I was thinking it would be great in bigger factions if there were a "privacy module" to prevent other faction members from using things of yours. For simplicity's sake though using an existing block for this might work better. I understand what "Faction Permission Modules" currently do. They do...

I apologize - I don't mean to hijack the thread with contradiction. The amount of efficiency lost by adding even minor decoration is sometimes annoying. I've just never found the turning to be a big problem. I agree that giant cubes or rods aren't as fun to fly. I don't build those, either. I...

1 is true if your focus is LOOKs. I didn't realize that appearance was your point. It sounds like you're talking about whether you can make ships LOOK like the ships you see in movies... 3 is still false. A cube of 1M mass extends farther in length and height than does a horizontal cylinder of...

Have people seriously not caught on to this? Length 1, Height 1, Width 500 ships turn as smooth as cores. Proof: take 3 minutes to test it right now in sandbox. Get over the Borg already.

Well you should be happy, because 1 & 3 are false. Length & height affect turn speed, width does not. L1, H1, W500 turns like a core. How do builders never notice this??? You are perfectly able to off-center your core to the left or right as far as you want without your turns suffering. A...

That's what I was worried about - that the docking space itself might be the problem. Because that seems a harder issue to fix.

Blocks in docking areas? I don't understand, are you telling me about not blocking the docking area? Because I've built two stations each with 30-50 functioning docking slots on them and both with around 20 ships currently docked on them... some of them 400 & 500 meters in various directions...

Oh man - scanners need an upgrade for sure :) I think scanners should reveal asteroids in their range totally. I think they should also reveal any undiscovered stations, and I think they should absolutely reveal any un-mapped shops in range. Shops WANT to be found. Businesses spend billions on...

So you want a place where you can be really mean to people with missiles, but no one will be mean back to you with words? In my opinion cloak-sniping random people without cause or warning is way nastier than calling someone "noob" or insulting their mother in chat. I don't know any server that...

Has anyone else had problems while working on large docking arrays (i.e. more than 20-30 docking modules and more than a few thousand enhancer blocks)? My performance starts choking up and sometimes multiplayer servers spit me out while I'm expanding them (like repeatedly) even though they are a...

Well that's quite a bit different. I only ever raided gates when I couldn't get a real fight with someone actually online at the time.

That'd be cool but I'd prefer if the existing game features with problems were brought up to speed before tacking on more frill. This is already planned I believe. Same as #1. Let's get the HP system in place, and see trade/crafting working better before adding more features that will probably...

It's a shame too, because without working shops, mining, refining, manufacturing, trading, and building ships for sale all fail to provide viable gameplay. Right now the only viable career that doesn't basically require to conduct your own complete - mostly closed - economy within your faction...

I haven't visited your server yet, but yeah - warpgates and gate stations can be cheap action if no one wants to fight you.

Yep - the entire economy needs an overhaul based on a coherent global plan. It doesn't even matter if there are infinitely stocked shops around spawn. A player can sell goods for substantially less than NPC shops and still make money through mining, refining, and manufacturing. And it's still...

HEAR HEAR! I've been a raider, and those gate lines are like beacons.

I've yet to see any official acknowledgement of the core shop issues (broken permissions, inability to set different buy/sell prices, and either starting all prices at zero or implementing some simple way for owners to entirely deny trade of select items/categories - something to eliminate the...

Be nice if there was just a total delete button to zap an entire structure in one go.

I like the idea of integrated voice with ambient noise inserted. I've played other games with well-done integrated voice and all the bloody players still insist on using 3rd-party VOIP networks like Team Speak anyway. So while the idea is cool, I'd personally put integrated voice on a...

Linked cargo blocks to scale storage capacity is something I would like to see as well. In fact I did a big post on that several weeks back. It ties into so many things though, I just wanted to keep this straightforward and not propose an overhaul of the entire trade & cargo system all in one...
