Yes, that's the issue this entire thread is covering. However, personalizing a ship that's DOCKED TO THE HB will only personalize it (and anything docked to it), and NOT the HB. It's a pointless addition, preventing setting personal on something docked to a HB.

What snowball effect? You're not making any sense. What are you trying to prevent here?

I think I linked that one in chat or in threads at least two dozen times, just on my own.

No, I understood what you were saying. It just doesn't make any sense. Why shouldn't people be able to set their ship to personal then they're docked to the HB?

Personally, I've found beams and missiles to be the most effective against small ships. They're too agile to take down with cannons. Missiles meaning missile/beam, specifically. Swarmers can be outrun by fighters.

What? That doesn't make any sense. You can do that. They're called faction permission modules. Have you actually tested this? Because it won't always work. Area triggers are unreliable at best.

I think you've completely misunderstood this post. Faction Modules (NOT faction PERMISSION modules) have a setting that allows you to lock a ship to a specific rank, or to personal, which means only the person who set it can use it. If a faction wants people to be able to use all the doors and...

Well, you'd generally be using two different fleets on those servers anyway, so I'm not sure why it matters. Considering how the default beam range is 2.5km (0.5x sector size), I'm going to go out on a limb and say there are VERY FEW ships that are larger than the range of the beams.

Any server with a mandatory class system (that isn't a customized RP server) is a bad server.

I'd like it if food was a necessity for NPCs, but not players, because having to stop every 5 minutes to eat is annoying. I'd also like if we avoided potion-like buffs for players. They aren't "optional," they become a necessity. Just look at Minecraft PvP. Everyone just takes the most powerful...

Welcome to the faction scene! Good luck.

Good idea. They war dec a lot of people for no reason (Thryn and TNT have both been war dec'd by them)

Awesome. I was wondering when this stuff would get moved over.

-Jamming doesn't work with AI or logic. -Range is any sector touching the sector the inhibitor is in -Your glass cannon inhibitor will die horribly to a swarm of lock on missile turrets because PD doesn't work properly

Rules for "evil factions" -Don't mercilessly attack people after you've already annihilated them, if they have no chance of putting up anything resembling meaningful resistance, or if they're just PvE players. -Don't be a dick outside the game. The actual reasons to fight will develop as the...

Crew quarter size can vary massively between ships, though, and this isn't even a real system in the game yet. In order of most to least usefulness of classifying ships... Block count, mass, dimensions, crew capabilities.

There haven't been any major combat exploits that saw use in faction warfare since the overdrive bug. Sure, there was the shield drain beam bug, but afaik that never saw use between any major factions.

How so? Pulse/Pulse would have standard range like the other reworked pulses. Congrats on not actually reading, genius. Way to ad-hominem.

I'm almost 100% sure the devs have no plans to massively limit players ability to mine by doing something as moronic as this. This classification system doesn't really say anything about the actual size of a craft, which is the most important part of a size-based classification system.
