Blackspace!

Go boldly where (almost) no men has gone before and you will find a place to sell those.

It's time we got the option to get rid of components at any station, possibly at a price, of course.

 

Where can you unload those? Is this a new station?

@Gold: If you can't find the docking facility he's talking about, you can always buy one of the lesser self-destruct devices. Assuming you survive the blast, it will still cripple your ship and destroy any power generators you have on board, if memory serves. Your engines will die without power, though, so if you have more than 500 clicks, you'll lose those.

(By the way, that feature seems kind of useless, DU. If you're under attack from another player and losing, you are unlikely to notice in time to blow yourself up. It might be interesting if it inflicted damage to any other ships/enemies in the square, although that might be overpowered.)

 

If that fails, just give us a few hundred billions for compensation so we can self-destruct and start over

 

Sounds like your ship's machine spirit is upset with you. If you PM me your password and the account you want fixed, I can probably calm it for you.

(Encountered the bug myself yesterday and fixed it this way. The method I'm thinking of can be used for evil, so I'd prefer to keep it to myself. Up to you, obviously, but I figured I'd make the offer.)

 

So, what does the future hold for the multi-billionaire club? Is there any point in continuing to grow our ships, or will they be reset later on anyhow?

 

If you have an actual solution...

 

You really need to get to fixing mining, DU, to give an alternative to everyone for getting teh riches. Never mind the fact that profit per click on a same sized ship is ten to hundred times less profitable in perfect conditions (which seems to be unattainable atm), the variation of the amount of resource you mine per click is also a joke, making it hundred to thousand times less profitable.

 

I do. Word of honor.

 

Right. DU, would you be so kind to give me the $350B+ I spent on restructuring my ship after self-destructing to get rid of the cargo hold bug? Pretty please?

 

Tsk. The Faceless Emperor offered you bread from his table, yet ye have turned from him, even unto death. Now ash alone shall be your repast!

Proposed method of galaxy wide destruction...
One end of the far map is a ship named "This" it will be at least 5 times smaller than the great one and at least 10 times as powerful. On the opposite end is its double called "That".
Each will move slowly towards the center and when they meet will merge into something far far worse: "Discuss!" or "The inane one".
Whatever the case this herald of doom can attack planets, warp attack any unlikely enemy strong enough to be a threat to random far reaches of space and upon its neigh impossible death create a black hole/void.

You mispelled Lesifoere.

 

I will have to go back and go back and go back and respell it [arefully

 

He already did something considerably meaner. The first time I fought the Entity, it was 1/75th my size and did about 15000 times the damage to me that I did to it. Killed me in one shot from around 30 million cumulative points of defense.

(The third time we fought, I'd refactored some things and killed it in one shot. Of course, that was when I still had my inertialess drive technology; it wouldn't go anywhere near that favorably now.)

 

Well, I can say it makes a decent mobile game when stuck somewhere.

 

Is recent updated settled now?
I was docked at Lonak last and now see that my ship has been destroyed-or rather lost everything down to escape pod. Bank is still in tack thankfully. Shame though.

Actually screw it. I have my bank, like I said, I'll just build a new ship -a better one.

*Spoke far too soon its all back

 

I can't remember where I parked my spaceship... I'd just parked on The Edge and ducked inside to grab some Metal. When I came out my ship was gone. All that time wasting was a waste of time!

Mindless space trading has inspired me to play X3:TC again though.


edit: weird... ship found. Went from 10 thrust down to 1.30 per hour. Might take a while to get off this rock.

Shed 18% of my ship size, purchased 10 or so thrusters... now have 1.41 thrust per hour. No one likes fatties. Even in space. Time to start jettisoning all non-essential crew.

 

DU must be having a blast.

 

You should tweak the thrust forumla - currently adding a judson on top of Cijaas actually reduces your TPH.
