StarMade 0.159 Fixes & Mail System

Hello players,

another update is done. This update should finally fix the rollback (saving) bug, that was happening on servers for some time. I can't say yet if it's 100% fixed as there is no real method to trigger it on purpose, but I'm fairly confident.

The crafting system is also mostly done in terms of implementation (it's not yet active in game though).

Mailing System

Players (and the system) can now finally send mail to other players even if they are not online. All data is stored in the database and consistent over logouts or server restarts.

You can open the message panel with F4 (until i find a better spot in the GUI). A message will popup if you have new mail.

Also as a first application for system mail, all players of the affected factions will now receive mail if war is declared.

Fixes and Balance

Several fixes have been done. You can look up the exact status at http://bugs.star-made.org.

Thrust and shields have been buffed more.

For people wanting thrust to less effect the max speed on servers with high max speed, please ask your admin to lower the linear damping. A new default value has been set, but it will not apply on existing servers (only when installing new).

As always: Nothing is final and more balancing is still to be done.

 

Thanks for playing StarMade,
