    um it would be basically a bullet train traveling upwards so 320+ km/h so they are fast and its far cheaper to use them than a rocket or mass driver simply because you can recapture energy and constantly reuse parts as well as other things like using them as solar lines for space based solar power just a note that speed is the slow speed and they have gotten faster than 550 km/h
  2. ShadowLordAlpha
    at that point might as well build a mass driver and have the ships handle landing on their own

    They already have a refinary concept art out and I doubt that it will be anywhere near as complex as you have there but I do like complex designs
  4. ShadowLordAlpha
    We already have at least one planned
  5. ShadowLordAlpha
    i am have to agree with this
  6. ShadowLordAlpha
    yes hovertanks. maybe more than one gun on them as well because you know . . . intimidation (I have more big guns than you )

    Its a bit late but I should point out that they were giving an example for the size of a planet and the size of territory units. They want it to take a bit of time for people to start leaving the planet and the timeframe that they gave was about a month or so. This could mean having the ability to travel to another planet in the same system or even just get into space (build a megatower up to the sky because why not ) I doubt stargates will apear a month or two after release but then again I could be wrong. Im thinking it will take that long to just start getting to the tech that allows us to consider building stargates let alone the resources and ability to build them. we would then also have to wait for a probe to get to the other location and have the materials to build a second gate.

    because we can.

    We already have a thread on this and several other ways to get to space so it might be a better idea to use that one

    I can think of some also the problems come from the fact we don't know how they will work and so I can't really make the plans or how the elevator would look
  11. ShadowLordAlpha
    I saw it but now im wondering if planets will be rotating and moving because I though they said they would be statonary (rotation could be slightly different . . . I think) because to me it does look like its moving
  12. ShadowLordAlpha
    but we need the guns to shoot of the fireworks
  13. ShadowLordAlpha
    yup mostly because I think that those will be the only real transportation type for ground based vehicles. I think they said somewhere that they won't have wheels or tracks or rails because of the physics involved with them though I could be wrong (hope i am) as I really want both a large train system and a space elevator (train that goes to space from the ground)

    Maybe but doing so in something like a safe zone seems more like a pain than anything else. Maybe have something like a bound bed and when in a safe zone that has a bed (or maybe beds for rent?) your character travels to that bed or area by itself when disconnected. Thats only for more RP than I normally like though as in a safe zone i would prefer if you just vanish or fade out as its safe so it really shouldn't matter. when you log back in it could be in the same place or a set area. I do think it should be similar to how you describe outside of a safe zone though maybe just not the timer till you die or at least not a short one (few days?)

    why not just try catching other fish from the water on the planet?

    Most likely as capital ships will be far to large for a normal person to easily afford especially in the beginning of the game. We don't expect anyone to build a capital ship for a while but colony ships will probably take place right after we manage to get FTL type travel up and running and capital type ships soon after that. Smaller ships would be an easy way for people to get around (like cars) and a fighter can dodge and cause damage to a capital ships like how a mech would be able to outfight people on the ground for the most part.

    maybe something along the lines of a surface killer type weapon (kills basically everything on the surface but leaves the surface relatively unharmed) would also like planet mining (as in mine the whole planet) but doubt that will be a thing. at least at the beginning
  18. ShadowLordAlpha
    if its a halo like mac cannon it would easily be able to reach space though a weapon going that fast would also cause a really large explosion just from the air displacement so they would likely be in space. I would like to have both ground defenses like turrets and ICBMs (and a ground to space missile) and space so we don't have to build just one type of defense
  19. ShadowLordAlpha
    get like a $30 one from turtle beach then. has a mic and everything and doesn't sound bad
  20. ShadowLordAlpha
    possably but then we don't even know if they move currently
  21. ShadowLordAlpha
    well might as well get in on this. Java and C/C++ have very little actual performance difference with the main difference being the garbage collection areas of both languages with C/C++ leaving it up to the developer and Java basically doing it for the developer. (some people seem to be ratting on Java for some reason so thats my rant ignore it if you want) Now I think there should only be one scripting language in the game though what it is I really don't mind as you would have to use their API for the most part anyway. I doubt there would be two as it doubles the work needed to maintain the scripting part of the game for no real gain other than make a few people happy so its not really worth it. LUA is actually a good one to use and many people can easily learn how to use it.

    I suggested something like this in the devthread that outlined the virtual reality thing they have planned so you can design and build stuff in safety. I suggested just making it so you could play that offline if something like your internet goes out (yes that does happen for people) you can still play but it won't really affect other people except that you put time into making a design same as you would have if you had done it on the server.
  23. ShadowLordAlpha
    shh dont let him know that
  24. ShadowLordAlpha
    While I do think there will eventually be some stargates that are private I think most of them will be open to the public in some way. ether by a toll or for free as they will be decently large investments at least in the beginning and are meant for interstellar transportation not interplanetary.
  25. ShadowLordAlpha
    Maybe even ones that rotate so you can't see the gun when its away and flips into position when needed
