RE: Karlotta's Thread of Wonderful Things - Karlotta - 04-05-2020

A few days ago a member of the Liberty Government asked me for help in rewriting their laws, and since I've asked this to be done on numerous occasions, I went ahead and did it with goals similar to the Rule Rewrite.

Goals:
- make laws faster and easier to learn for new people
- make things easier to find for everyone
- make them less confusing by putting parts that belong together together
- make them more aesthetically pleasing, better organized, and less annoying to read in order to give a better impression of discovery
- make them short enough to put into infocards on the server, similarly to the Help System

I started by cleaning up the index page of the Laws of Sirius and making a first proposal for the Laws of Liberty. That proposal can be made even shorter if some things I wasnt sure about yet will also be implemented (see the post after this one).

Currently, some examples of size of laws are in terms of word count are:

Liberty 3238 (proposal reduces to 2041 or less)
Bretonia 2978
Gallia 1147
Rheinland 3216
Corsairs 1963
Kusari 2142
Crayter 1997

I think it should be possible to reduce the number of words in each house law collection to 1500 words of less, even if that requires some smaller law changes (there are none in my proposal so far, unless I misunderstood some laws).


Proposed Index Page:
------------------------------------------------
Current:
https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=8584&pid=183747#pid183747

Problems:
- too much text to server as an effective table of contents
- small print is irrelevant for people reading the laws, only relevant for those writing them
- "A codex listing the laws and regulations applicable to" is repeated 14 times and yields 0 information
- font and colors together with the fact makes people read and average of 3 words like "The Republic of" before they get to the word that lets them find what they were looking for in every line



Update:


Laws and Regulations of Sirius


House Governments

Republic of Liberty
Kingdom of Bretonia
Federal Republic of Rheinland
Empire of Kusari
Confederacy of Gallia



Non-House Entities

Zoner Freeports
The Corsair Empire
The Outcasts
GMG Sovereign Space
The Crayter Republic
The Core
The Coalition People's Republic
The Order Overwatch


Put this into government rules instead of the index page:

Each Colonial Government is entitled to one submission detailing all applicable laws within their sovereign territories.

All such submissions should should be no longer than 1500 words


RE: Karlotta's Thread of Wonderful Things - Karlotta - 04-05-2020

Current:

https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=8584&pid=184926#pid184926

Problems with current version:

- extremely long and wordy
- certain parts repeat or contradict parts that are written in a different far away place, not in the same or nearby place
- links not identify-able due to weird use of text colors
- a lot of italics, bold, and colorful text for unclear reasons that makes it harder to read
- white and light blue texts are barely distinguishable and therefor don't emphasize
- subsection numbering doesn't show the section number
- section titles have more letters in "section number" than the actual information
- the dots like • (probably) cant be copy pasted into an infocard
- some like dont reflect the forum threat title properly, and would therefore make the thread hard to fine in text only infocards


Update:


Changes:

- reduced number of words from 3238 to 2041. Mainly by removing repetitions, lengthy formulations, and useless details. If the "unresolved" and "proposed" parts were implemented, approximately 300 more words would be removed.
- removed mention of LWB
- moved cloak + guns-for-self-defense clauses to equipment section
- moved "Reporting Crimes" out of numbered list of crimes and created "Enforcement" section
- moved definitions from beginning to end of document
- moved POB laws to after more common crimes
- removed many italics, bold letters, and colors that made emphasis moot by being confusing and making url links unrecognizable
- adopted a more systematic 3-color + default ink color theme
- changed section separation lines to be more visible
- changed listing dots to - to make lists consistent and copy-pasteable to infocards
- changed the restricted areas section to what it is probably meant to say
- removed .s and added capital letters where appropriate in titles and headers
- changed names of links to actual forum thread names so the can be found without the url in a server infocard
- created an "enforcement" section that describes how justice is administered
Moved/removed form notes section:
- removed the specific mention of the Treaty of Curacao because Treaties are linked at the beginning
- moved the point about "interpreting the meaning of laws" to "Enforcement" section and changed it to "misleading citizens about the law"
- moved the point about choice of punishments into "Enforcement" section.
- moved the point about height of fines to "Enforcment"
- moved the point about hacking communications to "non violent crimes" and added to the definition
-moved the points about gathering evidence and challenging judgments to "Enforcement"


Unresolved:

- Section Four "II. Foreign Agencies" conflicts with stated exceptions of Section Two "II. Foreign Warships" by stating that military is not tolerated for any reason
- not clear why "human cargo" is allowed in embargo systems
- "Those found breaking the law in the House of Liberty, whether in the presence of the Liberty forces or not, forfeit all protection that the law provides. " Not sure what the purpose of this is and if its a good idea. Also "This is in case the pirate attempts to deceive authorities by falsely claiming to be the victim, and not the aggressor." seems useless. so removed it for now


Proposed but not implemented:

- The POB License laws could probably be rewritten to provide better guidance to building gameplay-enhancing POBs, using the same number of words. That would also change the content on not only wording/length of the laws, so its a separate topic.

- The list of criminals and illegal equipment is nearly identical, and the same list could be used for for both cases to save a lot of space

- examples of special permissions for ships could be moved to the request thread to unclutter the house law post

- treating equipment and ships the same (go sell where able or leave) would reduce amount of text and detail

- "Base Licensure" should probably go into a separate forum thread to unclutter the laws post

The Laws of Liberty






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. LAW ENFORCEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.1 Judgment, Punishment, and Compliance

Individuals conducting criminal activities, or being part of criminal groups, will be subject to on-site punishment by officers of the Liberty forces, ranging from a verbal warning to immediate use of lethal force. Credit fines levied on the spot in space may be up to ten million credits.

Further legal action may follow if applicable. Fines levied via the neural net can be of any value, but can only be issued by the Primary Fleets of the Liberty Forces.

Judgment of officers on duty are to be abided by, but they can be challenged by contacting their superiors. The aggrieved individual has the right to inform officers of their intention to challenge their judgement, but threatening officers in any way is unacceptable.

All officers are subject to judicial review of their actions, and will be answerable to a criminal court of law if their punishments are found to be unjustly harsh or lenient.

Attempts to mislead civilians or Liberty Forces about the meaning or content of the law fall under section 2.5.


1.2 Reporting Criminal Activities

Law abiding civilians within Liberty can report crimes un-witnessed by officers of the law so they can protect them against criminal entities, via intercom or neural net. For the latter option, follow the instructions given in the Liberty Criminal Registry to file a report.

RE: Karlotta's Thread of Wonderful Things - Karlotta - 04-11-2020

The following re-arranges the Liberty Laws concerning POBs into Liberty's pob licensing thread Notice: Base Construction Licence - Guidelines and Template

It also re-arranges parts of the original licensing thread into the Player Owned Base Guide

Both posts are then made shorter, mostly be removing words and sentences that don't actually provide information useful for POB building.

Changes:

- format and color scheme of licensing thread changed similarly to Liberty Law rewrite
- removed repetitions and redundant sentences
- re-ordered requirements for pob owners
- removed quote, code, and bbcode in form to make it easier to read

Revised POB Turorial 1st post:


Discovery Player Base Guide - Part I
Updated for 4.91.0 Patch 8


Introduction


Before you build a base that you really want to keep, consider the following:

- Do you have the funds to sustain the base, including purchasing supply transports, paying for deliveries, and if applicable, House Government taxes or Pirate ransom fees?

- Do you have enough suppliers to deliver life support and repair commodities on a regular (often daily) basis, especially in an emergency or unexpected absence?

- Do your ships have ready access to the commodities needed to upgrade and maintain your base?

- Will your base and suppliers be adequately protected from attacks?

- Will you have enough base administrators if something needs to be changed on short notice?

- Are your base administrators familiar with all base commands to properly manage it?

- Will your base have a clear purpose that you will continue to pursue?

- Are your prepared to initiate and maintain communications with surrounding factions regarding your base?

- Are you prepared to allow local law enforcement or warlords access to your base?

- Are you and everyone using your base prepared to comply with all laws the above impose?

If you answered "no" to any of these, know that you are likely to lose your base through the powers that are.

You may of course attempt the experiment and experience anyway, although it is advised that you talk to existing base owners for advice or participation in their endeavors.


The Player Owned Base (POB) feature allows players to construct persistent yet destructible bases anywhere they wish. A POB requires regular supply to maintain as, as it has a built-in decay rate to prevent unused bases from flooding the game.

Apart from being a place to store and transfer items, POBs can also produce certain items if the appropriate factories are built:
- Cloaks that make your ship invisible
- Jump Drives that teleport ships from one location to another
- Hyperspace Scanners that map coordinates for Jump Drives
- Docking Modules that allow small player ships to dock on larger player ships
- Cloak Disruptors that disrupt player cloaks
- Hyperspace Matrix that lets ships jump to your location

[align=center]Discovery Player Base Guide - Part II
Updated for 4.91.0 Patch 8


Quick Start Guide


The following details exactly what you need to construct a POB, the commands used to do so, and various other tid bits about staking your claim in space.

The first thing you need is Base Construction Platform. Secondly, you will need to obtain the following commodities in the vessels cargo holds:

140 PlasFoam Conduits
140 Industrial Hardware
100 Reinforced Alloy
140 High Performance Alloy
50 Optronic Arrays
50 Heat Sinks
30 Fusion Diodes

Once you have that, you'll need to find some prime real estate for your station. Where you build your base is totally up to you and there are no server rules prohibiting station construction. I will offer some advice though:

[color=#FFFFFF]• Keep in mind that you will need to supply the base daily in order for it to survive. Proximity to the basic commodities that make your station tick is extremely helpful.
Many of the houses currently have in role play laws restricting or forbidding the construction of player stations in their ZoI. Do your homework before setting up shop. Otherwise you may find a large fleet of battleships parked outside beating the doors down with mortars.
If you know your base will eventually be assaulted, remember that asteroid fields hinder battleship movements.
Player bases also take no damage from radiation fields, placing one inside a field will give it a passive defense mechanism.
Once you've found that prime location you're set. Zoom that Base Construction Platform to your location and remember, once you enter the command the base will appear 200 meters in front of you, with the docking bays facing you. Re-positioning a base is impossible. Be sure you're happy before you enter the command to construct the base.

Speaking of that command, here it is:

Code:
/base deploy <password> <base name>

Alright, to explain this command:

<password> this part of the command sets your master admin password; no spaces are allowed and there is no character limit. This password allows you to create and clear regular admin passwords. Do not give it out to anyone you do not trust with your station's life.

<base name> this part of the command sets the display name of your station; spaces are allowed, but there is a 60 character limit.

Look at that beauty! Your very own piece of Disco, but you don't have time to sit back and sip some tea in your new pad. That station is in need of a crew and commodities to make sure it doesn't turn into a wreck. There are a few things you need to do immediately after your base is deployed. Dock to it with your Construction Platform, this is the only ship that can dock right now. After you are docked you will need to assign docking permissions and a 2nd tier admin password (if you're going to have people helping you run the base). Without these two things done, no one can dock to the station to supply it! Here are the commands:

Once you dock, you'll need to login in order to control the base:

Code:
/base login <password>

<password> this can either be the master admin password you set or, after you've set up a 2nd tier password you can use that one here. The only difference between the two tiers is tat a master admin can remove a 2nd tier admin password.

Code:
/base addtag <tag>

<tag> is either the name of the ship or the faction tag prefix. Stations cannot detect suffixes, so don't bother entering them. An example would be OSI-. (no period) This would allow anyone with OSI- as the first four letters in their name to dock to the station. Be careful adding entire ship names as tags. If you enter HeavyTransport as a tag and someone has a ship named HeavyTransport1 they will be given permission to dock.

Station control is still very simple. If you add a tag, all ships with that tag are considered allied. Everyone else is either neutral or hostile depending on the station's defense mode. More about that later.

Code:
/base addpwd <password>

This is a 2nd tier admin password. Give it to those who will help you administor the base.


Code:
/base addpwd <password> viewshop

This is a 3rd tier password. Give it to those who supply your base. It allows them to view shop only, so it's easier to spot when the base requires food or repairs.


Now that those two things are done, you need to get your base some supplies; the place is likely already falling apart without a crew to maintain it! You have a couple of choices; either have a friend with you with the following commodities in his large transport:


200 Crew
400 Food (see below for different types)
400 Oxygen
400 Water
XXX Reinforced Alloy

Where XXX is the rest of his cargo hold after he has the other commodities

Or park one of yours nearby and F1 it when no one is around. After you've done what I've instructed you to do above, log into that ship, dock, login as an admin, and then sell the commodities to the base. Now go get more Reinforced Alloy. You'll need to feed the base a steady supply of Reinforced Alloy until it completes construction. Your base isn't completed just because you typed in a Hook command! It starts out at 5% of is maximum hit points, all that Reinforced alloy is to see it to 100%. It will take several days to do so, depending on how many repair commodities you are using. Around 5 days for three of them, or 15 days for one.

My advise at this point is to quickly begin getting the materials for a Shield Generator Module to the station and begin its construction. Without this module, your base is a sitting duck in a pond full of hunters.

Keep in mind bases that are not kept supplied will perish. All cargo and credits on the station are lost. Ships docked to the station at the time of its demise will appear 100k below the system's sun when they un-dock.

Warning!

If you attempt to construct a base and you do not have all of the required commodities; the construction will eat everything you have, but fail. Ensure you have everything required before you enter the command to construct the base.

If you attempt to construct a base and do not give it a name or password all of the required commodities will be remove from your cargo hold, but not base will be deployed.

Want to know the cost and time it takes? Take a look at the below.


For example, to make a Core 4 Base with the following Modules:

• 5 x Storage
• 2 x Weapon Platforms
• 1 x Shield Module
• 1 x Docking Module Factory
• 1 x Jump Drive Factory
• 1 x Cloaking Device Factory
• 1 x Hyperspace Scanner Factory

It will cost 642.5M to build and will take a total of 461 Trips using a 5ker.

RE: Karlotta's Thread of Wonderful Things - Karlotta - 05-28-2020

The following rewrite is the work of Bretgov, I'm just posting here to have a place to edit in a few changes and try to create an "infocard" version.


Proposed changes to Bretgov's may 2020 rewrite of laws (obsolete):

- remove the numbers in contraband tables
- fixed broken "/font" entry in table (spotted by Decktare)
- no need to repeat "full cargo" in every table line
- replace "Xm per 1,000 units." with "X000 per unit"
- fixed broken table ending before section 3
- the "float" around tables caused weird formatting breaks so I removed it (not sure why it was there at all)

Questions:

- "Law enforcement agencies so empowered by the Bretonian Government to make such decisions" not clear who that includes
- specifying that IFF is what makes you hostile will probably cause problems with people using IDs and gear of hostile factions accusing others of meta-gaming or unlawful arrest


Proposed changes to Bretgov's 05.06.2020 rewrite of laws (obsolete):

- "Pilots" should be changed to "pilots" in 4.1 kidnapping
- Look like someone forgot to remove 4.3 form section 3, because it's basically law 4.2. Removed it.
- removed N/A in tables because it just adds useless clutter
- made the "licensed and authorized research vessels" shorter like "licensed vessels"
- removed the part about "transporting to research facility"

Questions (not amended in the text yet):
- Is "Empress of the Taus" still a thing? Which Tau system(s) does still claim?
- I looked in 2 online dictionaries and google translate, and none knew "donfiscation" as a word. I'm guessing it means to donate the confiscated stuff to someone but would be better to keep the stuff easily understandable
- there should be a sentence about how to get a license for things like restricted cargo

RE: Karlotta's Thread of Wonderful Things - Karlotta - 06-08-2020

UPDATE OF OCEANA SHIPPING PLATFORM thread

[Image: de5nk8c-06206712-7470-418f-9fd5-e3fff491...507Q5_GZcg]
[Image: fsPi3SQ.png]

Situated just south of beautiful Planet Curacao in the Cortez system, Oceana Shipping Platform's services are open to anyone with good standing with Gateway Shipping Incorporated. Clients are required, at all times, to obey the laws of the three signatories of the Treaty of Curacao; namely Bretonia, Liberty, and the Crayter Republic.

Oceana's commercial sector consists of three departments:
  1. Pristine Ice storage, purchase, and sale
  2. Trade of selected commodities
  3. Manufacturing of Docking Modules, Cloak Disruptors, and Hyperspace Scanners/Matrices.
I am Olson Carrick, Director of Oceana Shipping Platform and Gateway Security. We look forward to welcoming you at our station to do business with you.

[Image: lEERTtR.png]

Mining
____________________________________________________________________________________________
[Image: Lwm0UTi.png]

Pristine Ice is best mined 11k above the ecliptic plane, at about 22k from Oceana, in sector 5D.

DSE Rhino freighters with Light Mining Arrays in slots 4-8 are ideally suited to mine the ice at optimal speed, extracting about 5k ice in the time it takes a transport to travel from the ice field to Oceana and back, leaving the the ice drifting in space, ready to be tractored in by the transport on arrival.

Miners who prefer working alone can alternatively use a DSE Hegemon Asteroid Miner with Heavy Mining Arrays in slots 1-4, and use its cargo space to haul ice to Oceana itself, albeit with lower profit and efficiency than a team.

Rhinos are available on Planet Manhattan, and Hegemon Asteroid Miners on Planet London, Planet Pittsburgh (New York), and Valley Forge Flight School (Pennsylvania).

Our local DSE representatives can provide you with DSE IDs and mining arrays if needed.


Ice Mining vs Trading Profits
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Oceana Shipping Platform currently buys and sells Pristine Ice for 3000 credits per unit.

This leads to a profit of 83299 c/s for a Mining Freighter + 5k Transport duo working together (41600 c/s each if they split equally) selling their ice to Oceana.

A Hegemon Asteroid Miner working alone will make 24800 c/s because of smaller cargo and slower mining.

5k Transports buying Pristine Ice from Oceana and shipping it to Nauru in Omicron Delta make 32900 c/s on the one way trip. Similar profit on the way back is made by buying Iridium Ore and selling it to Sabah Shipyard in Coronado.

5k transports who ship the ice to Planet Miura in Okinawa or Planet Metz in Lorraine make 30000 c/s one way.

Non-minable trade commodities rarely go above 12000 c/s profit.



[Image: lEERTtR.png]
[Image: e2eYYC3.png]


Commodities and Shortest Routes
__________________________________________________________________________________

The following commodities and prices give 5k transports an average of 15000 c/s profit on the 2 way trip to the nearest source.
