+--- Thread: Is it possible to turn off the engines? (/showthread.php?tid=35038)
Is it possible to turn off the engines? - Linkus - 02-18-2010
I wouldn't really shut down my engines in the midst of space.
Even if I knew my car was fantastic and would always start, I would keep it running while in the middle of the desert (or insert other hostile environment)
It's a nice idea, I just would think that turning off your engines while in the middle of the most hostile place humanity has travelled and surronded by pirates no doubt, is a silly idea.

Silly, but a fun way to RP. And btw, why would you want to turn off your engines on a hostile System?:mellow:

Yes, this would be awesome. I support the E Kill version of it, myself.
Especially in larger ships. Looks weird for the engine to be spewing crap when it's not even moving.

' Wrote:I wouldn't really shut down my engines in the midst of space.Well, sometimes you aren't in the midst of space. Think of the players RPing a Battleship in drydock...

What if the pirates in question told you to turn off your engines?

That is indeed a very good RP reason. Same for Police with smugglers....

I would really love to see this implemented, a very nice suggestion...would help with rp'ing repairs at a station, and as a station either in friendly or hostile territory (I'm crazy enough to try and actually do this). So please add this ^_^

(Mini RP)
Pirate: Halt your ship and turn off your engines! - Now!
Trader: Huh? I can put a stop to the ship, but nnot turn it off.
Pirate: To make sure, I want to see them 'off', and that's now. While doing that, please donate us 2mill for our people back at home.
Trader: Sorry, but my engines aren't going off, and I have a family to serve.
Pirate: Who cares about your family! (fires guns), TURN THEM OFF!
Trader: Oright - you son of a ..... - heres the hecking to two mill!
Pirate: THANK YOU. Say, I don't trust you - smuggler - (fires his guns and leaves the trader ship disabled)
Trader: What the ....! Stop it! I sent you the 2mill - what else you want. God damnit, the computers are going insane.
Pirate: Hahaha, adios ediota!
(// Hmm, I feel to play more of this in-game!)
I really will ike to see this kind of RP in-game with the engine exhaust effects on - Epic!

If we make way how to turn off engines.. completely
We could get weapon/mine/missile that does that.. great for pirating..
It would be best to get implemented with huge EMP/EMF Mine/Slow torpedo.. For disabling many ships at once.

Although seemingly useless to me, I don't see why not. It it doesn't cause too much problems for the server or clients then go for it. One more feature is better than no feature right?
