Re: Ship structure speeds
Hitting top speed requires extra power to get it. If your power is almost all used up, it won’t hit top speedWyldeKarde said:I’ve never seen an instance where given enough time, a ship with too slow an engine can’t eventually hit top speed. It just takes a really long time.
Are you sure that your ship max speed is set to 100% and thrust also set to 100%?

Re: The Ideas Thread
In addition to market ads and letters (for when you need paragraphs), a holovid skill could be interesting.
> Buy holovid recording equipment
> HOLOVID NEW <name>
> HOLOVID RECORD <1-10> 'slots' of text, so you could make a mini movie, or record a speech.
> HOLOVID SAVE
> HOLOVID PUBLISH <name>
Once published, holovids could be purchased by others, or shared like datashards, and replayed at their leisure. Maybe have the cost determined by how many entries in Record?

Re: The Ideas Thread
I think it would be nice to have holsters and kithblade sheaths that are functional. I know holsters at least exist, but aren't functional at all. This is strange, not in the least because ambush literally describes you quickdrawing on your enemy from your (potentially non-existent) belt. Maybe make it work better or just work only with a holstered piece, and don't make holstering take balance.
As for kithblade sheaths, that makes sense to me thematically (Why would you want to carry around a large sword all the time), and opens up a potential ability: battleflow IAI, which could do any number of things. My thought was "only usable when not fighting, like ambush, and lets you flow into any number of stances. This would allow better battleflow control at the outset of battle, without being terribly over powered because you haven't built up any rage yet"
I'm not a fury, so that might be stupid, but I thought I'd toss it out there.

Re: An update on bashing?
Ekary, I was 3rd ranked for most of the climb, but I was never racing. If I was bothered, I'd be fighting for scraps still, but I'm more interested in enjoying everything the game has to offer, not slam my head against a frustrating part of it out of some stubbornness. I'm Morgan, if that hasn't been obvious from previous posts.
Re: Certain Attacks
I'm in the pro-variety attacks of attacks -- whether that be mobs that specifically hammer subsystems or have a wind-up attack/combo attacks. Adding complexity to learning new bashing areas is great!
For me, the biggest thing I would like to see is areas where stacked mobs don't all target the same thing (health/systems/afflictions) -- i.e., one mob is hitting you with subsystem or afflictions and the other is going after health. This would avoid some of the instakill issues that I face anytime after about level 50 that two aggressive mobs end up in the same place. The bots in Prugita hit for 1750+ damage sometimes without a wind-up and a stim is only 1060 health, so there is nothing to do but try and crash, fly, or just accept a death if you end up making a mistake. This also makes anything with roving aggressive monsters in packs almost unplayable at higher levels without a large group.

Re: Turrets Feedback
Unless Junkjet and Magnetize do a wombo combo amount of damage, there's no reason to use it while hunting, at least around level 30.
Junkjet does the same damage as Bot Claw while carrying the turret, but Claw adds bleeding immediately. Junkjet requires extra time to begin adding bleeding stacks. Also, Junkjet damage is reliant on Aim, Bots and Turrets use Techcraft.

Re: Earth Media
I can imagine a scenario where everything after 2020 or so was really only distributed in digital format, so current/old stuff (from our perspective) on physical media might be the only thing to make it through...Aurelius said:The bigger suspension of disbelief is that the only movies people in 2274 had with them were movies made at least 170+ years ago.ThePlaintiffReturns said:Seems odd that none of the media survived with the 'this is fiction, folks!' disclaimer that is at the end or beginning of pretty much every work of fiction ever.

Re: Earth Media
No one speaks Earthian. Even if there was a "This is fiction" disclaimer it may as well be written in Cuniform for all our ability to read it matters. I'm just surprised there's no Disney on there. Or for irony's sake, an actual documentary on the Trans-Continental Railroad that everyone is convinced is the only surviving piece of fiction, because what race would be mad enough to have willingly created a form of transit that relied on the destruction of natural resources, wide-scale pollution, and primitive welding and riveting techniques to keep water boiling long enough to build up the pressures required to move that much mass, and still manage to make it off their home planet before they destroyed themselves?
