Take a look at your previous screenshots. The situation is exactly the same.
As for not being able to dock -- well, this change is mostly cosmetic if you think about it. But yeah, rocket-related gameplay is probably a bit harder now.
Toe you could add some additional use of laboratories. They could for example make software, as there are no other way a player could create it. It would also make rockets more useful. And i saw that rockets are too easily shot down. You could implement some specially armoured rocket that require more effort to beeing shot down for a pvp use. And ill join the choirs that:
1. Wants to lower further the cost of wharf to 25sat per 1 hullpoint.
2. Wants to end that weird talk about a bug that most of us doesnt understand and doesnt see a point in fixing it.
The labs are absolutely going to be used for compiling software. Something came up and it wasn't implemented, but this feature was supposed to be here around 2 updates ago already. I'll make sure you'll still get the idea medal, as you've guessed correctly :)
If we lower the wharf repair costs any further, there will be no point in Repair Ray anymore. To push this, we would have to re-balance pretty much everything else. Which might at one point happen, because, well, a fully-functional wharf is worth it, but that's too much of a change for now.
As for the bug talk, believe me, I'm tired myself :) There is still an off-chance that the bug is real, so I
have to pursue this further.
Uuuuuhhm...seems to have edited out the part about increasing CPU points so I'll shoot it up in the air and see where it lands.
Could you guys perhaps add a way to increase the number of CPU points a player has? I know it would (and should) cost an arm and a leg, but it would be worth it. I have an idea or two on how to go about this that I will gladly PM to you toecutter if this is something the devs/owber(s) would consider.
Let me know :)
There is absolutely no harm in sending in ideas, even if they appear too radical or unlikely. We have actually implemented some very off ideas in the past, and are always open to discussions. Bring 'em on!
Also, FYI, "Give players more CPU points", is the #1 ticket in the bug database, and is always on our mind, but there hasn't been any developments or any bright ideas on how to go about this, so it stays unresolved.
