Er... if yer gonna hack something, WHY a game forum??? One of the simplest and most pointless tasks of all? Oh well, too late to find out now, but I'm willing to bet he might try to get in and unban himself later, so I'll ask then...

As soon as possible - within reason anyway.

Also I ask you talk about the game aspect of this thread, we're trying to put the whole episode behind us now and if talk of hacking continues I'll be forced to close the thread (really do want this to just slip quietly into the past).

[pretends to not care any more, and momentarily stops talking about hacking]

Wait a minute... you won't let us talk about hacking OR oversized breasts in renders??? Hey! [is beaten by various admins, etc.]

Anyhow... I really think this topic can't be about much else, seeing as its original intent required Avenger's feedback...

Alright - talk about hacking if you must, but not Avenger. I don't want more trouble than there is already, let it drop.

  Actually, I was thinking kill the topic, but what the hell... er... anyone into... hacking... stuff?

I find it a mind-bubblingly uninteresting pasttime. Moving on...

The game should feature natural occurences that can actually affect flight. I'm not talking running into an asteroid or getting a little EMP, how 'bout getting hit by lightning if one passes through an ion storm? Or having your shields get affected by the particle stream left where another ship recently traveled?

User turrets (the AI flies a specified path, you shoot), and grappling hooks enablling you to come up close to a hit ship no matter how fast it's gong are other, if bad, ideas...

i like the idea o player useable turrets - prhaps even cap ships - also what about a underground segment liek flying into an astroid - or perphaps even inside a large ship like b5 image having a dogfight in the middle of there it would be cool - you could have a mission where you get caught by the enemy at the end and the next mission you start in the enemy docking bay after having made your escape - i would love the escape to be a fps but thats apparentlly a no no but then once in you ship you need to find a point where you can exit the ship but the docking bay will be closed so you have to find some place where you can blast your way out such as a large window or something  that would be cool -fighter beam weapons another must -hmmmmmmmmm what about the hud - fs2 style of perhaps see the ship? i quite liked not seeing it but it could be done well if the ship only just objcused a tiny part of the screen like  starfury cockpit - hmmm the scanners i dont know about you but i find them pretty useless we need to think of a better scanner system

'bout getting hit by lightning if one passes through an ion storm

In FS2 you can get hit by the lightening bolts.

What I'm trying to figure out now is a way to intergrate the radar sensors into the main HUD instead of a small Wing Commander type display while still being easy to get used to.. hrmm...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
