Yeah, I'm currently hoping that we get Cargo tomorrow, and Crew in the update after that. Personal pet theory on that is that the cargo space designators are going to be floor blocks like the Transporters are, as are the crew area designation blocks. So we start with Transporters that let you...

Oh lawdie, I'd never get the logic wired back together right without starting over from scratch. The bay doors are blast doors, not rail. I have it set up to where you press the wireless button in the ship, the bay door opens one row at a time, a giant glorified CD tray ejects and undocks you...

Nah, I really liked where it was going. I read somewhere that it was probably the logic I had set up that was causing the problem, what I need to do is spawn it into single player creative, strip out the logic, and re-save it to another blueprint. I had it half done before the shipyard update...

Now see, that I would actually rather see than what we have now. Once the API comes out, have it where you can have a client side mod that determines your advanced build parameters instead of having it set on the server. Let everybody set the scale at what they are comfortable with instead of...

Oh hell no, I'm still pissed that my half finished titan can't load it's design into my shipyard I custom build just for it because of the invalid entry error thing! Dafudge am I supposed to do with a shipyard over a kilometer long if I can't finish building my titan in it?

Yeah, I think you did misunderstand. I said (or at least meant to say) that gigantism, the tendancy to build really big stuff, exists in part because it is a status symbol. People with really big stuff are usually the most powerful players on a server. Nauvran said that anybody could do it, I...

Dude, nobody said anything about taking it away, I said to make it server configurable. Let the servers that want to let giant builds like that have it, let those that don't scale it down. Make it work exactly like the current build area does.

And by the time you can, you're not going to be a newbie anymore, and you're going to have built up to the point where you can quickly and easily build on that scale. Nobody is going to be building a titan using nothing but their starting blocks. Having one means you have been around for quite...

A text box, or server configurable, either is fine. Right now, what you claim was done for you and you alone is making life miserable for everyone else in the game. Thats just selfish. People who want to build something with a 100m radius can't even use the damned slider because of how the...

Here's hoping the update tomorrow has the cargo and/or crew stuff in it. I'd like to see what kind of requirements those are going to take so I can start partitioning up the insides of my new stuff.

I don't think we should be basing default game mechanics on anything but default settings.

If anything, gigantasism will never go away for one simple fact. Only powerful factions can build them. They're basically phallic, whoever has the biggest ship on the server is king of the mountain because they had the time and the resources to actually be able to build and maintain that mofo...

What are you building that is 5 sectors wide? Dyson Spheres? How about we crank that mofo down to something a lot more reasonable, and then make it server configurable like build area is now?

And lets face it, most scifi space ships are big. The Enterprise D is 650m long. A star destroyer is 1.6km long. A Peacekeeper command carrier from Farscape is 8.7km long. The Lexx is 10km. A super star destroyer weighs in at a hefty 19km! If you want to make a 1:1 reproduction of your...

Main reason I am completely against anything that removes home base invincibility is because it amounts to a server ban without admin approval. If you completely destroy someone's bases, you have destroyed everything they have worked for, and you have likely stripped them of any resources they...

Yeah, no. I don't want to see anything that allows faction home bases to lose their invulnerability for any reason.

A few miscellaneous requests for the build helper: Fill With Current - Simply automatically fill the template with whatever is in the current slot. Rotate About Axis - Lets you designate blocks already placed as being part of the template, and then revolve that shape around the selected axis...

People just can't win around here. If they post something on the same topic, they get yelled at for not using Search. If they use Search, find an old topic and revive it, people yell about necros. Oi!

Don't know, I've been busy working on a mega station in creative mode to blueprint over onto a server, haven't had a chance to just sit down and tinker with holo turrets yet.

Huh, just ran into this the other day. Didn't know it existed, figure it means others probably didn't know either. I was building a new ship in my shipyard and went in to add a docked reactor through Create Docking. I just gave it a generic name, Ship Reactor 1, didn't think twice about it...
