[BlackRain]

I think that is for the best for us

Indeed!! And the fact that he's working now is a good thing too!! means that the next release is closer than ever.... Am I wrong?

I am not at liberty to say, sorry hehe

Very interesting project!! I'm ready for being a beta tester anytime for you!!

I would love to have more S and M classes player ships controlled...

The idea of a clickable Map, or cockpit and capship deck is very lovely too!

Hope the best luck and smartness foor you all to make it!!

Don't hesitate to contact me there or by forum MP if need of a beta tester as I actually play vanilla (or few modd that doesn't touch original files) cause Ican't be more for you as I'm not very friendly with scripts lol!

Keep up and, again, don't hesitate if need me anyway!

I love the idea of controlling the ship via a clickable map interface. That would be excellent.

I hate that the skunk has to dock at everything... It means if you want to add new ships you'll have to create new dock interiors for every one of them... Unless you replace the docking procedure with some sort of shuttle or cargo pod. The ship pulls up along side the station, and you hop aboard a cargo pod, and land on the station. Or make it even easier, simply remove the whole docking thing, and put a transporter room in place of the dock, and you beam directly out of your cockpit.

I know it will probably never happen, but one can dream.

I hope the devs are reading this
I really think that replacing landing pad with a bridge, and making it so, that when you double click somewhere on the map, capship in which you are sitting will fly there (and if you click at enemy ship, it will be attacked), would improve the game by a GIANT bit.

It cannot be that hard to design. A bridge is not going to be a problem - the Egosoft modeller has proven a DOZEN of times that he has dem skills to make anything look good
And a clickable map... Shouldn't be a hard nut to crack for the devs in my opinion.

well, Map Interface is not that necesary imo.. if you want to fly farther than then somewhere in the current Zone you can use the current Map floating like its done currently, if its something nearby just click the related Object in Space directly (Bonus Points when the Player Char points with his Hand in that direction and says "Attack that one!!" when you click an enemy Ship )

Yes, travelling between zones is good enough.
But there is no real way to tell your ship to fly to certain coordinates in a zone, and that is why "clicking on the map" is needed.
Yep, I've been exactly imagining it as a captain on a deck, points his hand on a enemy fleet and says "attack that, guys".

may be a good way to include something like pointing to go would be to get a "fly to coordinates like it was in previous Xs BUT i remember it was asked long before and have no real "will do" answer... may be my reminds is wrong...

Clickable bridge in any way should be more immersive though IMO...

wait and see!

This has come up quite a lot of times around different threads, IMHO it is a great idea and would really help with the immersion of the game docking the skunk and being transported to the bridge of your capital ship
Just wish someone could actually get it done...
