Can't connect either, server's probably down.

[forsaken1111]

Yeah I was doing some stuff with the server box. I'm bringing up a new world tonight btw.

[NullForceOmega]

I don't know why, but my connection to the server is really laggy when anywhere near a planet, this is strange because until now I have never lagged out near anything.

[SquatchHammer]

Well since the restart I had an adventure.

Spoiler: What the fuck just happend. (click to show/hide)

Holy fucking shit. I'm shooting an Isenth with my pistol.

Holy fucking shit, I just killed it.

Story behind it begins with me logging on to the server and building my crap ship to get my Keen back. Well found out there is a pirate group nearby and was stupid enough to do a flyby. Needless to say I was being chased, and directed into a pirate base. Well I got killed.

Popped back at spawn, thinking aw fuck I'm screwed when spotting an Isenth coming at me so i ducked behind the station. Well for some reason the A.I. wigged the fuck out.  Seeing my psychological attack had worked, I seized the opportunity to attack the best way I can.... Charging forth as any Imperial Guard Commisar in tank wielding a sword would do. Well in the end, I am up a space ship.

Note, thanks to Oblivion for saving the day for bay12, so the server is now safe to blow up. Another note, He said the station was a little op.

World reset?

Forsaken, you still have the old catalog of ship blueprints from before purging them, right? I had a legionary battleship blueprint (not the demigod... I can't remember the name though.) that I loved, but never downloaded! Could you please send me a copy? ;-;

[forsaken1111]

Server is up.

Forsaken, please could you raise the speed limit again?

Speed raised.

I will look. No promises. I did give a bit of warning.

[Mono124]

I'm getting the same thing. Is it down?

[Mech#4]

Yes, is the host:port numbers still the same as they were back in August/September? Version 0.0943 yes?

[forsaken1111]

Its back up now. That was my fault.

I have a shipyards thread in the Starmade forums screenshot thread. with all the stats, more pictures and download links.

My latest project is a meta-armored ship core room. I'm heavily abusing the docking code to create armor that is 3-6 (or so) blocks 'thick' forced to occupy the same cube space though through docking clipping backed up by a checkerboard of faction modules around a 3x3x4 room containing the core (and whatever else) wrapped in a layer of power blocks and shield dispersers. It's weird but it's working and loads in without flying apart. Now I just need a design idea for a cruiser to wrap around it.

Does no one except me go on the server?

[NullForceOmega]

I've been having serious lag problems on the server lately, I keep getting randomly disconnected too.  I think it's on my side, my connection has been slowly weakening, over the last week.  For anyone who doesn't know, there are several upgraded pirate stations near spawn, and for no apparent reason the whole of the -1 system lags to hell (at least for me)

[NullForceOmega]

I want to log on, I would love to hang around and build stuff all day long, but I CAN'T!  As i said, my connection is shot to hell and the whole server lags me really badly, like 2000+ ping badly, and I cannot figure out why, I have checked everything from our router to each individual setting in StarMade and on my computer.  I can't hang out if I get d'conned every five minutes while sitting stock still.

I logged onto the server for the first time since the reset, and in that time I have managed to colonize a bit of the new world in the name of Team Space Pirate Wizard.

Spoiler: And it looks like I'm not the only one who's done a bit of colonizing. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Though there are some new faces around. (click to show/hide)

But enough about those other people; let's talk about what I've done.

Spoiler: I originally tried sniping at this station's turrets with a big gun capable of shooting out of their range, but I think the numerous shield blocks it sports made that a bit harder (also, you may have noticed the stealth ship in the background I built to scout out the damage I was doing. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: This is the turret I had actually managed to hit. It seems I managed to do some damage, but I wasn't close enough to get a really good shot at the core. (click to show/hide)

I decided to get closer so that I could actually line up my shots properly, but went a little too fast and, since the ship wasn't shielded and there weren't too many thrusters on the thing, I wasn't able to get out fast enough to avoid my gun ship being torn apart my turret fire.

Spoiler: Fortunately I still had my stealth ship. Very carefully, I maneuvered to a spot where I felt like I'd have some protection if the turrets opened fire. (click to show/hide)

One at a time, I turned the cloaker and the jammer on and off, noticing no reaction from the turrets. Then I turned them both off, and noticed the turrets moving! I immediately reactivated them, but eventually, due to perhaps scientific curiousity, I decided to see what would happen if I kept myself visible a little while more. The turrets wiggled, but I realized that they could not turn inward to shoot at me. The station was at my mercy!

Unfortunately, I found my pistol to be a bit too merciful too overcome the stations shields. I needed some more firepower, but I had used up all my AMCs making the gun ship that got blown up. So, after extracting myself to get to a store, a close call with a pirate fleet, and the same song and dance routine as before, I was back in place and built myself a proper piece to take out the station's faction module.

And after going through all that to take the station down, and since I didn't have a better place to stash the loot anyway, I decide to make the station into my homebase.

Spoiler: It didn't hurt that it's at the center of the universe too. (click to show/hide)
