Freelancer - The Void

This was a special 'clan' that messaged only other Nomads, on system chat they'd post nonsense as 'aliens' the 'humans' weren't supposed to understand them.

Hey I think thats soo cool..... =D>

Frobozz was ( or maybe still is ) an admin on the Lansdale Galactica servers.
I spent a short while there and met some great players.

I also met Quinn.

My point is that Frobozz is describing a cool way to RP.

Mix it up Voidians..
Try some of these ideas..

Scream On !

Frac

Still am, but we lost our mod server and now only host the stock one. I don't play stock anymore. Also, FYI for Voidians I don't fly with my Frobozz handle it's only for forum and admin use, in case anyone wondered why they never see this 'Frobozz' dude on the server  ;)

Now I don't know why the level 50 policy was made for alex it may be as Frobozz says that lazy pirates just sat there by the 5 gates but I do know that level 50 is excessive protection. When I take all my $ and shove it in the bank hey presto I'm level 40 and I'm flying a fully maxed out WA1 so I gotta wonder who at level 50 needs all this protection? AT's? they can bank $ just as easy as I can. I want to tax, that Pirate RP is great, it's a hoot I try to ham it up myself yarrrrr matey but practically the pirate RP is dead alex makes trade too easy and I'm not going to follow traders NB-A-NT-A-NB-A-... ad infinitum it's not exactly the thrill of the chase even if I catch them in a house system I'm still feeling like I'm camping a gate and as fro pointed out it's cheesy so I don't RP as Pirate at all. Pirates IMHO should NOT be anywhere near CAPITAL systems wouldn't the House clear them out? of course they would. RP folks, Pirates should be waiting in the high seas for the fat merchant but since all traders go Capital-Alex-Capital it's hard for me to RP the dangerous pirate right there in front of these capitals? With house police flying around? Arrrrrrr what's a pirate to do?
[quote="DIGGER";p="156618"].... Bring back over lvl 20 in alex may help a little .[/quote]
Na, but level 30 would be good . Even level 40 seems more than reasonable. 50? Insane. JMHO.

Oh, and fix this next mod by moving the House gates far apart winin Alex and not all bunched up?

I think all of this come because the trader routes are too short and have a very low profit, or just because 1M missions are too easy.

If pirates only become 200K per trader(and this's MAX!!) they will go to do missions, 'cause they can make 1M in less than 10min.

They only way pirates will choose to tax istead of killing is the prize they'll become. Let's set it in 1M.

When a trader prefers to pay 1M tax than dying is because it's better to him. So, after paying, he has to have at least his cargo bay full to become this million back and a bit extra. Let's set it in 0.5M.

Now, how can a trader hire escort? Same as pirates... Nobody will escort traders if they can do missions for 1M too. But if you can earn 1.5M per trade you can hire 2 escorts and share the benefits (0.5M each for exemple)

What do you think?

I really don't have a problem with the $200k tax, that's per trader per day right? It's the thrill of the hunt that matters, it's dropping the tradelane and netting a prize. The tax should be very reasonable, then it'll be paid. There is no hunt with gates within sight of docking rings. I refuse to camp there, nor at the 5 gates in alex.

[quote="Wolfie";p="157007"]...set it under lvl 50 - moaning traders again
not lower it - moaning pirates again

the only 1 that dont moan here is the Rs...the Rs are always happy with alex...they dont care...why not stop caring???[/quote]
I fail to see why traders would moan level 40 protection, those AT's cost less than my WA1 and if I can bank down to 40 surely they can too.

But maybe I will stop caring as you say and just write off alex. It'll be easy to /bank down to 49 and /afk when I pass through it, because I see no reason to do any RP in alex the way it is now.

lol all of u yust crying...xD

1 reason is why they don`f give to [X] tax...
Becouse no 1 play it fair...Meny [X] kill first then ask for 200k tax!!
If [X] wanna play they should play [X] rp not [R] or noobish rp

About Alex...Better stay at 50...U have meny sistems to tax or kill

Hmm so a player if he pushes it can make 100 mill in 4 hours. so 30 x 100mil is 3 Billion.... A pirate get's 200k lets say time 3 in 4 hours so 600k x 30 = 1.8 million per month. Can we raise the tax or something?

hehe Cobra  yeah 200k is so not very good...Its to little  @-)

Hmm 500k will be okey...Better i guess

Cya in space

ok my tuppence-

there are OTHER TRADE ROUTES other then the ones that go through alex.. explore a bit and find them..
ive said this before and prob will again.. play the RP of the char your on,dont swop chars coz pirates shot you and you want revenge in your fighter char- that is silly and not a good RP atitude.

and the point that froboss made about incoming missiles-- spot on.
you dont wait till a trader has cruised out of range while you were typeing "tax please"
stop him with a CD - so he nos you CAN KILL HIM if he doesnt comply.

and yes i have payed tax in vairious chars (or i fight them then if i loose i pay)- not when i was in a navy one though becouse that is not navys RP.

SCREAM ON and then do it some more lol

well in past few days i managed to colect in my pirate char tax few times
I was amazed
i managed to colect more in a day than in past few months
I even was grened that they will post SS to admin becouse i killed them, well they did not pay and I kill
ofcourse i took SS too just to be on safe side

first ask then shoot, some of them made me angry so i swithced to R char and then i just kill without asking becouse i do not like treats and they died
