Beam Weapon not working

[AndyP]

The news page with updates is subject to a new launcher or change in it.
As far as I know it is planned to revive those dev-news.

The report tool, should be functional,
but as much non-checked garbage is coming in over this,
it wastes much time (for schema),
and there may some reports go through,
not sure about the tool and its functionality.

And for the testing and reporting part:
You do not have to provide logs or anything.

The only real required fields are

• Version you are playing
• Gamemode
• Headline
• Description

Anything else can be left open. (Or doesn't matter as the formal validation will correct it in case its wrong)


To be honest, there is currently a lack of helpers on the issues.
It is no problem to become a tester and be part of this.
Want to help? Read this, and drop me a message in case you feel able to handle this.
This is offered to anyone willing to help.

Some things seem to be focused to be only done by very few people.
Yes this is true, but not a thing the few people really like.

We would really like to have 10 people helping reliable with that.

So everyone could work through 1 bug per day, and play the rest of the day.
Most of the testers didn't even play a single hour the last months without intention to trigger a bug to destroy the work invested.

Here is a list of stuff to be done.
There is enough to do, we do not want to be this 'unique' or special.
It only seems to turn out, that most people run away when the 'talking about doing something' gets to the part of 'actually doing something'.

AndyP Thanks for insight of the testing situation in Starmade

If You need more testers, then i think it could be a good idea to make a news about it, with similar content to what You've already written here. Probably it would not only lure some players to become a testers, but also provide some knowledge on how to better report an issue.

Or maybe create a thread with a list "need to be confirmed" bugs, "try to break this mechanics", or whatever needs to be done by testers (i don't have a professional experience in this), so players could just randomly read it, play around in Starmade and reply to the thread.
(Oh, i just got added to the conversation, probably i'll read it and try to help as much as i can )
