The Galactic Charter

United Command of Pegasus

A Space Engineers Community of Servers

The rules set forth herein in this document are the regulations & laws of the UCP and its owners. Failure to abide by these governing rules will result in banishment and or expulsion from its community of servers.

Section Zero: General Rules

It is expected that each player on the cluster is courteous and respectful toward one another. We are all gamers here and most of us love playing SE. Do NOT ruin this for other members of your community. The expectation includes basic courtesy and civility in-game as well as in all chat and voice channels on the associated discord for Lost Civilizations. Intentionally harassing, bothering, egging other players and discord members on, or otherwise engaging in pissing matches will not be tolerated.

  • As this is a game, real world politics are not to be discussed in the main game channels. If you wish to discuss real world events, please use the general-chat channel.
  • Lying about or misrepresenting what admins have said or what the rules actually are is specifically prohibited. This includes getting someone to be an unknowing participant in rule breaking. We do not need nor desire other players to speak on our behalf. Engaging in this will result in a more severe response.
  • If a staff member tells you the conversation is not appropriate, it is not appropriate. Do not argue or complain about it. Indicate you understand and move along smartly.
  • If another member of the cluster or discord tells you to leave them alone, to stop messaging them, etc., then you are required to leave them alone. No one is required to associate with you. This includes in-game activities within designated PvE Sectors (trading, building, and so forth). You are not permitted to use in-game activities to further real world harassment.
  • It is expected that you join the server discord (use the command: !discord to open the steam browser to get started). Not knowing the rules because you failed to join the discord is not an excuse.
  • Your discord handle must match your in-game name. Changing your handle in our discord does not cause it to change anywhere else. This will make it easier to provide support and communicate with you. It’s exceptionally difficult to provide tech support for DaveSE when the discord handle is FreakyFreddy471. Likewise, do not use non-standard characters as part of your in-game name. They do not translate well and make providing support nearly impossible.
  • Failure to abide by the above rules will typically result in a warning followed by a mute or ban if violations continue or persist. Exceptionally flagrant violations may result in a ban for first time offenses.
  • Usage of the game server and/or its associated discord indicates your agreement and intent to abide by all posted rules.

Section One: Discord Rules:

  • Any racism, bigotry, harassment, trolling, cheating, spamming, personal attacks, religion, politics, exploits, NSFW, advertising in non NSFW channels, explicit language, impersonating other players/factions/staff, or pinging/DMing staff will not be tolerated. No alt accounts are permitted, in game or in Discord. This server is run by adults who volunteer their time, we will not tolerate poor behavior. In addition, all communication in public channels must be in English for ease of moderation.
    • Please use common sense these rules will only be enforced if someone is feeling like they are either being:
      • Involved with the above
      • Contact admin (filling out a ticket with player name and evidence
        • Evidence is as follows
          • That is acceptable is chat logs with date inside discord
          • Screenshots and or actual voice conversation recordings
          • All rulings are final by the command of the UCP and its owners
  • Discord nickname must be set to match your In-Game name (case-sensitive) and you are required to create or join an in-game faction upon joining the server, impersonating factions, nations, or explicit names/tags is forbidden.
    • You will be warned for the 1st offense
      • Mod/Admin will send a message
    • You will be timed out for the 2nd offense
      • You will not be able to join VC or part take for 7 days on UCP servers
    • You will be banned for 30 days on all UCP servers
  • All players are required to adhere to Discord’s own Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

If you are unsure, open a ticket and ask first. Ignorance of the rules does not exempt you from them, we will usually be tolerant of first offenders but if you are uncertain whether a decision will qualify as a rule break, open a ticket and ask first. We will not tolerate boundary pushing, gray areas/technicalities do not skirt the purpose of the rules.

Section Two Space Engineers

No Cheating:

Non-compliance with these policies will result in an immediate and permanent ban from our Discord and game servers.

No third-party tools, in-game builds (clang drives), scripts or modifications are allowed that alter game physics, access permissions or visuals to provide an unfair gameplay advantage or intentionally cause performance issues with the server or other players. If you have any questions or concerns about an in-game script, check with the staff on our Discord server.

If a bug or gameplay exploit is discovered in-game, report it to staff on our Discord server.

Denial-of-Service and other Internet and network attacks WILL be resisted and reported to your ISPs and law enforcement.

These are the rules in their most basic form. By joining and playing on this Space Engineers server, you agree to comply with these policies.

You may download a printable copy of the rules for your convenience.

Account Sharing: #

Do not share your Steam or Discord account with anyone else. YOU will be held responsible for any rule breaking done on your account.

Spamming: #

We define chat spam as various actions in ANY in-game or Discord channel or Private Message on the server, including but not limited to:

  • Pasting links or text repeatedly.
  • Any actions that result in messages being repeatedly posted to chat, such as Death message spamming or repeated login/logouts.
  • Keyboard mashing.
  • Advertising any other game or Discord server without checking first with a staff member.

Chat spamming will result in mute, kick, or ban where appropriate depending on the severity.

Harassing: #

Abusive language directed at the server, its staff, or its players will get you banned and reported to the Discord Safety team. You can swear but do it in moderation.

PVP Zones: #

Each UCP world uses specific rule sets for PVP

  • Please see discord channel and or LCD for rules for PVP zones
    • Failure to follow these guidelines will result in banishment and or expulsion
    • Use common sense

PVE Zones:

Each UCP world uses specific rule sets for PVE

  • Please see discord channel and or LCD for rules for PVEzones
    • Failure to follow these guidelines will result in banishment and or expulsion
    • Use common sense

No Griefing or Stealing: #

Since PvP is part of normal Space Engineers gameplay, griefing and stealing have specific definitions on our Space Engineers game server.

  • Stealing: Do not take any grids or items from faction or allied-faction players without the owner’s permission, EVEN if containers are set to “Share with All”.
  • Griefing:
    • Block or entity placement/breaking on faction or allied-faction players’ grids without the owner’s permission.
    • Proposing faction peace relationships with the intent to cause theft or damage to the target faction is not acceptable behavior. If you intend to engage in PvP, do not establish a peace relationship with the target faction. Declare War first if you are already in a peace relationship.
    • If you accidentally damage something belonging to another player or faction, it is recommended to let the owner or faction know as soon as possible to prevent a misunderstanding.

Concealment:

  • Apparently there are people who do NOT understand what Concealment does despite it being explained publicly (over global chat) and privately.
  • Concealment’s purpose is to reduce the impact of unattended grids on the server. It does this by turning off the effects of various blocks, reducing the calculations required for that grid and its requisite physics checks.
  • This means (based on server settings), if your grid does NOT have a player within 25km of it, most blocks (except for production) will be “turned off”. This means that while they are set as powered on, they do not generate their effects. This means that thrusters don’t thrust, gravity gens don’t create gravity, etc. Production blocks are exempt as are specific blocks needed for server effects (ex: KOTH).
  • So if you think that flying in a gravity well is a good idea during a restart, think again. That may work in single player but it does NOT in multiplayer. Your thrusters will not do their jobs and your grid will crash into the ground. You may also want to add parachutes to your grid if it’s atmospheric capable as they typically will activate (if configured) despite Concealment. It might also survive if it comes within 25km of another logged in player nearby and has sufficient time to stop itself.
  • This sort of grid loss also does NOT qualify for a grid restore. Moving grids during a restart can result in loss of grids. These are seen as player caused issues, not server caused

Faction Best Practices: #

This section provides more general guidelines and recommendations than rules. These are designed to help prevent unintentional conflict between players. Faction leaders are ultimately responsible for the behavior of their members, and their relationships to other factions.

  • Please pay attention to who you accept into your faction. Your “Accept Everyone” checkbox should be turned off.
  • Note which factions you extend peace agreements to. Your “Accept Peace” checkbox should also be turned off.
  • If you are leaving or changing factions, make sure you know where all your grids are located, just in case nearby neutral guns become hostile and your grids are damaged.
  • If you establish a peace relationship with another faction, it is recommended that you have a conversation with the other faction leader and have an understanding between your factions on acceptable behavior.

Top Grid Rules:

  • If you have a grid that is greater than 75K PCU, its location / GPS will be broadcast to the entire server and include a GPS chime.
  • Likewise, if you go beyond 10,000 km from 0.0.0, you will also generate a top grid notification (regardless of PCU) because you are too far from the center. Anyone traveling that far into the Unknown Regions is not trusted and should be shot on sight.
  • If your grid is in Top Grid status (it is 75k PCU or greater) you cannot put it in the hangar.

Server Cleanup and Performance Information: #

Server grid and floating object removal is performed on a regular interval without warning, affecting the following:

  • Floating objects.
  • Must have a beacon on a created grid does not need to be built just placed.
  • Grids owned by Nobody, NPC factions, banned players, or any player inactive for 90 days.
  • Unpowered grids under 20 blocks.
  • Grids with default naming (i.e., Small Grid 1234).
    • The best way to avoid being affected by Trash Cleanup is to name all your grids with some convention (something other than Small Grid 1234).
    • The convention you choose is up to you. Having a consistent naming scheme can allow staff to help find and troubleshoot lost grids for you.
    • You can review your owned grids in your player Info tab.

Access to Scripting: #

Access to Scripting on this server requires the Scripter role, which may only be granted by a staff member at their discretion. Scripter roles may be revoked at any time without warning if rules are violated. Intentional usage of scripts to harm server performance will result in an immediate ban.

Players will undergo a probationary period of indeterminate length before scripter role requests are considered.

  • Active Discord participation is required.
  • Voting for our server ( not required but we look at this)
  • Players must be on the server for a minimum of two weeks.

Known Good Scripts: #

The following scripts have been tested successfully on this server, and we recommend their use:

Scripts to Avoid: #

This list is not exhaustive, but examples of performance-intensive scripts to avoid include some of the following. Avoid any script that has known performance impacts on dedicated server, particularly anything having to do with radar/lidar/raycasting/clang drives. Contact an admin on Discord if you have any questions or doubts about a script you would like to use.

  • Lidar Mapping Script
  • Raycast Lidar
  • Ship Layout
  • SIMPL | Ship Integrity Monitoring Program Lite
  • Whip’s Turret Based Radar

Usage Best Practices: #

Our server runs a script every restart and every 5 hours. All programmable blocks and anything that has server impact Odin clean up will turn off anything that is not a standard block, Please if you leave the server turn off your own none essential blocks. Only scripts published on the Steam workshop may be used. If the server sim speed drops when your script is active, you must stop and unload that script. Please notify an admin which script caused a problem so the list can be updated.

NEXUS: #

The UCP was founded on the basics of NEXUS based community servers.

  • This plugin & controller were created by Casmir aka Bob
