Making life easire(no its not lg commercial)

well we have 50 3d systems that usually have 40-46planets wel these planets are mostly unused but they can be templates for clan base.Of course 2 bases cant be located in same system but it would make it easier and there on planet u can customize from weapons to ships u sell.Think of possibilities xD

:D oh I believe they have!  Im still waiting to see if the boss can figure out a way to put trade lanes in... There is more than enough room for everybody lol.  I think there is more to be done with all of this in the future.  We wait with anticipation..

Clan bases in the 3d systems? :-?
Well if it was after me i think it would be best to remove all these 50 3d systems as soon as possible.    
The sheer size of them makes it impossible for players to interact.RP is out of discussion.PVP?Let's be serious!Trading?If you like it nice and quiet sure why not but isn't this a multiplayer server? Exploring?I'm sure explorers will find a lot of round and colored planets with some nice nebulas to fly through but without any tradelanes available one will soon get very bored when exploring or loose his mind in the progress lol.    
At least if they were normal (non 3d) systems...
I did give one of those system a shot at exploring some time ago and this is what happened...
I was exploring and found myself some nice round planets and colorefull nebulas but it diidn't make a great impression on me in finding all that stuff (i did not check the equipment and commodities because i'm not a very patient type lol)
I did some good exploring but as i exited a planet to look for another nearby destination i saw an Unknown Planet located more than 300 k away from me.The only thing left for me to do was to Press Alt+F4+Enter (also known as Exit Game)
From that moment on i told myself that i would never "set foot" in one of those system and i kept my word.
The idea of it was pretty good...let players "loose themselves" in this great vastness of space and allow them to explore till they vomit.
But the word has spred fast about the content of these systems wich lead to a massive loose of interest in them.
I'm sorry to say this but all the good work put into creating these systems did not have the expected effect on players with many finding them pretty useless.(including me)

:-? To fix the lack of use of 3D systems  one thing that needs to be addressed is the lack of ordinance re supply available at a lot of these locations.   The systems are vast so even a limited tradelane network would help bring in the "customers" -  Hel 1 or Unkown 3 for pvp would be perfectly plausible if the above things were instigated.  

Trouble is that it can be a long way to travel to get places if you put your clan base in a remote system and you want a system with plenty of exits so its not easy to blockade... Just a thought.

Aside from my personal opinion about the 3D systems, I think having pvp's in them will proof a real challenge. People with an average computer - like myself - will have noticed: these systems take more GPU/CPU capacity than the regular 2D systems. That's just when exploring on your own. Now add 20 other players doing the pvp thing and it will be obvious that not everybody's computer will be able to cope with that. Systems like the EFZ and Nomad1 have been simplified because of the many pvp battles there, and the resulting lag. (please do correct me if I'm wrong) All the (beautiful) graphical features in the 3D systems are the opposite of said pvp systems.

3d systems would be very popular if trade lanes added ... i agree with zebulon and PapaJoe
