Rules:
1. Honor
While combat is often times a very disagreeable affair between players, Ash and Fire‘s goals dictate that no matter the circumstance, combat should always be agreed upon between players. Suffice to say, however, that methods such as trickery or fighting for the highest bidder are allowed. There will be no repercussions for being outsmarted, as such, any attempts to bring punishment down on another player for outsmarting you will be met with little sympathy from the administration. While if the admins do believe that there is foul play, they will investigate accordingly.
2. Responsibility
Bans are a rare in unpleasant affair in StarMade’s community. Rule breaks are more common, but punishments are often times more relaxed than a total ban from the server or forums. We take a very hands-off approach to enforcement of the rules. If someone owns up to breaking a rule, they are far more likely to receive a lesser punishment than if they lie about it. Cases will be dealt with by an individual admin, if that admin’s judgement is found in the wrong, the admin team as a whole will investigate. As stated in the above rule, admins will not act encase you are outsmarted fairly.
3. PvP and Combat
All bets are off here. You may agree to equal ship numbers or forces, however there is no reason that this must be adhered to. Not honoring such an agreement will be looked down upon by the community, but otherwise there will be no punishment. We do have a few rules to be abided by.
4. Roleplay
Ash and Fire is a role-play server through and through. Transgressions such as repeatedly speaking out-of-character in the in-character chats may result in action, and metagaming will be a permanent ban. Please see our role-playing guide page if you need help.
5. Miscellaneous Rules
Anything lag-inducing is not allowed. Using a ship to mine planets, landing large ships on planets, or otherwise intending to cause lag on the server is an immediate week-ban. Mining planets by hand is still allowed, and there is even a large bonus for mining by hand. Traveling to other galaxies is not allowed. It causes excess server bloat.

Ash and Fire offers two starter ships: a combat frigate and a medium cargo ship. Both ships have a example interior, fitting up to six crew each.
Mule-Class Medium Freighter
Designed during the Expansion Epoch of the Domain of Man, the Mule-Class offers heavily armored cargo bays and a simplicity that allows easy replication and repairs, along with modification, sporting a fast-charging jumpdrive, eight heavy fusion thrusters and a state of the art shielding system.
Avenger-class Battle Platform
Designed during the Fall of the Domain, the Avenger is a durable combat frigate mainly used by what could be described as 'angry space hippies'. Fitted with sixteen rapid-fire missile flak turrets and dual heavy beam cannons, the Avenger is fitted with a large thruster and jumpdrive, along with a heavy shield and spacious hull that offers room for expansion and modification.
