The server appears to have crashed

The server last talked to me at Wed Sep 2 05:56:33 2015 (UTC).

Server went to bed...

Restart scripts are good and all, but what if the server gets corrupted data and we all get sent back a day because of it? They are making the best move in this regard.

If the server has corrupted data, then we roll back. It's actually pretty standard. In the mean time, we get to play and learn. And maybe get our money's worth.

as for your rebuttle to the other statements, if you cant handle a small dev team in the first weak of a new launch with untested software having problems then you would better be off playing a game made by a larger company.

This is not my first alpha. This is not my first small dev team. This is also not the first indie game I've played that had a poor business model.

My problem is not with the crashing or lack of documentation. These are issues, yes. Glossing over them or ignoring them doesn't make them go away.
My problem is with the fact that they expect payment. This game is not ready for a payment plan.

I bought StarMade within 12 hours. I will not be paying for this anytime soon.

Well, Jorb is awake you impatient bastards... only a matter of time.

That said, yes, it has crashed twice today, but on previous days it hasn't been crashing. It was unlucky you chose today to start.

Maybe, but look at it from my perspective.
I hear about this new game, it sounds good enough for me to at least check out. It crashes twice before I can figure out what I'm doing.

Very bad first impression.

well the you have a bad impression based off of something that happens very often in small dev teams

So Tech, would there ever be a chance Loftar could teach a Moderator to do what he does with the server in terms of retstarting it / finding the problem?

Maybe Jorb but definitely not one of the current mods. We're janitors at our best and trained monkeys the rest of the time. Learning to restart the server is beyond us. =)

Let me tell you where you can stick your (insert air quotation marks here) "Bad first impression". With my smart arse retort out of the way... I am sorry you have had problems with a game most of us have known and loved forever. And it's completely different than previous versions or salem for that matter. It's going to take time to work out the bugs. Be glad we get to keep playing while they work on things. They started this as a "just for fun" project that they've graciously shared with us. Sit back, drink a beer/tea/soda... relax and be at peace knowing that unlike other MMO's, our Dev's actually give a damn and work pretty quickly to answer our questions and solve problems. Or maybe you are what caused the game to crash.... But seriously, only I have that skill.
