' Wrote:As people constantly ask me about these, I can confirm that the following features are actively being worked on or are already finished.
- Player constructed and controlled bases
- Player controlled commodity and equipment dealers
- Player docking on ships
- Cloaking devices
- Jump drives
- Different cruise speeds for ships
- Control of lights on ships, hud colours, shields and group targeting
- Turret zoom
Some of these features are similar to other mods but I think we have a better implementation. I'm not aware of any other mods that allow players to construct their own bases.
A jumpdrive sounds very interesting. I could imagine it will work similar to the thrust speed in the Next Generation mod, if you know what i mean. In that TNG-mod you are or were (dunno if it's still existing) able to get a lot of speed with pressing the TAB key. If you have a battleship your speed is going to be increased. Faster than through tradelanes you could travel from Pittsburgh to the California jump gate in New York in 15 seconds or something like this.
I could imagine there is something in 4.86 with these jump drives which is similar to the TNG "super thrust". I think in .86 you only need to charge them if you would have a ship which can use a jumpdrive.
