This is not an area to debate the pros and cons of proposed features. It is an area for people to suggest new features for either TW or TWGS. I will either add the proposed feature to my planned features list, or explain my reasons for passing on the feature at this time. Features added to the list can be voted on so I can gauge people's interest.

Unread post Put Abort Displays on sysop toggle
I've asked for this before when I was on the wrong side of the scripts. Now that I'm beginning to use scripts, I'm even more convinced that I want this toggle for my newbie/returning player games.

Unless you are skilled at advanced script play, aborting displays does not even occur to you. The first time I ran a script with displays aborted, the game suddenly felt foreign, unrecognizable.

Again, just a toggle to remove this option from the player computer settings menu.

...and I would like to request the option to also make these displays abort automtically in addition to Crucher's option.

I too would like to request that they stay as they are ... so we have a draw :)

They have what they should and always have had ...

The problem is Cruncher just figured out how it works now.

Leave them as they have always been!

We never had abort displaying in MBBS HVS. Read the link Comet found, those players are reminiscing about playing back in the dial-up bbs days.

How about a 'dial-up' toggle, that limits play to one
port and keeps the ping at 4000? Maybe put in some
delays as well...

Actually won't the free version of TWGS V2 do just that, limiting the game to 1 node? Would be just like the BBS days where you're in the game alone, and pray nobody finds you for the next 23 hours and 30 minutes.
