Hi Schema / Schine, Any chance we can get rotators to go with the new fleet rail basics? There are a lot of useful things we could use these for. Interior of large stations where ships could be redirected internally without the rail crossing over and interfering with other movements inside...

Agreed! The new rail blocks have helped me fix an issue with my turbo lift system cutting through floors. All I need now is rail rotators to do the same. These would also make mechanical mechs more practical.

Hmm. There's an update already for this update. v19592 :oops:

I'm an old fan of the game Elite. I thought it would be good to build the classic versions of the ships. In particular, the flag ship Cobra Mk III. So, here it is. I built it in the guise of the original classic version as you would have seen on the British computer the BBC. Elite is one of the...

Hey thanks jayman38. Much appreciated! It took me the day before yesterday to work out the frame, but last night I converted the frame to lights and filled in the panels. I wasn't sure how it would work, but it seemed to look ok. The whole thing is scratch built block by block.

I couldn't wait. I see the idle formation works better. :-)

Ah! As for fleets, I can see what you mean RE: US navy with 6 fleets. I can live with that! The update is out now. Have you started downloading? :-)

Woot woot! :-) Can't wait to try this out when I get home.

I like your thinking! I think they will likely use the existing Faction controls in this instance. And leave the admiralty to internal politics of the faction members. The problem could be mitigated with an additional signal to the last pilot of the ship of the orders with a popup box to click...

But it's so awesome right? They don't battle yet, but the potential is awesome! I played with 3 fleets last night, and it was cool just directing my ships. Jumped on for a ride. Sent a fleet to near a distant wormhole to see what would happen. The ships got sucked and went on this crazy wormhole...

Lol! That would be a cool function. I remember Tribes 2 had a record feature that did something similar for in game battles. But then again, it could be storage intensive and server admins might not want that. Would have to be an option that admins could turn on/off.

This is a more practical idea. This would also allow for eventual external forcefield use in tractor beam scenario. By the way, the fleets controls make a great autopilot. :-) I can give my ship orders to move to a sector, then disconnect from the server and later reconnect to find my ship...

Do suns effect jump drives? I've not had an issue.going through suns, but I guess stopping in one could be an issue. :-)

Can we see course plotting with fleets? I tried sending a formation to a sector using the move order and they obeyed, but crashed into to a station and became stuck. They didn't avoid the station. A course plotting system with multiple coordinates would help. Would be great for plotting courses...

Wow. I had a play with the recent dev build and I love being able to send ships out to designated sectors. Awesome! :-)

There's one important category I missed that comes before formation and that's Armada.

Hi, I see two other threads relating to turbo lifts, one being the gravity based system. Which is nice and quick, but doesn't allow for a lift car. Turbo lift system. Turbolift/Ziptube, Still want them and why I think they are a good Idea I've been wanting to build a turbo lift for a while...

Additional request for me would be a better logging system so you can have a ships log with general and specific logging sections like, Mission, Engineering, Medical, Security and Science logs. Although, a bigger logging system would allow us to created this for ourselves. I guess this would be...

But who will attack the Borg, I mean doom cubes? ;)
