factions

Anyone want to share their general experiences gained from running factions about important features, rules, etc in Starmade multiplayer? Obviously play style determines a lot, but there are some common things. Personally, I never allow anyone else to edit the faction homebase, to prevent...

Edit: To stress a point, these options are just that. Options. The suggested default values I listed would actually result in gameplay remaining the same for anyone who didn't go out of their way to change said options. The purpose of these options is to allow for people to make new kinds of...

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?

Recently I created the krake`stia Empire, and I saw some people on the forums had made polandball`s of their Empires. So i though to tag along: I hope you like it!

Greetings fellow explorers, cosmonauts, Admirals, and pilots. While reading a few threads throughout the forum, I thought. What could be used to rebuild player base, attract new players, build community relations, and make the game slightly more interesting? Well, one possible solution would be...

Hello there. Please be sure to read this whole idea before judging it. It requires all parts to work proper-like. The idea: 1. Allow players to designate a "Home System." 2. Allow more than one base to have invulnerability protection, but these bases MUST BE within the home system. 3. Make...

A-Z Major Factions Guide VERY MUCH UNDER DEVELOPMENT. FACTIONS WILL BE ADDED AND SORTED IN ORDER OF A-Z. What are factions? Factions provide players with protection, a chance to keep your belongings safe, while playing in a group and enjoying the spirit of collective gaming. Faction politics...

So I was poking through Planned - Faction Points Economy and the suggestion that faction points be awarded based on system infrastructure got me thinking on a few things. Factories and shipyards are fine and dandy, but I got to thinking about other ways the establishment of infrastructure might...

Make the default factions more powerful and have epic space battles. Both factions' resources should be roughly calculated. For example, when the trading guild looses a big battle, it wont be able to muster that many ships for the next battle. There should also be systems controlled by the...

At the moment, Faction Points can be accumulated and lost indefinitely, with plenty of new Faction Points (FP) being created and destroyed constantly. When a faction has negative FP, their Homebase becomes vulnerable. This system is extremely simple, and not very dynamic. It relies on just...

I brainstormed an idea in MacThule's thread. Infrastructure vulnerability in Starmade Here is the idea in full. Its a bit long, and I'm sure there are still holes. I wanted to find a good compromise between everyone that wants consumables and a faction point overhaul. Lets start with the...

Who here read the latest dev blog post and is super hyped for the future of fleets and NPC factions? Literally everyone? That's what I thought. The Dev post talked about multiple procedurally generated empires all throughout the galaxy... which you have to fight, ally with, crush, or be...

So we can make our own ships, we can change the pirate ships, we can make our own texture packs, we can make our own skins, so why not make your own AI Factions. - How this would work - in Creative Mode youll be able to create a new faction, first you will choose what type of faction it is...

I've had this idea for a while, but I'v decided to write it down here as an actual suggestion. The idea has already been suggested I'm also pretty sure it's already going to be an in game thing. Even so I will explain the entire as idea as if I was suggest without such prior knowledge...

So, one of the biggest problems with PvP and factional warfare at the current moment, is the fact that homebases are completely invulnerable, and for good reason too. Homebases being vulnerable, while allowing factional warfare and factions not entirely relying on a single base, will also open...

So, one of the biggest and most prominent aspects of Starmade is the factions, and with Global Factions being a thing in the relatively near future (it's at least planned) I've decided to add onto it that could make faction gameplay far more enjoyable across multiple servers. Faction Treasury...

Hello reader, I am Zero, I love to fight in PVP and PVE, I like to steal ships with my torch and take them over right under my enemies nose. (I really don't like to mine so I have to make a living somehow) I think in starmade's current state, it is very easy, and very hard to raid people...

If we can see where factions are allocated at across the entire universe.. what's the incentive of exploring? Once you've see all possible planets and so on, the last incentive is going as far as possible to see if you find intelligent life (real people). It's kind of pointless doing this when...

Faction wings and faction-less bands This suggestion will be in bullet-point form, because why not. Remove the Pirates faction, it kinda makes little sense when you think about it. Make pirates spawn in linked and faction-less groups called 'bands,' which are "attack all except others in the...

The PvP scene in the game is dead. Nothing happens. No events, no wars (unless you count the flamewars going down on the forums), no battle mode servers... nothing. Why? That's a good question with a complicated answer. I'd like to ask the cummunity, those who also noticed this, to add to my...
