Now this is really going off topic, but that's why using three-letter file extensions to do anything except indicate the intended use to the user is so wrong that I can't even begin to figure out who thought that would be a good idea. A proper OS should have other ways to determine the contents...

To be fair, probably many if not most of them are children.

A valid skin file is basically a zip archive containing four images, however you can stuff whatever you want in there, and upload it to the server. However there are at least basic checks in place server-side, and even if the server sent that 'bad' skin back to anyone (which I doubt it does, but...

Well yes, but I think the problem also applies to stations with hangars etc, and probably more important, planets with lots of caves... which makes changes to the engine the sensible way to go, and therefore may even not be that far off.

Why not consider that's how it's supposed to be? Think submarines versus battleships; you wouldn't expect to have an aircraft carrier vanish from your screen, however a submarine... a small(-ish), specialized craft with limited, yet focused purpose... I'd be totally down with this.

Not disagreeing, but in a limited way this is even in the game already - using hidden beacon blocks for "fog effects lite".

Admittedly I haven't put much thought into this, but as a stop gap, couldn't you use one of the 0.01 mass blocks? Or maybe even edit the mass of one/some of them down even more, or create a new block with the modding tools or a text editor. I'm not certain action by Schine is required at this...

Schine-se?

30 m? They better tack another zero onto that... I mean seriously... space whales need to be spacious...

Thanks for telling me, really, I had no idea. I guess I'm going to ask for your consent next time I think I know what I want? Sigh indeed.

Player shops aren't working as intended at the moment, and neither is the trading guild (nor pirates for that matter). If they can't do basic accounting, that's clearly not desirable. There has been talk about revamping the whole trading system, including changing the trading guild from popping...

Ooooooops sorry I was not aware of that specific bug, can you forgive me? Just this one time? Please? Here, have a heart! I do agree with that, on my server the shop spawning probability is 1E-5... still I think it would be nice to have an option for auto-trading with the trading guild. It...

Very much this. Not having to have a permission module next to every block would solve a lot of construction constraints. Also if access control lists or some other more fine-grained control method ever becomes a thing, having a few centralized permission modules would make administration that...

Maybe the fix should have been to turn it into a config setting... hope is not lost though that it will happen some time along the planned NPC/RP features.

IMO that is a matter of server moderation policy, same as with character or ship names; if the server is fine with that, it's their playground... I know I'll be off that server the minute I come across such a system.

If you find a way to make that red arrow permanent. And even then people would miss it. EDIT: Also, filing a bug there requires an extra registration, which may present an additional disincentive.

Yes, but to be fair, the topic originally was about Point Defense Turrets ; )

Maybe there needs to be a fourth option, "No thank you, keep it the way it is"? LOL yeah right. Time to hit the sack... nighty.

True, but explicitly mentions "bleeding" into adjacent systems, so it may be of no consequence, or even desirable, if the claimed space doesn't fit nicely. I would favor even larger volumes, say 9^3, so a system could be claimed with eight beacons (and have some overlap), provided they can be...

This, or a separate CAD workstation where you go into design mode, and when finished, transfer the design to the manufacturing section (current shipyard computer), manually or wirelessly. Some time ago there was talk about adding functions to the decorative PC, like mail access; a CAD program...
