More shortcuts (jumpholes, jumpgates) are seriously needed in this MOD - Eppy - 07-30-2007
I think you're being too isolationist. I mean, preserving the integrity of Discovery and all is a worthy cause, but there are some things that are just so commonsense we wonder why they weren't put in the game in the first place. I mean, if one or more actually fixed the capship-spinning problem, plagiarize your life out! (Speaking of which, what was the problem with Dboy's BS mod? It was never specified...)

I don't remember reading this one in the rules,,,,, Did I miss it? If this is the case then I would say stop useing the who's online screen to see who is in your system. Sensers only for more balance.
Comments?

No, They can order you, but you don't have to obey. Though if you don't, you will get KoS with a lot of people hating you.

I meant you should as in to should or they will get mad, new people ussually think factions dont control space, so Im just saying some factions control space, for example, the GMG control all Sigma systems.

GMG the PC faction? No they don't. You can't own Vanilla systems. You'd have to buy the GMG guard system. You might have a wartime ZoI, but that's not the same as control. Besides, don't think you're at war.

Pirates roam free in the Void, and most of them are concentrated in those new systems, like Alexandria. The only rule that regulates piracy in the Void is a limit for asking money from traders. They dont have transports in their mod, so this limit is set at 200k, which can be reasonable for vanilla freighters.
Trading in Discovery is much more easy. As soon as you get money for a transport, and avoid some areas (like Kusari space) you can even alt+tab back to windows and do some other thing, as rarely you will encounter pirates that can hit your ship. A large train with a capital armor upgrade can have the same armor of a unarmored cruiser, or even a Osiris depending on what upgrade you are using. Server rules dont let pirates uses their cruisers for demanding money from traders, and so they dont become a real threat for traders, except for those which are still flying with freighters.
These shortcuts in the Void comes with a price. This is not the case in Discovery, so I think shortcuts are not needed in Discovery. I think that Discovery even have too much shortcuts, see Omega 5 for example, theres too much jump holes in that system.

Xatrix: Void has alot of problems.. Recreating the same thing that caused those problems here, would be stupid to be blunt. If Void is sooo good, go play on their server, but we like it how it is now. Its Freelancer, not Easylancer.
F_Wolf: Obviously, you haven't been hit by any quality pirates with your trader. I know many pirates that can strip a transport with Capship VIII armor. The other Wraith (We have 2 of us) took on a Container transport (the one with 12 guns..) that had Capship VIII armor on it. He still killed it. Just because you haven't been taken down doesn't mean you can't, your only asking for trouble at this point.
And 45 waypoints? Maybe if your going from Omicron Alpha to New London.. You pass through a whopping 4 systems in the NB - NT trade route, where NB/NT both count towards those 4. If thats too much time/jumping for your sensitives, then maybe you should make your own mod that has a jump hole to everywhere in every system. Or better yet.. Just make it all one system! That way you can trade within two waypoints and be very very happy.
This mods about balance, not unbalancing.

That's still only 8 waypoints. There are no two points in this mod that require 45 jump to get between... that's just rediculous.
No, we do NOT need more shortcuts...
EDIT: Thanks kiggles, but yeah, that just for systems with way too many trade lanes...

Denelo you are changing between waypoints and systems there... there are no points that take 45 systems but there are points that take more than that many way points.

Void, the place where it matters more about how meny frags youve got over RP lol. ..
Whats the point if everything going to be so easy? wheres the challenge? on void once you have a VHF ship all there is to do is pvp, no RP at all, not that im bashing pvp servers, there just not for me, i like something with a bit of substance, so coming here trying to make disco more like void is a big no no to most people who play here, because its about the RP!.
Not to mention all the trouble and flames the void have had over the alex system, last time i heard they made it so people carnt even be killed in there ...
