    Comets

    I wasn't clear enough in my original post; I meant that the comet would be a moving planet that travels constantly towards Eos, then starts to burn up 'on entry', the same way falling rocket parts and satellites do when entering Earth's atmosphere too quickly. The comet would heat up and...

    Comets

    The most exciting time to play in games like Rust is at the wipe. Everyone is back on equal footing, and there is a mad scramble for resources and territory as players establish a new order. By Monday the server population has halved, by Wednesday only 10 people are online giving their guns...

    Jerry-rigging

    Are you sure? When I tried it in the designer, the thrusters received signals but would only actually turn on once the MFC + FCU were added.

    Jerry-rigging

    It would be cool if ship components worked without the need for the game to recognise them as a complete ship. I can think of a few uses for this: -Stick a transponder on a battery to create a temporary beacon. Use YOLOL to have it flash on and off. -Put thrusters on an asteroid and crash it...

    Add a PvP-oriented Origin station

    Based on this post, it sounds like the issue we agree on will be fixed - repair will be getting easier and salvage more profitable in future. I don't think adding a PvP zone and cheap combat ships would kill the game, as long as it's balanced so that more advanced ships are a lot stronger than...

    Safezone changes

    An example of how a player station law could work. Let’s say you can choose whether or not to allow other players to mine asteroids within your station’s jurisdiction. First, you’d need to build a scanner building that can detect and message any ships that enter your range. A basic station would...

    Safezone changes

    Here’s an idea I had for how safezones could be changed: Station safezones would be split into two zones: let’s call them the ‘blue zone’/ ‘shield zone’ and the ‘green zone’ / ‘jurisdiction’. The blue zone is the closest 1500-2000(?)m zone where you can currently access station storage and...

    Add a PvP-oriented Origin station

    At the moment, the barrier to entry for PvP is quite high. New players need to learn quite a lot just to be able to access ship weapons, and the cost of buying new ships and the time it takes to repair are prohibitive if you want to get into lots of fights. Quite a lot of my friends who are into...
