Now the last time I checked, this IS an RP server. So why does it matter what a player makes his ship.

Because much like IDs, ships have roles to fill. Role. Play. You are playing a role. Therefore, on an RP server it's even more important that ships and factions play their role properly.

Why wouldn't colony ship be allowed to dock on core house planets?

It's not to prevent them docking on planets. It's a deterrent to stop people flying them in House space and causing issues with Battleship guns. If not for those, I'm sure the restriction would be lifted.

Whose brilliant idea was to make Nomad remains essential for building human bases????Whose?

It's actually a cool concept when it works. You get to do a lot of roleplay, build diplomacy, and create activity with farming. Unfortunately, it's plagued by a myriad of issues. I've suggested a solution here.

Lythrilux please do not insult my intelligents. In RL I am a Aerospace Engineer. I know it takes more then seconds to terraform a planet in either RL or on a make believe server. IT TAKES HOURS!!! But!!!! You speak of taking five more years on the sever. Really!!! You honestly think the server will survive 5 more years. When people that have been here already years speak about the server traffic is on a decline. Maybe they should think about the time table modification. This is the future.

You can look at the wiki and look at the lore for Cali Minor, and it will tell you exactly how long the terraforming is taking for it.

I don't know if the servers will or won't survive five years. In my opinion, there's a small handful of really easy steps we could take to ensuring the server can beat the five year mark easily and get it's players back (more or less address all the concerns in this thread). That aside, if we suddenly make Planets become terraform-able within a much smaller period of time than what has been established in lore, we're going to open the floodgates and end up with everyone and their mother grabbing (or trying to) grab planets. I think your idea is good in essence, it just needs to be tweaked in a way that keeps it sensible, potentially.
