For a negative effect I was figuring since our ships is in outer space wouldn't it be a bit realistic if at random points in time you ship would collide into space junk....? and it would affect the shields or hull depending on how much damage.

Or for a positive side if your ship managed to scan the junk before running through it you could spend 5 energy and pick it up and maby get something rare or just really cheap scraping parts

It would be interesting if they could find a way to do something along the lines of what i mentioned, and also have it modified so that it could be based on what level you were.
Maby if your ship was stationed on a planet then it wouldn't be affected negatively or positively.

Any additional ideas would be welcomed

yea, i agree with this, some things could get you Complex tech parts.

yeah, +1 from me too. most stuff wouldnt get through my shields, but id love to find derelict ships every once and a while. enough NPCs and players get disabled here to make that a definite possibility.

The idea of 'space junk' needs work, but I'm all for random events that are either beneficial or detrimental. Might be a nice addition.

maybe every 15 minutes events can happen if youre online at the time. players that are inactive or offline at the time the 15 minutes are up do not recieve any effect, be it positive or negative. plus it would be a nice way to possible get some extra energy cubes...

1+ DAN PLEASE IMPLEMENT THIS!

well, i think if your not guarding a planet it wouldnt really happen, i mean if there was i giant fleet war or something yea lol, but realistically, the ships sensors would pick it up and they would either A: blow it up or B: move outta the way. now if your guarding i could understand that b/c a random satalite could hit it when someone is away from their consol, or theyre looking for a ship sig, not a satalite. interesting concept tho

interesting how interesting i love it.... i love all the ideas
if only we could have something that would take in effect in the game.

lol if it was like a star trek game that i read about where you could actually fly around in space and have space battles, i could understand you crashing into debri (or in my case a moon ) but on a RP game like this, thast a lill much

dream squashier! lolz

That is going to do some major damage depending how big your ship is, would still do enormous amounts of damage to a "Noah's ark of a ship". But the asteroid contains deposits of exotic materials upon further examination of your science team.

Upon being struck: An asteroid/piece of junk has slipped through your scans and impacted your ship!" Then it shows the damage you've received.

Upon discovery (Outcome 1): Your scanners have picked up an asteroid/piece of junk on trajectory towards your ship! Your cannons destroy it before it can impact. You've salvaged *insert artifact/number of minerals*

Upon discovery (Outcome 2): Your scanners have picked up an asteroid/piece of junk on trajectory towards your ship! Your cannons destroy the object but pieces of it impact against your Hull. You've salvaged *insert artifact/number of minerals*

Asteroids are more common and would leave minerals most of the time, but very rarely they'd be carrying an artifact from a previous collision.

Space junk would carry more common artifacts but occasionally they would carry a moderate amount of high value minerals or a rare artifact.

if you think about how much npc's get disabled every day all that junk/scrap has to go somewhere. so the odds of running into a destroyed/remains of a ship could be possible and you might be able to attempt to salvage the remains of it for artifacts, information/research, or minerals/cargo. +1

+1 I just can't wait to tell my crew "oh lookie guys we just bumped into some Astronaut Crap pile but that's okie cos I found 5 tech parts in it... I wonder what they eat though"

WoW lolz. your somethin else lol

hey don't tell me you haven't thought about this outcome

besides I lil humor can brighten your day no..?

Humor is always welcome my way i embrace it
