Jack isn't the leader of the SB RWI faction to my knowledge. To the topic, I believe it will happen as the game develops. People said it wouldn't happen in Eve, and now burning Jita is a damn holiday for Eve. Other large scale battles happen all the time. The same is true in Atlas. Logistics...

This is so obvious, why didn't I think of that?!

I was more responding to Five, Calen, lol.

No, the problem is the compounding of two hard things. First is obviously hard to aquire. The second is after you aquire it, you have to be able to use it. Yet factions are likely to be well aware of the status of transponders, and so being able to utilize them for infiltration is about 0. When...

The issue I see is that its not really usable if you have to steal the transponder.

If you have any blender experience, its really not bad at all.

I think hex should be possible, but I personally am not a fan of hex numbers. I would kinda hate to have to steal someones transponder to do some impersonation though. Stealing the identifier or frequency would be a lot nicer.

That is all very fair. The thing is, the tripods aren't linkable, and are one person to one gun. How viable are these in a multicrew ship use? The argument that they aren't very viable is fairly strong. However, if we look at gunships in the aircraft sense instead of ship sense, the tripods as...

So, how do we impersonate another ship?

So,a heavily armored, heavily personneled, gunship? Sounds like the devs current idea with the tripods honestly.

Used once meaning each ships identifier is unique to the ship, or used once like every time its spawned and despaired it gets a new number?

I have a feeling you haven't actually read the post here, and I don't have to move to a different thread in order to have a relevant discussion here. Your own alternatives are borked and untenable, and instead of admit that and brainstorm, you're having a knee jerk reaction because you worry...

Do you think massive miners are going to be the go to mechanism for mining? I really can't see that. Large miners (given current limits) are already unwieldy beasts. They also stand literally no chance against pirates currently due to the current borkness of turrets. The turrets we currently...

Thats a mechanic that's not implemented. I also still have no interest in being at a time and place I know people like yourself would be sitting. In SB, unlike Eve, I can avoid gates altogether. Which I will. How about you take you're own advice here and devise ways to pursue the people like me...

There is plenty of risk without serving myself on a silver platter to you. :P

Quevin, I don't think having more to do on your ship, and having a fairly well balanced faster speed mode (that doesn't remove you from the game world, unlike some ideas out there) are mutually exclusive. Many people just are going to avoid the gates. I personally don't want to be ganked, and...

I don't think you understand the argument going on here. No one has a problem with adding the tripods. We have a problem with completely tossing the current turrets aesthetically. For style reasons. I can't speak for you, but mounting a rail cannon on top of a dinky tripod mount looks goofy...

No no, i understand the speeds themselves, but what determines the ability of a ship to reach those speeds. Or are you saying all ships would be capable of warp 10 here?

So, we moved this discussion here, which is great! Better visibility. So, I'd like to ask here, What method would be used to determine warp factor? As in maximum warp speed. I would imagine exponential power supply requirements that increase related to ship mass. I also think it important that...

That's too bad tbh. I'd like to see their spaceframes used for something interesting.
