I'm having troubles connecting to the server right now, anyone else experiencing this? I was getting some error messages about the server being on a different version than me 30 minutes ago, if that also helps.

Forsaken probably hasn't updated yet.

This player shop thing was exactly why my base was made.  But now I don't have to do everything through that shop I grew my base out of like a malignant tumor.

I will definitely be logging in as soon as I can (the server seems down now) Might even expand out and put franchises in strategic locations!

[Kadzar]

Assuming shops would work on ships, this would be the perfect reason to implement my idea of a multi-faction station with docked ship modules  owned by various factions. Or, since Schema said something about ownership data and whatnot, maybe it would be possible to put the shop blocks directly on the station (if someone owns the station in question, we might need some permission blocks too). It might be good to have some docked ship modules to hold chests for back inventory.

If this works out, we should be able to create Bay 12's First Galactic Market.

Server updated and up

[Felius]

Ok, I think I'll give it another try at the game next weekend. Anyone have a decent startup tutorial? Ideally that does not involve a lot of boring grinding to get low amounts of money before actually being able to make decent amounts of money? It reminds me of the poorest starts in the X series, and that's just boring.

Greiger Manufacturing has been partially remodeled using new technology!

Greiger Manufacturing now includes 2 new small vessel public docks, and the entire docking wing has been upgraded for public use.  Also, 4 of the station's 6 capital size berths have been repainted for public use.  Please use the purple marked areas for your docking needs.

Greiger Manufacturing also now features a small public factory, with temporary storage!  Get recipes from pirate stations but don't have a base of your own to try out crafting?  Well now you can use the public crafting area for all your amateur manufacturing needs!  Just follow the white line from the central hub for garunteed crafting pleasure!  (Greiger Manufacturing is not responsible for items lost in the public manufacturing area)

Greiger Manufacturing, at -7, -6, -8. "We improve when we feel like it."
_{^{*"garunteed" does not in any way shape or form imply a guarantee.  Greiger Manufacturing is a factory, and we cannot guarantee the safety of any users who cross any red lines into non public areas while under the effects of a gravity block.}}

EDIT: It seems building a shop block near an existing shop overwrites the old shop losing the inventory.  So the shop at Greiger Manufacturing will continue to be trading guild owned until I finish buying it out.

I like this new update. Now I too can run a ridiculous shopping planet. Thursday or so... then I should be getting internet

[Facekillz058]

We're all going to own shops and they're going to become totally pointless, xD.

I was worried that might be a problem. Though I wonder if it might not be limited to a certain distance. If I recall correctly, the actually shop part of the shop is only accessible from the middle; if you go down to the ends, I don't think it works, so it might theoretically be possible to build a station large enough to accommodate two or more shops.

[Greiger]

I had my shop block placed one one side of the station and the natural shop was on the other, no matter where I went the only shop I could access was my own, even at distances and directions where I should have been out of range of my shop, while being in range of the natural one.

When I removed the shop block the origonal became accessible though, so I wasn't completely right, the old shop isn't destroyed it just becomes inaccessible until the new one is removed.

[LordSlowpoke]

One shop per sector rule, I assume. Same with stations. Thankfully, my station orbits right on the edge of a sector, about 600m from a NPC one. Woop woop.

[NullForceOmega]

This shop block makes me desire decorative blocks like weapons racks and display cases so very badly...

[Facekillz058]

I'm in the market for glass blocks, blue hull, and white hull. I am willing to do a 1:1 trade for hardened white and purple hull blocks for each of the blocks I need.

[Kadzar]

I have a few new pictures. Really not a whole lot, since I wasn't really on that long and spend most of the time modifying my Jotun fighter some more, but there they are and here are the prettiest:

Spoiler: I have now seen for my own eyes that Greiger's station is non-factioned accessible. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Here is Facekillz's new station in progress. (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Here is my version of Nulius's Jotun fighter. I've expanded the height of the side engines to match the middle one, since I figured I could get away with it and it would allow me to add more hardware. The thrusters have been improved by at least 175% (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Since heightening the engines messed up the look of them somewhat, I decided to redesign them somewhat to match better, and I'd say it turned out pretty okay. (click to show/hide)

You never said you had hardened purple blocks! If I had known that, I'd have probably been willing to trade you more stuff.

[Facekillz058]

Oh, woops. Sorry. But hey, the offer still stands,
