That's essentially the notion. Telepresence or super-high bandwidth remote comms that would allow virtual 3C of ships & stations, holographic meetings, etc. I like the idea of using remote holograms to "spawn in" NPCs for RP stuff - could be a nice fringe benefit. Ansible

I read ender's game like 20 years ago. I want remote agency, and it's the most appropriate term. Otherwise call it a "long-range remote communications device" or whatever. I challenge you to come up with something more descriptive and equally or more succinct. Please don't hijack this thread...

I suggest an ansible block to give players remote access to other ansibled stations, planets and perhaps even ships within their faction. NPC crew control is coming, and we will be scrambling to keep the crews of our entities organized from sector to sector. This could also eventually be tied...

All of this "managing NPCs" on ships, stations and planets brings out what I feel is a need to implement some kind of means to exercise "remote agency." An ansible block that can be accessed remotely from another entity even several stars away - basically using an implementation similar to the...

The 2015 improvements were amazing - thank you all!

Personally, I don't think they need to implement a new system to "fix the economy" (i.e. make it more like Runescape or any other game). Starmade has the basis for its own economic system - shops & crafting. There are 2 main things crippling it at the moment: Player Shop Capacity Limit Only...

The Banshee's shape, function and general design was inspired by the Fading Suns Universe "Raider Stealthship," and like the Banshee of Terran legend, this phantom is rarely seen but has a voice dangerous to all who hear it. Blackstar's Banshee Class Frigate is a light stealth support...

Or fix the invulnerability without forcing players to use planets instead of stations, but rather allowing them still to use either as a home. Because lag. http://starmadedock.net/threads/station-specific-buff-s.22060/

I seriously thought that this would be of interest, so I'm bumping this to see if weekday traffic takes note. Currently we all basically "work-around" the factory output issue by: Place & connect 2-10 of each factory (saw my first 10-tier factory the other day; 5 was the most i'd seen before)...

I wasn't addressing his proposed solution - which I read and had no comment about - I was addressing his statement that he feels that shields make the game boring. Ion is extremely relevant to that, since a strong 100% Ion weapon can evaporate millions of shields in a few seconds. Are you...

I want home bases to stop being invulnerable too, but the OP suggestion is too Byzantine, IMO. Just provide stations or home stations with a large (2x, 3x or more) buff (static or dynamic) to shields, shield regen, armor, weapon damage and weapon range and make them not show up on everyone's...

You know about Ion Effect, right?

I'm certainly hoping so :)

Just wanting to clarify - currently I can connect a single storage computer to several stacks of cargo modules that don't touch each other and it works fine. I had seen mention prior to the cargo update of a restriction forcing each storage computer to use a single, connected stack of cargo...

Especially since implementation of cargo it would be very helpful to have either a slider or other means to adjust how many of it connected enhancers a factory is using at any given time. e.g. an advanced factory is connected to 10,000 enhancers but the owner only wants to craft 10 of an item...

This is right up there with shops not being able to have different buy/sell prices on the list of problems which would be very easy to fix but linger on month after month.

I'm leaning towards "interactive digital art" personally. I think they're exploring what it can be.

Do you also drive a very large pickup truck? ;-) Personally I think that storage is another (positive) factor in discouraging players from spawning mega-ships in their first 3 days on a server. I ran into someone complaining about lag problems with 6 million cargo blocks yesterday... I really...

Well let's get hover going and find out ;-)
