    I think dev censorship is bad Edit: It really depends how strict it is. If the community dose not like it they should get ride of it them self's.
     
    I mean common if you look at anything long enough it starts to look like a dick.
     
    But if this site is any example of DU we are going to have are hands full.

    As Kurock said "Since there are no such thing as buildings and ships in DU, only constructs, nothing prevents you from creating a very small construct with container and hover element on it and call it a "hover-pallet". "
     
    But I think it would be nice to have something that dose that without having to be a construct. It would be smaller and easier to use.
     
    For example you would not need to push it around my running into it. Instead you could press a button and your charter would actually put there hands on it to push it around.

    Well, given the game actively sports anti-gravity technology, just have Gravity Guns ala Half Life 2 and use them to haul equipment, tie them to a skill training that can lead to Tractor Beams / Webifiers, and you got a Cargo Loader job for people to make money or role call into in a group.

    By super weapon I assume you mean something that dose a shit tone of damage.
     
    It has been stated that there will not be super weapons. Imagine how annoying it would be if you logged on to find that the city you where living in is just gone.

    The client will all ready have all the info it needs to decide if the ship should make a sonic boom. So it would only add load on the client and not even that much.
     
    Edit: It's as simple as getting the ships velocity which the client probably all ready has. Then playing a sound and making some particles.

    "A speed of similar sorts would break the feeling of the game. This is a matter of opinion, but I do think you are wrong on how your thought about travel in DU should be."
     
    I disagree, as you said "This is a matter of opinion". I think that such a slow paced game would be boring. Do not get me wrong I think things should take time and be hard but not to the same extent that a lot of the community wants it will be.
     
    But in the end speed really dose not matter for planets because as I said before "It really dose not matter though because people will just go into space then back to the planet like in NMS."
     
    "Not to mention, the technical limitations of loading objects ate a rate of this magnitude, that would be intense."
     
    Yes that could be a problem, they could lower the detail that things render in the faster you move to fix this.

    Well one of my points was that it would be fairly easy to implement. Edit: At least I think it would be.
     
    It is just another effect. Effects add immersion but they are not needed for the game to work. Are you suggesting we do not have particles or anything like that. I know you are not, GET MY POINT!!!

    I do not even know what this thread has turned into. I started it thinking (Well the ships probably go that fast all ready, they may as well add a little sound effect)
     
    xD boy was I wrong.

    It's not a difficult thing to implement. Just add a sound cue when a craft exceeds the speed of sound in atmoshpere and tune the bass / reverb / tremple on the sound effect depending on the ship's mass and volume.
     
    Why, would the devs, allow for an in-atmosphere craft, to exceed 340 m/s? So the size of the planet to look even smaller?
     
    Planets in DU are (at maximum) 100 Km in radius. That means their cirmuference averages 628~ Km. That means that if you were to reach the speed of sound, it would take half an hour to go around a planet tracing a flat surface without any mountains in front of you. Adjust for a bit of height at 10km altitude above surface, that's about 34 minutes. You see the issue with having sonic booms now, right? It means that higher-speeds could be achieved, bringing down the scale of the planet, because sonic booms, mandate hypersonic speeds.
     
    You may say "what happens if someone attacks a miner on the other side of the planet and I need to get there fast? What? Should I take 15 minutes to get there?" and the answer is "yes".  It's the same in EVE. Planets in DU are more like Regions from EVE. If an attack happens on a remote location, chances are people won't get there to save you in time, let alone manage to set up a squad to come rush to a person's aid.
     
    And this ties to the subject at hand very much. People need to stop assuming "My org will single-handedly dominate a planet". No you won't. You will be just be spread thin and be punched through like a 1 mm thin paper. You'll need multiple outposts manned to deal with their TOR (Territory Of Responsibility), like an actual army does. Which is why I advcoate against hypersonic vehicles.
     
    Although if the Devs were to add sonic booms, they should add them for ships ENTERING and EXITING the planet. That way people may actually get a "Heads-up" notice of "someone entered the planet", without having to rely on a terrible and shitty mechanism like a "Local Chat" and actually have a thing about pilots and manufacturers scripting in "trajectory landings" in order to not make a shit load of sound entering a plnaet, letting everyone and their mother know "HEY WE ARE HERE TO RAID Y'ALL, COME AND WRECK US, JUST FOLLOW THE ABNOXIOUS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZ".
     
    So yeah, add sonic booms on entering and exiting a planet, make the different with the good ol' Doppler effect. Having sonic SPEEDS and sonic booms on planetary aircraft? No thanks, I like my immersion working by admiring the forests and meadows of a planet. Possible tool for trolls? Maybe, but it's their fuel they waste and it's your responsibility to shoot those trolls out off the sky.
     
     
    Cheers.

    Yup, doesnt sound like a bad idea.
    Perhaps it can use different stats to rank orgs.
     
    For example most active member count.
    That way the rank means more then it currently does.
