So how hard would it be to fix the offline cap-ship mining problem, that I gather was the actual reason behind the change, then undo the rest of the change?

then undo the rest of the change?

That isn't how it worked. We re-wrote how the entire thing was implemented.

Anyway, I've already commented on this. I know it's of interest to people.

Just a note that, as of last-week, we removed the remote command-reset on docking.

These updates related to this topic have resulted in many EPIC capship battles already.. Thank you Incarnate, we have all enjoyed using our new controls to try our capships in combat like never before. In the first week I can count at least 13 player capships destroyed in mutual combat including my own... and it was DAMN FUN. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us on this particular feature :)
