I run a dedicated starbound server, and often times my friend and I are realizing we want to collaborate on the same ship. This is fine when we are both on, but if the person with the ship logs off, the other person no longer has access. It would be very cool if there was an option for server-side shared ships. It wouldn't be too terribly difficult to implement if I'm not mistaken. Thanks.
I was thinking that and I think it's a great idea. one of the things that was nice about Terraria was that you built your base that everyone pitched in. With star bound, your ship is your base and it feels like extra inventory slots.
Small problem, if you have multiple people on board and you log off with them on your ship they may steal stuff from your inventory and when you come back its going to be hard to deduce who took your stuff.
Unlessssss...a sort of locking mechanism were also added to chests that could be opened via a key/code/player whitelist etc. set by the individual who placed down the chests. This would allow the intended players to still have access, while keeping the unwanted out. Granted, implementing such a thing could be a bit more complicated.
If you leave your valuables on a ship filled with people you don't trust, then you deserve to get your stuff stolen in my opinnion, it's no different from leaving your RL house unlocked when you go to work/school.
