    With all the NPC towns in the game on islands why not allow them to act as freeports for buying crew or cosmetic stuff. Also though it may be lag inducing it would be nice if there were actual NPCs in the towns instead of sounds only.

    Okay so the first point is that the Pipe will not snap to the grill, but the grill will snap to the pipe.  So what I did was place a reservoir in my house and snapped pipes to it so that one of the joints was lined up so that when my grilled snapped to it, it was right where I wanted it to be.  Then I continued to pipe outside my house to where I wanted to place my actual reservoirs, after I had piped it into two reservoirs outside my house I demo'd the reservoir and spare piping in the house leaving my grill attached to the piping and reservoirs outside.

    Next time it rained I slowly watched the water count go up in my grill till it maxed out at 300.

    You sir are a god damned life saver 🙂

    Note for those that try this it won't snap next to walls that already exist...least it didn't for me. I have to take them out then do what he said and it worked.

    That's a monster pain in the ass. I have fresh water where I am but will need to run 10 miles of water pipe just to make this happen..... So no one has gotten this to work with just reservoirs?

    Edited to add, don't care about the clean piping only getting the grill to work with reservoirs and not the intake pipe BS.

    To be honest, from looking the first teasers for this game, I was convinced a town (or making one) was actually going to happen. 

    That is exactly what we wanted to do, create a town have other people like allies be a part of it and have player shops that would give others reasons to visit. Now that PVP get's the claim flags and non freeport player shops not sure about doing that. I don't want to play PVP because of the by any means necessary buildings and ship construction. Would much rather have a town that looked like a town.

    Instead of adding NPC shops in Freeport why not add Seller NPCs as a placeable item in Player towns and ports. This would give reasons for people to build towns and for others to visit them. You can still have a global system to see what is available for sale and maybe even have a system to generate a quest for people that want to be transport captains to pick up and deliver cargo after you buy it in the global system. It would give meaning to player towns and avoid the horror that is Freeport lag and ship decay.

    I know the shops are coming, and I do not think this app would suffer because of it. The shops is a good start, and I am glad the devs are adding it. I only have one problem with shops in general in most games. It's a mess. In ATLAS there are several free ports, and by the sounds, the shops will be in free ports. Free ports currently are too laggy, and I avoid them like the plague, imagine what 150+ player shops will do to those region performances. But let's give the devs the upper hand here, lets say they fix the lag and things just work. You still need to travel to one of several trading hubs, with no idea if what you want is there. Even if you put up shop, it might be weeks before anything is sold, simply because your shop gets lost in the clutter.

    I have played many MMO's in my life, the best markets to sell stuff is WoW and Eve style global markets, anything else is a mess and quite inefficient. I truly hope our devs will add a global marketplace. Until then, this app is as close as we can get, and I suspect players who enjoy a global market will support it.

    I think the devs are missing a grand opportunity. The NPC shops shouldn't be in freeports but in player towns. This would give people a reason to not only build but visit other players ports/towns. Also it might give rise to players that want to be transport captains. You might have a global list of what is for sale and where/who has it then you buy it and go to that port to pick it up. Maybe even set a quest for another player to transport it to you. Also you could go to the port yourself and buy it directly. In my view that is what this game needs.

    So I logged in this morning in F12 Lawless where I logged and everything was fine. Get Kicked by Battle Eye. Check the forums to find out WTF is going on and the work around was to join a new Atlas(the same Atlas) in a freeport near where you are and it puts you back in game where you got dropped. That worked 1 time. Got kicked again by battle eye. Tried it again and now my character is a level 1 in freeport with nothing. What in the ever loving fuck are you people doing. I went from level 47 to level 1 and lost it all.

    Fix your Bullshit.

     

    The level 1 thing was my fault. Not enough Coffee. The getting Kicked every few minutes by Battle Eye is not and having to constantly use the work around to get in is real. WTF
