Wouldn't it be cool....

Postby Edddelos » Fri Dec 08, 2017 5:58 am

Either really cool idea/concept or a bad one I dunno. But here it goes... :ugeek:

What if in ED instead of always procuring a ship through purchase in a space port, if there was a planetary ship graveyard, not necessarily ships you see for purchase either, I'm talking obsolete ships. Ships you have to go scavenger hunting for parts, can even have engineer missions to retool parts.

Very off the wall stuff I know.

Another off the wall idea concept. :ugeek:

How about seeing a planet that has so far mined it has a Swiss cheese look to it, you can even blame it on Thargoids.

What would have been cool is if you could have contained yourself to the first thread.

No need to start another.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

While having your ideas in a single thread is better, I will say that both the ship graveyard and a mined-out planetoid sound like good CQC arenas or race tracks.

caves would be cool. if the planet generation do not have to only rely on elevation + and -, then they can more easily make non spheric objects. That would open a lot of possibilities and more variety.
I do believe caves were mentionned in the Beyond livestream regarding the new planet surfaces, so... wait and see

Lol, I guess you're not doing it right. Maybe a mod can combine the threads. :roll:

Anyway, regarding your first idea, the first dev diary mentioned having salvageable ships. Braben wasn't specific about whether that was just cargo or also the ships themselves. There was also supposed to be big shipyards and maintenance yards, where you could see ships under construction. I can certainly imagine a used ship lot on a planet somewhere. I may have even suggested it 3 years ago, along with a lot of other ideas (back when credits were hard to come by so saving money on a used ship would have been helpful). Instead we've got CGs, power play, the RNG casino, and multicrew. And the good stuff, like wings and planetary landings, is still bugged. :|
It's time to give this another go.

Wouldn't it be cool if JL merged the threads before Xebeth had to do it?

Damn.... another opportunity missed for me. Sorry bud. :(

I had them separate because they were two separate ideas. :roll: But its cool...

Added to; wouldn't be cool#2 (planetary)
But here's another idea, atmospheric lightning storms, blizzards, planetary earthquakes, erupting volcanoes.

Guess we'll have to see if frontier thought of these when they release beyond, and if not, here they are.
