We went to Denver last week to empty out the server cabinets. It was a whirlwind trip: lots of driving, disassembly of the servers, dinner with the kids and grand kids, then lots more driving back home the next day.

Our half-height server cabinet was wrapped in plastic when it was stored in the barn nine years ago. It almost perfectly accommodated the servers with only one U slot left over.

It makes a nice trophy but I do not plan to add the 10kw of power to the barn that would be needed to turn them all on. That would only be the beginning as HVAC would be needed and and and... Maybe it will find a new home some day but that's not likely.

Nothing has been plugged in yet because the barn is a total disaster at the moment. Lumber is stacked and piled everywhere for a fencing project. Paula and I finally finished staining all the boards yesterday. That was a ton of work, hundreds of boards, scores of heavy 6x6 posts, gallons of wood stain. The server got parked where it wasn't in the way and there it sits until the din subsides to the usual dull roar.

I have a bug where my space fighters won't increase or decrease thrust at all with page up/down. I can fly up and down, side to side, and rotate, but there's no way to increase thrust. It's like the page up and page down buttons have stopped working. I'm having no luck figuring out why this is happening yet

Scope: Cities, Decay


Bug: Per a post in Haxus dated 1-02-2021 he thought decay was not a thing in the solo game. 


Current remedy: Add all systems to land per usual


Steps to reproduce:
1. Build a city
2. Follow normal decay rules and leave the city alone
3. Moral will dip after some time.
4. Check history report and find decay.


Supporting docs:

From what I've read, Hazeron Starship will eventually support multiplayer again... When that happens, I'd love to see a sever released that can run on a Raspberry Pi 4, or even a Raspberry Pi 4 cluster. It would be great keeping a persistent world running on a 4 core 8 GB system with usb or network storage., and then add a few extra Pi's to offload more solar system simulations should a server get popular. It would also be good to have options to configure the number of officers a world generates, what planets can generate officers (such as population size based), and how many avatars a login can have as a configuration options.

As much fun as it is playing Hazeron Starship solo, it really is meant to be multiplayer. The game definitely has it's issues that need to be addressed before it is public on Steam (the whole chat/hail interaction needs an overhaul, and having to fly/walk into a transporter beam isn't very intuitive--especially when there is more than one beam).

Scope: Spacecraft Sensor Sound, Transporters, Underwater, Domes


Bug: Beaming into a Underwater Dome, the spacecraft sensor sound continues to play in the background. 


Current remedy: After beaming down, switch alts, and then switch back.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Build a dome underwater.
2. Get the coordinates to beam into it. 
3. Beam into it. 
4. Listen to the spacecraft sensor sounds
5. Switch alts
6. Switch back
  6a. Sensor sound should be gone. 
       

Ship: Raptor/Marauder

Author: Kami

Design Role: Light Multi-Purpose / Exploration Ship

I use debian based system. Previously, I was able to launch SOH, but now I'm unable to start Starship. All needed program packages listed in old download page are installed.

Scope: Fighter Craft, Space Transport, Rocket, Airports, Domes, Hostile Atmospheres 


Bug: Landing any vehicle, per the scope above, are not safe at the airport from hostile environments. However moving them inside of domes is safe.  


Current remedy:  None

Steps to reproduce:
1. Take any of the objects in the scope 
2. Landing object at airport on a planet with a hostile atmosphere
3. Take damage
4. Move object inside of dome, take no damage

Suggested:
 So I think this is a bug. Spacecraft/Spaceships are safe from atmospheric damage while landed at an airport, It "should" extend to other craft unless this is by design.

If it's by design, please let me know and I will delete this thread

When opening "Choose Library Texture" with Decals and Signs selected, UI glitches as shown in video. Select another texture, resize, and window snaps back into correct position (not shown in video, discovered after recording). Then, select Decals and Signs again, and it's all good again, with the texture appearing much smaller than it did initially.

Scope: Save Games


Bug: Save games are deleted after a failed load of the game


Current remedy:  Use disk shadow copies or use a automated backup script to copy the data someplace else at a given interval

Steps to reproduce:
--I don't think this can be reproduced at will--
1. Load game
2. If Game get's stuck loading (Excessive load time, 5 minutes +) ((In my case I waited 10 minutes))
3. Close the game
4. Re-launch game and...find that all the avatars are missing
5. Verify that  ((Win)) "%userprofile%\Hazeron Starship\Saved Games\A1001100 is now ~1KB or less. 
       

Suggested:
- Implement a auto-save feature (configurable in game menus) 
- Implement a auto rotation archive feature
   - Keep last 3 saves
     - Perhaps rename the save file A1001100.1 .2 .3 and so on. 
     - Should something go wrong, end users can simply delete A1001100 and rename A1001100.X to A1001100 to restore lost data.
