Private Discord Build Files Back

Right now, in order to register your builds for theft protection, you have to post them on this website's forum. There's an obvious issue with this, in that... the build is on display. For everyone to see. Where they can just... take it. Rather counterintuitive, if you ask me.

After asking around (please correct me if I'm wrong), it looks like there is no way to privately submit pictures of your builds so that only you and staff can see it, which is a big problem. To solve this, I have a rather simple solution.

Have a new "ticket" type that anyone can open only one of (exceptions for special cases, of course) that is only there for people to dump pictures of their builds in. That way, only you and staff can see your builds, keeping them secure and registered at the same time. That way, if there is a dispute, it's much easier for staff to look through your pictures on discord and look up key words and members than on some website. This also (I think) lightens the workload on staff because it's all put on a discord channel that staff don't even have to look at unless there are problems with other players.

I believe this is a much better way of registering builds because it keeps your own designs private while at the same time securing them against theft and making it easier for staff to check builds for theft/authenticity.

No one steals builds from the image. They go to your town/plot/mid fight to schematica it and as long as they change few blocks here and there its legal

Ships counts as builds. Theft of design isnt just limited to movecraft

Lordsrubka, people do steal builds from the image as both Illyt and I very recently had to open a ticket due to someone stealing BOTH of our designs block for block. I made this suggestion for an extra layer of safety.

Support and related tickets take an awful lot time to get processed, addition of this feature just means more pressure and stress on Staff Members, this process seems more time consuming

A better, however different solution is to move the Ship Design Registry thread to a discord forum, so it's more easier to search rather than going through tens of pages. This doesn't prevent players from stealing it, one way or could be done is making a channel and allowing users to make private thread, where they can add members to it on their own, and can be easily accessed by staff members, If you know discord well you might understand what I just said.

Thats fine contt, but the permissions should be you are only able to see your own apart from the admins who would be able to see all.

And of course, if push came to shove the admins could easily peak.

Contt, I meant that this wouldn't be an actual ticket, it'd just be the same kind of channel creation that only you and admins can access.

I believe they should just make it as it was than force me to register literally every single design Ive made from 2021 to 2024 and not if i dont register its public its an unecessary nuissance for me to go register everything when I could just report actual design theft based on cases, just dont steal movecraft designs bro
