I would definitely say that there is some memory leakage to the game. (Possibly) Unless it was your desire to keep some assets loaded when exiting a game to the main menu, in which case, that's fine. I try to load onto a server with a newly started instance of StarMade, my connection lags out, I'm back to the Main Menu, and suddenly it had gone from 500Mb to 1.5GB.

And every time I suffer an EOFException from bad connection on trying to connect, its using another 100-200Mb for nothing. Could you guys work on solving this?

-Feedback-

if you exit the game and restart through the launcher .. the memory is free again .. right ?
its only gobbling up memory when going back to the main menu and in game again?

Sorry for the delayed response, system drive started failing.

And yes, The memory leak is session specific.

Well, slightly going over the maximum memory is part of measurement errors, but it should not go far beyond that.

By the way:
Leaving a game and joining a new one via main menu, does cause leaks and is known to cause trouble if jumping between games without proper restart of the game.
(We will address that, but takes quite a while to find all of those problems.)

Can you please upload a logstarmade.0.log from your starmade/logs directory, right after starting the game?
(This allows checking the actual startup parameters, and may reveal system override settings, that could influence that)

I am afraid that this leak can and has gone above JVM specified in a single game as well, not going back to the main menu at all. But sure, I will give you a log file of me playing for hours.
