StarMade - On the long road to Beta!

[Slab Bulkhead]

the steam demo is the full game, for now. eventually, the game will stop being free.

So there is literally nothing different between the demo and the version you pay $14 for?

Correct

[Tudoreleu]

except the demo will eventually stop existing and you'll have to buy the game (presumably, at a higher price than you can currently)

so what time do you guys usually get on?

[comr4de]

Hahaha, it's kind of a richard move for cypher to suggest you join us because we are all swamped with finals/exams

And the other half of us are on strike because our mother faction is lazy and doesn't do stuff

Ask for TG Technocracy, mail them and tell them you have my approval to join

[Frequency]

will do

eventually

We're back with regular updates! This last update finally implements inventory limits. The days of carrying a battleship in your pocket are over. Also, magnetic contact docking has now been added as an additional way to dock your ship. The rail docking beam will remain but you can also dock by moving your rail docker close to the rail block.

REDISTRIBUTE YOUR HYPE THRUSTERS TO FULL ACCELERATION

Bump! Faction permissions have been added. Finally, a way to protect your cargo.

Other changes include new keybindings, a "Personal" faction rank for factionless players, and public docks on advanced TG shops.

Also I'm adding this to the OP but keep this thread drama free please. It died down in here a while ago but it blew up elsewhere on the forums quite recently.

3d spessman games are just magnets for salty drama it seems

This week's update is a little lighter than normal, with major changes to sun damage mechanics and new astronaut item models. However! certain INFURIATING bugs have finally been squashed, notably the raycasting bug with beams.

Also, I'm working with BDLS on a no-shields-on-ships server for starmade. Shields will still be allowed on stations, so that they stand a chance against an enemy assault. Here's a video of a battle using the shield-less config.
