That's a terrible idea - for reference: nearly the entire Obsidian catalogue has been screwed up at least in part by forced deadlins.

Symmetry Mode (at least the third one) has issues with the corner lightbars. It gets their orientation all wrong.

My old thread was only two posts and also they were really outdated so now you can watch the ships roll in over here instead. First up, my biggest ship yet - which is still small. Beetle-class Luxury Transport Build by Free State Andus's Nosce Band, the Beetle began development as a...

Beetle-class Luxury Transport Build by Free State Andus's Nosce Band, the Beetle began development as a personal transport. However, the engineers went a bit overboard with making it a comfortable ride and it found traction instead among executive markets, especially in the Zephis Republic...

Neat. Can this also be done on a player faction level? That is, could a player-run faction be friendly or allied with an NPC faction, or is it just on a person-by-person basis?

Will players be able to join the NPC factions or, down the road, do missions for them? When the talk of trade routes and freighters to raid came up, I was immediately reminded of Mount & Blade. I'm not expecting to juggle relations with various NPC warlords, but playing around with the faction...

Ooh, I like that idea. I was thinking of the issues of ships falling, hadn't even thought of them spawning down there to begin with.

A second post from me in one day. Maybe this one won't be something I missed in an update! I think I'm in the clear this time. I was reminiscing about my time playing Freelancer, ducking through debris fields and hunting wrecks for loot, and the details of this idea came to me. Shipwrecks...

You seem to have had a copy-paste issue here.

Right then, looks like the Starjumper won out in my head. But rather than make the original exactly, I present... EDIT: Oh, I forgot the download link. Derp. Krait Industries S-14b Starjumper-class Orbital Shuttlecraft Registry Download The Starjumper is a budget shuttle intended for local...

This is where I'm posting my RP-oriented ship builds. While I'm hoping to make them reasonably effective, the primary consideration is appearance and RP concept. First up is the Krait Industries E-23 Tick-class Light Excavator (Registry download) It's ugly by design, but I hope it's...

Current config, as I understand it, lets you either universally ignore docking boxes, or always obey them. I suggest a third option to add to the existing ones: the box is relevant, but only for turrets. Because turrets are ships, mechanically, this would be accomplished by disabling weapons on...

So long as any such blacklist is configurable by server admins, I agree. I say that because of a lot of experience with overzealous filters in other games.

Several of you seem to have missed the bit where I suggested configuration options that could limit renaming on a server to only admins. I'm well aware of how some people could abuse this feature.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a hard time keeping track of (0, 1, 2), (2, 1, 0), (1, 0, 2) and so on, and I'd like the ability to rename systems and sectors. The coordinates would still show, along with a name. This would work best with an additional line on the navbar...
