That's a neat damage display, dynamic yet incredibly simple.

Your idea is quite usable. It addresses the OP's concerns, and mine, and others in this thread. I would suggest that there be protections from server admins as well. The only thing a server admin should be able to do is either remove the blueprint/design from the server, or to add the...

So, then, in your opinion, is the OP's suggestion a form of DRM? And would it prevent you from wanting to acquire a ship of their (or anyone else using the DRM) design? Oh gosh, patents? Do you really want to open that can of worms? :P

I get what he is saying though. You know full well what Steam is when you download it and start buying games. What he would consider involuntary DRM is the shit they surprise you with. Like, oh, you can only install it three times, then sucks to be you. Or not informing you that you have to...

Increasing the difficulty in copying an original design falls under "try(ing) to control the use, modification, and distribution of copyright works (your ships)". If you read the article linked in my response a bit up the thread, you'll see that copying is a major issue in DRM and copyright...

EDIT: And I agree with that, with the added stipulation that if you don't want people to copy your designs easily, then you don't want it on CC, therefore a rule enforcing that should be in play as well. Uhm, you've missed the part right below it. That's directly from your original post, is...

Digital rights management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Is that good enough, sir? Incorrect. I added a stipulation that protected designs be prevented from being uploaded to CC.

In that image of your control room, what are the columns made of? Carved dolom?

And if you fail to understand that the main reasoning is flawed and will not work as intended, and only leave the secondary effects in play and their fallout, then there is nothing I can do for you. As for copying and pasting, they only have to go through that process once. Then they can save...

Neat little pond hopper. :) Remember the Canterbury.

It's still about protecting the creator whether you like it or not. And the idea as the OP outlined would not make selling more than 1 ship a thing any more than it is now. Making a blueprint isn't the only way to make a ship, it's just the easiest. As authors, movie houses and music houses...

As part of your idea, could we also have display blocks able to display more information? Weapons, jump drive charge, jump inhibitor charge, etc, etc, would allow display blocks to be infinitely more useful.

Hey, finally! :) Looking forward to seeing your stuff!

Uhm, no, you don't have to make a faction or partake of faction politics. That is not the only way to play this game. I don't see how you or anyone else could think this at all. I don't see how my suggestion doesn't result in the proposed idea happening: Faction A designs/builds a line of...

Okay, I am feeling brave enough. May my ship be displayed too? GS-91-1000-STANDARD

There are a lot of good points in here. And what is happening here is an old argument: protection of a creator's creations vs allowing the public at large to build upon what has already been done. The original intent of copyright was to allow a creator to benefit from their creations, but in...

I think this is a decent idea, Edymnion. Though, I'm someone who would take a fighter over a titan most of the time.

Okay, but answer me this then: If the players or server admin can already fiddle with the prices, why does Schine need to make a change to the vanilla game? 'Cause I've pointed out that it's possible already to do what the OP wants to do with some fiddling with the settings. Also, the OP...

Hongcouver. XD
