Who said they were, Assumption Man?

You make assumptions, then leap to conclusions & offer "advise" in a condescending tone.
Sheesh! I guess I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one whose been the recipient of your particular brand of rudeness.

...

Edit. The question has been posed to me as to whether this is a misunderstanding of mechanics... testing now to see if it is the "Edit Rank properties" capability (in SG settings) that determines who can edit storage permissions, as opposed to the "Modify (edit) Base" setting.

Edit 2: Further testing seems to indicate that it is the "Edit Rank" setting that determines ability to edit storage permissions. Please see tangent thread.

This is why the request for the ability to copy a base over to test has been on the base builder's wishlist (see my sig) for a looooonnnnggg time.

At the very least, they could give us a couple mil in prestige, so that it would be relatively effortless to throw up a medium sized base... But I'm thinking that won't happen until they actually have something base-related to test out, y'know, "Soon" (tm).

The only way this would be a bug is if the red star (who has all permissions) or other rank with edit capability is unable to change the bin permissions. Otherwise, it is WAI. Neither is it a flaw, it is set that way as a measure of security.

I would rather have it confirmed by others if they are unable to change storage permissions with a toon that has edit capability, before I add this as a bug.

This falls under "debating the worthiness of a suggestion"... I'm neutral on it. It certainly can't be any worse than some of the Character Names out there.

I think you're misunderstanding... perhaps I can clarify..

IO Salvage is seen as more valuable than Base Salvage used to be... Since it is more valuable to the individual, people are less willing to contribute to the base, less willing to use it for empowerments, etc... the points are still viable.


Are you sure this isn't something that is WAI? One needs to have edit permissions in order to change the permissions on the salvage bins. I see that as a security measure. If you are indeed having this issue with your "red star" leader, then it is definitely a bug.

The "storyline" argument against some of the beacons has been presented before. It's a question of form over function, really, and could be hashed out in another thread.

You've already listed your version of NPC's in the stickied thread... which I linked to in the list.
Will add this to clarify the point under Building Flaws

Note: any pathing issues in the prior posts should not be marked "solved" until the raid system is returned and we see what pathing looks like. It's possible that old issues will still remain just as they were described.

This was already on the list... second bug listed.

You'd be surprised how many folks don't know this. The request is to improve the function.... if possible.


Good points all... The cost progression is actually already mentioned as a summary point. Perhaps further detailed discussion could be taken to a new thread.

Wow.

Frankly, Zombie, you don't know me well enough to take that presumptive and insulting tone. You have obviously not really taken the time to examine this thread in it's entirety.

This thread, as established by the OP, is about whether one could/should try tweaking the Nvidia Control SETTINGS in order to improve their graphics.

Since I am not experiencing any performance issue symptoms (no lagging, crashing, blinky screens, etc.), but rather am seeing a select few ugly graphics, this seemed to be the thing to try.

I don't expect that everyone will be able to contribute, since not everyone is familiar with the Nvidia Control Settings, but my thanks to Bill Z Bubba, who was willing to take a crack at it.

BTW, None of our friends were on last night, so we're still working on figuring out if the base items are a global issue.

No go on the AF. Even after re-setting the Nvidia settings to "default".

Will work on getting a base screenie from another SGmate or two. I did mention it in the Base Forums, but haven't really gotten much response on it (their focus is elsewhere atm).

Sooooo.... you're not really here to contribute. Thanks for clarifying.

what further information?

This is a question of graphics SETTINGS, not a question of how the game is running.

I'm not going to be fiddling with anything else.

This is why I refurbished the Big Consolidated List... to make exactly this point.

The fact that I could take a 2 year old list, make minimal changes (adding as well as removing things), and it still expresses so many concerns that haven't been addressed... does indeed highlight the fact that we need to beat the drums.

Some of those issues could be resolved.... also on the Big Consolidated List:

What if there was a way to establish editing permission per room? Combined with the "pre-fab" room and SAVE a room ideas, you'd have a nifty way to introduce folks to the wonderful world of base building.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't fix this hideousness...
