this issue has been around since launch, keep reporting them, I think someone has to go and move the settlement
We need to talk about settlement placement.
- Thread starter Commander Kheane
- Start date
and replace every administrator walking around outside in his Tunic with a type 9
I'd like to see more of this. It's terribly realistic. I can just hear the wage slave muttering under his breath as he dropped the barrels right in front of the terminal. "Move these barrels over there, by that terminal? Oh I'll put them by that terminal. Lets see if you make me move barrels again. I have advanced degrees exobiology and you're wasting me! $((%&@&@ terminal."
We have heat sinks too, why not just drop those? I also will burn up if I get too close to the sun, just remove that too then? what makes you think the alien races are from other dimensions?Wait, so we have spaceships, with faster than light travel, hyperspace to other solar systems, alien races from other dimensions, laser battles, massive space fleets.... but decent heat shielding is just a bit too unbelievable?
I think FDEV are trying to be super realistic, the OP is pointing out this is a failing, I understand what you guys are saying, but it's not intended.
Lucky for the OP you have absolutely no authority over anything. sorry.
I don't think that's what people are saying. Anyway, in my ship I can get MUCH closer to stars than this planet base and still maintain a low heat level, so from a 'realistic' point of view, its sensible to assume that these planet bases, which are much further away, will have similarly effective heat shielding.
I admit that my elite lore is not up to scratch, but my understanding is that they live in witchspace - which for all intents and purposes, is another dimension.

That definitely didn't need an apology.

Fair.That definitely didn't need an apology.
If you don't like what the inhabitants are wearing that's a different topic. I as responding to the discussion of settlement placement.
If a T9 can be safely placed somewhere, so can a settlement. Using the technology we are aware of in the ED universe.
Regarding the logical RP reasoning behind the location of the settlements. Who knows. I could dream up all kinds of reasons.
Yeah, I guess my point is your concern is about how close you can get, so you're acknowledging there is a heat element, clearly it would be uncomfortable to live/work there and with light travel etc, there'd really have to be an extremely good reason to put a base there. I think there needs to be some basis in reality otherwise why introduce temperatures at all, we are all waving it off right now, the point really is that they didn't fully think it through, and it annoys some of us.
yeah i don't know either, I'm assuming you're right.
Correct, so it makes sense that if they place a settlement close to a sun, a dude wont be walking around outside in a tunic or some regular space suit.
He'd be sitting in his Type 9 which we've proven can get close to a sun. So why are you making up reasons for this to work if it just gets blown away when some guy walks outside in a tunic? Is his tunic made of the same material as a type 9?
The settlement placements don't make sense and they could have taken more care, I think that's all that's being said.
Because I'm responding to the topic of the thread.
Edit
I see no environmental issues (hot, cold, proximity to stars) with the placement of settlements. If A T9 can land, a settlement can be placed there. The onlly issue with in-game settlement placement is with graphic collisions and mishaps. The ingame lore reason behind the placement of each settlement is not explained to us... who cares.

Okay? it's directly related to the thread, generally there are people walking around the settlements.
No. You are describing a possible issue of people outfitted improperly. Not with the placement of settlements.
So, did it work ?My 11 year old daughter tried that line on me recently.
Also, nice title.

I reminded her that legally she's under my thumb until she's 18, and also that I'm paying all the bills.
She was (mostly) joking anyway, so a little ribbing back at her was expected. lol.
As for the title, you can thank TJ for that. Talk about trolls....
Pretty sure whoever wrote this cares. This guy is working his tail off writing stuff no one reads to keep some sort of immersion in the game.
They seem to take this pretty seriously, that's why it's dumb when they put a settlement in a weird spot. It's something that's so easily fixable too.
Would you draw the line if they made suns landable?
So now your complaint is the game doesn't explain why each settlement is placed where it is? Does each settlement require a little in-game lore write-up for you so you can fully understand why it has been placed there? Maybe a little bio on each NPC living at the settlement too?
Most cmdrs can understand that settlements could be placed anywhere for reasons ranging from military, mining, science, industrial, tourism, privacy and secrecy. As said earlier if a T9 can land the location is fine for a settlement. Not sure why you would disagree with this very basic statement.
Totally, I don't agree, good point! See you later.
