Need help bring StarMade Attention to my Community. Lots of Questions.

Sounds like you played some shitty servers my friend. I'm sorry to hear that. Just because I disable Upload on the server for the first version does not mean I will on the 2nd or third. Since our players are brand new I see no need for it for the first. Now you are confusing me can plays download their blueprints off the server without me or do I need to give it to them. I assume anyone can locally save it?

Yes, they can locally save it.

Thank you that is what really matters

For version 2.0 will come across that when it happens. Maybe they will have a server backup / permission system later that can be easily converted or will have to just use the trust system. But since its our first we should be fine.

Quite the opposite - I've played on most of the best servers. The thing is, the better a server is the more people use it, and the more players there are the faster the server gets choked with old players that left, old factions that died, old blueprints nobody wants and old ships and stations. Good servers clear this out (by resetting the universe every month or 2). Bad servers don't have so many players and/or don't clear any of it out.

Hopefully one day maybe, StarMade might keep track and "auto-delete" things that haven't been used for 30+ days to keep itself clean. It currently doesn't.

This should've taken you about 30 seconds to test for yourself. "ALLOW_UPLOAD_FROM_LOCAL_BLUEPRINTS = false" only disables uploads. Downloads are not uploads, so it doesn't disable downloads, and players can still save their work (and upload it to someone else's server).

Is there a way to protect an entire system rather then just a sector?

/sector_chmod 0 0 0 + protected I assume normal command.
