      Singularity to other universes

      This is actually a very good idea it might even be something you could mod, though I have not looked any modding. Forgive me for saying the name but second life had a group who created a Stargate network that was also passed on into opensim, and aurora I believe. It simply stored a servers IP...

      Being a drone while in build mode.

      Oh man I am sorry Scottnov, I promise to read dates on these things from now on. As to why and how more lag, I am not talking game crashing lag but an increase for sure, and performance reduction on the bottom end. I also can not say it with one hundred percent certainty. However, I have...

      Block not placed. Area not 'initialised'.

      Hey I think I finally found a small workaround, or at least it worked for me last time I hit this and it didn't want to go away. I found the edge of the no build area and dumped a template past that ran from outside one side of the no place zone right into it. After that I could keep building...

      Derelict Ship Spawning

      This would be a good idea of how to get a slightly cheaper ship if the could spawn as decayed but repairable, though I am not sure if the repair costs right now are at the same cost as a new block for block or a partial cost.

      Being a drone while in build mode.

      My bad I did not read the date on it. I was just looking for topics that sounded like they might have potentially good ideas. As I said the aesthetics would be a cute addition to the client side as an option just not the mechanics.

      Basic Autopilot

      I like this idea, I do not personally have a problem with autopilot because i keep the artificial drag off. It just seems weird to me that a ship would slow down in space without a thruster being fired. However, I do like the idea of a autopilot, to take me to a navigation point without constant...

      Station Blocks For a Real Sense of Scale

      I would suggest that if you need to build bigger go into the server.cfg and alter the max build area. I have mine set to 150, I seldom use more than 10 at a time but I have the option. There are a few problems with scaling blocks. one is that it would be like a giant paper station. each block...

      Being a drone while in build mode.

      After consideration I am not sure what the mechanics of this would accomplish at all other than making you vulnerable while trying to build. You do realize that with careful planning and templates, you could conceivably single click repair entire sections of your without ever exposing your drone...

      Being a drone while in build mode.

      It is a cute idea as a "non-physics" aesthetic for the client side of the game, but not worth adding lag to the server. The current build mode is a non-physics free camera. What you suggest would require an entity be added and tracked by the server, the mechanics would be a lag beast if the...

      Only one vendor in the universe?

      Long ago the world governments of earth where bankrupted by careful corporate maneuvering and well placed bribes. Eventually everything slowly came under the control of the trading guild that had formed from the most powerful corporations of the world. At first they simply led by proxy passing...

      Finding out what builds what?

      also adding the enhancers will let you build what you need faster so if you need 10 rods to build 1 light you can put 9 enhancers on the basic factory and each tick it will feed the standard factory 10 rods if you link the standard to the basic and link both to a resource bin then you can just...

      Only one vendor in the universe?

      I believe you can add NPC factions at least on a dedicated server with the remote admin tool under tools. at least i saw a bunch of NPC factions in the list including Pirates and Trade guys. Actually you can even switch them from what I see, make pirates the good guys. or at least on your side...

      Missiles! For goodness sake, turn em' down!

      That was a very diplomatic understatement. But I am aware of that yes. However, that does not really make it any better that it is an old problem that apparently will be with us for a longer time still. And WhAT! Let me see beams, bleh damage, feah range, and if you do stack enough mods on to...

      Missiles! For goodness sake, turn em' down!

      I have been running tests on these things since they came out, there are some odd changes in the missile systems now. Obviously they blow the crabable out of every turret on the ship, and every ship in the ship, and anyone standing to close to the ship.. and sometimes even the ship. Because...

      New station missile turrets ignore shields, and hit ships inside mothership.

      Testing update, after using admin for invisible and god modes I set up a battle between the new alpha station and an anti-missile frigate with 16/16/10 beam/cannon/stop mods. after setting accuracy to 99% at 2km I set them both against each other and noted that the beams seem to pass through the...

      Bug mass pasting when ctrl is pressed

      I am having an odd thing happen, it does not happen all the time but sometimes when i push the control key to change the orientation of a bock or to change the bock size, it just starts mass pasting even without pressing the mouse button just pushing control starts it. I had a huge battle trying...

      Turbo lift system.

      Indeed it is fun. After I got the emergency shaft from the fighter bays to the medical hub ( yes it is more of a roll play ship ) I spent about ten minutes just shooting back and forth for the fun of it. Great looking ship, Id like to see it, it would be nice to see a big ship that does not...

      [Admin commands] Any dialog NPC

      Fantastic, I have not really played around with the NPC crew yet but that gives me some ideas.

      Turbo lift system.

      I don't know if anyone has done or suggested this yet. Search turns up all kinds of crazy stuff but not turbo lifts at least not what I have. Now back story I checked out a hand full of the titan ships and then quit because they ether had nothing inside, or when they did it took half an hour...

      Only one vendor in the universe?

      it depends on your server, extra shops can be set to spawn at different rates. If it is your own personal server you can change the server.cfg file on this line: SHOP_SPAWNING_PROBABILITY = 0.001 //(must be between 0 and 1): 0 is no shops spawned in asteroid sectors, 1 is shop spawned in...
