ah. not some indiscriminate description with any given value. but rather "cash crate" like brinks money bags?

yeah. that would be nice.

More frequent dev responses to posts. It's great getting long explanations whenever there is something going on, but Inc, you say you've been reading this thread and liking some of the ideas? So maybe we could get a "These are great!" or something just to let us know?

Well, no-one wants to see "these all suck."

Then how about a "Don't think I'm not seeing these, guys! Keep posting!"

From the news:
I am reading the "quick and dirty" type suggestions forum posts, and other ideas for things that could be added more easily, and appreciate the input. I have a whole list of forum posts that I'm intending to rework into tickets for our Trac system, so keep the ideas coming. Thanks much everyone, hope you're having fun :).

I'm saying give us posts on the forums. Please :)

I've been doing some measurements of the universe, calculating distances to WH's and what not. To help me find angles, I turn background details to "lower", which seems to make the skybox display blocky pixels such that 128 pixels make a full rotation. It's good for quickly triangulating distances for jumping out of system, etc.

So, idea: It'd be handy if there were an option that simply put a grid of lines across the skybox for reference.

heres my idea. since the mwheel can be used with the scroll function to act as a click can it be made to scale up the throttle say 10 m/s each click or so for combat purposes or just for flight while fa is enabled because i've seen the fa off combat assist forthrottle but one for fa on is sadly not there / bindable currently

1. How about having unique hail texts saved with each of our alt characters? I don't want to hail someone as the PA guild when I'm working with my character from the ITG guild, for example. (Or when I'm disguising myself)

2. Make the 3rd-person camera move faster so I can take some more sweet screen shots! I don't like it moving at 1 meter/second when i'm trying to camera-chase a player for a screenshot.

3. This brings an idea to mind: for the guiding-missiles-from-a-distance idea, just use the 3rd person camera locked behind the missile as an alternate view after you shoot the missile. When this view is activated, it switches on the manual guidance system. Just give us missiles with more speed and maneuverability (turning speed) and lock our viewing direction into the missile's guidance (like when mouselook is off in your ship) with the missile moving forward constantly. When we click or when it would otherwise do so, it explodes and reverts us back to first-person view.

1 has already been ingame for a long time.

2, you can do by turning off hud visuals and chasing with some fast ship. visuals is toggled with either f4 or f5.

Not only has 1 been ingame for a good while, there have been multi-character hail sets with the alias/bind system for even longer. Check the wiki.

I'd like a rocket or rail that does very little damage, but causes an effect like typing /set fov 188, and maybe one for /set fov -75 too (so i could shoot relayer and cure the universe is upside-down bug)

[edit]

oh yeah should last for 10 seconds or so.

Not a bad idea, a scrambler of some sorts.

Give this ability to seekers! So

a) they become even more annoying, and

b) seeker missile launchers actually become useful bits to pick up.

Figure out why so few people choose the Serco. Is it color? Is it backstory? Is it equipment? Is it reputation? Is it language? (Dominion vs. Nation)

They even seem like they bully the UIT around in the backstory. I would make them more honorable warriors and less like bullies. The Serco should be more concerened about honor than any other nation. Bullying doesn't fall under honorable.

Uh... they DO bully the UIT in the backstory, Ghost, way before they became honorable warriors. It is their dark deed equivalent to the Pure Human Credo of the Itani. The UIT's dark deed are the Corporate Wars. If you changed the bullying, why would the UIT leave at all? This change would require a massive rework of the backstory.

Maybe more emphasis and clearer language should be used to describe this change in the Serco would help, and that has been discussed plenty already.
