Site Staff Update

[Schine]

Greetings Astronauts!

Over the past 7 months the site team here have been patrolling the forums, chat, IRC and Community Content areas. So far with the current site staff, we've been able to address most issues within an acceptable time.

However, we can not always expect to have the same traffic and members. For reasons that can not be shared at this point in time, the site team are expecting an increase in forum traffic in the near future. Because of this, we are increasing the site staff team with members from the community and other experienced users outside of it.

Changes in Moderation Team:

Moderator: @Dalmont
Well known member of the community, awesome ship builder.

Moderator: @Raiben

Interesting new additions. I hope that I'll see you two around chat and the forums more often @Raiben @Dalmont ! (Sorry kojinus, but I just don't know you :p)

Hazing time!

Well I hope the new mods settle in well, and on the 'site getting lots of new members, we can't say why' is it a yogstrain kinda thing? WHy can't you tell us? You've just piqued my interest now...

It's not that interesting, just a hunch I have

Or is it?

If we're going to have loads of new people coming shortly, I think server performance, default settings and the tutorial should be prioritized (to make it as easy as possible for new players to set up new servers, and let current servers handle the load better) Maybe a "guide to setting up or buying a server for dummies".

Also, a big "64 bit java is strongly recommended, uninstall your 32 bit java (link to java)" on the downloads page would prevent half of the "starmade doesn't work" threads.

Those who know have been sworn to secrecy.

I think that means that if they added ONE little space creature and it sparked off a whole handful of conversations then the huge pile of stuff that they're about to add is going to make the forums explode.

That's not a bad idea. I'll add an article on the wiki that explains how to increase performance.

But you do realise that only 64 bit computers can have 64 bit java, right?

 

[Reilly Reese]

Yummy

Welcome to the forums @Kojinus

 

[Commodore]

Yeah, but really, most computers are 64 bit now, and to run starmade on 32 bit java you need to use sufficiently low texture settings etc.

Not necessarily. i have 32 bit java and run 128 textures 2048 bacground, 3000 view distance... Only shadows are off.

Congratulations to the new mods.

 

[Criss]

The universe update is taking a lot longer than I anticipated. I think schema is working on more than just that and plans on implementing a much larger update than we are all anticipating.

Congrats everyone. I'm sure we will manage to get you facepalming in no time. :P

Oh hell, some of the Mushroomfleet server staff is getting like, official positions.
Movin' on up.

 

[Mariux]

This game is getting taken over by mushroomfleet...

 

[Captain_Boroski]

Oh golly what sort of back-room dealing has schema been busying himself with?
My bet is on a new game magazine review.

Congrats to the new mods, and welcome to the ranks of the Schema slaves eternally hated SMD mods.
