Yeah at this point I'm sure a dedicated server would work fine.

You can make the server a whitelist server based on the steam community.

ah and btw cant we make the ded-server password protected?? *just a guess* then we could build our stuff and get the whole thing online when all are ready. i mean... we are still in pre-prep-phase. my station will nevah be online when i dont have access to it just because you lazy basterds are 7 hours younger than i am XD

It's a matter of "what's the point?" There is nothing to achieve other than mining for ore at this time. Having the server filled with players won't change anything if the only true goal is to build more. Time is the only thing that will solve this. The game is horribly unbalanced, and to have something you spent 5 hours working on be destroyed by some griefer in 2 seconds = Not a good experience. Perhaps if there was experience to gain for killing players and destroying outposts or something there would be a point to playing as there would be character progression but as of now, we just don't see the point.

As I said, the game is unplayable. There are no goals, the lag is unbelievable for most of us and the building is just tedious in it's current state. You can have your own opinion but ours is that the game is currently a bore-fest with no redeeming multiplayer qualities.

Varas, that's part of the survival aspect, the threat of other players. If you only had it online when we we're in, then honestly its no different from solo creative mode. You gotta be willing to have a few toys being broken :) And if there is too much griefing, a simple rollback can be implemented.

There is hope though........

Not interested in hosting a dedicated server when all that will do is enable people to join while we are offline and destroy all our hard work without a battle. This game does not have enough yet in terms of being able to defend your stuff when you aren't online. Worst part is the fact that things take half the time to destroy that they take to build, so it really is not worth the risk...For any of us. That is why posting events to notify the entire group the start and end time of the sessions is the best course of action. As for right now, the game itself is void of content and is frankly, rather boring. Until more is added to improve gameplay and optimization (Not all of us have $3000 computers), I really can't see the server being up until that point is reached. Perhaps here and there we will join to add community structures to the server to build it up but other than that, as for right now, this game feels tedious to play.

just played on some online games of SE. If you have a half decent dedicated server, then this game runs amazingly well. It can be played with empires :)
(Also, google this so you know how, all players are capable of hosting SE dedicated servers since its a function shipped with every SE download).

Alrightey then, as long as the interest is still here then so will I be :)

Awesome. I can assure you, "Fornax" is not over, it has only just begun. I suggest to all to just keep building things in your world because I have no problem with copy and pasting your stuff into Fornax when the game IS a little more playable in a multiplayer sense.

we are kind of unfortunate. It really seems like no one really is interested atm. I know it is a real pain in the a** with the multiplayer bugs (flipping things that have rotors etc) but no ideas lately... so sad because i think it has real potential. i would like to see the F.E Badge or/and Banner. I would like to read and see some other shipmodels- or small outpost-concepts. Im still busy with the F.E.LV-002 and its still much work to do until its at least half functunal but im working on it every time i play SE. Still need some big ship docking points, guns, crew-quarters, more guns and manny more. but i won't leave this baby dead in space.
I promise you that!

It would if people actually commented regularily and asked about it but the only people that seem interested are Ragnar and yourself...lol. Not only that, both Zeke and I are feeling that this game is currently kind of unplayable what with the horrible optimization and lag which is a result of this. I will keep you posted though.

Is this server ever coming online? lol

Thing is, we have been completely addicted to Mount and Blade for the past 4 days. Only reason why the server has not been up. There are times when we start up the server on a whim. It's not always scheduled because to be honest, if something comes up I don't want to have to break the event. I'll give you better notice though. If more people were asking about the server I would be more inclined to set sheduled events, but there are only about 3 of you who actually comment.

Hey, no problem. I understand that. i mean the time difference is huge btw. but if it could be at least a bit sceduled, at least several days or so before event, i could plan to make the night through. but dont break your head, i still wanna finish that station XD

T - Minus 5....4....3....2....1

P.S: Sorry Ragnar. Sometimes the sessions will be at times when you aren't available and I apologize. Depends on the other admin at times. Add "Zeke_Kilwell" if you have any questions when I'm not around.

When is the server next going to be up?

okay, its maybe a bit annoying vor somebody but pls remember that i live at GMT +1 and cant join when im sleeping... because when you last started a Session i wanted to join you did it on Sunday enening in Canada... but it was monday 1:30am in germany.

thx for noticeing and Yager out.

will there be an event today?

My Server "A New Hope" (survival) is open for every friend and group members. if you want to join but arent befriended just send a request.

just if you want 2 play and have some survival fun but this could be implemented maybe to the group server or added as a subsector to our groupserver world if and when they implement the galaxy (hope for it sooo hard)

can you imagine its finally factions!!

xCherryBombx: Unfortunately no one has received the update yet.

Sounds good Ragnar.

have any of your guys, got the new update yet :D?

thx im mostly online at this time a week (all GMT +1 i have a time shift of +7h to New York))

monday to thursday: 4pm to 7pm
friday: 1pm to 7pm
saturday: 8am to 2pm
and sometimes sundays

but i would try to make free more time for serious projects or events just let me know that i can plan (and convince my girlfriend ;-) )

Ragnar, you are welcome anytime. I will take into consideration your time zone difference and let you know at least a day ahead of time. It will be posted as an event + announcement.

Hello guys if you dont mind i could join you on saturday and sunday maybe friday too when would you start? Btw im from Germany so its GMT +1 i think. but im ready and whelding XD

Perhaps tonight for a bit to get things started, but if not it will be tomorrow. I will post start times tonight. (I would start it up right now for us two but I have to head out in about 40 minutes so it wouldn't be worth it really.)

hmm okay, when are you going to run it again? cause id very much like to get started on the space station

The server had been created over 3 weeks ago and it's a survival mode server. I won't be creating a new one due to the fact that I already put 3 weeks worth of building into it.

that sounds like a good rule, should we use creative mode to create the base or build it from scratch like everyone else?

That sounds both acceptable and reasonable. If people want to break the laws and attack the central station in order to pillage it, I would have no problem with that either. Although you will be immediately deemed "hostile" and will be KOS.

for this server thing, id like to be one of the people to help set up a central space station that is a no combat zone, and a trading and communication zone for people on the server, this would need to be managed by admins too in order to properly work
