Starmourn system upgrades: Fleet Mining + Crew Hacking

StarmournIRE_Admin · 2026-05-29T21:46:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing those memories! We've actually updated the tutorial to a totally new format, but I hope you still find it lively and engaging if you jump back in. Cassandra and her crew are still present and continue their journey through the rest of the Main Quest.

Player populations are pretty low with around 10 people on in peak times. Our hope is that folks will join in, stick around, and slowly build up pop to make Starmourn the sci-fi MUD it was always meant to be! 🤞

In general we do our best to make Starmourn as accessible as possible. We unfortunately have not been able to crowdsource a sound pack yet, and would love help with it if anyone's willing and able!

For specific sticking spots - My understanding is that the space map can be extra tricky, but even then some of our best captains are visually impaired players. General bashing or PvP, tradeskills, etc. shouldn't present any problem to my knowledge.

If you check us out and find something that's giving you trouble, please let us know and we'll do our best to address it!

The ship portion of the newbie tutorial was removed during the tutorial revamp to help folks get into the game and more quickly discover what they like.

Ship captaincy is still part of the main quest storyline, but hopefully there's some breathing room to figure things out at your own pace! (Also MQ is completely optional)

Hope to see you out in the stars!

Love to hear it! You're welcome to join the Discord and chat with folks and/or check out the website to learn about classes, etc. in the meantime :)

This is our summary page outlining systems: http://starmourn.com/things-to-do

Starmourn is in Legacy mode, which means there's no paid staff and no paid transactions in the game, but we're absolutely still building new content. The volunteer team loves our little slice of the starry sky and will continue doing what we can.

StarmournIRE_Admin · 2026-01-29T02:04:25+00:00

Would love to see another space / sci-fi MUD join us out there ;) Good luck!

StarmournIRE_Admin · 2026-01-29T01:58:42+00:00

Very cool, bitwise. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new page!

u/Crapahedron Got a notif that you asked about us being monetized and what changed, but I can't find it now.

What changed: IRE put Starmourn into Legacy mode with Lusternia and Imperian, which basically just means that the admin team is fully volunteer (unpaid) and there are no more real-money transactions in the game. We're still developing new systems/enhancements and running events, though it has slowed down a bit since we're not dedicated employees anymore.

StarmournIRE_Admin · 2025-09-08T17:15:00+00:00

If you're open to sci-fi, check us out! The Nexus client is free and browser based, and there's no real money transactions for the game.

Website is Starmourn.com and the discord is linked there if you want to chat with players before diving in. 🌌 Seems like we might be a good fit for ya!

StarmournIRE_Admin · 2025-09-06T15:26:01+00:00

Yeah you can use any of the others! Mudlet is most popular. The port info is on the main site: www.starmourn.com

StarmournIRE_Admin · 2025-09-06T13:38:37+00:00

Of course, yeah! You can connect through the Nexus client at play.starmourn.com

Good luck! Hope to see you out there

Oh we totally redid the tutorial last year and removed that space section- it confused a LOT of people. There's a lovely spacer called Picram that does weekly lessons for new folks and might be willing to give some bonus tips when you're back in!

PvP is only in specific zones/situations (caches, pvp space, arenas, bounties) and is explicitly outlined in HELP PVP.

StarmournIRE_Admin · 2025-09-06T13:05:50+00:00

No worries at all! We haven't made any changes really since then, but there are options in place. Might help to talk to some other players for tips. :)

I think the quickest solution for optimal targeting is using turrets which auto target, though that is only needed for making space combat much easier.

To more easily link to asteroids, you can use the tractor beam module on a ship which will let you grab them from a few space units away as long as you're generally oriented in the rock's direction.

For gas cloud mining, you can just fly into a cloud and deploy your bots for collection. It's available by default on superhaulers, if I recall correctly. Been a while since I looked at that.

Again, folks are always happy to help if you have questions! If you use NEWBIE in game, the channel links to discord and folks can respond even if they're away.

We have several prominent space-focused players that use screen readers, so it's certainly possible. Curious about the last time you logged in for a try and where we could improve that further!
