    THE CURRENT RELEASE STATE OF THE GAME ACCORDING TO THE HUMBLE PLAYER

    To Starmade I came seeking good game,
    But they're bugging the game til' its dead,
    The Schine Team has it sooo easy,
    Schema's putting features in his game!

    The people of SM are hungry,
    But if, what a feast there could be!

    If we could creee-ate!
    A bug-free game-state!
    That works for the players,
    Like meeeee!

    I am the man who complains on the forums,
    as mods descend upon me from up a-bove,
    They come down!
    And they ban me around!
    For speaking of a game that's bugged-to-death

    Some times it seems that to report bugs is fine,
    And that schine will fix them as-they-fall
    Then I see that I have misjudged it
    I should not have post-ed af-ter all,

    Caaan I haaave a buuug fix please?
    Why must these infernal devs tease!

    I am the man who got banned by the mods,
    Who continue to ban from up a-bove,
    Come Muscovite! Let the players unite!
    A collective regime of posts n stuff.

    I work so hard in reporting the bugs!
    But the mods and Schine team don't give time!
    But the players will rise! We will not compromise!
    For we know that all those bugs must die!

    Long Live StarMade,
    Kill the Bugs!
    We sal-ute the council staff!

    I am the man! Who got banned on the forums!
    For complaining a-bout too many bugs.
    The bug on your plate is part of game-state,
    A collective regime of game-ending bugs.

    We have no choice in Schine fixing of the bugs,
    Under the schineteam's rule what they-say-goes!
    The rule of the game is that all bugs the same.
    And the hotfix must create un-broke-en game.

    Long live the mods! They love you!
    Sing these words or you know what they'll do!

    I am the man who fixes the bugs!
    That are made by the men in the-Schine-team.
    The fix is two weeks late!
    And blocks don't tes-sel-ate!
    But we're working to Schine Team's 5-year plan,

    I am the man who am the man who arranges the forums!
    That will make Schine do we say,
    The Schine Team has read!
    And the forums aren't dead!
    Let us point all our guns at next up-date,

    We shall play for-ever-more!
    We can start a PR War!

    I am the man who arranges the fix,
    that is coming in the next-up-date,

    Hip-Hip Hoorah!
    For the SSMR
    We are sending our spessmen back to game,

    I work so hard in arranging these lyrics!
    But each night I go home to my life in tears!
    What's the point of it all?
    When you're building a post-wall?
    And in front of my eyes it's disappeared.

    Point-less work for point-less game!
    This is one game I will not play!

    I AM THE MAN WHO GOT BANNED ON THE FORUMS!

    But tomorrow, I think I'll stay in bed,
    The forums are cold,
    And I've plenty of gold,
    But I'm standing in line, for hot-fix day.

    May-be we'd be bet-ter off,
    If we bought the dev team off!

    I am the man who playtests the game!
    As the nightlies descend from up-a-bove!
    THE SOURCE CODE IS FREE!
    SO MUCH FUN TIME FOR ME!
    TELL ME WHY SHOULD I CARE FOR THE SCHINE TEAM?
    THE SOURCE CODE IS FREE!
    SO MUCH FUN TIME FOR ME!
    TELL ME WHY SHOULD I CARE FOR THE SCHINE TEAM!?
    THE SCHINE TEAM!
    THE SCHINE TEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAM!

    And now the forum's down,
    The Schine Team frowns,
    There's new releases all-ov-er-town,
    They're here and there
    So don't despair,
    They're a release you'll like out there.

    The new-devs gave us crystal meth,
    And Schine Team bugged itself to death,
    And now open source's booted the devs in our way,

    So we reject free op-en code,
    And once again, Schine will rise,
    Prepare the Dock to-be un-furled,
    For we're succeeding from our world,

    We shall regain our pay-to-play,
    We shall obtain the released game,
    We shall embrace StarMade and toil,
    For-ever and a day.



    In reality this is a sort of protest to some of the game-breaking bugs and poor optimization that have plagued the game recently. I'd be willing to forgo shipyards in the next update for a round or two of bugfixes and optimizations. It seems to me that there is no reason for new features if they are going to be buggy and unusable.

    All in all, consider this comedy with a narrative or purpose, and it should not be taken entirely to heart.

    The devs do quite a number of bug fixes every update. Do you even read the changelogs?

    When the devs focus on fixes, people bitch about lack of content. When the devs focus on content, people bitch about the lack of fixes! When the devs try and balance it, people STILL bitch about the lack of fixes!

    It's an alpha game. Doing massive amounts of bug fixes is a WASTE OF TIME, because you're constantly adding new content. Huge bug fixing updates are for BETA.

    Beta may be for bug fixes and optimizations, but to allow the game to be buggy and at worst unplayable while attempting to service a community is not good for the game, its development, or community

    It would appear that few people actually read the meat of the post. Yeah, the song was a joke. The post was not.

    My opinion is well documented. I'll just add that some people have way to much time on their hands.

    Lets be honest Starmade's chief positive not to long ago was its stability for an Alpha. I look around and thats no longer the case.

    special forces, aka Lecic
    Ok, now I'm sad. Don't I get to be included? I'm rather proud to be part of the SDF. Making fun of people who think game development as all about what they want and nothing about the real world is half the fun of Early Access.

    Beautiful poem...
    Why not play other games my friend there are many and come back when they fix SM.
    When I get bored of a game I buy and play a new game.
    When the game is buggy I wait for a patch and play other games or do real life stuff.
