Again, this is not a DRM issue. Ships, within the game, are physical objects. Ship blueprints need to be protected in the same way that you can't just steal patents and copywriten material for your own designs. There's no real way for a community to produce COMMUNITY LAWS and make that illegal...

This is pretty much exactly how existing chaindrives work- they use randomizers to put more signals into a computer than a basic NOT|Delay. It's just that the older custom randomizers require a docked entity to produce the signals.

What? All auxiliaries are activated at the same time, regardless of if they're split up or not.

Everyone keeps talking about tracks and I'm just sitting here wondering..... where are they..........

Yeah, it's a bug I've been experiencing for over a year. As far as I can tell my GPU, heat, and PSU are all fine. This is is the only game it occurs in, and it only happens on things further away in build mode. First/third person, astronaut mode, and the debug cam are both fine. I think it's an...

Inverted or standard FP config?

I've occasionally had issues of very slowly sliding in build mode. Relauching the game would usually fix it.

I don't think there should be a way to steal the blueprint from the ship itself. If you want to know how it works, you should need to pull it apart and see how. If you want to steal the blueprint itself, that should require espionage.

Gigantism is an issue that can and should be countered by proper balancing. Get your defeatist garbage out of here.

Allowing builders more control over who can manufacture their designs is good for SM as a whole. This is not a DRM issue. This is more like a patent issue. And yes, DRM is unpopular. Why is that? Three reasons. It gets in the way of legitimate customers, it makes moving software from one...

700 to 1000 meters!!? Jesus christ, man, think of people's computers. Not to mention balance... I thought we were trying to get away from gigantism.

DRM will not remove "innovation from ship design." My evidence? The faction community, which creates and does not widely distribute their designs. Why do they keep innovating? Because they need to fly better ships than the competition. The same would apply to shipwrights under such a system, who...

My point is that it's impossible to for someone to go, "I'm a ship manufacturer!" on a server, because it's easier to mine your own resources and make your own PERFECTLY IDENTICAL copy of someone's stolen design than to go and buy a copy from the original person who made it. So no, not good...

You are aware that is essentially impossible to sell the same ship to someone twice, yes?

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA No. Players need a way to manufacture vessels and make sure that people aren't making literal identical copies of it. This isn't like building a boat where people need to dissect your designs to make something that's a close copy, a process that takes time and effort. You can...

At least your game doesn't look like this when you're far away from things...
