And there's the matter of collision checks. Things moving on active rails (and even things at the ends of rails that aren't moving but potentially could if another rail block was put at the end) are constantly causing collision checks. Its a major source of lag. The bigger the objects being...

Well its like anything else, there are costs and tradeoffs to everything. A titan as part of a well built fleet is going to make you damned near unstoppable. A titan as part of a poorly built fleet is still going to be a major threat. A titan on it's own is going to get blown to hell and...

So you want to take the protection that is specifically in place to help protect new players from being abused by established players, and give it only to the established players? Here's an idea, how about we flip that? Only 1 man factions get invincibility, and when you get more faction...

Well, a lot of that power ends up going to thrusters. Thrusters suffer from diminishing returns, each additional thruster you place on a ship gives you slightly less thrust than the one before it, but still uses the same amount of power. Very large, titan sized ships end up being so heavy that...

I didn't say I'd pay that per month, I said I'd pay an extra $20 on the box price. As in if the finished game sells for $40, I'd pay $60 to get access to better servers. I might swing $5 a month for a subscription service for this game, but if I was willing to pay $20 a month on it I'd just go...

Role wise, I consider a titan to be the backbone of a fleet. Its a tank. Its big, its slow, it has tremendous firepower, but alone its pretty vulnerable. Half of it's job is the pure "Holy crap, LOOK AT THAT THING!" intimidation factor, but it's main role should be to assist the fleet. Tons...

People still pay subscriptions for WoW when there are pirate servers available. I'd pay an extra $20 on the box price of the game to get access to professionally run servers that have a professional moderation staff attending to them.

I would definitely want such a server to require a full price purchase of the game. Or maybe better yet, have server access be part of a premium package. Standard buy gets you the game and access to public user created servers. Premium buy gets you access to officially run and monitored...

Since Schine doesn't want to make any "official" ship classifications, its going to be different for every server, but IMO a titan is: Roughly a kilometer long on it's longest axis. Shielding in the tens of millions (30+ million bare minimum, I'd consider 50-100m to be a much better range)...

Dear God, yes. I would play on an official "Run by Schine" server in a heartbeat.

I'm thinking I should. Just play single player for a month or two and there will be a whole new batch of servers out there anyway when 90% of the current ones fold.

I wasn't demanding anyone make or provide anything. I was venting that the server base has moved away from vanilla to an extent that it is now difficult to find a vanilla server. And not all of us are so financially well off that "Oh, I should just go drop $20-30 a month on a hosting server...

Well if I had to take a guess, I'd say you are shelling out for a server and are running exactly the kind of one I at least wouldn't want to play on, so you're taking it personally. That or you're just trying to pick a fight you have no dog in, but I'm going to assume the former. Not everyone...

According to the forum thread for NW over in Servers: PvP Enhanced Pirates "Very Generous" Mining Bonus Buffed up starter ship "because you'll need it" And from the picture of the spawn station, I believe I took a look at it already while I was digging around and I think that is one I was told...

My requirements list for an ideal server: PvE - Not interested in PvP in the way most people define it. If jumping somebody while they're out mining is considered acceptable behavior, I don't want to play on the server. Two people who want to fight? Great, more power to 'em. But when people...

Ugh, I am having a devil of a time trying to find an acceptable server to play on these days. It seems nobody really does a plain vanilla PvE server anymore. Everybody is "Huge mining bonus!/Hardcore 1x mining bonus only", "No solo factions", "Vote for our server and get God Mode!", "Block...

Bumping this now that we have fleet commands, getting drones in on one pickup point that can then be move up or down as needed by logic to fill bays would be very useful.

And to re-iterate from earlier, you will need that many in the ship/station to rotate the base of the turret, and as many again in the base of the turret to tilt the top. Enhancers only affect the axis on the same entity as the enhancers, so two part turrets have two axis points that need...

Not the turrets, just the onboard systems like weapons and salvage arrays. Why? Well starting on a new server, I picked my temporary planet base location to get started, built a house into a cliff face so I could dock my miner hanging out over the plate without having to do messy landings...

Bye, the door is over there.
