So, I was wondering, why can’t we pilot while sitting down? I mean, we -all- know Han and Chewie and Lando, and Luke, and everyone -sat- while piloting their ships. Why can’t we? Is there’ some sort of code thing that keeps you from shoving/killing/grabbing/etc people while their sitting? I don’t think so, but then I’ve never tried it.
So is it possible we could get such support? I’m sure there are a couple of RPers who would like to be able to sit and RP stuff in a cockpit, and it wouldn’t change the normal way piloting works in any way or sort. So the lazy people wouldn’t complain.
Honestly, there isn’t much -sitting- in the MUD to begin with, if you think about it. Everyone just stands, or emotes sitting. Maybe get some more sit-support?

Unless I’m very much mistaken (which happens far more often than I’d like to admit) you [i:3f58wjzx]can[/i:3f58wjzx] pilot a ship while sitting, the only thing that you can’t do is toggle the autopilot. Granted I’m not sure how the weapons systems/tractorbeams/etc. work while sitting, I’m only talking about the "basics" like landing/taking off/entering hyperspace.
The thing that bothers me the most about the sit command is that you can’t research. …Who goes to their local library and stands there reading??

Very good point. Why -can’t- you research while sitting? I still stand by the fact that we need some more Sit support.

Another problem I noticed is that you recover less HP/MV when resting or sleeping compared with standing.

It used to be the other way around. That change is likely the result of increased HP/MV in players–and the necessary increase in HP/MV regen rates. The said rates while sleeping/resting/etc. were likely left forgotten and unchanged in the changes.

It’s just as simple as variables in emotes for objects and other players. RPI style. Go try out Shadows of Isildur’s system.

It would be impossible to do space code in an rpi system though.. maybe try to hack SWMud and steal their code <!– s:P –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="
