Is it possible to turn off the engines?

[Linkus]

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:

[Bobthemanofsteel]

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.

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?

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....

[Szerano]

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!

[Irra]

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.

this is cool signature

[jxie93]

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?
