So I was talking with @Reaper07in discord about what happens in CVC combat and we came up with this:
 
The Problem: Stuff that breaks off a ship being shot probably can't float away from the core... so you could have a bridge just floating free with the crew standing there continuing to fight, using the engines that are still attached to the core.
 
Suggestion: Anything that becomes detached from the core should explode and be destroyed. This will keep the visuals looking reasonable even though it kind of sucks for the guys on the detached bridge.
 
 

Like this: 
Ideally this would work like a pair of linked elevator elements. Stand near and press space to go up; press C to go down. Alternatively, it could be decorative, requiring a pair of elevators in addition. Maybe this would be Tier 1 and elevators Tier 2?

ROFL. You represent my remarks.

I played eve and according to online tests I am not a sociopath. ?

Looks like a threat to me. Yeah yeah, I know... you'll pretend it wasn't. Bullies always do that.

The underlying meaning of "ulterior" is "outside" or "beyond", but it has picked up a connotation of "concealed" because of the way it's often used... and this has become a main meaning.

@Ever_green Dont feed the troll :3. Or also known as Kuritho, the master OwO sage.
 
And don't let yourself be told off from your idea.
Some people just don't understand Space in itself ... as long as you have protection at the location you want to unload and load your cargo, everything will be fine.
 
And booians, as far as i am concerned, aren't rocket scientists ...
It's incredible hard to catch a target in space~ Just be prepared to defend yourself and your cargo when you're close to planets/ orbital stations. And even then ... you probably have 3~10 trys to learn it. As people will need to learn how to attack someone who's standing still, without shooting past them as a comet and burning up in atmosphere.
 
AS in fact, you probably should be stationed close to that Atmosphere to Space Orbit for dropping off cargo into waiting hands of your costumers.
 
 
Good luck and god speed.
PS: Space is an deadly void ... but the best friend of a merchant.
 

Well, let’s state some hard truth as well:
 
How many orgs are just talking about their grand plans with the game 2 years from release believe that it will go exactly as planned? 
 
How many orgs are expecting their members to perform an exact job they are assigned to do, throwing the rest of the game aspects away?
that won’t happen!
 
How many orgs are expecting to build up a mega city and not to get blown up half way into it by another org that forms up on the day of release and looking to just build ship and pvp?
that won’t happen!
 
How many orgs are expecting to be a company designing ships, but have absolutely zero infrastructure and no one “feeding” them resources?
 
how many orgs are signing contracts and treaties and dreaming that the two parties will keep the contract intact for the next two years?
 
The horizon project might seem absurd, but he’s just dreaming like pretty much every single orgs are doing right now. With the game this far away from release, all talks are dream talks and I don’t see any problem with it  

This is pretty straightforward.
 
DAC is a RL cash-equivalent asset. Stealing it is RL theft. Allowing players to steal it would be a criminal activity on the part of NQ.
 
Just say No.
 
Sorry NQ. I got carried away and forgot about the one post rule. After reading through, I stand by what I said.
 
I should add, I don't see what a DAC would be as a physical in-game item or why a character as opposed to a player would want one. They are meta-items by their nature and should be treated that way.

I have no interest in playing in a PvP sandbox. I like real PvP and I might do some here; but mostly, I'll be in a sz building spaceships.
 
What is real PvP? 

Dear backers,  
 
Although the Kickstarter finished 10 days ago, our team has still been busy! We’ve barely had time to catch our breath before we look forward to the next phase of development. However, we wanted to take the time to answer the questions we know many of you still have.
 
8,000 Backers Social Goal Reached, Reward Revealed  
 
We were amazed to reach the goal and go significantly beyond it in the final 24 hours. You guys rock!!! If you missed the good news, we revealed the 8,000 backer reward just before the end of the campaign. Every Kickstarter backer will receive a unique and Kickstarter-exclusive blueprint of a single-player hovercraft! (Players will still have to gather the materials to build it.) We will give more info soon.
 
Backer List and Funds Transfer  
 
Usually, Kickstarter sends a list of backers between 1-2 weeks after a campaign has ended. For larger campaigns it is usually closer to 2 weeks. It shouldn’t be long before we receive the list. Once we get all the data, we will send you a form to fill out in order to get additional information, like the name reservation for your character(s). As for the funds, we are still waiting to receive them. They should be transferred soon, and we are working with the Kickstarter team to make it happen as soon as possible.
 
Payment Portal Launch and Packs Availability  
 
Development of the new payment portal that will help us continue the crowdfunding effort is underway. We want to make sure you understand what will and won’t be available on this new platform, so read on to find out more.
 
There will be two phases:  
 
Phase 1 will be short and temporary, starting from the payment portal launch date and going through the end of the year. Packages will be quite similar to the Kickstarter packs, so that those of you who couldn’t pledge during the Kickstarter campaign for various reasons (not being able to pay with PayPal, missing the end date of the Kickstarter, etc.) can still support us. The available Founder packs will have the same number of DACs as the Kickstarter ones. However, they will have a few less perks.
The following packs/rewards will not be available because they were all Kickstarter exclusives:  
Early bird and boosted packs. The rewards tied to social goals (reaching 6,000 and then 8,000 backers), which were name reservations for every backer and the exclusive single-player hovercraft blueprint mentioned above.  The Kickstarter outfit for Bronze packs and above, and the in-game pets for Silver packs and above. Phase 2 will begin in January 2017. The Founder packs will be removed permanently, and will be replaced by Supporter packs. The Supporter packs will be significantly different and the price of the DACs slightly higher. Don’t worry, they will still be cheaper than after the official release! For those who like in-game pets and didn’t have the opportunity to get one from the Kickstarter, we plan to make a new one available through an add-on.  
 
Update frequency
 
The Kickstarter campaign was very intense, and necessitated frequent updates. While we still plan to update you regularly about the development progress, the updates will come less often than during the Kickstarter. You can still count on hearing from us when we’ve achieved a milestone! If you are interested in more regular communication with us, you can follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. You can also subscribe to our monthly newsletter.
 
We have also some exciting things to share with you that we didn’t have time to tell you about during the Kickstarter, including details about the storyline and guidelines for fan fiction compatible with the official lore. We also have not one, but two community contests planned for November and December, so stay tuned!

It showed that multiple players can work together on a construct and the game keeps track of ownership etc. in some reasonable way.
 
You can't do that in Second Life. Pretty cool.
 
With a little imagination you can see that:
On a big ship, one person could lay out the central structure, another could build the life support section, another could build structures to hang the prefab components (elements) on. The last guy who's in a different time zone logs in later, adds elements and finishing tying everything together. Then, I'll jump in and do the scripting, lol.

If ED manages not to sell game time tokens, it's probably because no one wants to play it, lol.
 
Every other game I know of eventually gets around to selling game tokens which can be sold in game - or some other method of selling game money. Otherwise, if anyone actually plays the game, a plethora of Chinese companies will be farming and selling game money for cash.

A long time ago, Runescape
SL, where I do sci fi RP (including Gor until I developed PTSD) and medi/fantasy RP and building spaceships. Oh, and ERP when I get bored, lol.
WoW, where I'm an orc tank, primarily.
Entropia Universe, where I run a space taxi service.
Star Citizen recently - I'll be a cargo hauler/smuggler and general freelancer once the mechanics for those are in place (SC is in alpha atm)
 
I'm planning a ship for SL that will fly like a DU ship (instead of using SL's vehicle functions) as proof of concept in preparation for building in DU.
