Two years ago, we decided to raise the minimum age to 18 to join Star Army as a member. This was for a couple reasons, but mainly because it made the site less complicated to run if we're all adults. In order to avoid kicking out any members who had already joined, we allowed for a two-year...

Hey Star Army, As you probably know, Star Army is my hobby. It's not a business and I don't make money from it. I'm doing this for fun and I want all of you to be having fun too. Running a community is a big responsibility that means working with a lot of personalities. Without all the people...

@Wes, I'd like to request that submission reviewers be granted the authority to unapprove submissions that they have personally reviewed, as, well, when a submission reviewer... Makes a mistake and approves something that should not have been approved in the first place due to being...

After a discussion between @Dragon_God, @Arbitrated, and myself on Discord, I have a question for @Wes: Do non-player factions that are comprised primarily of humans require a character creation guide in order to become a player faction? In my personal opinion they do, as I believe that a CCG...

In recent events I have had the unfortunate chance to witness dishonesty on the part of two of our members. Honestly is a virtue that I happen to value so naturally this bothers me deeply. To be clear, THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION OF THE RECENT SITUATION OR SIMILAR INCIDENTS. What I wish to get...

I've created a new guide for reviewing submissions, that is focused on giving a good experience and explains what should and shouldn't be in each submission. Here's what I have so far. Please review it and let me know what you think about it.

@Wes and @Fred - how are the damaging effects of beam weapons handled in DRv3? Does, say, a Tier 10 weapon capable of continuously firing for 10 seconds deals light anti-starship damage every “instant” of those 10 seconds - or does the Tier 10 value describe the sum of the weapon’s output over...
