Should ship transfers have a time delay or not?

[Angus]

What that also does is nullify any of the balancing mechanics of your combat ship. Quite simply, its travel restrictions (a core element of the games balancing design) is 100% thrown in the bin. If that's the case, then why have different ships bother with different jump ranges in the first place?

All true, but personally for me the biggest downer is the impact on the atmosphere of the game - what the hell, I'm playing a game where I can magic up a Faulcon DeLacy Anaconda at will? I thought I was playing flaming Elite!!!


For people new to the game, or Elite in general, who may move on in a month or two this will be less of a problem, but for people who are passionate about the Elite legacy and its principles, and are inspired by what David Braben has to say on those things........ its proving something of a hurdle.

Then explore in the combat ship. You will be ready for combat 'now'.

Why? That's why I have an exploration ship.

So do exploration.

This is a consequence of a choice. Exploring in exploration ship, and combat in combat ship.

You cant have a cookie, and eat a cookie.

I just did exploration to get here. Now I want to do combat. Sandro is telling me I can do that right away. I like that.

So get your combat ship then do combat. Fly for it, get it, and do combat.

Or click CQC if you do not want to fly for your combat ship.

But I can just transfer it like Sandro said. I don't want to have to fly the ship out there when I can just transfer it.

I can't use my modified combat ship in CQC. Nor am I interested in pvp.

You want to have a cookie and eat a cookie, and good unlce Sandro want to give you that.

Transfer is not needed, you can buy combat ship alltime, even now.

I do not want to trade, combat or whatever, but i want to have ships crafted. Should Sandro give me 10000000 cr and best crafting rolls, because i want it?
Why not, it will not affect Your gameplay. It will remove my play barrier.

I can't buy the modifications I have spent 2 months on.

I want to have fun. Waiting isn't fun.

I just did some mining and have a hold full of metals. I need to travel elsewhere to sell it, but actually I'd like to jump into my Vulture that's docked here also and do some combat in the RES site.
Sandro says NO.

Why is your requirement more important than mine?

 

[Kyokushin]

Sandro should give you also these modifications. Its a game barrier you need to spent a 2 months to collecting it. You should get them NOW.

It isn't. What I want is already in process. I think we should be able to store ships with cargo as well.

Getting them is part of the fun. Waitingfidva ship to arrive isn't gameplay, nor is it fun.

Cool. I will fly in my asp to Sothis, i summon my Cutter, i load it fully with biowaste, then i switch to ASP, i fly to mission system, i summon my fully loaded cutter.

I want to do mission, not jumping it cutter. i want to complete my mission NOW.

Good point. It's a barrier to my gameplay. I wantz the heatlazordeaththing why do I have to wait? It's so unfair.

 

[Marc_Hicks]

Are you joking?

Sometimes it's hard to tell here.

Yeah, nothing to do.....except trade, or explore....or play CQC. Nothing to do at all .

Thanks for making the thread even bigger, keep trolling : we need useful posters like you to get the devs attention on this.

.... which would reduce trading to ship swapping and summoning - the player would not require to travel with cargo on board their fast transit ship - and it would destroy PvP piracy.

Thank You. I suggested a bit tweak. I have hope it help to players like me, You, or Droogie to play a game what we want to play, in a way we want to play.

Robert, please, this is not a PvP game... let play other a game what they want. If i will summon my cutter with biowaste, instead of flying it, it will not affect Your gameplay. You can still fly with biowaste by Yourself.

Now, now, now.

waahh...

And therein lies the problem they are now storing up for the future. This capability would destroy everything the game stands for.

But as it is right now you could only switch to the Asp if it had the capacity to store the cargo the cutter has. When have they said this is changing?

Edit: n/m, I see the sentance was in another context.
