An idea... - Grumblesaur - 11-15-2008
' Wrote:The amount of balancing that would have to go into dockable stations would be horrific. Refueling mid-fight much?
You all know the rules. It's not about it being there, it's about you following your own honor.
And it would be hell to buy a massive stock of that ammo. This idea is more for Arms Dealers.
Quote:As in what I meant by bugs was that even pass the beta there was still multiple bugs that the modders were incapable of removing.
You are right there, there will be bugs, but eventually the modders find an extra can of pesticide.
' Wrote:Sauce code? You mean, like this?
Alfredo Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Just so this isn't a complete spam post, though, I've got to say that it would be a cool idea if it could be implemented. I'd worry about getting the new mod out first, then doing player docking before we even consider something this advanced.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley and serve.
Sauce code... very funny. xD
Anyway, after 4.85 comes out, the modders, developers, and the admins will have all the time needed to work on player docking.

That has been solved. All these issues with carriers have been solved. There might be some lag issues but without proper testing on a large server, we don't know yet. No issues other than lag can occur really and testing is needed to prove the lagging issue anyway.

Maybe a limit on how long you can be inside.

the normal 10 minute base idling kick?
I like the idea btw

Maybe 5 minutes, seeing as it is a player vessel.
I like your "Attack of the Starfleas" idea in your sig.

Is it routine that someone has to bring this up every other week or somthing? Personally I think moving bases are a bad idea. And i know i'm a hypocrit since i RP one but I think making a flyable object that's a base would be a bad idea since more bases would be flying around which is pretty much OORP.
But it's an interesting idea nonetheless.
However i wants this for Valdez....

too bad you can't have it turn into a NPC base whenever the PC logs off therefore eliminating the docking issue. but i highly doubt it's possible.
i think it'd be cool to have a mobile base, no thruster, no cruise, and moves at about 20
it sure sounds cool...moving the base to somewhere and logging out then you'd have your base in a new location everytime

To deploy you set 2 bits as the cargo bay doors. Then, when you deploy the bits will extend.
Only problem is, it'll re-fold after a few seconds. We could make a ship with a large "Inner" area though that people can enter.
Also, to dock with people we set it so that when you "dock" with a carrier you get sent to a base in system that's 400/500 away from the Z axis and WAYYY far away. When you undock it sends you to just outside the ship you're "docked" in.
Also, there are moving parts on stations, jump gates and docking rings so I am myself attempting to make moving parts on ships now... I will publish my results soon.

Oddly Seth, your idea of sending the person to a faraway base is how the current Carrier method works currently. A 'Carrier base' is put in every system and when you hit '/dock (playername)' within a certain distance of said player (and their carrier) you are flung to that faraway station.
An idea... - Boss - 11-16-2008
What if we just made a single base, and then sold an item that would allow docking, fits only on carriers, and costs an absurd amount? EDIT: kinda like Niezck's NPC wingman thingy.
