Kindhawk Starmade Server - 35 Slot - UK Based - No Lag - 24/7

[TerrorSoul]

Another update has been released and with remote commands meaning automation on its way for our server!, Yes!

 

[TerrorSoul]

We are working with our providers in order to improve in-game experience, this is done by us getting more control of the servers console. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Are uploaded blueprints safe from being posted online from server? Looking for a uk server wiht a mature playerbase atm

Whilst you wait, Let us discuss what is to be expected over the upcoming week and months for our server.

As you can imagine Starmade has a wide variety of issues and this is to be expected of alpha, as a result certain things have to be changed/removed in order to combat these issues until their repaired or are less of a problem later on in the Starmade development process, as a result to these issues one of the main changes that we will be implementing is a Ship File Size Upload Limit, the way this functions is that any ship thats say 250kb+ will not be able to be bought via a Blueprint nor will it be able to be uploaded to the servers catalog as upon the file being uploaded to the server it will be immediatley deleted by an script that will scan the blueprint folder for the server 24/7, by doing this it allows the server to have less chances of crashing/experiencing lag due to huge titan ships, this also means people who are planning on making a titan must make the titan ship on the server legitamatley instead of spawning a huge structure created in Singleplayer.

The next issue that we will be combatting is the actual Catalog Economy, this is a big issue for us as the default catalog for Starmade gives many unfair advantages and requires minimal playtime for players to be rich and therefore resulting in players being bored of the server, we plan to change values of nearly all items in the catalog in order to suit the server better, but do not worry, we will be requiring feedback from the server users regarding this before we go ahead and change the catalog values. Ontop of this economy issue we will be changing the loot configurations in order to fit seamlessly in with the rest of the economy on the server allowing for a more hardcore experience.

Another issue which we would like to combat on the server and probably one of the first things that will be arriving shortly is the automation of the server, this will be done by using the recently introduced StarNet which allows us to perform commands remotley, once this is linked up and setup correctly we will be able to run regular announcements, daily user bonuses, website integration and so much more which will result in a much richer experience on our server.

Last but not least, we are going to make our server whitelist, the current users of our server will automaticaly be added to the whitelist although new members will need to navigate to our website in which will require them to fill in a form which will require a in-game username, email address and a password of their choice as not only once the user has pressed submit on the form will they be instantly added to the servers whitelist but they will also have an online account setup for the website in which at a later date they will be able to use in order to access advanced features for the server.



I\'d like to thank-you again for your patience during this downtime and for reading this but please respect the fact that the downtime is due to improvements to the servers in-game experience and will benefit us in the long run, the more issues we sort out now the less downtime we will experience later on.

Your Blueprints are safe, we are also working on a method in order to secure the Blueprints even more.

We will be alternating between the server being offline and online during maintenance, you may join during these periods but we cannot guranantee a stable experience.

 

[TerrorSoul]

We cannot guarantee the safety of your Blueprints at the current momment as blueprint safety has not yet been fully implemented into the server!

 

[Torrel]

Long as its something that will come in the future, would hate to get blown up by my own builds that have taken me 100 hours etc

 

[TerrorSoul]

We are currently experiencing some further downtime, this is related to a bug in the current release that appears to be making the server shutdown then making it unable to come back online again. We are looking into the issue although at the moment their is not much we can do but observe how other server owners are dealing with this and find a solution to the problem if not a hotfix may be released later on.

If it comes to the worse we will have to downgrade a version of StarMade.

Thanks.

Arghh. More downtime, It\'s another alpha bug thats crashing the server. We will keep you updated on the status of the server.

Thanks for your patience.

 

[TerrorSoul]

We are performing a reset on the server, your blueprints will remain on the server although anything else will be removed, Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

[TerrorSoul]

We would appreciate it if you contact myself or another admin if any issues have been caused on the server by the reset, we will make somewhat of an attempt to hand out some funds to people who have lost money due to the reset although you are expected to earn these funds in the longrun.

Thanks.
