I feel like a lot of the techs can be merged for the same price, because holy shit we have too much techs and most of them are never used

If I get my way with the coming rework of CO, CL and their staff will be in charge of research and everyone else will be able to just buy stuff from CL.

I like doing it myself and not being dependent on another department that may or may not be responsive or even exist for items I need for whatever mad science plans I feel like trying out that day

The idea is you can solicit a science ship for their technology, whether you pay for a server link or just buy what you wanted. It's like how on a station you have to go to the science department to get them to make you stuff, except the departments are space ships.

That's all well and good but the problem is that buying tech you need is often not enough. You can't just use someone else's server to print RIP ammo for hunting chimeras and there are no prints for ammo you can buy either

Blueprints kind of have to get redone yeah, otherwise server links are an option.

You can only do them on the same grid.

You can only do them on the same grid.
well that kind of just sucks.

well that kind of just sucks.
No, it really doesn't. If this didn't work like that everyone would just connect to a faction server and never bothered with research ever again

if you link a server to a lathe, then move the lathe to a new grid, it stays linked

Really?

yeah

Okay. I am connecting to TSF server every round from now on.
marble sonnet
you can infact just pirate the TSF's tech

This is so hillariously abusable than if we all did it for a day it's gonna get patched out tommorow.
marble sonnet
well, much like software piracy, you dont actually steal anything in this exchange

I used to steal research points with the disk terminal but now I see that it was far too crude.
marble sonnet
unless you set up a disk printer but at that point its just greifing
hard gulch
How is it griefing? Stealing isn't even considered port striking.
Besides, if they have 3000000000 points without being used they clearly don't need them.
marble sonnet
griefing in the sense that its an asshole move when you could literally just connect your lathes to the server anyways
in tge same way that it would be equally awfull to somehow connect to thier silo and rob all thier mats

I mean you can just get new ones, in like 10 minutes.
It's just not worth stealing mats
marble sonnet
legally acceptable within the rules? yes. are you an asshat for doing it? also yes
hard gulch
Oh my fucking god, it actually does work. OMG that is so hilariously stupid! The fab doesn't even see the server anymore but it does stay linked.
The only way to break the link is to nuke the server. Will unironically link fab to TSF every single round
Fire extinguisher stealth op is a go
I even know where do I get a military fab for their suits.
I swear, every day I ascend to higher and higher levels of powergaming, man.
mortal bear
you can get military fab outside of faction ?
