Starbound 1.0: First modder to fix the game wins being able to play a good game

If I did put up a server, how many slots do you think we'd need? I'm thinking just 12 at first, and maybe bump up to 24 if demand is there. I am in the minority in that I am genuinely excited to play 1.0. Judging by the attitude of this thread, I don't imagine we'd need a large server, at least at first.

I'd plan for the server to be heavily modded, not only with gameplay fixes, but expansions into new features as well. I recognize that a lot of people here are disappointed with some things the game does now, but there is a really solid foundation game here, and the modding is very flexible. I'm sure we could get the game the way we'd want pretty easily.

Probably start out password-protected for Goon only, but then once it gets up on its feet, open it up to public with reserved spots or something I don't know.

http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/game-servers/sb-starbound/ - 70% off on servers, this looks like a good way to go.

I hope modding is easy and good because it could actually be an OK platform

afaik one of their major things way back was to have the game very moddable, but who knows

Modding is actually very good and easy and people have done some cool things. Unlike Tiy. Nice.

Well the original idea for it was that it was some PvP sector run off a central server. Seeing as how something like that being around would have been obvious if you'd played through the game, then is the new endgame just "the end of the plot" or is there more to do afterwards that would keep you playing?

The endgame is the same as the midgame and early game. Pillage radically different but somehow extremely samey worlds for a resource you need. Maybe spend some time tweaking your ship or a colony if you want. There's no real reason to do the plot quests and no payoff.

Starbound: Into the blue again (after the money's gone)

this is pretty powerful but I'm hesitant to make a Talking Heads reference directly in the thread title. I'm probably going to put this in the OP though:

Are there plans to have a Goon server for the game? If not, I might be willing to put one up, if there is enough interest.

if you make a server I'll put it in the OP

All I'm saying is a guy tried to take a thing that already seemed to be on the right track and "improve" it, only to hilariously mismanage the entire affair and make completely unnecessary and nonsensical changes to the original plan the entire way. And despite the guy making outright stupid decisions constantly, he inexplicably has a steady fanbase who thinks he can do no wrong.

I read most of this. If you can make your own fun, I'm sure you can find something fun to do in Starbound. But why not do it in a game with a better actual game underpinning it.

I was sent on a quest to kill a bandit lord named Zac in retribution for his attempt to steal an entire ocean. He surrendered just before I finished flamethrowering him to death, and when I spoke to him, he offered to join my crew. Zac the ocean thief is my head of security now.

This game has undergone a few bone-headed changes during its development, but it's nice to see that it can still be fun to chill and explore planets every once in a while. :)
