You should be making new rp tech to travel faster like a micro jump gate techly a trade lane with only a start and end ring and this trade lane can have a special designed model. Then when u enter the lane its like ur at warp or in a wormhole u can't be stlped or disrupted good for long distances an I have tested this before an it works

Actually, that isn't as simple as you wrote it. Shrinking the system thus forcing people into interaction is never a good thing,but making interactions easier to find is, but I guess everyone wants to force people into everything over here ... at least nowadays ...
Let's say I'd wanna do some images for decorating my RP story ... then I probably wouldn't want to immidiately interact with anyone, cause I'd have to Photoshop all those chat lines out of the image ... but if I'm forcedinto contact, I have nothing else to do, otherwise, I'll be thrown rocks at in the name of : "QQ U NO RP ? DIEINFLAMES" ....
So how much is the fish then ?
On the other hand, something that even Starlancer used to have , In-system-warp drives would be interesting , especially in places like Zeta and the rest of the Omicrons... but I'll stop here, before I get swarmed with "NO U" kind of posts and all of those kind ... you guys are really getting boring when it comes to destroying someones ideas
You're kinda right. And about those in-system-warp drives, it could be a really interesting idea. If someone asks, you've got my vote

An the insustem warp drives or warp gates are so easy to do way wasier then shrinking a whole system cause its made of only two trade lanes

Someone has to research, develop and deploy those Warp Drives tho.

I'm sure some disco faction already has in RP somewhere an wouldn't be hard to do an experimental project making inRP
Disco has to advance in RP and get creative in making new things, instead of the same old things be redone

Yes, but before those can be deployed we need a faction to do the RP behind it. *looks at Core*
Edit: I dont think anyone has done it before, if they have smack me with a Link.
RE: Omicron Zeta Update - Alphablood1 - 08-03-2015
I don't have a link to a post of it but I do know some small factions specialize in things like this
Example: Solar Runners, (Gate building factions) , (the order might),
RE: Omicron Zeta Update - WesternPeregrine - 08-03-2015
It's a grey area. No one has done rp to make cloaks, and yet everyone and their grandma can acquire one.
On the other hand, corporations like Samura have rped efforts to make jump gates, but got their progress halted due to established lore (of Agiera "monopoly").
In my opinion, this micro warp drives serve little purpose on Discovery.

I did some, yet can't make them without help.
RE: Omicron Zeta Update - Komitoza - 08-03-2015
Problem is Cloaks already exist inRP. Existed even before Discovery, well as prototypes.
Hello, cloaked Valks taking out Rheinland Battleships and ambushing people in California, hello Battleship Osiris. By now it has been even more perfected.
While something like Warp Gates just came up as a topic. Yes factions like the Solar Runners or Ageira or even Core/Order have the assets and inRP are able to make such tech. But still haven't. So at least until someone puts an effort into Roleplaying the whole Warp Gates thing emerging as brake through tech, it shouldnt be a thing. But its only my opinion. Sorry if I seemed a bit rude or blunt. \:

Actually the only parties that makes commercial in Sirius cloaks are, I believe, only APM and DSE (the latter under LSF survelliance). Reason? This is reverrse-engineered Nomad tech.
I need to ask Golanski about the Osiris, since its cloaking system seems to be a bit different than Rheinlanders had.
