ED found solution to New Carrier Module for MP

it's the internet, so ... no

If there was something to apologize for, then yes. But seeing that it was this fervor of a response that served as the cattle prod necessary to get ED to fix an obvious issue. The community used its voice to vehemently push for a result that would prevent the fragmenting of an already small group. Had they not raised their voice, ED would have more than likely gone with Plan A, most of which people here seem to be thankful that they aren't. A simple "thanks "might be in order but I don't see why an apology is at all required.

Edit: Nospin44 beat me to it

Thanks for keeping an open mind :)

A community that plays together, stays together.

Hopefully everyone who was bashing ED about the initial annoucement will apologize.

Not really bashing, I was quite happy to support the module, But excluding others from MP servers that cant afford or not interested is un-fair, And i certainly wouldnt give ED money for that to happen, So no apologies here.

My solution is non owners got booted from the game when trying to land on the carrier and taken to the E-shop, but it never gained traction :)

HAHAHA I like it

I believe he is talking about those that took it over the edge, the only ones that deserve any thanks are those that remained calm, constructive and mature.

Indeed this. Thanks.

I was hesitant about buying the new carrier before this decision was made. I wanted it, but was going to talk with my wallet to try and drive what I consider the right decision.

Now that this decision has been made, I'm getting it on day one. I hope that everyone who had similar thoughts and concerns will be buying the module for two reasons:

1) more owners can use it in SP testing and MP mission editing, so we will see it in most servers - more immersion, more fun.

2) success of this module will entice more similar decisions when it comes to producing desirable content that must be marketable while still maintaining a healthy multiplayer environment.

I bet most think the solution means they'll be able to use it in some way, too. There may be a shock if it turns out the solution just greys it out for them, like planes do.

Glad to see ED figured something out, or at least has a plan for it.

to me it does not matter how they will solve it, the only important thing is that everybody can join the server and if we need two carriers sailing alongside each other, than that is perfectly fine to me.

Thank you ED for listening to the community

Kudos to the development team for supporting the community and ensuring that the multiplayer environment doesn’t get more fractured.

Much respect for not digging in your heels over this issue.

This module will now be a day 1 purchase for me.

People that had a voice about this are the ones you can thank for the change even happening. You keep waiting for that apology though.

 

Thank you ED for listening to the community.

There's having a voice, and then there's shouting into a megaphone. The last thread on this subject had people getting so upset they had to be banned because they couldn't post without typing something inappropriate.

That kind of juvenile nonsense is what makes people turned off towards the community. IMO even more so then ED's initial server management choice on the subject. But whatever; everyone should be happy now, and you have the developers to thank for both listening to the community's concern...and for deciding to update the carriers in the first place. :) Not going to give anyone on that last thread or on hoggit a penny of credit for anything.

Good ol’ community-based agitation! That’s how many good things—and a few bad ones—become real!

Thanks, to those who stirred the pot!

OMG lets all have a nice big Group HUG!!!

LOL...

It still makes no difference to me if I get it or not..

I get whatever I want.. and I'll more than likely be standing in the Que with a large number of the community.

Until than I'll just have to be happy with the Static Crew and Deck equipment.. LOL but who knows the Carrier might be released before I get home.. I've away working since FEB... and still have a few more months to go..

excellent

if the main public servers include this, im in

Well now I feel obligated to buy more modules. ;)

In all seriousness ED, thanks for listening, it goes a long way.

There was no release date so there is no delay.

As we all know, it will be released in Two Weeks™ by the power of Soon™ anyway.

Just let the Air Boss do some advertising with some Top Gun quotes

But I somehow like that general idea

As I was late to the show, here's the idea I had and PM'd to NineLine, since noone else proposed it like this (although some were close):

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to the module, no matter how this will be solved eventually as I'm gonna buy it anyway. I'm just glad that others won't have a reason not to buy it because of some exclusion issues we were afraid of, so everyone will be able to enjoy it regardless of whether their buddies have it or not

OK, you asked for it, can't resist...

The perfect solution for me would be that if I own the carrier module, every carrier I see is replaced by the DLC one. It can stay the old stennis for everyone who did not buy it.

That way there would be no need to change existing mission and I vould always land on the nicely crowded carrier.

I dont believe this will really happen, but one shall be allowed to dream

That would simply not work.

Imagine in multiplayer. You request landing and the game has to work out whether to give priority to you, on the new carrier, or another player, who can only see the old one.

I'd expect it to be MUCH easier for the new carrier to exist as a new unit, and have it simply deny landing rights, or start rights to player who don't own it.

I like the new plan. Happy with the Stennis and now I don't have to buy the new carrier, save some $$$.

In my view...it's a simple solution:

Owners can do all at carrier DLC...Non owners if approach less than 1NM and below 500FT of the carrier DLC, they get a popup message to buy it or in 5 seconds will be kicked from the server if don't leave the area.

Simple solution in my perspective. :)

Not sure if the default "kicking" people is a viable option in a PvP server. They need to be able to defend the ship. It is also a strong handed way to force people to buying a product they may not want (i.e. no interest in Naval Aviation). And I'm sure the carrier would appreciate those with Eagles providing air cover without the enemy entrapping them in a boot from the server.

I prefer sinking carrier rather then players rolling over deck team, cause they don't see them. This will kill the mood for me for sure. So, no "free" players around the deck. Already thinking about script.

This time community messed up, blinded by "paywall", et cetĕra...
