Get rid of NPC trade-lane disruptions, they serve as little more then a nuisance as the NPCs themselves pose no threat to anything bigger then a starflea. Make it so that when a lane is disrupted, its a player, or at least mostly so. It should encourage trading and make those times when the lane drops out from under you that much more exciting.

Also, Im pretty sure capital ship docking is impossible within the limits of the FL engine, though it would be cool.

Finally, mandatory pink strobes for all Lobby's ships:P

This would make my week.

LET US BLOW UP STATIONS.
Even if they respawn in like ten minutes, and take half an hour with five bses to kill, it would be something to work for, so we could say
Oh my God... I'm back. I'm home. All the time it was... we finally really did it. [screaming] YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! OH, GORRAM YOU! GORRAM YOU ALL TO HADES!
Hehe.

It works fine on the Flak 88 mod, and it would be nice to have, yeah.


Though if I could change one thing, at the moment (not knowing what will and will not be included in .86), I'd like Gallia to have unique gun lines for every faction from Class 1 upwards, as well as it's own unique Missiles from Class 1 upwards, it's own Bomber guns, its own Mines, Torpedoes (MRs, SNACs, Sunslayers, Novas etc.), it's own CDs, it's own CMs and even it's own sheilds.

Because really, seeing Gallic Fighters packing Cannonballs, Mini Razors, Nukes and suchlike, when Gallia is supposed to have been completely isolated for so long is worse than Gallia not having unique station/gate/lane models in my opinion. And as I see it, Gallia is the main addition that Gallia has made to Freelancer as a whole, and it should be done as properly and as completely as possible, meaning not leaving anything out.

Removal of Redundant, over wordy rules - self explanatory
Removal of Cruise Drain - Never voted on, never even given a thought toward what the community would think of it
A ban on Invite-Only factions - harms RP, promotes -group- mind instead of -individual-
Fix Cap/Bomber balance - Make it more realistic, 4 bombers per BS, 2-3 per Cruiser, 1-2 per Gunboat

That's all, really.
And the last one might be fixed in 4.86

This.

And, re-open SRP's and bother to do them in a period of time which does not see a fluctuation of over 9000 characters.

Hehe.

The Omicrons would never be the same again.

Also, slight problems for people who are docked?

Decent idea.

' Wrote:Removal of Cruise Drain - Never voted on, never even given a thought toward what the community would think of it

So lolcaps can cruise up and insta-pew people, or bombers can drop out of cruise and launch Nova torps at you from 10k away? (I did the math. It's possible.)

' Wrote:A ban on Invite-Only factions - harms RP, promotes -group- mind instead of -individual-

There aren't any invite-only factions. You just have to ask and get guidance on how to get in, even for Das Wilde. Heck, the Keepers and Phantoms opened recruitment aaaaages ago.

Would be nice. Should also make full-Solaris untenable somehow.

Concise list. Approve of it, with one minor exception.

It's been mentioned before, but I feel it must be mentioned again. Player dockable capital ships. It would provide insanely fun RP for those in carriers and such. That's pretty much the only thing I'd like to see changed.
