This is topic is open for discussion, and my view is that a feature to allow the CEO to change the entire corps SS channel would be nothing but a bot feature. Scripts can easily be made to do this if everyone wants thier SS changed by the CEO. The other players on the corp may not want to be on the same SS channel because of the constant bot chatter. There are times when more than one sub space channel is required on the same corp, such as seperate cashing teams running seperate team cashing scripts. You can't run two team cashing scripts on the same SS channel.
If something like this is done, I suggest that a secure corp channel be assigned when the corp is made and that channel can be toggled ON/OFF in the CN settings. Then you can call it the SCC (Secure Corporate Channel)

It was my understanding that the CEO setting a SS channel was never requested. But the ability if you are on Corp 1, you would have a game set SS Channel of 1 and no others could select that SS channel unless you are part of that corp. It is possible other conversations took place but this was the only thing I had ever heard mentioned.

John has said that Crawling is part of the game and to "deal with it" as he wont be changing it.
This conversation was already had.

You didn't see it because Helix had someone delete his threads on the subject. I do have the 1st post in the original thread here



BTW, I don't understand how he can get a thread deleted that had other peoples posts in it including mine.

He didn't get anything deleted. I removed the thread because all it had beside your response was "This is smack derailed" or something to that effect. I'm attempting to keep this topic area as clean as possible so John and others that do testing and send him our results don't have to read unrelated comments. And I'm tired of moving posts to Smack. In this section, I'll just remove the unrelated posts and/or thread if it gets derailed.

That's fine, I have his original post, so not all was lost.

My only question: is this discussion actually Beta related? The reason I ask is because I recall reading from another post that John was *not* considering this. Therefore, why flood the Beta section with issues that will not be considered?

I didn't flood anything. I replied to Helx's thread and he deleted all his posts and change the name of the thread. Now it looks like I'm the one that started it. Read the 1st quote in this thread and you will see who requested this beta change.

My question remains to be unanswered.

Is this discussion actually Beta related? The reason I ask is because I recall reading from another post that John was *not* considering this. Is John considering this, or is this something to invite discussion from others to get their views?

Here's the deal. If Helix's request might be considered as a change to the beta, then I want my views known. If it's definitely not going to be considered, then this discussion is mute. Can you tell me that his request will not be considered as a beta change?

Let's hope this thread will stay on topic this time, because the last one deleted was called "Derailed argument thread" which was over the same thing.

That's because he went in and changed all his posts and the title of the thread that HE started. My posts were on topic and still are. He proposed a change and I stated why it wouldn't be a good change. So back to the topic. I don't want my ss channel assigned to me by a CEO, so I vote no.

I for one would like to see a corp only SS , this way SS crawlers don't disrupt upcoming tourneys.

We at TK have things under control , but IF they would just let me do MY
thing .. forget ethics .. I have a very good use for crawlers that just might
help to kill any further tourneys and tradewars .. now if they would just let
me do my thing.

Or if the CSS (corp SS) were to be made/done , all this would be moot.
I am just surprised that Helix wants the CSS now that he has used it in last
tourney and knows what others can do with it too.
Maybe that IS the reason he wants the change too. Its deadly , it will
ruin tradewars forever now that the cats out of the bag.

Anyways .. I vote yes to the CSS ... any others ?

You see, that's the thing. That's not what Helix posted that he wanted. He doesn't want a secure corp SS, he wants the ability to control which SS his corpies will use and change it whenever he wants.
Sure, I'll vote yes to a private SS channel assigned to a corp when the corp is made.

Maybe JP would consider it as an option when game is set in Tournament Mode? That way in normal games anything goes but in a Tournie you have the ability to have a "Secure SS".

Options.... we need options
