You can enable torque. And then they do rotate the ship. Problem is that you need to use LUA and engine tags to fire them independently.

And what kind of child are you? I'm guessing a grumpy child...

Joined in the first Alpha played hundreds of hours with and even was interviewed by the mouse @le_souriceau himself for his gazette back in the early days (under a different name) and I honestly thought this game had hit the sweet spot, but then it all just went to shit after 0.23 hit and combined with a total lack of progress, nay intermittent downgrading, the game became all but pointless. Only a single member from our org of about 50 players still plays anything more than the skill queue mini game.
 
such a shame. I still stare at all my old screenshots from the NDA Alpha period and reminisce about what could have been.

@Aaron Cain  Ah, the limitless sandbox: Entirely built and driven by players, except for the game bits, apparently.
 
Aphelia created schematics with
aphelia chosen artificial limits.

Aphelia built marketplace on
aphelia built property
 
Aphelia owned market storage charging
aphelia calculated taxes.
 
Aphelia taxed sales accessed from
aphelia built consoles.

Aphelia designed mining units with
aphelia controlled remote kill switches
 
Aphelia controlled armistice zones protecting
aphelia taxed planets with
aphelia taxed hexes.
 
Aphelia controlled deep space scanners listing
aphelia leaked info on other players' activities.
 
This list was just off the top of my head, apologies, Aphelia, if I have forgotten to attribute something to you.

This display of time needs to change. It's a ROUNDED value, so sometimes you can add/remove runs without changing the time. Make it stop rounding, preferably client time and date when the run is finished.

I have a lot of stuff that I want to say about this change, but Deckard has straight up said, that if we only say negative things, we will just be ignored. I'm sorry that I do not see any redeeming qualities in this update. Apparently that makes my opinion null and void.

Say what you will about Star Citizen, but you gotta respect them for correctly classifying their game, and treating it as an alpha with regular wipes and doing what they can to develop their game.

Even Star Citizen knows how to keep their players informed of pending wipes. 
 
heck they are looking two wipes ahead. 
 
they are also in Alpha, just like DU claims it isn’t. 
 
 

Pretending that NQ will finish features that are far beyond their reach as of today is equally constructive... 🤷‍♂️
 
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post about piracy, that's definitely very possible...but it sounded to me like you were explaining a state of balance that exists only in the future and depends on features that aren't even planned.
 
I don't view that as constructive because release is coming up soon...and players will judge the state of balance as it exists today, not based on x, y, and z feature that may never materialize. 
 
Experience does matter when trying to speculate about the state of the game and its abilities, especially when there's so little information from the studio itself.

But the really important question is why on earth does one poster here always insist on posting in bright green?

Exactly... an update should be hyped, instead they drop these bombs and everyone freaks out at the change.... all because they want to keep us in the dark.

If all you want is specialization from players, the actual simple solution to the problem is limiting the amount of factory units a player can own.
 
You can also limit the amount of factory units an org can own. And there you have it, the net effect is that organizations are now forced to specialize as well.

I realize this is heavy handed and ultimately you'll need to undo so many things you've already done, but that seems simple enough.

One may say that this gives power to people who have a bunch of alts. Well... we're already there, have been since before beta started. The whole talent system encourages that so there's more to be concerned about here.

Simple solution but effective, and there's so little to do in order to implement it (other than... undoing what has already been done of course).
 
Proposed numbers:
 
Each account has a max limit of 20 or 25 factory units. This is not a lot of factory units. It will force specialization just like you want it to without cumbersome and awfully tedious mechanics.
 
If an account is in an org, that account adds 8-10 factory units to the org limit. An account can create factory units under the org or under their own account and share their units with the org. The idea here is to have a push and pull between accounts contributing to the org pool but not excessively, they still will likely sacrifice their own account unit limit for the org. This will prevent orgs being bloated with big factory unit pools and it will also force orgs to specialize.
 
All in all, schematics don't make sense, They break immersion quite heavily (why would you buy them when it would be more practical to clone them... why is there only one schem for one production unit, etc...). They add immense tedium. They just don't make much sense on so many levels. You'd be better off with just limiting factory units per account.

This is now almost a week old and still not fixed. @NQ can we get some kind of update? I'm a small-time miner but i still mine 2 million liters a week, and i don't have enough adderal to create 2000 separate orders.
