Important announcement.

Πɵσịҡɵ — Sat, 01 Apr 2017 16:37:07 +0000

It's with a heavy heart that I have to tell you all, Cygnus is under severe financial problems and can't afford to work like it's been working. I've had to cut costs in a lot of places, such as moving the server to the old Alienware laptop in a far corner of my room. Please don't take this as a sign Cygnus is gonna die, 'cause I'm doing my best, guys. Cygnus'll be moved over to just one single server running QBox, same as always. I've also had to remove a few of the more stressful addons, like Wiremod.

I'm sorry about the downgrades and all that, changes will take effect in about a day or two as everything gets sorted out after downtime starting later today.

Take care out there everyone, you're gonna need it, and as a friendly reminder I'd like to wish you a great first of April.

Significant fore work is being put into what will essentially be a persistent Survival server that will inevitably be set up for what I like to refer to as the Suicide Mission Gambit.

Prior to setting the server up for Stage III ( Survival ), I at least want to TRY to have everyone geared up with at least one ship that's survival capable and potentially self-sustaining, however this isn't REALLY necessary, just something I'd at least like to strive for. After all, losing even a single vessel is a colossal loss, but the more self-sustaining vessels we have, the less horrific each individual inevitable loss would be.

tl;dr:
- Open server to public, set to Survival
- Using only one ship per SE-savvy individual in the crew, the end goal is to set up a communications system spanning EVERY planet
- Set up defense arrays, outposts, etc. General faction presence accross every planet.
- Observe newcomers when they join.
- Create "The Institute" AKA Darklight Station, a hidden base far beyond the outskirts of the Sol System, for storing presently unused ships and the vast majority of resources intended to be explicitly used for shipbuilding.
- Create Jump Relay system allowing near-instant travel from any planet, to any planet. Let's hope the pubs decide to use the relays instead of destroying them...

Essentially, more crewmen for our ships would be quite nice. Especially gunners, fighter pilots, etc. People to help us maintain our relays, communications, and other such things accross the vastness of space.
The eventual hope here is that we could come together to set up a world of our own that we can be proud of, even if only slightly.

Expanding operations.

Some time around Christmas the addition of a Space Engineer server will replace the idle and usually unjoinable Garry's Mod servers.

This also implies the server will be relocated and online by this point.

Something something Star Wars Wrath of Gandalf or whatever

Physical server relocation.

Due to unexpected circumstances the actual server box itself is offline and effectively inoperable until further notice.

Server offline period

Shit will be dead until I finish sorting things out. The abrupt shutdown was caused by prolonged critical damage of ... some kind.

Repairs are already underway. Sorry for the sudden inconveniences.

Server maintanence soon.

Πɵσịҡɵ — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 05:17:45 +0000

I can't give a consistent deadline, but I'll try to do this when noone is using the servers.

tl;dr life happened and the GPU is wrecked, and I have no means of interacting with the tower otherwise ... yet.

The servers will all be offline ( including TS ) during this. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Readme!

If you're in on the RP, and don't want to feel left out in the next major sessions,

https://github.com/SnakeSVx/sbep

The involvement of SBEP content will probably approach singularity as more ship related stuff happens; I hope this doesn't seem a little wink-wink-nudge-nudge-y, but you MIGHT want to fetch this lest the giant white boxes attack.

Server restart / maintanence.

The servers will be afk for about an hour or so, I doubt this'll be too huge of an inconvenience just yet. You'd be surprised how long it takes to download over 10GB of content from Workshop...

Oh, and I'll also be afk too, so that's cool I guess. I'll return after these commercials...

Generic server work announcement.

Πɵσịҡɵ — Fri, 05 Jun 2015 18:06:22 +0000

It's starting today. It'll take a while to really do properly, but I'm starting by removing all Workshop auto-downloads, instead leaving the content downloading to be optional instead of mandatory;

This means some people who have not manually subscribed to the content the server uses will see errors, but at the same time it means those who are joining for reasons other than RP don't have to wait for content to download.

The intent here is that I plan on adding even more custom content, with the offset to it being the fact that none of it is entirely required, but instead, will be used predominantly by players who explicitly desire the additional custom content. It'll be almost entirely just props that're being added, however I am open to adding other forms of custom content in the coming weeks ( Vehicles, NPCs, weapons, the likes. The limitation here is that it can't be something that mandatorily self-downloads, and hopefully we can keep things smaller scale ( Less Skyrim megapacks, and more small stuff like Metro SWEPs or a few assorted launchers or whatever. ) and refrain from hitting lua limitations quite so quickly. )

As well, I hope to find a suitable SWEP base to replace MCW with; HOPEFULLY we can find something that is straightforward and simple, whilst still flexible enough to allow easy additions of future desired SWEPs of any given kind, however if it comes down to it the gameplan is to have the Sleek weapon base be a go-to in the event of absolutely no better alternatives being found. Do note that Sleek base has its code spread accross many many differing base files, so adding it would only encourage the removal of other potentially useful scripts or addons.

And fuck sake. There's too many maps. I'd like to see a list of maps people actually want / use, and I'll be removing anything that's not on the list. Don't worry, I won't remove useful maps that aren't listed -- Just shit that was added and more or less forgotten about over time.

tl;dr HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WANT SO WE CAN GET RID OF WHAT WE DON'T WANT.
