I think things like fuel and ammo would actually add a lot of depth to the game (could always be a config to turn requiring it on or off). Same thing for some kind of requirement of upkeep for vessels and stations. All these things would put appropriate limits on what is now unlimited. When...

There's tons of little upstarts on places like Brierie and others. All the older factions are taking a break and waiting for an uptick in activity brought about by a stable enough release. At the current build it's pretty hard to play empire, though progress is actually being made.

A "burnt up in a star" simulated event would add some immersion and make people actually think when ordering thier fleets about.

This is definitely a must. Such a tool in the hands of admins would really help with many of the current issues facing servers.

I see a lot of potential in the NPC factions' ability to field defense fleets. Currently attacking an NPC faction's base will get you swarmed by defense ships from all sides. If player factions had the ability to utilize this mechanic then they can produce numerous vessels that would patrol...

If you don't actually set a home base, no coordinates will be listed. Unless your on a reverse faction point server the only thing you need to worry about is being blockaded. Some well placed turrets of modest strength should be more than enough to keep anyone you don't want around away from...

One thing I have noticed regarding moving rod shops: If you move them via admin commands, the natural self restocking behavior ceases. Specifically, this has been observed when using the /change_sector_selected command.

An option should be added to turn off that flying camera sequence and and just go straight to loading.

If your running a large faction you should set up a base where there are two sets of facilities, one for your trusted members and yourself, and another for the rest. Easiest way to do this is lock the home base out to everyone except you and certain chosen persons you trust, then in the separate...

The /teleport_selected_to command is really your only choice besides adding big bricks of temporary thrusters. It's actually quite precice if you use it correctly. Just initially center it in sector by doing /teleport_selected_to 0 0 0 . Do this several times until it has "settled" in a...

One very important thing you will need to know before proceeding is that right now your better off putting no docked entities on any of the ships your NPC faction will be using. They will shed their turrets and leave them EVERYWHERE. Another thing you should avoid are scavenger fleets, these...

Yeah, if the player base grew large enough, most likely many servers would tighten up on some of the more obviously generous perks of one server or another. Right now, the player-base is so contracted that you have certain players walking into a server and making demands like they are a bad...

Lecic is correct, Light Vs Dark is an open world PvP server with some RP flavoring, PvE side content, and the option to have a build account separated from all other players. Our rules are based on server performance issues only and some very minor regulation in public chat, along with...

1000 times yes! The "game is alpha" excuse is old, tired and simply does not address the reality of a game that is under the constant gaze of the public eye. If this game was being developed with the more traditional model of alpha being closed to the public, the above sentiment would make more...

NPC factions are like that by design. It's very annoying. these lines in the npcConfig.xml control how often they run the check: <DiplomacyStatusCheckDelay>60000<!--Check for status effects (war, etc)--></DiplomacyStatusCheckDelay> <DiplomacyTurnEffectDelay>60000<!--Time for turn...

The Malakhim/Luvart is a 32k vessel designed for military use. This vessel's armament loadout is concentrated into two floating mount select fire turrets, allowing you to instantly engage your enemy without needing to change the direction of your ship. This makes the Malakhim/Luvart ideal for...

No, neutral consists mainly of factions that are uninterested in being light or dark for a variety of reasons. On LvD neutrals have generally fallen into four general styles of play: Peaceful service providers (OOB and Arbor Radix come to mind), Belligerent Service Providers (Any kind of self...

I think Pietrko hit it on the head 100%. Well thought out diminishing returns to prevent exponential growth in power (it's not exactly exponential but it's enough to certainly lead many people to that conclusion), and things like maintenance costs and possibly even things like ammunition and...

The fact that missile slaving anything makes a fixed rather than random pattern really reduces it's value as a weapon. If the pattern were random each time it fired it could actually be useful for close range work.

yeah, I'd welcome a tool like that, especially for events. Once could do all kinds of stuff with that.
