most people's fantasies aren't even that, as they assume everyone in the world will play along with their fantasies, so they won't follow the examples of spacestation 13 or eve online or loving vrchat, and the nice admins will ban everyone who does not.

They think everyone is going to be role playing captain space man and not just exploiting every loophole to get money for a bigger ship and griefing for the hell of it. It's like they have never played a video game online.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


Who the gently caress even wants to crew someone else's ship? How complex are these ships that you need more than two or three people to make it function? Why would anyone want to work at a fake job for some nerd on a fake ship, doing fake poo poo all day?


This is good stuff right here.

If you're expected to crew a ship couldn't f2p Goons just sign onto a megafreighter crew and de facto run it by bodyblocking the owner and occupying the helm and space toilets and things?

Captain's log: some day I hope to play for more than five minutes without these goons stealing control of my capital ship and redesigning it to be a giant pink party bus. Fixing it takes too much of my time and spacebux.

Star citizen is still stuck at never.

And even shitizens think Squadron 42 is unlikely to release in 2018.

gently caress I'd love to steal someone's giant captial ship and sell it for pennies at the space scrapyard.

Wouldn't a capital ship realistically have to be crewed in shifts? What happens when your trusted crew of unemployed goobers passes out for the day? You'd be a sitting duck for anyone in a different timezone.

Have they answered what happens when you log out? Does your ship disappear or warp back home, or just drift through space? What about IMMERSION?!?

Once there is demand for professional ship sitters, the free market will provide it as a service, duh! (Then all you need is for local players to form some representative regulatory bodies, which will then create oversight agencies responsible for certification and enforcement of space law in regards to the sitter agencies. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Be a space health inspector for 10 space bucks per hour!)

I want a space ship that hauls bio waste, but the bio waste is stored in the cockpit of the ship and I have to sit in it all day wearing a snorkel while I make my rounds. I mean, that's totally normal though.

I'm going to be a professional spaceship babysitter, and going to throw wild parties in the spaceships so as to leave the owners having to vent the ship to space to even start to clean up the empty bottles, garbage, rotten food, poop, needles and corpses left over. Gotta give the space janitors something to do when they're bored with Viscera Cleanup Detail.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could collect space feces from the the space toilet and then put them on a compost pile and make soil and then grow something on the soil? You then could have players vertically integrate their septic tank and farming businesses and offer Mich cheaper food. Please let me know what you think about my compost mechanic idea. I think it would be a great addition

Can I get a refinery module for my space farm to process my customized gmo switchgrass into biofuel for my hallway tank? Also, what are the organic pesticide/fungicide options for dealing with the procedurally generated parasites that will surely plague my crops? I want my ship to be as green as possible.

Mr Roberts, I have an idea involving converting urine to a potable liquid that can be pumped directly into the player's mouth or unconscious player's mouth (if they were to have passed out due to dehydration). Basically, the player takes a filtering pill and that's it. No need for strange machines or attachments. In a real water pinch, you could even drink directly from the hose! 🍼

Feel free to contact me if you like this idea!

This but we'll be shooting space pornos instead.

Also Roberts, can you design a ship that could be used for broadcasting media? I want to be a mass media creator in SC and alongside my vast porn empire I would like to have a giant ship that acts as a printing press, recording studio as well as a broadcasting station for my media. I'll definitely need to buy my own mocap setup.
