Battleships. Can we have an answer plz.

[[Yautja]-SCAR]

I know you admin guys are busy and have a life outside of the void but, surely you could take 2 mins to answer our questions about Battleships and when will they be fixed - ie mountable with weps etc.

Its not my intentions to start some kind of flame, but this question was posted roughly a week ago and still there has been no answer from an admin, yet I'm positive at least one member of the Admin team has probably read it.  

If this has been answered in the last few days, and I have missed it, then ignore this post and accept my apologies but if it hasnt, then there is definetly a communication barrier.

It's not just battleships bugged, but gunboats too. I've been waiting since Feb. 2nd for someone to reply why I can't buy a gunboat and only see 'insufficient funds, purchase aborted' when I try. Took me a long time to find the right place, so I just sit docked since then.

chill

as said just wait a little longer...everything will be fixed soon

Lol,  I am chilled and I will wait but all I am saying is that if you ask a question you should at least get some sort of answer.

Asking a question and being ignored isnt very nice, and just sitting and waiting without any kind of timescale aint very fair either.

If most of the players here are prepared to sit and accept that they are gonna be ignored then, I think there is a serious communication problem.  It shouldnt be like that.

Agree, We all know they have to be very busy. But a little answer would be very appreciated. Even if they say "wait 'til end of September", I'll wait. Or some kind of progress report, ..don't know. :-/

The issue is being worked on and its not so simple because players were abusing the fix we put in, hence it was reverted back.

Unfortunately, most of my time isnt dealing with fixing errors, its fixing errors and then fixing the cheats which SOME players exploit.

The reason that much of what is listed as bugs has not yet been fixed is due to the constant need to check and fix exploits that players use and tbh I dont have the time or inclination to continue busting a gut and then see that some other exploit is used. The game is 6 years old and i am constantly amazed how so many people continue to try and cheat and exploit things in the game.

I dont like having to be a modder and a cheat fixer all the time. It takes far too much time.

So, to answer your question, it will be done asap.

Thanks for the "heads up".

As I said , I know you guys are busy and I appreciate the fact you got back to me.

Communication between players and admin has in the past been very good, but since this new mod has come out it has changed for the worse.  Lets hope it is just a temp thing, due to the fact you have other issues to coytend with.

Havent heard much from alot of the other admin guys recently.

Hi all.
Yesterday Feb 11. I am able to mount my weapons at my gunboat and all works fine for some hours.
As i try to mount a frighter shield at the right place all weapons unmount.
I dont know if this action crash it.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to write in forum what is allowed to install on these ships and what not.

But at all very good work for team and thanks a lot for your hard work to try to fix all bugs.
It´s really not easy to fix it all.

Gimme a list of names boss and I will clear the decks.  That is just plain freakin' WEAK.  All it will serve to do is drive players away from here as they will not be able to compete with the cheaters and the exploiters.

It has come to my attention that there are several level 90 players that have shown up suddenly.  One of them admitted to having only been here for THREE weeks and has already got three Battleship characters! (You know who you are!) Others are players who have never been known to trade extensively and are normaly placed at about level 65 to 70 - which is no mean feat in itself - to be sitting at level 90 is taking the flaming mick!  If I get the go ahead I will start erasing characters that have exploited the weakness in the new mod instead of letting the ADMINS know of its existence and that goes for so called clan leaders that have permitted and encouraged this sort of behavior.  To give you an example  - my bank character has 394 Million and is placed at level 81 so that will give you an idea of what a level 90 player carries - its into ADMIN figures....!  (I know there are some who have been here a long time and worked real hard to get to level 90 - Im not talking about them, just in case there is any confusion).

Personaly I would delete all battleship characters and hold a moratorium on the general sale of such and only to a chosen few for testing purposes - and before everyone starts moaning just remember you would have brought this on yourselves. (Just my twopence worth boss...!)

I can only suggest that there is a character reset back 4 weeks to solve this problem - drastic I know but given the level of stupidity and the rife behaviour of certain individuals that may be the only way.  Its either that or Zeb's Ban Stick comes out of the bag and I will ban anyone seen to be at an inappropriate level, if the innocent get caught up in it then I apologise in advance.  Most of you know it well enough that this is no idle threat! Get it together people and start playing as a community and not as a bunch of self serving retentives .....!

Sorry for the rant but I feel very strongly about this.   :-w  - Zeb

Agree Zeb., this is too much. Every day I see players that I've never seen wearing a new and shiny 90 rank. :-w
I've traded and traded and traded and traded and traded and traded to have three rank 80 chars (1000M together)  >:P

The only thing of this that scares me is that, as you know, Geromix left and gave me all his cash and all cash contained in his AoF's bank char. If you revert back to 4 weeks ago status this will dissapear, right?

I think I have enough cash myself to support AoF's querys, but only if we don't have to pay for the base. Clan bases were supposed to be bought by the clans like BS, remember? and we made a lot of money to buy ours.

Zeb., do what you think is better for the Void, and thanks for the work out there.
