Engine ShutDown

When im afk i usualy hover into some mobs of mantis and they usualy kill me which rly makes me mad >.>

and when im in a GREAT harv hunting place which is realy far from LZ and then i gotta go to the

*Little Pilots Room ;D* and id hover over to some mantis and id get podded and i dont want to goto orbit

and have to go all the way back >.>

So if there was a button that we press which stops the engines and lands the ship on

the ground (The ship wont move and stay there) there could even be a sign over it that says AFK who

likes the idea. (This idea is wolfbanes idea all credit goes to him)

I think that there should be a new skill just like a normal collecter but more better (And epic)

What collecter field does is make a wave over your ship and collects everything in its range this way u can

collect cry and E faster the better version u buy the longer the wave is who agrees on this idea?
AoE Collectors has been suggested b4, can't remeber how that went ^^

I would also say no to this idea, not that its bad or wrong, just that its not very practicable.

Think about it everyone using it to collect e the system would crash making judgements on who started the field first

then what if u could collect up to four nearby items at one time. That way system wouldnt be under as much strain would it?

still if there are many people in 1 e field it probably would still cause a bit of strain.

i agree, and that would be too much of a strain, remeber DarkBlare it's only a Java game.

plus i know how some people like to go to Aurora and kill lots and lots and LOTS of harvs and inters at once (which, granted, will probably make the guy crash before anything), but if the person has like dozens of cry drops at once and uses the collector field...

PLUS think of all the people using this device in the e fields at once (not just on the same planet or E field, but in other systems too), it will probably cause a LOT of strain and probably crash the server. The idea is good, but currently it would cause too much stress on the server and coding problems, plus it's not very practical anyway. Just my 2 cents ^^

I dont see the purpose of a engine shutdown personally unless they made PG so engines started to acually finally use fuel like they really would. Otherwise its a nice add-on but not needed.

you can just click an e ball and use it as an anchor and your ship won't go anywhere, so long as no one steals the e ball ^^

just find the nearest E field to where you're at and press the follow command when targeting an e ball and your ship will stay anchored too it, and you're more likely to not be a pod when you get back

Aye, cryo n BPs also work but I think you'll wana collect those and they also disappear after awhile.

the point is, we don't need either of these features lol. engine shutdown would be pointless but might actually be a nice feature. Still though i don't want to be flying along and accidentally press a button and my engines shut off ^^

But what if the nearest E field is at LZ >.> i would be better of going to orbit :p

A hover mode would be great. AoE collectors can be abused.
