My "company" is designed for matching freelance people up with people that need jobs done. It might be a good place to look once we have more than 3 members. :)

I think that there is some potential to the idea that you have. I have one concern with the toggle-able, or even separate PvP and no PvP servers. If players can choose to play passively, then players who want to have risk, but not fight all the time will be targeted exclusively, forcing them...

Maybe a medium between a fully 3D map and your style of map could exist. There could be a 3D map that can be viewed as cross-sections that run parallel to the orbital horizon. Most people would only bother looking at the one inline with the rings because that's where the action is happening...

There was a great player-made "thunderdome" game that people put on in Starmade years back. Each player was given limited resources and a time limit. They had to build their ship, then they fought in a huge sphere to see who would win.

I look forward to seeing your ork-ish ships. Perhaps you could also make some asteriod ships, like they do.

How would you detect whether you are outside the safe zone or not?

Looks like a secret that needs solving.

Maybe the amount of credits earned from the more active mining could be made to yield around the same credit earning rate as the job would. Then, the player run version would still be able to compete because ore prices are already higher when players go out and mine them in the belt.

This isn't a bad idea! However, I think that this sounds like something that could be run by players exclusively. Players with mining ships could hire new players to hop on and go for a mining ride. Then after they return, pay the people for their time or a cut of the earnings. Sounds like it...

It's nice to be able to see these progress notes in context now since we can see what goes on in CA. It is clear that you all are listening to what your testers are saying. Good work!

I would like to suggest a new weapon for endo use: the buzzsaw launcher! This weapon would be designed for mass mayhem and confusion, rather than doing that much damage. The spinning blades that are launched would bounce off of walls for a short while until they lose enough speed to get stuck...

I think that might be kind of fun, having a weapon that bounces around like that... Gives me an idea... See you in another thread!

Why don't players play that mode?

I'd love to see a bandit ship get sliced to pieces by a mining ship. That would be great!

Oh yeah! I had almost forgotten. That should make a big difference. I look forward to buying a fixer-upper ship.

The main point of this idea is really just to give players something to make the early game feel less of a grind. Perhaps the first ship a player buys could be bought for half price and then the other half paid back later. That might be more fair and allow for much of the early game to remain...

I totally agree, however, if the convenience can be balanced, then players who want to spend more time at the jobs won't feel like they are missing out and players flying around won't feel like it's a wast of their time either. The point of the balance is so that the most players can feel happy...

There would be a reward, it would be that you get to fly outside of the safe zone and modify your ship.

Waiting patiently.

I almost had a heart attack because of my hype. I saw an e-mail in my in-box from Starbase, turns out it was just a verification message since I had changed my e-mail moments earlier!
