Info/Context

We're rarest of odd birds: A Goonstation-derived fork, with the classic pre-resprite, non-perspective appearance
If you want to know the vibe, think back a decade ago and that's more or less it
We deleted stamina: now you must win fights by wiles, the skin of your teeth, the strength of full health and the desperation of low health, ample preparation, and just plain luck
Try our buildable modular gunse! Low capacity, high availability and non-magazine reloading put our firearms in a much different niche than other gun-focused servers
Enjoy our multi-level terrestrial stations, upstairs AND downstairs. Currently a desert environment with a day and night cycle, but soon to have other environments like a polluted ocean and the frigid wastes.
Live and work and explore a Frontier isolated from Earth and our solar system after a terrible subspace accident
IMMERSIVE glows for equipment in the dark, as well as pleasant loops and positional ambient sound (special thanks to Inorien)
A security dynamic where it is not the crew's friend and they are not heroes, but you still gotta work together on existential threats
For anyone nervous, our server is 18+ as in "no babysitting," we are explicitly not for ERP (dick jokes ok though)
Low barrier for entry in contributing (we have standards! they're achievable! we'll be honest and upfront about fit and feel, and help as much as we can!)

Additional Details

We got some extra public announcements to make that came along with this launch push, and honestly made it possible. Let's break it down with all the technical facts and informacione and what this means for everyone.

We got an extremely kind and generous offer from another friendly host to put up our server and join our team
Our first true production server at launch will have an upgraded management suite, somehow adapting TGS to our disgusting tumpus, which was Goonstation's unique blend of API, reimplemented in OpenGoon, and with a markov bot welded to the end

(this includes server build and management scripts and probably mapchanges idk)

This should make things more efficient and fun for us and by extension you
Our new production server is located in Europe somewhere

the dev server you may be familiar with is located in Chicago
you may or may not see increased latency compared to what you're used to
this is probably not going to make one shit of difference to your click until horizontal skills
blame yourself or goku
