It's normal for most Baystation servers to have at least four playable crew member races. tg/station generally expects you to roleplay a good bit more than Goon does, but it's still a fairly laid back experience, with rounds lasting anywhere from an hour to two hours.īaystation is typically low populated, and with good reason Baystation sports considerable modifications in comparison to Goon and /tg/, and the round lengths vary between servers with the longer rounds taking over 8 hours. tg/station is the second most populated server and was the second kind of server codebase created with any sort of popularity around it. Goonstation generally follows a light roleplay experience, and is more casual and laid back. The server matches typically range from 30 minutes to two hours. Goonstation is the first and most populated type of server, typically ranging from around 50+ players out of 450. Each server follows one of currently four types: Baystation, /tg/station, Colonial Marines, and Goonstation. There are three forms of server structure for space station 13. Now, there are around 300 players playing on average at all times, and the game's mechanics are becoming more and more robust. Bay12games also created Baystation around this time, and the three codebases that each server runs on are all publicly available for download, and this has caused even more servers to crop up based around those codebases. In 2010, player numbers peaked at 50 and 4chan's /tg/ caught wind of the game, spawning what is known as /tg/station. Throughout the years, the game slowly gained popularity, and more servers and more maps began to crop up. In 2007, Space Station 13 gained some attention from communities like Penny Arcade, and around this time, the player numbers peaked at 18, with new maps being created, and a new backstory being made, with Nanotrasen (the company running Space Station 13) being fully aware that their space stations are "nonsensical metal death traps masquerading as space stations," but they don't do anything about it, because the cost-cutting measures they use are simply too effective. Around this time, Something Awful had noticed the game, and several servers cropped up. The code was released sometime later, although nobody actually did anything with it, at least until someone made a server simply known as OpenSS13. AZA worked with another user, hobnob, to decompile it and release it to the public. In 2006, the code was leaked by a user known as AZA, one of the few people with access to the original source code, after a disagreement with Exadv1. Servers were very uncommon and hard to make, as knowing someone with the original files was necessary to compile maps and such. It grew on from that, but it took 3 more years for it to be noticed. At the time, player numbers peaked at around 10, and the game's mechanics were kept in extreme secrecy, where one could get banned for talking about them. In 2003, Exadv1 released Space Station 13 on BYOND as a simple atmospheric roleplaying game set in the future, where Humanity is capable of space exploration. The player selects one of many roles, ranging from the captain to an assistant. Since 2007 it's established a cult following for its terminology, player base, and clunky interface.Ī player begins either by immediately entering a round, resulting in a random character or by creating a customized character, with which to use for future rounds. 3r15t045t3r, Ababa, AldricTalvalin, An A Jay, Ana Amari, AngryEagle, AnonHault, AntiqueBongo, Apfelwesen, Blackmiral, Blaizeup, BluHumphrey, Bluntly, Bobbydoggy, Bullterier, Burt_Curtis882, CAMCA, Capt_Sand, Connimir, Contemplez, Costco Worker, CoyoteKhan, Danchi299, DanielHoc, Deathium, Derek_2.0, EMiiX, EmmaFaith, EmpressEri, ExaltCommander, Fisheater, Frank001, Ghreg, Gnec, Grentex, Gsrhghttrhj, Guilleibco, Guysayhey, HarryOB, HenriqueKill9576, Hurkur, Ibx Paint, Infernite, Insertusername, IsaacExists, Kenaboss, KevinTheGreat, KiVts, Koi_slls, Kongkid, Koolperson14, Koplio1989, Kubernads, LeBaguette, Leibniz, LibeFiken, LittleZezah, Loorey, Lyrie, Mattcos, Medeelel18, Milo Silo, Mr.Space Station 13 also known by its other variants, Goonstation, /tg/station, Baystation, /vg/station, and D2K5Station is a more or less roleplaying game on the BYOND platform.
