Starport: Galactic Empires

The admirals club isn't required to use it, you just use the /scream command and it automatically takes the tokens.

No, it's still there. Are you having a problem with it? Thanks for announcing futbol

Yeah, this was my bad. Trying to fix things and I made them worse for about 20 hours. This should be a thing of the past now.

Costing us a ton of tokens, please fix.

Sorry about that, getting fixed now.

Hydra is incredibly laggy. You hit enter and bounce off the port into the system, only to find you show up in port. Flying around my ship bounced from one side of the system to the other. Tonight an NPC almost killed me. I would get away, then bounce right back to in front of it again. I couldn't l...

Have you tried out the new "Quick Re-Ship" button in Starbases? What do you think of it?

It's supposed to save a bunch of clicks by letting the port merchant outfit your ship for you, which seems especially important in blitz style games.

I've been thinking about this for the last couple years and a lot of players have approved it so far. What about a blackhole you can buy with tokens or cash (that has to be decided by toonces i guess) that takes you to the location of your choice? It may only work once or works 2 ways (one to go an...

Hmm small server outage this afternoon. Everything's back up now.

This is me each morning opening up the support email box:

Neato. All ships or only certain types? Can one reship at these planets? Oh, and since you're checking this thread, have you seen my idea? I'm just wondering what you think about it. http://www.starportgame.com/sgeforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21741 Yeah you can re-ship there too. It's only the hulls t...

I've heard rumors toonces is adding in a make-your-own-npc-slaves feature. Maybe that will lead to more rts elements. And I'd love to see the design. The basic idea is build ships at the weapons factory, and if you want you can launch them as drones. Fighter class ships would defend planets and sys...

It's back up now. I will do some things to try to make sure this unfortunate incident isn't repeated.

Thanks for your patience.

MrMcZ wrote::O its about time tooonces admits sh!t is his server and not all of us.... youre sure its not every one of us?

I still think it's every one of you.

Pay no attention to the errors. It's the servers not you. You don't need to re-install or anything. The only thing to do is wait for me to get done with the maintenance. We're about halfway through the server swap, so hopefully it'll be back up ASAP. I think this may be a new record for down time. P...

There was a hardware failure on my main server machine, so I'm working with my data center to get the service back up and running.

Sorry about the down time. Hopefully we will get back up in 5 to 10 hours or less. Thanks for your patience.

The deal applies when the money for tokens is received from paypal, to the destination address support@starportgame.com

Ok, should be fixed now.

If you blew up by this feel free to contact support for your reimbursement prize.

this is the third thread about this topic? On average on these forums there is about one post a day, I dont understand how people somehow miss them. So then what the hell is going on. Toonces buttfucked us. I updated most of the weapons factories to restore stockpiles. Hope this helps ya, and sorry...

I like that one, thanks duece.

Congrats, pbhead, you are the first user to ever purchase Admiral Tokens with Bitcoin.

We can accept bitcoin for admiral tokens. The address to send coin to for admiral tokens is: 1GhHt7unhjUjunTek4L1xs1ovQXeKgQ48c You will need to email support@starportgame.com or otherwise contact me in some way to tell me which starport login name matches the bitcoin address you are sending the bit...

duece wrote:Usually when a skip happens every player experiences it identically. Individual ping doesn't seem to matter a lot.

If that is the case then that's a good clue. Also if it happens more on golden age than other galaxies that's also a clue. I will look into this asap.

thanks for the reports, keep em coming

would be great to know your /ping statistics when this is happening

If you don't log into the game for 45 days is you character deleted? I think it's 60 days, unless there are admiral tokens on the account or admiral token purchases in the account's history. In that case the character will remain for an extra amount of time according to the number of tokens. The lo...

Looks like the site you used to host the image doesn't allow linking ("hot-linking") to their pictures (they probably want people to have to visit their site).

I suggest imgur.com for image hosting. They allow linking.

You should send an email to support@starportgame.com for fastest response. Remember to always include your login name when contacting support so we can look up your account.

putting a text formatting code for color change in three number strings separated by commas is a lot different than running lines of actual programming code through a rich-text parser, so no, there are no features that aggressive in the text codes protocol. Maybe someday, until then sorry

WeGotDeathStar wrote:Yup that's why I do not like this patch nor see a reason for it.

The reason is to promote invasion, especially in nearby territory. It also seems a natural addition that was easy enough to implement and adds strategic depth to the possibilities of how to go to war, invade, and expand an empire.

The dates for the 2013 championships have been announced:
