Admin Notice: Server testing #8

[SevereTrinity]

What now? Either it stops drifting or it drifts at a setted rate... both at the same time won't work, quite contradicting each other.
How about my ship does not drift/move at all once I disappeared from the server? It's really not nice to relog a character and to find it floating somewhere in the suns corana, or the sun, or a planet... or somewhere it definitly shouldn't be at all.
What's wrong with the way it was, where I relog where I logged out?

Re-read what you just quoted. He wants to stop a ship in space and find out why they drift so much. The 'expected rate' is just an estimation as to what is happening currently. I presume he means when he figures out how, he will try to set it so you do not drift. The way it has changed from not drifting to drifting without Cannon actually changing drift behaviour itself suggests something in his recent coding has, meaning it was a mistake, that he is going to find out where the mistake lies, and try to fix the bloody mistake.

Common sense is a virtue, stupidity is a gift.

I read it differently...
There are actually two things here:
Cannon wants to make it so that when you F1, your ship stops where it is, along with the other penalties for F1ing (such as shields going down).

While you're offline, he wants the ships to drift at a specific rate up to a maximum distance, but that's happening a lot faster than intended currently.

- Try to stop a ship in space if the player disconnects/F1s.
- Find out why ships sometimes drift so much. The should drift based on the amount of time they have been disconnected. The expected rate is 1 meter per second of disconnect time up with a maximum of 50k in the y-axis and 1/10th of that in the x and z axis.

"Try to stop a ship in space if the player disconnects/F1s" is an absolute statement. You can only either F1 or disconnect. The use of 'try' signifies it is in the future.

"Find out why ships drift so much" - This statement is directed towards the present.

"Expected rate" - not regarding the future despite the use of 'expected' but instead addressing the present situation and stating something is in fact wrong with it.

The first statement is what he intends to do, the second statement is what is actually happening at this moment in time. The "find out" means he doesn't know why it's happening but he wants to know why people are drifting much more than they should.

What I want to know Cannon, is the "1 meter per second" acceleration or just indicating a consistent '1 meter a second' drift?

<strike>Cannon,
I can no longer dock at The Ring and Oder Shipyard with my Samura trader, despite having white reputation with Daumann (the base owners). I have docked there many times before.

There is some new message saying: "Access is Denied. Request to dock denied. We don't want your kind around here."

I have a feeling this is your doing. While my reputation is negative with Daumann, it is still white. See links:

Reputation for Daumann is White.

Samura ID + Timestamp

Is this intentional or a bug? What level of reputation is now required to dock on bases?</strike>

EDIT: Didn't notice the new -0.55 rule. I was able to fix the rep and dock. So nevermind.

- Prohibit docking with bases if your reputation is less than -0.55 with respect to the base owner. This change exists so that we can remove move some reputation ninja settings from hostile to not quite hostile.

Looks like you'll need to get your rep with Daumann just a bit higher. About half a bar higher, actually.

Thank you. I will do that.
EDIT: It worked, now I can dock. Thanks again Zukeenee.
