what does someone do when they see their friend walking towards a cliff? shout, beg, plead for them to stop.
when someone tries to point out that x has invoked the law of unintended consequences, the discovery community rounds on that person with a big bucket of tar and some feathers.
how 'bout instead of saying 'it can't be done', the ideas are allowed to be discussed - its not as if there is anything else constructive we can do with a troll back in the pipeline.
@ OP
add-ons are a fantastic idea.
pob manufactured shield buffs, powerplant buffs, weapon damage buffs, weapon range buffs, speed buffs, cargo hold buffs, thruster buffs, equipment mount buffs - the list goes on, and they are all possible, as these are the stats that the hackers tweak to get their thrills.
not sure if this list is possible:
faction related price shifts (i.e. if green with corsairs, arties are REALLY cheap, and food sells at a better price).
short-lived admin level sheilds, one minute duration with a five minute cool down - useful for bombers jousting caps
longer lived not-quite admin shields for traders, 5 minute duration with 15 minute cooldown, to help run away from pirates
aim-bot: one minute duration 1 hour cooldown. you are the god of pew, but have no sheild or gun regen until aimbot shuts down
