      First time you attacked a pirate station?

      My first attempt at a deliberate attack on a pirate station was with this. This was long before the weapons update and before they started giving pirates shields. So I just circled the station picked off the turrets one by one.

      Has anyone else had this problem while building?

      Thanks for the responses. This seems different than the regular chunk error; as it persist through undo/redos, restarts, BP spawns and even a complete re-installation of the game. It seems to be stuck on this specific craft. This is kind of irritating because my structure is pretty big...

      Has anyone else had this problem while building?

      Ok, I'm doing a rebuild of my Mobile Command system, when I ran into a really weird problem. I cannot add or remove blocks in a specific part of the craft. If I add a block, it doesn't appear visually, although it retains its collision and parameters. Building on top of the block results...

      You challenged. I accepted. You threatened. I invalidated your threat. That's all; nothing more, nothing less. We're not here to pick on you, and I am sorry that you took it that way. You're being overly sensitive and irrational. Maybe this will be my last exchange with you; as you...

      Agreed on both points. We need to circumvent the possibility of workaround/exploits. If you want another player's design, ask for it, buy it, reverse engineer it or go look on community content. With the exception of admins perfoming their server admin duties, there should be absolutely no...

      The solution was not Adding Auxiliary Power...

      Personaly, I think these need a rework. I just built a craft with a standalone 7 million power generation/sec and no docked reactors. I slapped on some auxiliary units to see what would happen and when I activated the aux system, ALL the power was dumped into the main power. It did this...

      While this might be ok for smaller ships, I don't think it's a good idea for big ships and stations. After all, larger ships need to take substantially less damage to be considered 'destroyed'. You could take, for example, an Imperial Star Destroyer, and pelt it with cannon fire until it...

      Then he 'threatens' me like he's going to jump through my computer screen... :D Hilarious isn't it?

      Damn... You guys toasted him. I guess now we can add another one to the pile of irrational arguments. I hope you realize that you've invalidated your entire argument with this cluster of statements. To quote Madman198237 "Do us all a favor---do not try to tell us what we think or...

      Lets get rid of the terms DRM and Licensing for the duration of this discussion. They are not even relevant to what we are proposing. JinM, I'd like you to explain to us why you feel so entitled to use other players' work who have clearly shown an active disinterest in making it available to...

      That's basically a fleshed out variant of the "Licensed blueprint" option I mentioned earlier (repairs at shipyards but no copying). Are you sure you guys aren't over-complicating this?

      Good lord, that's a lot of text... :eek: Ok. Here goes nothing... CC will not be impacted and mostly server-side ship manufacturers will be issuing the limited blueprints of ships that aren't on CC anyway. You can't lose what you never had. Not unless the designer specifically wanted that...

      Sooo. What you're saying is; you don't fully understand what we're suggesting and that scares you? Alright, I can sense that you aren't trolling. You're obviously bothered by this so why don't you give us a list of what this idea is supposedly going to take from you. We'll go over each...

      We are not obligated to share JinM. We may choose to share but that is our choice; not your right. With that said, you are more than welcome to continue to use community content. That's what it's there for. Other than naming the original artist, we are not proposing a change to CC. Just...

      It's also important to remember that regardless of whether or not this suggestion is implemented, the choice to share (or not share) will always be made by the original designer. This idea will entice the more secretive designers to share more freely (for an in-game price), while leaving the...

      You need to read the previous parts of the discussion then. We clearly stated that this is server side; for the propose of in-game security, possible shipwrights' markets and to stop plagiarism. Where in all of our discussion are we taking anything from you that you would not already be...
