Jedi mind powers, magic spells? I say screw skills for a character, lets make to players that want to build ships have to really know astrophysics, and engineering right??? Need a strpnger metal? Hope you brushed up on your metallurgy. There is a point when a game based skill makes things easier. Its my point, you got tech to beat an ankle gun, i got tech to shield my item from your tech, and make it look like a different object

@Scruggs, If i remember right it was said, they make a jump point to jump to, and then you construct the gate... Where are you getting the idea that they are making the gate???

I agree good bunkers are underground

@CaptainTwerkmotor, Looking in my inventory, is like asking for my back pack at a gate to a sports arena....concealing my firearm would be hiding it at my ankle when you casually wave your metal detector around 60% of my body....there is skill in hiding things that doesnt take bribes, there is also skill in searching for concealed things... You are asking to see in my bag, i dont see the game allowing me to hire mules to swollow ballons of plastic explosives to rp a non conceal skill approach....

Imagine this... The rp group is spending months building their ship, we build a probe and launch it.....two months later they leave...we jump to our probe two months later and start claiming the planet to mine material and build our personal nukes etc, 7 weeks after ariving we build our stargate, a week later they arrive finally after traveling for months, and out of supplies....and . we already own most of the planet, the stargate, and have a bountiful operation going..... Now which side of that do you guys want to be on?

@ Cpttwerk Oh i get ya, but the kind of group that is going to take months of game play to fly manually, are not there to mine and make money, they are there to either explore or colonize, the miner would use the probe so he can keep mining and making money while waiting on the 15 different probes he sent out

Well since it said you can only work on one skill at a time, it is probably going to go about as a selected skill, that you are "training" subconsciously through an implant connecting you to the ark ship skill database. Having to select them in a skill tree progression.

The way i understood the probe working was, you launch it and wait, when it arrives you jump to it and manually build the star gate. There would be another matter also, the probe should tell you if the system is even worth visiting, after all it took our arkship 10,000 years to find a suitable planet for us. Imagine gaming, flying to the system of choice because you can, for months, only to arrive and find a dead planet not worth colonizing.

Tgey could also allow buildings to have more armor, based on a max weight to thrust ability of an engine. Tgat would give buildings a reasonable reason to be tougher. Also, tgere could be bunker type buildings etc...

Well i dont see a problem with allowing this as long as there is a conceal skill where i cn choose to hide something anyways.

Right, i just wnt any of them scaled to say..... Wipe out a small village

Correct, but the same can be said of any attacker here as well, the complaint was it takes 5 min to destroy what someone spent 40 hours building, not giving any consideration to the time it took the attacker to get his weapon and skill to use it.... So i would say there does not need to be any game desigined balance for pvp, it will sort itself out

@AttacKat Why should the Devs ballance build vs destruction time? How many man hours of planning and construction time did it take to build the twin towers? How long did they stand after 9/11? It is always easier to destroy something than to build, its a fact of life and a law of thermaldynamics. Bottom line, protect your assets, but be prepared to rebuild them.

I second this, and would also love to see neutron bombs for taking over bases with player defenses. It would also be nice to have antimatter bombs. I would love to have all of these as grenade launcher style weapons.

Recruiting open to all Veterans and active duty military, any country.

Happiness is a belt fed weapon

The build rights would be solved if you were a spy, as a member of the org you would under your mission objectives gain the build flag.

I dont see a way to stop it, unless they ban multiple log ins from the same IP address, but then that stops people like me with kids that all could be playing at the same time. Its going to happen, it not the end of the world.

it wouldnt be around a planet, it would go around a sun.

why stop at a ring, when you can build a sphere?

Alpha, not prealpha. Its in prealpha now.

Thats a great idea, and im sure it would be very amusing to watch.
