Now that ship transfer has a delay...

whatamidoing · Sep 13, 2016

I think it's high time cargo loading and unloading get their delays too! And ship repair, gotta take some time for repair crews to arrive and do their work. And refits, those should have a delay as well, it can't be easy and fast to replace the bulkheads of a giant starship after all.

Let's have consistent realism here now, Frontier.

Can we have a delay on these types of threads? And by delay I mean kill them with instant handwavium

Monk · Sep 13, 2016

I agree.

I want to see my ship loaded by a fleet of drones and for refueling arms to descend on my ship pumping unholy amounts of hydrogen fuel causing clouds of vapor from the ultra cold pipes carrying it.

EDIT: And then descend from my Cutter as the Duke of Vape...puffing clouds like some mystical space dragon

I didn't know the Official Result - where's the link?
Well I only think that now NPC should have a delay from Instant Interdictions and always appear on radar for their line up on our 6 plus delay for their Wake Scanner instead of Instant Dropouts into a 2nd Ship's Interdiction when they're not even in a Wing.
FD you still bleeding owe me 6.4million!

This is about balance and not having a combat ship warp/jump 22,000 ly to a new bubble in one shot. You want to get there watch the loading screen or don't do it. I hate the loading screen and the instant transfer i know i would abuse to mod my ships.

Did you not notice the sticky thread that people have been arguing with each other in?

If that's all it was about they could just put a range cap on the service?

Now, in the name of realism, why is there still a speed limit?

pumping liquid hydrogen through a flimsy pipe that allows condensation sounds like it violates space-OSHA

It really is shaping up quite nicely. Developing a very ice berg type look

Hey you keep quiet about that! The...uh...yah..uh meta...yah...uh meta materials that make up our..uh...yah...pipes is state of the art. Best in the bidness, as they say.

No need for regulations here....nope, just good guy corporation trying to fill your ship up fast!

Miko_Stargazer · Sep 13, 2016

None of those nasty regulations in the Federation I hear. The space stations regulate themselves

I see you name dropping Corridor Digital; that Vape God vid was hilarious.

Also I'd love to see a lot of these little daily matters. Really. Just when we have space legs and walk around. Same with ship transport, really. A lot of those mechanics tie in with being able to walk around and interact with stuff and then ten minutes in some base somewhere, or roaming around a station gives people more to do than just invent 'fluff' to fill in the time.

They actually make sense then. Now? It's sort of cart before the horse, IMHO. Space legs really need to be the next thing added. It would make a lot more stuff possible, without being an imposition.

Monk · Sep 13, 2016

@kofeyh

Totally agree.

Generally, as I see this as a catch all for all strawmen against delay...because that is what it is...I thought I'd fly right in the face of it with what I actually want...which is definitely not what some of the most ardent instant supporters want.

To OP, careful which strawman arguments you toss out there...you are giving me ideas! LOL

Agony_Aunt · Sep 13, 2016

OP - i guess you voted the other way, and are now a little annoyed the voting didn't go the way you wanted it it. However, threads like this do not really help at all.

If you are serious about it, then create a thread in the suggestions sub-forum.

Locking.
