Announcements / New Donator Benefits
« on: July 20, 2015, 01:11:50 pm »
Donators and the new Ultra-Trusted Donator rank both now have access to the Gravity Hull Designator tool. This is a somewhat buggy tool that lets you define surfaces in your ship as floors. These floors will then pull you towards them with a configurable level of gravity. Basically its gravity plating that works at any angle and speed. Multi-person ships you can safely walk in while flying are here!

Introduce Yourself / Greetings Underlings!
« on: July 20, 2015, 08:37:19 am »
It is I, bloxgate, supreme forum overlord. In case it's not obvious, I'm the guy that pays for the server, fixes things, and yells at @Rain for accidentally turning on the map cycle because we're both to lazy to fix it! Depending on who you ask I'm working on 1 of 4 things: the gravity hull designator, resource transit system, new weapons that get more powerful with larger ships, or making ion beams go through stargates again. You can often find me playing some sort of space themed game on Steam, or doing one of the Half-Life coop mods with Rain and Dragonslayer. I'm currently doing a series of minecraft videos in a modpack I have created. Click here for the first episode. Any questions feel free to ask!

Announcements / [Clarification] Ultra-Trusted is NOT a Staff Rank
« on: July 19, 2015, 10:57:30 pm »
Although you usually have to apply for the rank in the staff-application boards, Ultra-Trusted is NOT a staff rank. I've been sent screenshots of ultra-trusted attempting to backseat moderate, threatening to ban people when they "become mod", and abusing vote kick on people for "violating" rule 6. As they are not staff they are not allowed to moderate or act in a staff capability, and they are not the applicable groups for rule 6. If this continues ultra-trusted will be severely reduced in rank benefits.

Expression 2 (E2) Code / Bloxgate's Holographic Radar!
« on: July 02, 2015, 03:35:32 pm »
A while back @THEORY101 challenged me to improve a small planet/player detecting e2 I'd made to let you know if planets were habitable, and where peoples ships where. All that neat stuff. I finished it and have been holding onto it for a while. Some of you have probably seen me using it, or one of my ships with it. I've finally decided to release it here, along with instructions on how to get it working.


Requirements:
Once you have downloaded and installed those, download the attached E2 and spawn it in.


Legend:
  • Planet colors represent temperature
  • Small opaque blue spheres are players
  • Green cubes are vehicles
  • Red cylinders are weapons
  • Teal tetrahedron is your position

Edit: Alright everyone, I'm back now (a bit early).Hey everyone, I'm going to be out of town until Monday. I'll have internet access so I'll be checking in on the forums from time to time, and might be playing on steam. However I won't have the internet speed or quality necessary for online games consistently so don't expect me to come on to fix anything. If you need things done ask @Rain .

Announcements / New Policy For Staff Members
« on: June 07, 2015, 02:39:21 pm »
Failure to read this new policy will not make you immune to it, no exceptions
As of June 7th, staff members may not violate existing limits for weapons or entities on ships. This includes destiny turrets, staff weapons, ion beam cannons, and gas systems generators. The following exceptions will be allowed:
  • You may have up to 300 props, so you can still build your giant ships.
  • You may have 4 drone launcher platforms OR 4 regular drone launchers OR a mix of the two where the total is less than or equal to 4.
  • You may use more than 3 chairs since they don't really have much impact on anything.
Confirmed failure to comply, is an immediate demotion to Moderator or Trusted depending on your existing rank.

Announcements / Playtime Tracking Works (For Real This Time)
« on: April 14, 2015, 01:37:25 am »
I've finally nailed down the problem. Looks like the time is being properly saved to the database now, although the time reported by the command may be a quite a bit off. However the database is the important part, so all should be good.  ;D
