletions would be a jerk move. This player was ignoring...

Nothing, and I in-fact acknowledged that possibility in "Defects/Workarounds". In those particular cases, the overall intent is to increase the "cost" to abuse, and therefore act as an abuse deterrent. When Schine starts charging for the game, nothing prevents a player from selling their IRL...

Perhaps its just a difference in options/definitions here: when I think of a "penis ship" I'm thinking not of something that looks like genitalia, but something often called penis trucks IRL. Yes I know I linked to a satire site, but then the phrase penis ship isn't exactly webster quality...

Suggestion: Enable admins to limit number of alts per StarMade account. Currently: Players can currently login with an infinite number of alts, although the existing server.cfg directive "PROTECTED_NAMES_BY_ACCOUNT" does provide a basic pre-existing mechanic to unprotect older alts, it does not...

I have, and I'm not interested in repeating what has already been posted. You are clearly reading/understanding only selective parts of the overall proposal, please read more carefully.

I have already addressed your points in either my original writeup on this thread (please read more carefully), in followup postings, or your questions are inappropriate for this thread and its intended topic. If you have server-specific criticism, please take it to the appropriate board; that...

Most people don't realize that no matter how "lightly" you try to use a mouse, you're still squeezing it, and therefore straining related muscles. While being a NetWare-->SCO/SunOS/BSD/Linux engineer (that also designed, built, and solo-managed a ~300 node international Win32 desktop environment...

I started developing carpal tunnel symptoms in the 90's. To this day I attribute both a Microsoft Natural Elite Keyboard and Kingston Expert Mouse Trackball as the only things which keep me pain-free. Yea, that's almost 20 years using the same keyboard and mouse designs, for those of you doing...

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for starting this conversation Neon_42 . Additional thoughts on what constitutes griefing: Repeated unprovoked bullying or targeting of specific individuals or groups, over a period of time, for minimal material gain. Repeatedly doing anything that causes whole-server...

Yea, we had smooth sailing for ~12 hours on our server as well, and then clients started seeing the bug again.

Been thinking about the karma element. Not sure how I feel about that from a decentralized perspective. On one hand, knowing how old a player's ban could be useful, but in my experience with the only players that we've had to permaban, those players have apparently been persistently abusive over...

Homebase? Or are you thinking more along the lines of establishing "secret" trade depots, where only NPCs can ferry stuff in/out?

Yea, sorry. Didn't mean to be condescending. Zedrackis's reply came in while I was putting the screenshot together. Left it up just in case the writeup wasn't clear enough.
