Never thought of that, but from how I know display blocks work, I don't see any reason we can't have those.

Remember that I was originally talking about scrap alloy and scrap composite... Those would not have any attributes that can vary from item to item. They're just unplaceable so I see no reason they should be taking up block IDs. If we were trying to stack other metaitems that actually have data...

Aw, no spammy lava chainpost? I am almost disappointed.

Can't metaitem stacks be "special" inventory entries, though? Like the multistacks, sort of, ish. The game could specially check metaitems when you try to stack them and if the types don't match the stack operation will cancel.

That means having AI ships load the sector they're in, or at least somehow simulate an abstract version of their sector along with the jumpgate in it... Weird, albeit possible, and it just strikes me as overcomplicated.

Or, y'know. Just have beaming to a ship automatically align you to it.

In the particular example of our ships, Jstenholt, we DO have great big unused cargo bays... at the moment we call them shuttlebays because we haven't put teleporters in yet. :P

That was supposed to be - partially - fixed last update...

Hehe, cards... Like... Trello cards. I see what you did there.

Yes, they are working on something. Ever notice how unstable servers have been recently? Schema, and the testers, and server owners have been working together just trying to get the game to stop constantly nuking itself. Also, bugs like the odd problem with beams hitting entities behind what you...

Guys, don't get ahead of yourselves. Tomorrow is just bugfixes; the update that's supposed to come on the 20-something-th is the cargo update. Next week, though, and moreso the week after, keep an eye out for new dev builds. You never know. ;)

Lava? Lava.

Perhaps. At any rate, apparently most servers are having similar problems with the latest update so we may as well stay on SS (once the problems are fixed by Friday's bugfix patch) unless something happens again.

This capability will probably change. It is mostly needed because shipyards are buggy and because you can't build station blueprints using an equivalent to the shipyard system yet.

Judging from current plans I'd say that new players could temporarily join the Trading Guild to get some funds and resources together, then leave to create their own faction... Remember, not everyone will want, or need their own private faction eventually.

NO! That is no better than our current system; people will just stick in a single base with 100% protection and never do anything to anyone else because everyone else is too. And in the event that someone actually did split up protection to more than 2 bases or so, someone would look up their...

Jump height doesn't need to be reduced. What's needed is 'smart jumping', i.e. the AI being able to figure out how high it has to jump to traverse a given incline. (It also needs to recognize ramps as traversible without jumping.)

Given the way the map and the home-base system are currently set up, I'd rather keep the homebase locations in the diplomacy menu... For now the ability to locate each other's bases isn't a bad thing by any means; it's not like anyone can do serious damage, or that you can even hide a base...

Welp, never mind then; I didn't look :P

Yep. Once a system like this is in we won't really need faction homebases in the first place, although if stations in general get a large buff...
