Re: Draining Ore At Full Capacity - Bug Or Feature?

I think it can be an optional feature. Just in case you really want that star system to be completely empty of anything useful when your sworn enemy comes in. Or if you want to starve your sworn enemy to death :) Other than that - a short burst of 'puff' sound, a couple of kilograms wasted, and an a...

Re: Old time-domain scanner and other post-update suggestion

Found the logs. 2nd of February, discussion with Josh in IRC: Yeah! More or less like that. Mostly used to search for a very specific things, like ships' signatures. And well, much of the code and animations are already there and require only minor updates. Oh man, that embarrassing its/it's error ...

Re: Old time-domain scanner and other post-update suggestion

But couldn't the frequency-space scanner already do all of those things? However, I think temporal-space scanners still have some use - interpretation of aperiodic signals, such as a communication broadcast. That'd be a nightmare to interpret in the frequency-domain, but in the temporal-domain it c...

Old time-domain scanner and other post-update suggestions

Yeah, second time starting a thread here. 1. Sensors I've seen the new frequency-domain scanner, and I'm very impressed; however, I like the look and feel of the old time-domain scanner a lot, and I think that it can be brought back to life to search for a specific (and known beforehand) signature. ...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

That's it; we have this argument because we mean different things when we talk about drones. I and the author of the thread (I believe) think that drones are basically programmable units able to operate on their own ; as such, they are equal to ships in terms of physics, collisions and so on. The ma...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

Aye, so here's the key difference. Well, each one is entitled to his own thoughts, I guess. Me thinks I should go to bed. Need to make another presentation about yet another way to mess up our planet tomorrow... The last thing - I had a random thought: H-technology is so good at explaining everythin...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

Quoting is a nightmare in Opera Mini, so I'll just respond: Neutraly charged objects will penetrate shields. Of course, plasma should be pretty dense to reflect lasers and it will probably explode when neutral object enters it; a kind of dynamic protection we have on tanks. Would throw the spacecraf...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

Oh, so we don't agree after all. I can make the claim that shields require a lot of CPU whether or not they're based on H-tech. And a directly opposite claim can also be made, I suppose. If we go all realism, fields can be electromagnetic and require little in the way of calculations, with crazy con...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

Shields...well..If it's not an H-field shield, than I see no reason why they should require a lot of computing power. And surely people who manage to travel between stars can pack more processing power into the car-sized flying contraption to handle this. I just don't see any reason to make drones d...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

They're not bound to the H-drive implementation at all. All you need to assume is that the tech required for drones to operate consumes a lot of processing power, more than the drone's microprocessor can provide. H-tech provides a plausible justification for that but even in its absence you can ima...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

It makes complete sense - you actually make it make sense in your own post below, and I'll cover that. As for construction drones, a sufficiently powerful processor bank would exist at the construction site, allowing construction drones to operate within its vicinity. Yeah, I certainly can see it f...

Re: Hello All - and: How boring is LT going to be?

Welcome to the forums! I am also quite concerned about the exact richness of the social part of the game (because building bases and running economy is not really what I'd like to do); I even did some sort of proposal about social interactions some time ago. I believe that AI that Josh has written c...

Re: Combat Drones & Why I Oppose them for Limit Theory

Any 'bandwidth' thingie just doesn't make any sense. Like, at all. Constructions drones are there to work autonomously, completing a given set of orders; I expect no less from my combat drones. If I need to baby-sit my drones, I might as well do everything by hand. Bloody ridiculous. From the gamepl...

Re: Social interactions and making Universe history interest

You know, this spawns some good ideas though. Kind of like you have in MMOs some marker over the NPC's head that tells you that they have a quest for you? What if it signified that the NPC wanted your attention instead? You could spend text after text with an NPC only to realize he was lonely and w...
