    DU is BORING!

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    I'm having great fun. My projects list keeps getting bigger and my imagination is going wild over all the possibilities.

     

    IMHO, The industry is what it should have been at the start of open beta.

     

    I like this game, so will play it.

     

    When I don't like a game I don't play it!    Why would I go on a forum for a game I don't like and moan about it?  seems selfish to me ?

     

    What am I not understanding? please educate me ?‍?

    The problem is not lots of alt corps, but alt corps at the top of the community listings, having unfair publicity.

     

    Solution: remove the corporation listings by member count.

    Instead list them by searchable tags, i.e. , Pirates, banking, RP, industry, military and corporations name. etc, ect.

     

    Then all the corporation advertising can be done on the DU forum, ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.

     

    Now there is no insentive to artificially build large corps. Any inactive corp or alt corps will collect dust in a folder somewhere giving no one unfair advantage.

    That could lead to misuse by traitors/infiltrators.

    How?

     

    If only the Leader / creator of the corp has this right to remove legits, it will get rid of spys and traitors that have lied and wormed their way into a powerfull postion.

     

    At this time not even the corps creator can not get rid of a spy or traitor. This would lead to the corps collapse!

    Cool I love a bit of role play. So this is goodys verses baddies, pirates verses commerce.

     

    Arrr jim lad my hearties, shiver my timbers arrrrrrrr, let me put this telescope against my patched eye, arrrrrrrrrr I see no ships. There be ship on de horizon capin. Man de rigging set topsels and garnets arrrrrrrrrrr. Eye eye captin. errr I mean eye capin, There be a mining ship ahoy to fill my swollen Chest with pices of eight and the golden ore from under de ground arrrrrrrr.

     

     

    Look sir it's a pirate dread ship and it's heading for us. But we are an unarmed mining vessel, they must be after our ore. We can't out run them or defeat them in ship to ship combat, what can we do..... sir pls sir what is your order?

    Set self destruct 10, 9, 8, sir I don't want to go like this, 6, 5, 4, if we can't have what we sweated and dug out of the ground with our own

    Water physics

    The starting planet has a lot of water, will it have physical properties?

    Would love to dam a river and build a hydro plant, Producing large amounts of "free" power. I can see such a building being a very valuable asset, And target.

    Moats

    Aqua ducts

    Irrigation

    Canals

    Land reclamation

    Swamp draining

    So much game play from physical water. I'm sure a few headaches making it work as well.

    Engine intake and exhaust considerations

    in Idea Box

    Posted

    for heat radiation yes, but exhausts could still be inside a ship. which would make some hilarious ships possible but wouldn't be logical. I still don't know what to prefer :D

    I would like to see propulsion units that burn fuel on the surface of a ship. But maybe in the future propulsion units that use say, gravity to pull a ship along could be fitted inside a ship. Allowing for more variety in ship design like Borge cubes.

    Engine intake and exhaust considerations

    Engine exhausts should not be covered and should either render the engine ineffective or blow a hole in the construct, depending on the engine.

     

    An idea for engine intakes and heat sinks could be tubing elements which connect the engine to the "outside" of the construct. Also tubing looks good even if its just decorative. ;)

    Engines connected to radiators on the ships hull could solve the problem of acrobatic titans. I also enjoy connecting components. For me it makes the building and operating ships more complex and enjoyable for longer. Connecting fuel tanks, generators, control lines and battery's would help shipbuilders become a more skilled craft.

    Laser level

    in Idea Box

    Can we have a laser level. It would help laying out city's, roads and mineshafts. It would need to be an object in game that fires a passive laser in the direction it is pointing. Also a distance measuring device, like a tape measure.
