Re: Wishes, pleas, suggestions and demands!
Wiggy's response to one of Dr Nil's 2006 many suggestions for improvements (most of which we now enjoy).
Lots of interesting stuff in this thread.
But I'm intrigued by the quote I've put in red which I've not seen before but seems to chime with my impressions from playing.
I've not seen much of this in the Lore I've read (but may well have missed it).
Any comments?

But I'm not sure what you'd do out of a system that you could do within one. And everyone knows that the space between world is filled with Thargoids. A station wouldn't last a minute!Dr.-SPACE-Nil wrote:More of the game OXP controlled to let modders make systems without planets or stars or cops or even populating systems with custom plists and e.g. allow for between system trading posts.

Re: Wishes, pleas, suggestions and demands!
I've never seen this thread before, but I like the way Dr. Nil was thinking.Dr. Nil wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2006 1:38 pmDifferent criminal system. You should not be able to commit outright evil acts of piracy, then make a few skim jumps and have everything forgotten and forgiven.
Auto Trader equipment. You just tell it in which system you plan to dock at a station next time and it loads your cargo up accordingly. Generally I think that there should be a wider array of automation options or equipment to let players automate away the parts of the game that they find less attractive and really get down to do the stuff that they like the most according to taste.

It's an interesting thread. The one idea I've so far come across which grabs me is this one:Wildeblood wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 9:05 amI've never seen this thread before, but I like the way Dr. Nil was thinking.Dr. Nil wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2006 1:38 pmDifferent criminal system.
