[Captain's Log Supplemental]: As the alien vessel's tractor beam inched my own star-ship closer towards the huge opening in it's haul; I immediately diverted all power to my space-craft's thrusters in an attempt to muscle out of the foreign ship's hold.. but to no avail as diverting all power to th...

I'd like to hear what some of you have to say

Its like the chicken or the egg paradox. Where did this energy come from if the universe was empty before space/time?

Believe it or not when I first played Starport back in 2004 Toonces had a contest in which players had to write why they liked Starport, and if Toonces liked it he would give you 10,000 tokens. I was like 14 years old and I wrote some BS that I don't even remember lol. Long story short I was awarded...

Holy moly, really?

bump =D

Nine-breaker, thank you so much for your common sense! I've known what you presented from the start of this viral BS, and had to undo the brainwashing done to my family and cousins. Things like Kony 2012 exemplifies how stupid people are these days, and how dumb the up and coming generation already ...

[Captain's Log Supplemental]: A tremendously large starship, metallic-violet in color, which seemed to have crash landed on this planet well before the Trontech's arrival lay severed in multiple pieces abeam to my vessel's starboard. Even in all its demise; I could not help but think what a magnifi...

[Captain's Log Stardate 20111213] Following my encounter with an immense unknown vessel; I have arrived at Omega Psi Phi in order to begin my search for an artifact sighted on one of the system's celestial bodies. A thorough neutrino scan of the area revealed a rather large three hundred ton object...

[Captain's Log Supplemental]: My ship is en route to Omega Psi Phi Vb to investigate the artifact the Anaetarian bar-tender informed me about in Alpha Centauri. The Trontech is equipped with advanced Neutrino Scanners which are intended produce detailed scan reports of entire star systems. Locating...

[Captain's Log Supplemental]: After docking at the Starport in the Alpha Centauri system, a Haulbanger or two at the port's Lone Star Lounge seemed appropriate. Walking in I couldn't help but notice the cast of shady characters at the establishment for which one could not imagine a more preferable ...

[Captain's Log, Stardate 20111211]: Call me RK2; Captain of the starship Trontech. My travels throughout the galaxy have bestowed upon me a rather negative reputation. Immoral, yes; malevolent, no. Sometimes decent people need to do bad things, and that's the category I fall under. Far and wide I h...

If you guys like, I'll keep rolling them out every month:

I've made a killing on this server the last few days invading Genocide colonies without anyone noticing!.
I'm over 100K followers and 500K experience.. In 4 days!

StarportGE/data/sounds

This folder contains all the game's sound effects and music tracks!

I'm bumping to those tracks on my way to work every morning!

"The best thieves are the the ones with the blackest hearts."

I don't know about you guys, but to me this means that the
more negative reputation a player has the better the chance
he/she has to successfully rob a port.

What do you all think?

Hey all,

Until last night I was on a major losing streak on the blitzkrieg server (-11 streak).

Some of you guys are exceptionally good at blitzkrieg, and I hoped a few of you guys
could share some tips/strategies on the game so I can get better.

Good idea. I'm sensing a 40% chance Toonces MIGHT bite on this one. Let me put it in economic terms for him: 1) Fact: New players = The possibility of making more money. Reason: If new players buy tokens, profits grow. Its the same premise as a company getting more customers (called growth), and thu...

People can only do the same thing over and over again for so long before it becomes boring. I completely agree with this statement. Starport is a game of repetition. Players build, invade, fight, invade, fight, build. Its a cauldron of awesomeness for a while, but gets tiresome after time. As far a...

But yes, i freshly installed this two days ago and the colonies directory wasn't there.

Thanks for posting the fix there Rk2


EDIT: Works fine now - Thanks yet again Rk2

No problem, M2. However, the real person to thank is Toonces.

Introduction: For years I've been reading on this forum that Starport is dead, or that its going to cease to exist. Heck, I've even read peoples' opinions on how to "save" Starport. My opinion has always been that if you don't like the way things currently are; then don't play! I finally c...

This is what Toonces said to do: 1) Go to your StarportGE\Data folder and create a new sub-directory there called Colonies. 2) Now run starport and remain logged in on your colony for at least 15 minutes. 3) Then exit the colony and return to it to see if it still looks black. Let me know how it goe...

Yes, the problem still persists. I am e-mailing Toonces as I type.

The last 1 or 2 patch made this issue worse, the darker the sun is in the system the darker the colonies are. Go into a system with a black hole...the colonies are extremely dark. this is a feature Toonce added to the game but for some reason the colony lighting is a bit darker since the recent pat...

I think he's talking about this: http://img298.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=271183663_Untitled_122_152lo.jpg I have the same issue. and I posted a topic of it in the engineering section. This is exactly what's happening; what is causing it? I e-mailed Toonces yesterday, and he said that is should b...

I bought a new computer today: Dell Inspiron One (All in one touch screen PC). I installed SGE, and everything runs great except whenever I attempt to enter my colonies. Whenever I am on my planets and attempt to enter that planet's biodome; I get a black screen. Everything else like how much money ...

AUs are units of distance.... Yes, I know. It is the abbreviation for Astronomical Unit, or the distance between our Earth and Sun. 1AU = 93 million miles. Within our solar system, we use AU to measure distances. If wanted to measure beyond that, it would be more practical to measure in light years...
