Re: Maps of all Systems- No Spoilers plz

Not @ Savage in particular....

I'd advise players to have 1 charachter as a scout / mapper.  I did, and within about 2 weeks I had 95% of the Void mapped, including Jumpholes and wrecks.  With your subsequent charachters you can refrence your mapper when needed.

Re: How do i become a pirate [x] ?

1) Kill Traders, or tax

2) Kill Navy, or run like hell.*

3) Kill other pirates, unless they're useful.


*If you ask a player "Are you Navy?"  and they blast you into next week, you just learned your first important Pirate lesson.  Shoot First.

Re: Bots/Bats Balance -- discussion

My two B & B exceptions:

If I'm fighting an equally skilled player that uses them first, or,

Lvl 42 or higher missions where I'm sloppy. The Nomies don't scream 'regener' at me, and tractoring in all that Lag Fodder sure helps. Sorry Kosmiker, I even let myself down on occasion. If I was Catholic ...

Re: These are the True Dog Fights

I'm a History Channel junkie & seen these before.

The cool thing to note was in both videos you see, the American pilots initiate combat knowing that they are heavily outnumbered. The Saber pilot (first vid) purposley sought out the formation leader, who is most experienced, to attack first. After ...

Re: begging money

Every player should start in Sparta with 100 million credits, with their choice of an Annubis, TC or Robots HF. All lvl 10 equipment (including Codename guns), enhancers and such availible right there at Abandoned City. All map info provided at start-up. Green with every faction, including Nomads ...

Re: seattle

Go to The Museum Of Flight. Planes from all eras (new space exhibit too). The planes are presented in historical context with compelling stories. Just damn beautiful.

Get the little greaseball dougnuts at Pike's Place market.

Dittos on The EMP. Great Northwest perspective on Rock & pop. Rent the ...

Re: New mod

An occasional player wipe can be a good thing. It would force the packrats with ships full of equipment in NY and Alex to comply with the 100 Item rule (lol). Make the noobs in your clans go explore and find equipment on their own instead of handing it to them. Also, unless you're a missle spammer ...

Re: Some attitudes stink

Yep. A lot of bad sports out there. It bugs me a bit too hearing them whine when I'm killing in my Rouge charachter. Last night a new player thanked me for attacking a Rouge that was attacking him. I had to break the bad news to him that next time we meet, I'd be shooting at him. He understoood and ...

Re: Alexandria, Should it be so???

I pop lazy, sloppy, inattentive traders regularly as they crawl-up to the docking rings in the NB, NT and NL systems. I almost always warn them via system chat. They die, then they whine.
Opening up Alex won't change the above.
If you're too cheap to hire an escort, you'll probably die. It's the ...

Sorry, I meant no offense. I just take my history a bit too seriously. I know it's just a video.

I deeply respect all that gave selflessly of themselves so that others may be free. I just get frustrated when one group is over-represented to the exclusion of others. The war did not begin or end on ...
