Just one for the long term...
I think it would be good if the radar dishes located on the outside of the stations were able to move and even better could be destroyed blinding in station players.

-1

+1 if those are supposed to be some kind of radar (or something similar)

-1 if those are supposed to be comm dishes

PaKettle, just wondering.... what happens if you destroy the ones erected on the scaffolding in edras? Also, could/should we consider doing the same for capital ships? And how much damage would be required to destroy these dishes?

It would be nice if changes like these could result in some actual function to gameplay. Like -- if you destroyed station communication arrays, it would render game chat inoperable if you were in the sector.

I realize resources are minimal and changes are made in very microscopic steps, but... it's hard to get super excited about stuff like this (including the capship debris) if there is not some kind of basic gameplay reason to interact with the changes.

Which is why I said long term....
Plenty to do in the short term that would make bigger impacts to vo.

I think of them as some sort of radar dish but a destroyable comm array would also be kewl.

If my ship can operate comms from an empty sector in greyspace, then what would it matter if some station's dish gets blown off?

All things should be destructible with timer for respawn.
We see already they making roids destructible so they got the idea hehe

I should have clarified. I will do so now. My +1/-1 's were about the movement. Comm dishes are mostly stationary devices. Moving "dishes" are normally items like RADAR(RAdio Detection And Ranging (though i personly doubt they'd be using RADAR in 4444. Probably something much cooler, because we are able to detect that a player is in a sector without having eyes on them. Even if they are occluded.).

If parts get blown off a station, there should be faction loss.

well if you want to get picky...
Circular dish shaped antenna on a gimbal is used for long range comms and targetting radars.
I still wanna blow them off the station on occaision....

+1 i want to take my frustration out on the dishes that scrapped my moth and made it spin
