How about allowing the SMA to repair damaged modules?


Using which resource?

Giving it the ability to repair using nanite paste would be wonderful, although I don't think we'd be able to get that in time for Odyssey.

I also share the views of the above. I was hoping for something along the lines of the ability to design our own deadspace cities complete with dockable stations, pleasure hubs, acceleration gates, etc.


Something like this is what I am trying to ask WH space dwellers over here.

Phase Space Concept



If you are trying to drum up support for your terrible wormhole stabilizer idea without anyone from w-space noticing, you picked the worst possible devblog comments thread for that.

As long as this doesn't spike the price of nanite paste.

I would think either an alternate new consumable or just have a the repair module be loaded with minerals and use up a portion of them to do the repair.

At this point I feel starebase should keep being worked on with nothing big changes to the game. Keep adding as much changes to make them fill a role! Other big topic, we should have the whole system redone! Why? Can't we make something new out of the redone work, maybe with ships which can just float in ship and we can add on too it to make it one big ship as we add on too it over time. But it comes with risks to build and shoot able like a star base with timers. Hell even give it a jump drive!

I would love to see something like home world days!



P>S. What happen to the idea we can place POS any were in system >?

Possibly because nobody but you knows what you mean with those terms, and even if they managed to guess, they wouldn't see them as issues.

Cricket Wars? :D

One little thing I would like to see as well, well one of several is a distance counter showing how far out a gun, ecm, ect.. is from the tower when you are anchoring, just to make it easier.

Also just a little marker in the manage screen to show what percentage of full a guns ammo is.

I rather like these suggestions :)

Expectation management is difficult in oneself--I commend your attempts to manage the expectations of others.

I like how the new storage facilities keep people from stealing stuff, but not from destroying it outright by unanchoring the module.
That was a sincere sentiment. I know at times that they are indistinguishable from sarcasm.

We don't need nano past! Can we just get higher repair bonus on the carriers... just for repairing the star-bases... stations...

Repair mechanics could use an overhaul..

POS should have a repair module, that can repair remotely. The same module should be linked to Station repair function, and it should all be time based. So you got effective capacity repair per minute based on type of slot and how many slots you rented.

In empire it would be price based and POS owner would rent the slot to the station. In null the price could be set to price based on alliance, corp or public levels. A standing based modifier would be in effect in empire(npc) and price would go up according to how active a station is used, like office rental fees.

Similar POS slot rental should be used on all functions, invention, research, copy and production.. So effectively players take over ALL of these aspects. Exception would be 0.9 and 1.0 sec systems which would maybe have NPC POS that was super effective and gave the same number of slots as we have now. ALL other systems would only have player slots.
