Community Goal Idea.. [Make a Shipyard at Obsidian Orbital]
- Thread starter Cosmos
- Start date
Before the deluge of comments begins, didn't the first CG fail to reach the level for a shipyard?
Personally, I think that the Pleiades Resource Enterprise or one of the other super power factions should hold the CG. This kinda respects the spirit of the original event.

I think you just want to ship all your ships to Professor Palin without having to spend the time flying them to him...

Eh, it's easy enough to store thrusters then fly out a handful of ships. Anaconda can do C6 and C7, Asp can do C5 and C4, etc.
That's a lot cheaper than transferring a fleet out there.
Funnily enough I had drafted just such a CG. I know in the past you used to be able to fill out a word doc and send them to Zac/Brett, but I don't know if that is a thing any more.
What I had in mind was a competitive CG with four competing fractions vying to make a shipyard:
Pleiades Resource Enterprise for the Feds
Merope Expeditionary Fleet for the Imps
Cooper Research Associates for the Alliance
and probably the Ant-Hill Mob for an Independent power
That would also determine what system it would be built in. I even had in mind, that they could use the new 'dry dock' asset with maybe an outpost attached.

Of course in the coming update Pleione is populated, though I have not been to see by who and what (other than it in Independent) Perhaps there will be a shipyard there?.

Yes.
Oops! Just realised I replied to the wrong user. My comment was intended for the OP, but I forgot that he's on my ignore list, so your comment looked like the OP. Hence why I responded to you. Sorry for the confusion.
Mods - is there any way the forum can be modified to show when posts are from a user on your ignore list (like the mobile site does)? Or just hide threads started by ignored users? This is really confusing otherwise.
Player submitted CGs this way..

nanite2000: No worries! I did transfer a few ships to the closest shipyard to modify a bunch of thrusters.
Even that shortened trip took forever in a 'vette...

I'd rather see a concerted effort to evict the pirates from power first.
So did I about six months ago. The Pleiades was in need of better infrastructure way back then and it seems from the OP here that nothing has changed.
I did send a proposal to "the powers that be" but I can't remember ever receiving any reply about it one way opt thew other.
Obviously the need is still there....... I wouldn't know as I'm in Colonia at the moment and we desperately need more shipyards and outfitting out here too.
^^ This. One on my ignore list is starting 4-6 threads per day at the moment. I'd rather not even know this.
People had the the chance to build a shipyard there with a cg but failed to do so.
I've been to Colonia recently too and it seems that shipyards are the last thing on the minds of the Devs when they should be the first.
So far I've only found one on Jaques but there's no missions or trade or pretty much anything there.
As for those of you that keep droning on about upgrading thrusters. Not all of us that want a shipyard at Obsidian want to upgrade Thrusters.
I want Maia to be my home port but for now It's just not practical.
I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in this.
Fly safe Cmdrs.
Why?

As the title says, shipyards are non existent out that way..
We need one out there.. Discuss and agree if you like the idea
Let me guess to send your ship to get engineered easy.
Because the exploration community still feels betrayed. We built it for all mankind, so were somewhat miffed when it was handed over to a bunch of ne'er do well pirates by the devs for no good reason. If it had been taken over by skilful use of the BGS it would have been more acceptable
If Obsidian Orbital had been completed with at least Outfitters and preferably a Shipyard I would agree. As it is, it's neither use nor ornament. Little wonder that only crooks can find a use for it :¬P
You might want to ask yourself who really let down whom when the CG was in progress...
Sadly I wasn't around for that CG but I still can't see why it can't get a do-over now that the ED community is so much larger.
Has the exploration community done anything about it though?
Manipulating the BGS isn't all that hard to do. Granted Maia is a busy system, so whatever other players do will often count against you. But it's only 25K population, so changes are easy to make.
A concerted effort by a group of CMDRs should be able to change the system.
