Discovery Mod: Ideas and Feature Requests

[OllO]

On OIIO's and versatil's posts you can see the two extreme opinions about metagaming.

then you type: /reg miningship. once you hit enter..your ship name will be registred on a List . stored on server.



back to the trader, If trader wants to find some miner..he just writes :

/list BMMminer or /list IMGminer etc. then all miners name will be appear on screen.

Since Miner Register Manually , it will Prevent From Monitoring Traders or cops with BMM ID or freelancers with IMG ID ...etc.

The status quo now is:
-Hauler logs on in New Berlin.
-Hauler checks the player list, sees a certain fella "DHC-<Generic Germanish name>"
-Hauler sends PM: "Guten tag sir, are you perhaps a vessel with mining capabilities"
-DHC: "Tag, no, but a corporate vessel will be summoned shortly."
-DHC logs off his bomber/hauler, logs on a mining char.
-DHC fills you up, you chat a bit about how dangerous O7 is.
-He receives the quick cash from filling you up, resumes his previous business.
-You haul like a boss.

Now, excuse me but it seems you are a tad too lazy for the above interaction, and would rather:

-Log on generic hauler.
-/listMiner
-Miner found in Okinawa.
-Hauler(PM): Mine for me, 4K/ore.
-Miner: Come.
-Silent fill-up ensues, miner F1's after he fills you up.

Also, it would be hard (although not impossible) to iRP explain why mining companies would reveal their employees' ship names to everyone.

Bear in mind it will be a metagaming facility that will be even further metagamed.

Id est:
-Player A logs on their eg.Samura money maker.
-/listIMGminer
-Returns 2 miners in Tau-23.
-Player A logs Outcast pirate.
-The rest is not hard to figure out.

The "Meta Gaming" you mention here is not something new. The fact that Meta Gaming is Beyond Controll...Remains here too.

Sometimes Silent miners get punished in a Hard way! Also...This is a Game my friend!
(Not that im here to ruine it But Using skype To find miner is Dangerous as Using the method i mention)

But...WIth this...we Get as much as pirats ....as we get haulers! The fact that

Pirats are Aware of Mining spots will cover "MetaGaming"

Nothing is perfect , But anything can be Close to Perfect.

if admins Decide to tweak and Try to put it in work...it will work!

Barrel Rolls - Might be added in future version, might be not... who knows.

I thought barrel rolls were already possible.
Perhaps someone ment aileron roll?

Frankly, aileron rolls are poor as combat manuvers. Works better in airshows.

I would like to propose an adjustment to the mission system so that within a certain credit range only one type of opponent ships (fighters, gunboats, cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships) appears. That way you can select the mission according to the ship you fly and won't end up in a fighter versus battleships if you are unlucky.

lowest to - 900.000 --> Fighter only
1.000.000 - 1.900.000 --> Gunboat only
2.000.000 - 3.900.000 --> Cruiser only
4.000.000 - 4.900.000 --> Battlecruiser only
5.000.000 - 5.900.000 --> Battleships only

Would this be very hard to do?

Why not accept Kyushu rice, synth paste and even luxury food as an alternate base supply for food?

Edit: Also, black market munitions as an alternate to munitions...

As far as I know, all those commodities can be used as base food. BMMs aren't though, another 'draw' to Gallia along with Cryocubes I guess.

Heck, you can even use Gaian Wildlife as food. (believe it or not, it's true)

Also, rolls (aileron rolls) are already in the mod, but you can only do them if you are in turret view or cockpit view. Adding a strafe to an aileron roll will produce a barrel roll. Link is relevant to rolling (Skip to 2.43):

I think an option should be added to allow adding enemy tags to player bases.
With IFF related rep, freelancers for instance are not enemies, and most plain pirates are freelancers.

a speed mod for the single player "campaign"

direct communication like in day z (arma 2) where not only could players voice chat, they could push-to-talk and everyone within say 10km can hear them, so the radio soundwaves contains both npc and player chatter. realize this could be hard to implement, but intriguing thought nevertheless

No atmosphere? GTFO.
The propeller is the greatest invention of all time.

mmm imagine that in new york, there would be sooo much voice chatter that people would just turn sound off, further out it would probably work less people

would be funny tho, imagine a bret trader flying to o3 eg and finding a corsair and then rp happens and the corsair starts trying to talk with an accent to fit his character would be funny, : Bret trader - "i say old boy what what what was that"

hehehe
