My understanding is that Empire will be the enforcers of Saltberia and it will be an Empire installation.

Lol. Welcome to alpha testing.

You can do that now

I'll get there eventually!

I wouldn't change it until we have sensors. Right now its the only method of even knowing someone is nearby.

I think having to make a design decision based on anticipated range of use should be a part of the whole process.

Do you think maybe part of why you can't reach max speed is too many thrusters?

If you're flying inside the belt at max speed, you're just asking to waste a lot of money on repairs and ship replacements. That is not an equation for competitiveness. That's misleading. Their combat speeds were faster. Their cruising speeds were not faster than frigates or corvettes. Which...

Large ships are going to be slower. It it wasn't for trying to straight line to various places as fast as possible, I don't think you would see that kind of spam as much. I don't have a problem with making box thrusters be modular in a way that makes them longer for higher thrust. They would...

No one is flying through the belt at max speed. Miners don't need to be speed demons. I'm not sure how you define a competitive miner, but Okim's are the ones I prefer for the task, because they aren't about a single minded pursuit of wasteful resource expenditure.

No. Its not even remotely true that everyone maxes speed, nor is it true that most competitive anything strive for it. I don't think any of Okim's designs hit 150 m/s for example. Also, there is no way to acceptably solve this complaint with only one game mechanic. It'll require interlocking...

I agree that people's desire to have maxxed speed is the root problem. You don't need to zip around at max speed. Its wasteful. When talking to my friends on this topic, we think a medium speed option (a drive between thrusters and the warp gates) is a desirable option. Then the long hauls don't...

The answer is no, and thank god there won't be.

Can I see it as it is now?

How can I become a master endo like you guys?! But Five, I want to see this. How large are we talking here?

Oh, I'm not familiar with the reference lol

No, Joel has a throne ship that the Kingdoms council uses for meetings.

So... The Kingdom Does have a capitol ship ;)

The entire motivation for combat, which is one of the few things in the game right now, is faction conflict. Alpha is where the big changes and super strict rules belong, not a game open to the masses. Every MMO has learned this, often the hard way.

If EA is open to everyone, then it makes no sense to go nuts against these things in it. Thats a good way to kill your revenue stream in a hurry.
