As Cav said, insurance is planned, you don't lose everything even if your stuff gets yoinked. Plus I remember hearing that the 3D printers coming could make ships segments, which would make it easier to rebuild ships if insurance doesn't reimburse costs. Losing what you have really isn't as big...

That's a shame, you've been doing a good job!

yeah if it didn't I'd be even more concerned than I already am

IMO I think the game could be ready for an EA release if it just had a few things implemented first, notably: - Trading ships - Attacking stations I think that the community could easily build it's own economy if we were able to trade the ships we build or sell them on the market, it would...

You misunderstand, we DON'T want griefers to have an indestructible griefing tool, since it would make life miserable for ANYBODY at the receiving end. Even if it wasn't particularly effective, people would still use it because they can be as annoying as they want with no chance for repercussions.

Could you give us an mspaint version of what you are imagining? This is how I imagine what you are saying, in short, it doesn't work, if it did, my ship would be a hellova lot faster, since it has a similar thruster configuration. btw we call these angled thrusters

What @CalenLoki said, but I also want to add that angled thrusters can be useful for increasing turning speed, although they cannot increase forward thrust.

I don't think it addresses the problem of bringing in civcap ships to grief by blocking areas in combat zones, except the idea I posted in the main thread I can't think of any way to really solve this problem.

I think that if the capitol ships get shipped as stated, that they should disable any kind of shields while moving or jumping, and have their shields turn on when switched off/idle, to prevent offline raiding while away. It would mean that capitols cannot just waltz into wherever they like...

The problem being that being able to attack people without them being able to attack back is that it's no fun for anyone except 12yros who think that being unstoppable is the most fun you can have in a videogame. Another problem being that people can bring their "doorstep" straight towards...

I'm honestly not a fan of seeing a permanently invulnerable ship being made available, I feel that ships like these are ripe for abuse and will not be used how I assume you intend them to be used, a mobile base for those who don't want to fight, but instead, as a portable safezone for anyone to...

There will be only one server, but safezones for people who don't like combat and PVP zones for people who do

It may be possible, but it is far from feasible. And I really don't think drones would be able to mine. They do not have any way of checking ores, so they can't get specific things, and drones would not be able to return from the belt if there isn't a player constantly loading the ship within...

no. As far as I know, everything will be pushed in expansions or free content packs, there won't be any purchases outside of the initial one.

I think if this was implemented it would immediately take over the meta, the ability to simply edit other people's thruster output is alone game-breaking, I know from experience that flying a ship without full control over the thrusters is mentally painful. Besides, simply removing bits of code...

Yeah, I'd say the only viable use for capitol size ships would be as spacecraft carrier ships, maybe equipped with some larger weapons to take down larger ships as well (if they ever get implemented that is).

How so? You could just steal the whole ship by slicing it up and grabbing it with some tractor beams and cargo lock beams. And if you can't do that, you can always just use a resource bridge to transfer over any small cargo once you have access to the controls. Using a cargo lock frame for...

I do want to ask: what niche would you think that mechs would fill if they're added? Where would it be better to use a mech over something else? Ship boarding would only be possible with endos, since hallways are small, space combat is only possible with ships, and surface combat is just not...

Basically, you won't really be allowed to troll or mess with players, especially new players, while they are inside the starting safe zone, so that they don't get discouraged and leave the game. But everywhere outside the starting zone is generally free reign, as long as you aren't doing...

I can't say for the full release, but I'm pretty sure most inter-faction conflict is being frowned upon in the Alpha, mostly since we do need to be testing mechanics and things rather than fighting amongst ourselves.
