There are several structures causing nuisance at ECC HQ.
- JVI Faction Office
Why is the JVI structure that has floating blocks inside the main building allowed? It runs amok every season embedding itself at random into other ships and dislodging itself from its original placement (see screenshot)?
It violates two server rules, floating blocks and structure inside the main building.
Also I canāt imagine the taxes this player structure incurs as well. Is it being tax dodged for it to sit there all season? Is there some special arrangement a large faction gets to park a structure there untaxed? Iāve parked a 5x5 container box to store loot mission rewards that within a few days grew to over 100m daily tax before I removed it, this sits there all season, I canāt imagine the taxes this builds up.
- Astral Supergates
Why are the astral supergates planted at ECC HQ in the parking lots(this season) or inside main areas (last season)? Currently there is one out on the landing pad that makes life difficult should you park on/near it. Seems like ECC needs a dedicated portal floor for Astral Supergates that these can be place at. This could serve as a advertisement area when not linked, āGet astral and claim one of these gatesā sort of a VIP floor of ECC. There is also a big open area between the OCD top area of HQ and main building where a good number of these astral gates can be put now that wonāt interfere with ships.
everyone is allowed to sell a ship on the garage for as much as they would like and leave it at ECC tax-free. there is however a 7-Day decay timer so it has to be respawned every week. structure aesthetics are not a concern of the admins. it is only an issue if the structure blocks entry.
as for the floating blocks, thatās only really a rule for PVP. cannot be used to punish PvE players anymore.
player structures that are not interfering with gameplay of others are not a problem and need no admin attention at all.
astral gates on the other hand are a CV that gets spawned as soon as there is an astral member. CVs have a tendency to bounce around everywhere when rendering. Iām honestly not sure what could stop that from happening other than making it a dedicated BA structure rather than a CV.
The JVI structure is not located on the sell pad, so what is happening is JVI is abusing the ship sell feature to scatter disconnected blocks around the HQ and deploy a faction recruitment ship away from ship sell pads and avoid taxes all together?
The floating block is not a PVP rule, its listed as a general rule and Dr Dark just specified a few days ago the rule still applies to PVE if the ship is causing issues which the faction office does, it bounces around embedding its detached blocks into nearby ships blocking elevators and makes the HQ seem like a trash pile with random blocks floating around it.
These structures are interfering with with gameplay of others as reported and why this post was made.
As I suggested, the HQ blueprint can be setup with preset Astral SG portals awaiting assignment like the black manor meta planet stargate is preset in the blueprint or the CV portals themselvescan be set in places ships donāt go like the space between the roof and OCD pads.
On a personal note:
Iāve told you Iāve blocked you but yet, here you are, continually poking your nose into everything I post, go back under your bridge.
You have HWS experience which I respected for the longest time but watching you wield it over and over with a toxicity towards everyone is why Iāve blocked you and found my HWS experience for the better of it.
At this moment i unaware of any floating blocks / blocks inside ECC Building, I will today go to ecc to check this out, And if so I will request JVI to fix their building to be within the server rules.
Regarding the Astral supergates, I understand your point and personally i like your idea about an Astral supergates floor, I will bring this up in our next meeting
Also as firebeard kinda said, if you have an issue with a faction/Person try to contact them first and talk with them, If you cant work it out you could still bring it up on the forums/Discord.
Iām not poking my nose anywhere. youāre posting this in public. just because you block someone doesnāt mean theyāve blocked you. welcome to a āpublicā forum. like it or not, you are asking for my help when you post things publicly
I was not being toxic in this post at all. I was simply explaining to you the longstanding rules that have been around longer than you have been here. but continue believing your own narratives.
Please do not respond via mail, itās not listed here @globeadue

āIt frequently dislodges itself and such from the last 4 seasons Iāve been playing and imagine itās been doing long before that. Weird you have never heard of it as itās like a drinking game if itās in place or not. Iāve csw and found it askew when visiting EU as well. Itās one of the two hazards around HQ that can trap/pin/disable a ship, the supergate being the other.
Our faction has had an influx of new players and number players in the last few days, explaining how to escape their grasp a couple times a day to new players is annoying.ā
good thing thatās not against any rules otherwise there would be very little population here
either way, this āconversationā has done nothing but waste time. it could have easily been a private message to the person who owns the ship instead of involving the entire HWS community
completely wrong - your efforts here @Bob were the waste of time and you knew were unwelcome before you butted in.
Both the JVI structure as it is, goes constantly askew lodging itself into players ships and preventing ships from even functioning due to proximity. It breaks server rules and is easily considered a nuisance when it does. With it trying to blend into the ECC HQ it gives new players a bad experience to HWS features and an expectation that itās part of the HWS experience.
The same is true of the patreon supergate. I proposed better places to put them outside of ship parking areas as well as suggested better solutions to them like baking them into ECC itself or creating a dedicated area for them.
so far I have seen no rules broken. ānuisanceā ships are not against the rules. the ship was not blocking entry into any POIs. that is the rule. as far as floating blocks go, as long as they are adjacent to another block they are not floating.
however, public shaming is against the rules. all this drama was not needed. this is a support section for getting help, not a place to weaponize the rule book.
again, all of this could have been solved by contacting the person who owns the ship instead of involving the entire community. yes, you are involving me when you post things publicly. unwelcome or not, you are asking for community help by posting things here
