Suggestion about the player list...

[Durandal]

Tanith, there is a different between zones and content. A zone is an area containing content. Content is something the player either holds, or is contained in a zone. A content and a zone are two entirely different things.

To simplify further, if we started removing ships, or base models, or planet textures, that would be culling content. Nobody is lobbying for that and nobody is ever going to do it, unless you count replacements.

As to the OP, no, absolutely not as per @Thexare and @Antonio.

We did something similar before and it was a failed experiment that decreased the activity on the server. No.

A similar hack was developed for Freeworlds.

Guess which Freelancer mod we're not all playing right now.

Retired, permanently.

To be fair, I don't think comparing a continuity of Freelancer to a total conversion set in a completely different universe is really.. fair.

Not a good idea. Trying to find players based on your puny 15k radar and the information they are in 'Bretonia' or 'Liberty'?? Good luck with that.

Yep some people avoid interaction using the player list. All you have to do is give a rough estimate how many interactions are 'lost' and how many are 'created' by the list. I velieve it creates far more based on the feedback.

Except imo its that attitude that prevents that one. Freeworlds is actually better than disco mechanics wise, all it lacks is population. If you know star wars, you get along just fine in that mod. How they solve the problem is you can see every other player ship on your scanner no matter how far away they are. So if you are in the same system, you know who's around, you just have to jump around to find them.

What I wouldn't do to see the same thing applied in disco...every ship has a jump drive, you don't instajump, you have to fly in hyperspace instead of 'cruising' and drop out for course corrections. People still have to use the same places to jump in and out of systems, or start a new straight leg across the system, and are limited by gravity wells when they want to land or dock, making those places the likely battle zones. No trade lanes, all independence. No cruise disruptors needed either, if you fire your weapons you have to cool down before being able to go to hyperspace. So if you are at great enough risk of destruction, you must fight it out, or you take the risk and try to survive long enough to make the jump. Its beautiful actually.
