WeaverSpyder	Posted - 2003.09.22 16:31:00 - [31] i didnt like the last idea, its sounds like "the helping man was thrown out of is ship after rescueing someone" and its remenber me of GTA III when a cop can throw you out of a tank :) beside, the idea of non targeting, limited scanner can be verry interresting, and more easy to implement. After all a pod is just a engine with life support. one of the first thing that surprise me the fist time i play was the ability of the pod to travel like any ship, its just astonishing. My drastic idea of a pod is something that cannot even warp or jump at all, and can only detect LOS, have a limited life span. If you want to go to the nearest base, find you a good samaritan to get the that base because you can only navigate. After all, pod are just someting that help you survive, not help you travel. When your ship are killed, you are automaticlly throw out of ANY conversation you are actually in and can ONLY send distress call to selected channel (Ex. corp chanel or solarsystem channel). The distress becon will sounds like something like that: WeaverSpider activate is distress Becon in Pator System near xxx belt. and you will be able to click on the link to save the location, so you cand go quickly to it. The messaage will only be visible to people you have selected and only the people can send you message, as a pod do not have suficient power to send transmission messages, So rescuing party will not know if you are ok untill someon kill you or they get over the place. I Know that and idea like this will surely meet a lot of protest from people solo-ing, but its must be the risk of it. When you look on life boat that are aboard large boat in the real life, they do not have the particuliarity of getting back to their home base on autopilot, they do not or have VERY limited communication system, and you cannot live eternally in it. Pod are not a way to be more easy when your ship get destruct, they are a meant to save your butt when all goes wrong, and only your butt. sorry for all the error but english is not my native language, so i wish everyone will understand WeaverSpyder
Drutort	Posted - 2003.09.23 23:54:00 - [32] what about say if your pod could send those help signals... and npc's could help you out well the local's and in deap space well i guess only your corp mates would help you out... though i think a lot of ppl would cry about the pod not being able to jump and warp for so long as it does now... the least as most have agreed was taking away all those sensors on the pod... what about an idea of upgrading your pod? the basic one would not be able to travel but other ships would have more advanced pods? i mean think about it... a pod for a frig vs a indy vs a cruiser vs a battleship... you could have diff pods for all them... by class and abilities or you could go with the idea like clones have basic pod and you could upgrade your pod support Idea: QuickInfo an alternative to ShowInfo my MoBlog
WeaverSpyder	Posted - 2003.09.24 14:09:00 - [33] Seem good idea for upgrading pod, after all, room in BS are different that the one a frigate got... WeaverSpyder
Dukath	Posted - 2003.09.24 14:30:00 - [34] I think the reduced scanner for pods would be the best idea. so pods would only be able to see stations, gates and derelict ships (so they can still board them) Local should still work so he can yell for help but the player in the pod should not be able to see who is in local so the list of people in the system would be disabled.

Xenovetica	Posted - 2003.10.09 07:38:00 - [36] How about we just keep pods the same and fix the mem. leak? :D
SleeZe	Posted - 2003.10.20 01:13:00 - [37] Go support nomad's idea he's so rich of ideas :D -SleeZe
CowinSpace	Posted - 2003.12.15 11:14:00 - [38] Very good idea deserves a bump -------- To live your life, only once, and in your own sweet time. What more can you ask?
Easy Target	Posted - 2003.12.15 23:35:00 - [39] u could always have the POD as being optional... if u dont choose to have one then u can have more cargo space or whatever... maybe... i dunno... Easy Target -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- No i'm not good... but i have never claimed to be -------------------- Moments of genius
