make one

but why would you build one then? in eva the only reason they even CONSIDERED building mechs was because of a specific magical kind of shield they and their enemies had, starbase doesn't have shields, there is no reason in starbase to use mechs over anything else, they'd be cool, but that's about it

Hey, are you guys in this thread realizing how much mechs are gonna cost if you make them? And also how easy they would be to destroy or accidentally break? I wouldn't think it would be economic to keep using mechs over say... tanks with attachments.

I'd think that YOLOL programmers will be highly sought after if they can work with the system well, if large factions start hiring crews of programmers to make all of their processes automatic then the demand for this specific job will go up. EDIT: I think there will be more than a couple...

Everyone's always talking about becoming a pirate or running a manufactory, what are some weird jobs that you think some people might actually do in-game? Post them! Maybe you'll inspire someone to take up a not very obvious job. Here are a couple I can think of off the top of my head: Arena...

Taxes could be good, you could also build yourself up as a trusted trading middle-man (someone who holds the items in a trade so one person doesn't just go running off with the items without giving anything back), then charge a small fee for that service. You can also get money by selling...

Which video was the socket in again? I don't remember it and I can't find it on the wiki.

As other people have said, a mech would only really be useful in a place with gravity, since you can just use ships in space. Even if places like the moons got gravity, it would just be easier to make tanks rather than mechs, you'd need to work out a way to build something like a mech with the...

Dunno, game isn't even out yet so we don't know any of that stuff

I think you could probably build a large-scale ship made from station parts (without the station core of course), then equip it with a long-range mining laser array and some other kind of turrets for point defence around the ship. It would probably take a lot less time to build than the star...

Exactly, it will increase player interaction. What are you going to do when someone steals your design? Fight back. Whole financial wars could be started over stolen designs, creating interesting situations to facilitate player interaction.

I think they are planning to allow us to build stations for ourselves at some point, and since 10 different factions can't safely set up at the same spot, they will slowly move deeper and deeper into space to protect their stuff, encouraging pirates and other factions to explore deep space to...

If you want to make angled beams, make a machine that precision cuts them yourself, I'll be setting up a machine to make hollow beams for wiring, so I wouldn't think a 45° machine would be that hard.

The only drones you could maybe build are ones that are directly tied to permanent immovable structures like stations, since there aren't many scanning devices and YOLOL is not complex (or fast) enough to make complex decisions like positioning, alignment and navigation on it's own. You'd have...

To build onto the disguise thing, you could make a ship that drills a hole into an asteroid and then drives it around like a puppet.

That's a good idea, except that you'll need to take into account the energy it would require to run a system like that, generators would be expensive and would need to be manually stocked up and if you had renewable energy like solar panels, they could just be shot off from outside the range of...

I think the highways would be better than warp gates, since it is more intuitive for the player and will give a bigger advantage to covering your ship in thrusters.

That sounds like a funny idea, consider it stolen!

We don't actually know yet, but a regional chat would be a good idea, they also will probably implement a faction chat system too.

Wouldn't the panel both be expensive and break a short way into the field?
