Topic: Webmap question

Bonk is correct. There is no way to (legally) stop those things reporting in the news except by turning it off completely.

I dont see what the big deal is. You cant conceal fleet movements. The news reports everything.

You are such a n00b sometimes Dizzy  while nothing can be totally invisible, you can conceal and disguise quite a bit if you know what you are doing

I deny typing that.

I have no problem with bases not showing up on a webmap, I do think its ok to have placements show in the news however, as this also simulates the fact that an alert empire could have agents watching its enemies movements and the rerouting of materials and personnel for base construction in a tactically important area which would be noramally watched more by such agents, would leave some tell-tell signs.

What might be a cool feature would be the alowance of placing Red Herrings.  Imagine if you didn't allow placement of any more full starbases in the rulesset of a server, but replaced starbases with decoys that could be bought in the shipyard a a fraction of the cost so that the purchasing account would seem to be in possession of a starbase.  They placed the decoy base and that also appeared in the news and would make a good trap.  I doubt this is possible however due to the fact that once placed the decoys would probably interact in a way with the map that allowed for resupply, but figured I'd throw the idea out anyhow just incase someone was brilliant enough to figure out how it might be done.

Thats easy, Chuut. We turn base stations into cheap ass DefSats. Will show in the news like a regular base, but imagine deepstriking it only to find you came 6 hexes deep for that? Oops, wont work. Cuz in that sense, even a cheap ass defsat would function as a base, you'd spawn and be able to resupply there...

Hrmmm I have an idea... gonna post another thread.

Simply via supply traffic, if nothing else.

This man deserves a slave girl lap dance.

Tell Kroma to break out the green bodypait, oh wait Gorn are naturally Green 

[CaptJosh]

Oh HELL NO!

Firstly, this kitty don't swing that way.
Secondly, Kroma's huge! He'd crush someone if he tried to give a lapdance.

Think before you post PLEASE!

That is silly, if forces are attacked, you know about it.

[CaptJosh]

Barring jamming and overwhelming opposition, anyway. But even so, when a group of ships was cut off from contact, their government would at least know something was wrong.

I was going to post in this thread, but I have come to realize that my belief in what a proper and realistic D2 Campaign is not shared by anyone else but me.

Maybe it's time for a change.

Hey! You just did post in this thread!   

I hear ya bud. Its a finicky crowd. You'd think they were all women. I've gotten used to them.

Oooohh and here's an idea.... why not keep it to yourself and don't say anything about the idea...
That way people are sure to come around and we'll have all of the servers set up how you want.

Or, if you don't think that would work you could type something out, post a link, basically put forth an argument for what
you think would make a good server and see if anyone picks up on it.

Really the choice is yours, I've always believed in keeping my thoughts to myself though, so I'd go with option one..

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

You would know they were attacked and by what only if they escaped and reported or if the log bouy was recovered.  If they were destroyed and the log bouy eliminated they would be known to be missing in action but the size and composition of the force would remain a mystery.

Wow, Hexx, thanks for the thoughtful, compassionate, non-sarcastic friendly response to my post.

You're right, with this type of support, what am I thinking ?

 

If there was any question before, it's been answered now.

With the lame original post what were you expecting?

2000 people to log on and start a " tell us what you want Frey" petition?
I freely admit you guys have a lot of work to do to keep this place around for us to post on, but
if you have an idea.. why not do what everyone else does..
post it?

Or you could stick to your psychically acquired knowledge, realizing the universal truth that everyone already knows
what your idea is and has rejected it..

Either way...

Utter-BS.   If a patrol doesn't check in, you know something happened.

And subspace anomolies are ALWAYS cloaked ships

Lame..post...

LAME POST ?

You want a fraking lame post, here it is FurBoy:

Take your suggestions and shove them. I've had it with the absolute LACK of respect or civility in these forums. OMFG, what did I do but say what I thought, posted what I perceive to be a fact. HELL, you should have seen what I was GOING TO POST. But once again, I choose to take the high road, and tried to come up with something that would say what I wanted it to say without being sh*tty. And look what it got me.

YOU, on the other hand, took what I said and applied YOUR BS PERSPECTIVE to it, and thus what did you accomplish?

NOTHING. NOT A FRAKKING THING EXCEPT PISSING ME OFF.

I've really had it up to here with all you fokkers who want to bitch, complain, moan or cry about ANYTHING YET YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING TO SUPPORT IT.

WTF do you REALLY do Hexx besides post? When have you EVER stepped up and actually supported anything to do with D.Net?

You frakking guy, I've had it with the egos, attitudes, and just plain FRAKKING DISRESPECT on this board.

This isn't worth it anymore.
