      DEV Build / NPC Faction not spawning

      I'm trying out the dev build and right away notice that i'm only getting the old generic factions (trading guild/pirates) in single player. Is there a way to spawn the new factions on a new world?

      Mining Drone solution

      In other people are still having mining drone issues with drones that previously worked just sitting still despite the fleet saying their mining, here is a solution i'm using for this problem. Exit starmade completely In the starmade directoy, delete the client-database directory restart...

      Don't show the whole map

      The map should only be revealed based on the areas we have actually explored. When first join a server/play on a new map you should only be able to see the location of stars. NOT what is around those stars, and not the location or pathway of blackholes/gate ways. You should have to actually...

      Logic activated defensive effects

      Lord_Greyscale makes a good point. Drones are very very much nerfed to begin with. Add to it drones going full derp against anyone with lock-ons and a radar jammer they need to be greatly improved to 'balance' the game.

      It's time for Starmade to implement what it has always needed!

      Blah to ladders, turbo lifts are were its at. Great way to make combination elevator/escape pod/crew ejector.

      Logic activated defensive effects

      I'd like this too, maybe a block to signal when a ship takes fire, and one to signal when enemies are in radar range.

      Hull Temperature Display

      Problem being here, there is no heat per say. Your either in a sector that deals damage or your not. Amount only varies if your near the star or inside the star. And there is already a pretty big warning when your in one that deals damage. Alternatively a marker along your path showing where...

      Faction Founder Tips

      No faction is 100% idiot proof on a vanilla server. Even if it comes down to spies giving away your position when your mining, new members getting themselves killed and costing your faction faction points, or just someone using up free docks when you need them most. However, this is a good...

      Implemented Storage Level Emitter

      Thats not actually true. I find that a simple: Storage -> Factory Storage->Activation block Activation Block -> Factory setup works mostly as intended. It will in fact flip the activation block from Low to High even if there is nothing to pull from the factory. There is however still the...

      Implemented Storage Level Emitter

      There is an OR signal that indicates empty/not empty also. Unfortunately it goes a little deeper than that. Not all things that pull/push items activate storage logic properly. Like Factories and rail blocks, the dev's say this is 'undesired behavior' but haven't specified when it will be fixed...

      Minimum number of members to allow faction to protect station (and other tools for servers)

      I could see where the option would be nice on some servers, but would probable get abused a lot too. Personally I would like to see a limit on the number of protected stations per system, including home bases.

      Claim Block

      I would like a block that people can come along and set their personal claim on, the same way the faction module allows for a personal signature. Being resettable by those who have permissions to the whole structure. The useful affect of the block would be give permissions to any blocks linked...

      Economy Metrics

      This is one for server Admins. Now that we have trans-galatic automated trade, we could use a way to track what is being bought and sold at various levels. Say a metric of trades in/out of npc shops, pc shops, and a way to track those trades on a per galaxy or trans-galaxy basis. I'm NOT...

      fleet mining broken?

      Make sure the flagship and the mining drones are set to the same faction. Drones without a faction can be extra derpy. Ive seen them actually shoot beams and still not be mining because they weren't faction'ed. Also the drones pathing is related to the servers sector size, because the range of...

      A Trade Gate is?...

      Under the faction configuration there is this setting.. <ThresholdTakenRadiusForTradeGates>15</ThresholdTakenRadiusForTradeGates> </BasicValues> </FactionPointGalaxy> What does it do/mean/exists because Schema wanted to mess with server ops?

      Hosting Suggestions

      I am looking for a SM hosting package that can handle 30 players at most and has decent tech support with the option to configure server files. Any suggestions for best places to look?

      Hide me plz!

      I was never suggesting that, you seem to have missed the context of the original post. Stations must first be located to be attacked, and non-HB stations do not have their position publicly posted. That would be super abusable, everyone would be dropping a shop station right outside their...

      Enable admins to limit number of alts per account

      You can limit the number of protected alts per account now, just FYI, its in the server.cfg

      Hide me plz!

      Also now that I have gotten a little more use of the trade network. Only displaying the distance of the trade ship to your shop as well. Seems better if finding a trade ship required triangulation or having one pass through a controlled system.
