I only accept time-coins (because time is the only true value in life) :=) (EDIT: I don't know anyone trading time-coins, but maybe someone on the SM-portal will?)

Crew is only 2 blocks. Ships are 32x32x32 chunks. collision checks are a lot easier. The single dude needs a quarter for his Brainware (limited™) → Mindware (shared but unlocked individually™) → Thoughtware (Unlocked with Mindware™).

I have edited the quote: Green = Like Grey = Irrelevant (personal opinion alert!) White = Maybe Bump/Height-mapped display modules which show 16-colours (hexadecimal) would really mock-up the game. They could be floating screens if they have a display-offset in depth (a second hexadecimal to...

I think this is a basically the same discusion about "why play MP vs why play SP/PvE+RP?"

Which server should I go if I want to: … continue … to be … PvP with small ships only No trolling vs my large builds be mostly creative invite other peoples visiting my builds without having to worry about sabotage … … to be … continued … Right now no server allows that without involving...

Why do we not just allow a wormhole to jump ships/players between servers, handling that wormhole like a storage-box + shipyard? Really, what is the difference between a SinglePlayer-MP wormhole and a shipyard server-side? PvP-peoples forget that some only want to join a server to be able to...

I'd like pirate stations which show the rules for a 64x64x64 sector box. Can admins spawn them by default when a new sector is loaded without such a station around and choose which blueprint to spawn there? This sounds like stuff you would write custom launchers for. Peoples might kill these...

If that where the case, weapons would do 0 damage on RP servers because blockConfig.xml-editing admins would choose that.

+1 for all ideas, but it shouldn't create exploits. Anomalies could allow cheaper jump-drives but limited ones. Pulsars would make mining more interesting. Relicts could be exploits but are generally good!

That is ok, as long as you do not demand money from early-supporters or advertise a non-working version as "current stable", which makes servers update and essentially bans these. Also I would include players as supporters as long as they spend time into feedback, as long as this is encouraged...

Economy 1*1 A company has >51% market share: for it, it is easier to fight other participants than growing by fair competition. A company has <10% market share: If it fights one other, at least 8 others will profit from it by losing competition. thus it's a no-go most of the time. Demand...

Some larger multi-server factions complained about being unable to defend themselves against trolls, especially griefing, but I guess logic fixed most of the issue (passwords with display modules) together with minefields, sector-loaded detectors and stuff. It also depends where you travel. If...

Only until you can get 2 characters per account. Switching works like teleporting and swapping inventory. (logging one of and the other on or making it an NPC during that time?).

I don't think you understood (jet). There is no past or future. Only a common present. Time is the "inner rate of change". Travelling to the future is by lowering your rate of change. Travelling to the past is by forking the universe, press the fast-forward button for the fork and TP something...

Perhaps you should choose good/bad for one reincarnation. Good gets better mining bonus, bad gets better PvP buffs. (HU·MAN_LIGHT) / ↑ \ // (__HU·MAN_FIRE_)-‹ .|. ›---(DE·MON_EARTH) // / \ | / \ // (HU·MAN_WATER)--‹ . ›Ø‹ . ›--(DE·MON_WATER) // \ / | \ / // (HU·MAN_EARTH)---‹ .|...

CPU-power should be distributed among players … We could have time-flow-zones where systems have a slightly different flow of time (10% increased/decreased compared to the neighbour). Unloaded systems would get adjusted on load. IRL we also have different time-flow-zones. The closer to...

If each account supports multiple "characters" selectable ingame, you could have a pirate-character and a creative-character. Fun-Killers are subject to the Fermi-Dirac statistic (repelling), Cooperative players benefit from the Bose-Einstein statistic (attraction).

Spawn should have newbie-ships. Taking one could reset your positive Karma (it is called credits). A warning tells it to you. If you shoot down these newbie-ships, you get bad Karma which can only be purged by helping newbies or paying those who do.

You can use bezier curves. They are easy to compute (I used them to draw objects via JavaScript without drivers). with( F=frame, T=0.0, t=+1.0/second, XYZ=000, xyz=movement/second )you usually do: F00: T, X, Y, Z = 0 0 0 0 F30: T, X, Y, Z = T+t, X+x, Y+y, Z+z But bezier curves have 2 movements...

Conscious AIs NPC-religion Functional Magic Science Foundations Game Optimisation I didn't know where else I should put it. Panpiper It isn't exactly a suggestion yet and neither it's completely off-topic. It overlaps too much for being in one place (maybe the post's position is a diffuse...
