I was thinking of a command like
/location

where it would give you the system and sector like it already does but it also gives you the XYZ coordinates. this would solve the "mining" issue and also add a little realism to the game.

this would work say for mining in this example.

i just found a roid that isik in it. i the type "/location" or have it bound to the "L" key.

it gives the coordinates and i enter them into my PDA (which is always close by while playing.) under noets

Mining Rockes:

Isick: -> pyrones d13 -1536.2/5000.2/-987.99
-> Pyrones d12 125/369/-6698

apachine -> pyrones d13 -1536.2/5000.2/-987.99
-> Pyrones d12 125/369/-6698

anyway you get the idea. that way i can go back to that location when ever i want, even if it is a day later and if i get a collection that is large and i hit a mining mission with any recored ore i have i know where it is. instead of just the sector and the type of rock.

there thats my 2¢

believe that they had this in beta and then removed. Could a beta explain why?

[edit] with regards to coordinates, less for mining and such.

Great minds think alike I guess. You may want to take a look at this thread:

Some issues were raised about the ability to make bots that would trade or mine for people.

I'm betting /displayshippos was removed because the hippos were just to much for most people to handle.
Either that, or because Rom wrote the coolest bot ever.

We used to have a function to get your ship position. People exploited it by making bots that would trade for them. Function went away.

Hooray! ;)

yah i typed xyz into the seacrh and what i though

it was the spelling for coordanets (later to find out that it is coordinates) lol

i see the problem with auto work, thats easy to fix, make the station rotate.

rotate the station

and have to rotation change randomly each day.

say today from 1am to 11pm it rotates at -3 p and on tomorrow from 1 to 11 it rotates from 3 b. and have the two hours in-between for the "changing of the rotation"

there thats my 2¢

I'd also like /setdamage back. Oh, and /+turbo should once again be able to take in values from -1000 to 1000.
AND I want the insane limitations on the chat removed. I liked being able to bring the server to a screeching halt with my fun-fun nested say alias.
I'd also like Avalons back, I just can't seem to be able to kill anyone without a rag-mine-nuke setup.
And let's not forget /query video set linemode. That was a fun command to tell newbies to type.

Mmm, wireframe mode...

I miss /set damage. And the negative turbos. I also miss my personal bug, the fact that turbo didn't drain energy in 3rd person mode. :P

/displayshippos was also fairly useless for finding anything, unless you were a bot.

This has been suggested before, and the devs are aware.

I was never able to display those silly hippos.
