Awesome, thank you to the devs for all the hard work.

Woo! Finally.

EDIT-

"Transporter Beacon
The transporter beacon is a personal tool that enables the user to warp to a transporter as long as the vessel is in vicinity. Just use its beam to mark the transporter controller you want to be warped to, then open your inventory, right click on the item, and hit ‘transport’ to be warped to that transporter. This is very handy for exploration without a proper way to get back. In a future update there will also be a ship beam that lets the player set a manual target for a transporter."

God dammit. Why? I was hoping this would NOT be a thing, so that shuttles would at least have some use still. Nope. Are ground-based creatures or hostiles even going to be an issue with this? Just warp back up to your ship if you find a nasty alien in a cave!

I also don't see anything about damage beam range fixes.

Good thinking with being able to close your transporters away from public access, I was about to have a panic attack about boarding as a cheap anti-shield mechanic for a second there.

Spoiler: You know that moment you're really not expecting an update? Yea...

 

[SchnellBier]

Looking forward to more frequent releases.

This update gives me some ideas, love the asteroid regen too.

Is there some special way to update now? My linux server says:

checking your version 20150907_154125 against latest 20150907_154125 = 0
You Are Already on the Newest Version: use -force to force an update

# java -jar ./StarMade-Starter.jar -nogui -force​

 

[raynor009]

And where do I type that # java -jar ./StarMade-Starter.jar -nogui -force

I'm really anxious to start playing again :D

Thank you for fixing asteroid regen! I was about to completely abandon crafting.

That is(was?) the way to update the Linux Starmade server. You may be wanting the client?

"Raycasting Optimizations, aka a lot less lag from extensive mining
Planet eating miners that in the past brought down a server in seconds now only create a fraction of the lag they did before."
We can have giant salvagers again.

You can't transport down to planets without a viable transport pad. Shuttles will still be useful.

 

[Andir]

The windows client launcher is not detecting a new version either. I think someone forgot to update the version files...

WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I think you are referring to Bastet

One word. Cargo.

Yet.

In a future update there will also be a ship beam that lets the player set a manual target for a transporter

T384 Power/Shield Drain and supply beams power issues

Someone please start testing docked reactors and dock shield generators. (I've been putting off learning this cuz of this bug)

Do astronauts trigger race gates? Just ships? Both?

The post doesn't say specifically, but I know they mentioned it. So, just for confirmation, is the new station in this update?

I was hoping planet eaters would stay broken.
Asteroid respawn is a good thing, for now. Glad it won't be permanent.
I need to start testing my shipyards, see how much these bug fixes changed/made better.


Over all... Yes!

I think you are referring to Bastet

Blasphemy!
