As long as scaling is based on the current prices set in the shop, and prices can still be adjusted individually (both of which I guess are implied by suggesting to add price scaling), this would indeed be a very welcome feature.

Let me rephrase it then... nobody thought anyone would be crazy enough to offer 2.5 billion (from what I have heard)... And even if I would resist, if M$ decides to then feed those 2.5B to their lawyers, how long would you think anyone could continue their "minecraft"?

Market economy by its very definition is based on scarcity of resources. Unlimited resources are great for a gift economy, or creative mode. For all it is worth, resources in SM are still unlimited even if asteroids (or planets) don't respawn - just move to the next system, or galaxy if you...

The only caveat I see with introducing stuff like this is you'd need additional connections to authentication servers that decide whether or not you are allowed to switch skins, or possibly in a future evolution of this concept, spawn blueprint X, or use block Z. What happens when that auth...

My guess is if LegoRobot17 posted how long it takes to render one frame it would become obvious why we don't have graphics this good in game...

You already have that information and more on the HUD's target readout, so it's not too much of a security hole. Still I agree there should be some kind of access control.

This would be awesome in and of itself, allowing to display turrets' status on the bridge, for example.

Using the speed controller to lock rotation sounds good; I'm not so sure about the possibility of using the speed controller to accelerate turret motion though. I'm not saying that would be bad per se, just that its implications need to be considered.

I absolutely support chat timestamps. If you do, could you please consider timestamps for server log messages as well? I'm somewhat tired of having to pipe my logs through filters to make them actually meaningful ; ) Also having timestamps on screenshots would be awesome. EDIT: found it I...

Still work in progress: Conveyor class container ship 12x "DoubleChest™" 20000m³ shipping containers, rated for ~75000t cargo capacity

As far as I can tell, this seems to happen when the server and client are running on the same machine. I've had a "dedicated" server running on the same machine I use for the client (as the OP seems to, or anyone in single player mode), and experienced the exact same problem of the server not...

Admin join the pirate faction, set to public. Without further admin interaction, players can only become the lowest rank pirates, but it may be a starting point. EDIT: A word of caution though, it is possible the pirate faction gets dissolved when the last player leaves, because they don't have...

Luckily, it was only the postman. Wait what, at half eight in the evening? I think it is obvious that Schine doesn't have the capacity to develop an in-house machine translation software, as that, like you say, would be a massive undertaking. However, there seem to be a few open-source...

I care about the mindless, boundless collection of data by corporations for purposes I don't even dare to dream of. Every piece of dirt you give to abc.xyz ends up being processed, analyzed, and used beyond the mere translation that shows up on the surface. I don't want G* to know when I said...

I see. I just got the archive, I prefer to install my stuff manually. Seems to pay off ; )

Using Steam? Don't... I just downloaded (not on Steam).

Wave management? Awesome!

Correction: A station doesn't have to power thrusters. The offset being that it cannot move. Not having to power weapons or shields would be the designer's choice.

Nice; the only thing that immediately caught my eye is the "S. DRAIN" - I feel it doesn't blend well with the other systems having either their full names or TLAs; how about either "SDC", or "SHIELD DRAIN" using a font size similar to the "RADAR JAMMER" ("R. JAMMER" would look just as odd IMO)?

Funny how you're telling me something that isn't even in game yet is already balanced... Stations and ships are not able to do the same things - ships move, stations produce, and one station per faction can be invulnerable if that faction chooses to, if the server even allows it. You want to...
