Raise sorage limit in Latos M7

Aug 01, 2013 csgno1 link
A 50,000cu limit for Latos M7 is too low in my opinion since:

1) It's a really really big place
2) It's the only place tridents can dock
3) Said trident takes up a good chunk of the storage.

Since the trident has three times the storage of an XC I'll suggest three times the limit for M7, or 150,000 cu. Rental fees will apply of course.

Since there will be larger ships than Tridents in the future, maybe 150,000 is too low.

naw, no reason to let players justify being cheaper in the vast money bin of the VO universe.

There is a very good reason - a complete cappie takes nearly 50k in parts and M7 is not exactly the most conveinient place to store stuff.

+1 to more space being availible for rent.

I disagree... you conquer it, you owns it. Maybe a fee for people deemed by the primary key holder.

Nobody captures M7 ryan, it's the capship station. It is huge, so it does make sense.

On the one hand, who cares it's temporary. On the other hand, if its a simple value tweak why not.

Did you read the OP? He said rental fees still apply.

+1 increased storage rental options for capship stations. They're monstrosities.

No I didn't read the "leave the rental fees part". I retract my -1 and I'll leave it at 0 cause I still don't like the idea, but it's hard to articulate why

Have you naysayers seen the Latos M7 station? It's absolutely gigantic. Considering that the purpose of the station is building capships, I'd say it's pretty sill not to offer more than 50,000 cu of storage space.

This suggestion is both necessary and inevitable. Not necessarily today, but once additional capships like HACs and Connies are available to build, there'll be no getting around it. A constructed trident takes up 15,000 cu, and a trident is tiny when compared to a Connie.

Meridian said it best. Some people have already started stockpiling for the next capitol ship offering.

I keep running out of space in m7 now that I'm working on future cap ships. Do we know if this is an easy change? If it's not simple I'll keep quiet and cope on my own.

I'll check into it. I'm honestly not sure if it's a simple per-station value right now.
Mar 12, 2014 incarnate link
It is not a simple tweakable parameter right now (it's universal). But I've added that to the queue for the next release, to make it at least a unique column per station in the DB, and set it to 150k for Latos M7 only.

It still won't be trivially tweakable until we add it to our tools as well, but this should work for the moment.

How about BECAUSE YOU ARE A TROLL. You are welcome.

And hey Ryan, good to see you are commenting on something you have no [phaserlight]ing clue about. That's always useful.

That is an official image, greenwall. It can be found over here.

It is precisely accurate. I made it.
