Phenomenal, I can\'t wait. Great refining that is definetly a necessity for a community to grow further.

 

[Calbiri]

Yes

 

[Cboehme]

Pardon my drooling.

Contests will be site run, as winners will receive official contest badges. There will be of course other player run contests that won\'t be official.



I will put up a list of the full set of forum sections and subsections available to a user.

 

[DukeofRealms]

Added all the forum categories, suggestions would be great.

What\'s with the streaming example pic? Are those purple salvage lasers?

 

[GROOV3ST3R]

:D

 

[Azurite]

Are there any set in stone examples or ideas of badges that members could obtain in the near future? Maybe share ways to get them, etc? Curious ^_^

 

[DukeofRealms]

Undecided as of now, as we want to get the badge system nailed first. But things along the line of most downloaded content, amount of wiki articles basically anything that is contributing to the community. Official competitions will provide forum badges as well.

it would be good if there was a server section similar to http://starmade-servers.com/ but made pretty by you and included in the all in one website of starmade

 

[DukeofRealms]

I\'m thinking about that actually, still haven\'t decided on whether we will do it. In any case it will be a fairly basic system, not based on voting but average online players.

 

[aceface]

nice!

I do most my foruming on my iPhone, will the new site be any better for mobile device users?

 

[DukeofRealms]

And yes.

Well then. A Misc forum below StarMade Creations. This would be the place for StarMade related content, like software that isn\'t a mod but useful to StarMade players in another way. Also, I think the category should be renamed, because \"StarMade Creations\" does sound to me like \"stuff done with StarMade\" (like ships). May I suggest something like StarMade Modding?



And since I\'m not sure how this content hub is planned: We still need a place where we simply can exchange screenshots, without the need of uploading ships or something.

Will there be a notifications thingy like the globe on facebook? Because I find it very annoying having to check individual ships uploads/forum posts/news feeds if someone has commented on any of them or replied to any of my own comments.

 

[DukeofRealms]

Yes, there are notifications.

 

[DukeofRealms]

Third Party Software can be supported as a subsection under modding, as for changing a category name they were chosen by agreements with testers. That will have to be discussed by them.



That\'s what the forum area is for, CC is downloadable content. Forums sections are for showing off ships and what not.

Xenforo, good choice!
