I'm sure this idea will have been mooted millions of times before but I couldn't see a thread for it in the list of suggestions sticky post.

So I'd like to see a new "Manufacturing" licence which you use to refine the ores you mine/scavenge and then use the refined stuff to make things; more ammo for yourself and eventually more weapons more ships and so on. You could have an item you buy which sits in your port inventory (or your cargo hold) and slowly creates things out of the materials available to it...

To me, it seems the next logical step after being able to mine things would be to be able to do stuff with your ores, other than sell them...

but then the game become likes wow and i dont like wow so i put a [stamp of disapproval]

Hi
You can find those topics using the search function (which takes some learning) or by google-searching the V-O forum (which seems to work better)

Although I agree we don't want a "WoW' stats-based game.

Enjoy the game, pilot :-)

What a fitting name this chap's picked for himself, eh?

Oh, I don't know, Genka. I sort of think you should have gotten to it first.

Well, unlike the poor bastard all the way up top, I wasn't too keen on stealing your backyard wrestling name and sparking a vendetta that lasts for several seasons before we finally reconcile and join forces to defeat a common foe named Inept Patrol.

Well played, sir.

Thanks those who pointed me in the direction of threads related to what I wanted.

Something rather more uncomfortable to those who made unconstructive comments.

I approve the death of this thread now.

This is the proper way to close a thread:



As for the trolls (always the same ones), the devs, the guides or the moderators have not shown much enthusiasm for exercising control over these boards so get used to it. Best you can do is report abuse from time to time.

Occasionally, this gets adressed but... it seems some have more privilege than they deserve.

Edited out my double negative (ouch, brain hurts)

Der damn trolls are quite similar in a lot of ways, really.
For example, I hear that genka douche, much like upper case, doesn't bother paying any subscription fees.
Unlike the upper case fellow, however, he still plays the game on occasion! Shocking!
