Is that a porn? It sounds like porn.

Elaborate.

You've basically described all the current tech for detection and stealth. I think that's a good place to start.

No one gets out alive...

It's not just MMOs, this division is pretty apparent in politics, ideology, etc.

Sorry, didn't mean to go that far off topic. My point was, cloaking tech is fine, in the realm of current or soon to be tech. No invisible battleships or bases, a reduction in electronic tracking? Sure. Looking out the window of your ship and being fired upon by some invisible enemy? No.

Unless the physics of the game goes into the realm of total scifi, movement in space is completely different. Not only absence of lift, but gravity, atmo drag, (its harder to change direction in space at high velocity) not to mention distance(space is BIG).

You make a very good point @NanoDot. By and large people will do shit that serves no purpose but to hurt others. And yes, I was putting my personal morals into my statement. I apologize.

Never said anything about "magic fields" was postulating a possible player created non-agression understanding? Treaty? Yeah, I'm not explaining my thoughts very well...

?

Drink moar beerz

I thank you, good sir, verily.

Nvm, that's probably too in depth.

Imagine the strategic planning involved in avoiding destroying cultural landmarks and stuff. That brings way more strategy into planetary warfare.

But I mean long term. On the level of ruins or relics. No real use other than being pretty/awesome to look at. Maybe not a game play mechanic, but a galactic understanding of non-agression toward innocuous structures that serve no tactical purpose. Maybe I'm not explaining well enough. You wouldn't bomb the Pyramids at Giza, or the Great Wall of China... Those kind of structures should have an approval process to gain protected status. Things that aren't actively involved in anything other than sitting there looking pretty. We have ALOT of space, literally. There's more than enough room for a re-creation or reimagining of ruins/structures that serve no purpose other than being awesome for people to look at.

I don't know why I didn't think of that. I need another beer.

I'm really enjoying all you guys on the forum. Good job keeping me entertained.

It's Kor. I mean you can try to be me , but that's kinda sad.

Can we get livestock farming as a thing maybe? That could add a whole new pirate/rustler aspect. That would be cool.

Really? An emoji? You gonna end with that? Seriously? It's like you don't even care.

Think Parthenon, The great wall of America (still being decided), the pyramids, etc...

Awesome ridiculous buildings/designs that could be considered "wonders". Possible protection for truly epic projects that aren't for storage/warfare/anything that has tactical capabilities? There are provisions in the current Earth articles of war for cultural/religious/etc. structures being exempt from attack. I know, LOTS of exceptions. Discuss.

If the goal of DU is total realistic sim then yea. I'm not sure that's what we all want though. The joy of "future tech" is imagination with a smattering of believable science. Otherwise it all just seems like "magick".

No, no one cares. ( I still love you though)

We shouldn't be amused. (But we are) (third person is fancy and shit)
