Structure ID(s) (Open ingame console and type di)?
=> Anywhere near my base: UCH Repair Station-Lecko (ID#3019229)
How can we help you now?
=> Please create a supergate (at your earlies convenience)
Linked to: ECC and (eventually) my other gates
Note: Bob Says I have permission to link to pubgate and 602. I would like all my gates linked to those if possible.
Not Restricted: Open to public
Dr. D, It looks like We can go from the Lecko Gates to 602, but not back from 602 to Lecko gates. I didn’t check the pubgate. Any chance you can link all of them? Bob tried as well and he can’t see the links. Thanks in advance for your services.
I can do it, but then it gets complicated since they’re not related by name. The only way I can really improve this, is if all the supergates share a common prefix. Otherwise, I can’t keep track of it long-term.
Even if I fixed it now, next time one of you requests a new supergate, you’ll have problems again. That is, unless all the supergates get a common prefix.
Appreciate anything you can do.. In real life one of my jobs is data architecture. Between Bob and I we can prob figure something out for next time (aka next season). if we do it again.
honestly if you just make it blanket policy that every public gate have PUB in the beginning, that would solve the issue across the board for everyone.
Agreed… If a player decides to make a public gate - they automatically get that naming convention Pub + System (and maybe + sector) + Donor (Could be anonymous)+personal convention… So Pub-System-Sector-Bob-Near Polaris
Any variation of the above should work fine. And if you are having trouble accounting for who purchased what gate - which is what was mentioned on a previous post - then make the donor part mandatory.
That way, we would force people into a single big network, which maybe not everyone wants.
One day we can maybe come up with a better system, but for now I don’t necessarily think that’s the best solution.
But this season, do you guys want me to add a Pub prefix to all your supergates and link them? @Bob and @Lecko
i am 100% okay with changing anything so that they can link easier.
note: the suggestion of the PUB suffix doesn’t require that they all get linked, correct? wouldn’t gate owners stil have to request linkage to other gates?
Correct, In previous [different] posts Dr. D had mentioned to me that the tracking (accounting) of who owned which gate and who (and where) they connected with was problematic.
Thanks for the good conversation about this. Some ideas here that can be mulled over later.
