Re: Guaranteed Base Content
Either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday I'll be having a proper bash at getting some ideas made (a good 30+ items, in one go :3).
If you have any ideas, you have the rest of this week to get them in.
So far I have made 16 new items for this; another 28 are to come + some extras (depends how I'm feeling).
So that's nearly 50 new base items?! That's more than I thought. XD

Re: Guaranteed Base Content
You're not the one working on this kind of stuff, as far as i remember, but are missles/fighters ever going to be made useful for bases?

Re: Guaranteed Base Content
There used to be (and may still be) a sign in the EF trading post in Nexus that had a scrolling message, said something like buy microchips here. I was thinking an equipable item for bases, call it something like 'Shop sign'. Similar to trading bay, when equiped the sign appears above the shop. To edit what it says go into control on the base and on a tab underneath base description is a button that says Sign description. Put in your message there (mabye hav a limit to 50 characters) and then the message will appear. Useful for adverstizing particular items you want sold, especially in galaxies that are full of other shops.

Re: Guaranteed Base Content
Signs would be nice, and swear filter would solve most moderation problems. However, how to make sure people aren't breaking other chat rules such as advertising subs?
My suggestion for that would be to link these signs to the bulletin board. You'd have to keep putting money into it to keep it up, like a "space billboard," and the message could be read from any AI base for ease of moderation. Obviously, it would also be visible at the sign's location.

Re: Guaranteed Base Content
What about something like:
~Tetris Packaging Solutions~
Description: When you don't have enough room, these guys will help you out big time.
Built from bp (rare?) Item size: 1
What it does: Can only be used in a ship, makes all (or 1) base item in your ship x10 smaller (i.e. adonis mag 4k space becomes 400 space). It can be transfered from ship to ship without effect but once its put in a base it becomes its original size again.
Use: Mainly for uni resets, or packing and moving bases.
I know I'm one for out there ideas but I thought this might be possible to do.

Re: Guaranteed Base Content
a ship with unlimited hull space whose speed is inversely proportional to the cargo size!

I know I'm one for out there ideas but I thought this might be possible to do. Quite easily possible with factories/item converters, but I think it'd be too easily broken.

Re: Guaranteed Base Content
Cheese Mining Station.
Can only be installed on a Cheese Moon, and sends out fighters to kill rats, scoop the rations they drop, and brings them back to the base.

Re: Guaranteed Base Content
Hmmm any base artillery? I'd love to see a weapon with really low rof ~10-20 secs (possibly not tweakable by augs), with decent DPH and uber splash effect.
