You do know your faction homebase is invulnerable even if you're offline, right? Just avoid docking your ships at outposts and you won't have any problems. This isn't a valid excuse to file torpedo use under greifing. Granted, they can be used for greifing, but as we've discussed in previous...

True. I build my fighters for performance, but I try to make them look good too, at least on the outside anyway. Kinda hard to have a nice interior when you only have a 1x2 cockpit to work with, but I pretty it up with a nice crystal armor canopy.

You know, MacThule, I think you've pretty much nailed it. A lot of people who complain about certain tactics being used are convinced that their lag-titan should be able to beat anything in the galaxy, but when a clever player comes along and puts a hole in his supposedly invincible ship he...

Technically, a fighter's job should be to keep attention off the bombers attacking the titan. Giving it's turrets something to shoot at other than the heavy hitters that can and should be able to dent it's hull. In the case of attacking a carrier, like in a previous post, those fighters have to...

Spawn camping is greifing no matter what game your playing, that we can all agree on. This will be rule #1 when I finally get Mostly Dark Universe to go public. As side from that, as admin, I'd have to look at greifing or legit tactic on a case by case manner. So if I catch a player wrecking...

Well, I wouldn't use a warhead on a cloaker because it's a one shot deal, which would net me nothing but a trip to the undeathinator with fewer credits and faction points. Even if I jumped out of the core before impact, now I have a very angry player aiming his guns at me, so back to the...

Just curious as to what the community thinks on the subject of certain strategies, and what players consider greifing. I've made a few suggestions in other threads, and supported other suggestions that made many players cry out "but that would lead to greifing!" Namely upping damage and blast...

Yeah, 90% of the time I'm on these forums is during breaks at work on my phone. That would help immensely.

I haven't done any programming since the days of VB, but I'm sure even I could do this as a mod of some sort.

That's the direction I'd like to see this game go, empire building is what would make this game great. Buidling is cool and all, but with nothing to make it worth while other than "look at the cool stuff I built" it gets old kinda quick.

Takes me back to the days I used to play MUDs on IRC and Telnet. :rolleyes: those were the days. Anyway, the casino aspect of it sounds interesting. Setting up a very basic logic slot machine that pays out credits would be an awesome addition to a station casino, or even a craps table if you...

I find that on larger servers this happens naturally anyway. One or two factions fight for control and their smaller allies act like the clans described in the OP. Subfactions or splinter factions allow for some independence within the ranks but still provides the support of the larger factions...

So destroying ot sabotaging an enemy's amenities would be a good way to starve out the competition, maybe even incite a revolt. Blow up the swimming pool, karaoke bar, and the local diner and people are gonna be pissed.

http://starmadedock.net/threads/wedged-turret-block-and-launcher-rails.21317/ It's been suggested already, other good ideas here too.

I like this :), if my station could populate itself with settlers then I wouldn't have to spawn them in one at a time. Just build all the amenities, like living quarters, eating, recreation and work areas. It'd be nice to have a thriving population spring up around a trade station or mining...

+1 for throttle controls. Set the throttle, and use WASD to control direction.

Like the idea, but agree that this needs to be player controlled. Lore on my server atm is that the ruling faction is the Galactic Federation, which has a Navy to police it's own territories, and the Federal Heroes (my admin faction) to act as marshals, but are also semi-independent and do some...

Getting killed by your own heat seekers. That's an "oh shit" moment I'm sure everyone who's ever played this game has had at one point you or another.

It's players like that who deserve to be smashed with the banhammer. If you're going to use a strategy like that to actually gain some thing from the attack, then fine, all's fair in love and war. It's the ones who laugh about it and log off to avoid being hunted down and properly blown to hell...

Trust me, griefing isn't an option with a torpedo bomber. My tests showed that without adequate support you will get blown up by your own torps if you don't pull it off just right. This is a single bomber up against a mid-sized cruiser which had a small escort of fighter/interceptors. 9 times...
