Welcome to the latest iteration of Starmade's ULTIMATE HARDCORE SERVER. Last time we did this we pushed the envelope on difficulty by forcing people to buy ships with blocks before anyone else did. Now, we're pushing the envelope again. This time, we've made a number of changes to make combat and faction warfare more interesting than default starmade. Since we're both libertarians at heart (and incredibly lazy we've taken the unique stance of minimum rules on the server.) Now, for the meat of the matter.

Changes from default starmade:

Spoiler

• Shields are now station-only and weigh more. If you attempt to spawn in a ship with shields, it will be automatically deleted. This goes for your turrets as well. Clean your ships before uploading them, as admins will NOT refund parts lost!
  
• Warheads have been removed from shops. However, they are now more powerful at the cost of being more expensive. [25k damage, 10 radius]
  
• Jumpdrives and salvage arrays are limited on a per-ship basis. [Jumpdrive comps: 2 per ship, Salvage comps = 1 per ship, Salvage modules = 1500 per ship (may change)]
  
• Mining bonuses are 1/4/4
• Station limit increased to 4 per sector.
• Shotgun cannon and beam are double damage.
• Swarmers are now lock-on and reduced damage. 6 missiles split off per shot.
• Cannon/Cannon RoF and range halved, damage doubled.
• Cargo storage capacity reduced from 100 to 10. You'll need a lot more space to store stuff.

Faction config is changed from default. You gain FP for having territory now, but not just for being online. Members cost points. It's very much a work in progress, if you're in the red you can't take territory, hopefully schema will fix soon.

Planned config changes (if based schema ever implements them):

• Disabling homebase invulnerability
• Disabling shared starmaps.

Rules:

1. Don't do anything that might put Comr4de or I in jail in the USA.
   
2. Do not set a homebase. First offense will be a ban (which may be appealed), second offense will result in base deletion and a permanent ban. (will be removed as a rule once skoomer provides this a config option)
   
3. Do not leave the starting galaxy. (will be removed as a rule once we get this goddamn wrapper working)
4. Do not use exploits, hacks, or cheats of any kind.
   
5. Banter of all kinds are allowed; avoid dropping power word: REAL NAMES in chat or any form of doxxing. If you can't destroy your enemies in game just admit you suck, no need to griff IRL. Use the ignore function if you're a little girl who cant handle da bantz, idiot.

Rules will be enforced at my discretion, particularly in regards to homebases, shields on ships, and cheating. Keep clean of those and there should be no issues.

Tired brain told me that the title read LGBT Hardcore. I think my brain fused LCB and BDLS together or something.
Expected troll post, was not disappoint.
5/7

 

[Reilly Reese]

How are you enforcing the anti-shield rule?

 

[Lecic]

How are you enforcing the anti-shield rule?

Three Four ways.

1. Setting shields to station only through a custom block config.
2. Enabling the setting to automatically delete ships containing station only parts.
3. Modifying the ship core to have zero shields through a custom block config.
4. Deleting any ships that manage to bypass this.

 

[BDLS]

^
There's also a handy dandy line in server.cfg

REMOVE_ENTITIES_WITH_INCONSISTENT_BLOCKS = true //This will remove ships that have blocks that are normally disallowed (e.g. space station blocks on ships)

Although it seems to be removing stations with various terrain blocks from our neutral station pack, thus nuking those stations outright. Alpha.

Welp, getting a bit late over here and I won't be up too much longer. Pretty good launch, despite 2 crashes. Hope you guys had fun and spread the word. Feel free to make any notes in this thread, just be sure to remember SMD's standard of communicating compared to ours on LCB :^)

Don't forget to vote out of love, I ain't giving you any blocks or credits or anything, eat shit. Does voting mean anything on starmade-servers anyhow? I've always sorted by current players.

Vote for LCB Starmade HC

 

[Zyrr]

Rememeber boys, the most important part of brobaganda is lying about why you did something

 

[Zyrr]

I mean, you stole two ships and you were being considered for being banned because Comr4de specifically told you not to do it again, and then you killed at the VERY least one newbie and shot at other dudes and were a general nuisance for our /egg/buddies, but you dindu nuffin wrong yeah?

 

[Lecic]

>steal one (1) ship at spawn and immediately return it
>shoot some guys who shot at your first
>kill one single newbie
>proceed to get killed multiple times and camped at spawn and stolen from by people complaining about me stealing from spawn

the most important part of brobaganda is lying about why you did something

 

[Zyrr]

One ship at spawn, you return it and get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again. So you steal ANOTHER ship from spawn, again, of course, because you have "absolutely no choice" even though you could have logged or waited for admins to reset your character. Killed a second time for buzzing around in our territory, and for laffs because of your Skype chat salt. So far, you haven't disappointed since

Again, this is basic common sense. Violate the spirit of rules and conduct and you WILL get smacked. BDLS doesn't want to make it a rule but he will if necessary.

 

[Lecic]

One ship at spawn, you return it and get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again. Killed a second time for "buzzing around in our territory" even though literally all you did there was get stuck in a planet plate and need to suicide back to spawn. So you do it again, of course, because you have "absolutely no choice" because Arstotzka is literally taking shifts to prevent you from leaving spawn.

fixed the order and events for you :^)
