A server admin from another server told me it's always been there, but wasn't working until now. This admin also had some kind of platform of their own that disappeared. It's not noticeable while you're session is life. It's gone when you logon again. I experimented by building a simple single...

Yeah, I guess I wasn't too clear with the lock mechanic. How I was invisioning it, was to have a locking mechanism that prevents it undocking even if the docker is destroyed. Naturally, this is not a logical behaviour, but it would prevent the enitity collisions. My preferred method would be to...

Perhaps the game itself could just check the blueprint dimensions and insures that if the object is overlapping a sector border, to then automatically realign the edge of the spawned structure say 50-100 metres back from the border. Naturally this would not stop the player building out across...

Perhaps a docking mechanic that allows you to secure or lock the dock, effectively making the docked entity a part of the primary entity whether the dock is destroyed or not. Or perhaps a cascade effect where, if the dock goes so does the docked entity. This could be related to the energy...

A balance mechanism could be to have the number of transport pads change the speed of transport, the same way factory enhancers speed up factories.

Oh yes, onboard logging within the ship would be awesome! I wonder if it would be worth expanding on the whole logbook side of things, but have different logbooks for different functions?

We need a ship diagnostic mechanic for retaining and repairing to work efficiently. This would allow you to ID all the damaged components, where they are and repair them effectively. Otherwise, it's simply to deconstruct and rebuild, whether in a shipyard or by blueprint.

Perhaps a switch in server config for these things. That way for learner or beginner servers it could be available, but series PVP battle servers it could be turned off.

Great questions! I curious about answers to your planet, moon and asteroid belt questions to.

Nice slice of cheese you got there. :)

lol, that would be a risky venture! :) Perhaps Punch-Through could be some kind of wildcard chaos drive, that does all you mentioned. Where you are jumped to a random location in any direction either at the standard jump distance or some random distance lesser or greater than standard. I like...

Hey Zackey_TNT, perhaps you guys could work with Lancake to work out something to make the game play interesting for you guys. I can see the potential for smoke and mirror tactics with whatever algorithm they intend to create for the unloaded combat. This would reach across ships big/small...

I like these a lot! :) Pull effect could be usefull for putting you in reverse if you are pursued to your destination. Kind of like the Vipers do when tailed by Cylons in Battlestar Galactica. Piercing effect could drop the jump a sector short as a safety, leaving you with a small residual...

Ah that's the nugget I've been looking for. It's related to unloaded combat! This now makes a whole lot of sense to me and I agree.

Wow, there is so much passion in this area. I can understand losing a ton of work with the docked reactor builds would frustrate those builders. I'm kinda torn between the two. I like the whole component side of using docked anything. However, I do like the simplicity of the new AUX. I...

OMG, computer games can create a bad influence on your mind. I'm actually laughing at the misfortune of an innocent escape pod occupant. Oh wait, they were just shooting at me, so that justifies me selling them as slaves. ;) Sure I shot first, but that's just semantics.

Oh, I like that you Madman! Sneaky! :)

lol I agree with you that human ingenuity will find a way! :) As with docked reactors, it was an ingenious idea. Sadly, one that came with a heavy cost it seems. I'm sure I'm not the only one to think of how easily weaponising the new auxiliary power is. ;)

This is true! But if it's inside their ship and the rest of the undocked entity ghosts and the warheads don't, boom! Hello belly ache. :)

I think for such exploits you could make it so warheads do not ghost.
