This lack of security in MP is really hurting it.

Even though I have made my self totally grief proof and theft proof, It is now just incredibly frustrating to play multiplayer because nobody trusts you and you're always stuck on the spawn planet with first time players swinging their crappy sword over and over.

Worse still, servers have implemented anti-grief systems such as changing the spawn planet once in a while, and since there is no easy way to tell or enter coordinates, it's pretty much impossible to get to the new spawn planet.

So I end up having to constantly create new characters just so that I can spawn on the new spawn planet to meet up with some players to get them to trust me.

 

Multiplayer security features will come later in the development process, right now they're focusing on improving the netcode (which isn't really that good) and making sure nothing breaks multiplayer too much.

 

Why not just play on a small, private server?
That would most certainly help the issue, until better protection is available for us.

 

because people are not onling whenever you want them to, everyone have their own schedules. The only way to get around that is to play on a larger server.

 

I don't have that issue since I only play MP with a friend, lol.

 

Juice Box recommends that you simply do not play MP with randoms, and at this time you enjoy the positives of Starbound, not the negatives.

 

Well lets see here. I have come with a magical solution that will save us all. Beta.

This will be implemented later so play with people who you can TRUST and don't get in parties with randoms.

 

Sometimes some of us, including myself, like A LOT of players. This helps Starbound a lot because it gives you a better sense of vastness.
But I doubt no antitroll measures will be implemented in the future. Would love servers with logins supporting 1000 players at a time

 

I'm not sure what you're saying, but if you're saying you seriously doubt that zero antitroll measures will be implemented in the future, then I agree.

 

Yeah, dual negative there on my end, my bad. But yes you got it right, I know that there will be antitroll measures in release or sooner.

 

Never played on a large server. Most I've done is played with five friends with one of us hosting from our own computers.

Is it actually worth doing?

 

I run a dedicated server, I had to whitelist it immediately after 2 players stole from a friend of mine. Was right before the ship reset so it didn't really amount to anything.

Security would be nice, but that said, I'd rather gameplay elements added first.
