  • Lost Account ID

    Well, not as stupid as I thought, I found the ID on a USB key. Thanks everyone for the offers and the link to FAQ, it helped me remember where I saved the file.

  • Lost Account ID

    Yup, I am stupid and everything you want to add, I'll take it.


    I added a new user account and installed the game again, thing is, I wrote the Accoubt ID I had and when I logged in, my ships were gone.


    I will create a new account and put a character named " Major_Stupid " on it and ask the admins if they would be willing to transfer my characters into this account. The character's name on my old account are " Thunderbird " " Jack_Russell " and " Heavy_Hauler ". I am willing to pay a fine.


    I would understand if you decide not to do it.


    Thank you for your understanding.

    Things are improving, I was able to assemble those 3 items I got from the Kavash, and it really is a cloaking device. But something isn’t right, the ship uncloaked itself every time I undock and whenever I flip the switch to engage it outside a base, I get an error from the computer «Insufficient energy in your cargo hold!» I am starting to think that the item I got from the Canis Sector (Dom’Kavash Device) is part of the solution.


    Also, I found a way out to Altair Sector, I was out of everything when I was spotted by a Coalition patrol, and they took me back to one of their base. My ship was confiscated and I was detained for questioning. They saw that I wasn’t a threat and released me after a couple of days. I am still waiting for them to release my ship.


    I will have to contact Section 1.9 upon my return; they might be able to found the problem with the cloaking device.


    I miss home.

    If someone gets this message, make sure it is brought to Section 1.9!


    I have been stranded for months in the Inner Core Sector. I am not sure how I got all the way here but one thing is sure, I survived by looting some GMG derelict and repairing my ship using those Repair Buoy they left behind. I am unable to find my way back at this time.


    I have found an Alien race that called themselves Kavash, they are willing to help. Those other Aliens I came across were very hostile and the only thing I could do whenever I would detect them was to flee ( reason why I am lost). The Kavash have asked me to help them find something (don’t know what yet) in another sector. For this, they have provided me with 3 items that should make my ship disappear, some kind of cloaking device that would help me reach the next sector.


    Not sure how or when I’ll be returning to Sirius Sector, my priority is to learn more about this technology so I can make it work on my ship.

    P.S. Let my wife knows that I am not dead!

    To: Section 1.9


    To all that offered to help with the transfer; thank you!


    I met with Dampfwalze in front of planet Manhattan. Transfer was completed and we went our separate ways. I will be flying to Enyo system and get the VHF ZX14 Protector. The ship looks good and seems to be well balanced.


    See you all in space!

    Wife: "Where are you going like this dear?"


    Jack: "Someone from section 1.9 left a message, I need to bring my ships back to Planet Manhattan New-York. I need to look for Catatonic or Balzar, they might be able to help me with the transfer"


    *Note to myself* *I need to contact Private lawmac1 to let him know that Thunderbird, Jack_Russell and Heavy_Hauler are the ships he should be looking for*


    Wife: "Finally! I will have the house to myself"


    Jack: "that's love for you"


    *Open the door and makes his way to his newly acquired ship*

  • Not feeling so good!

    Jack: "Look at the news Jo-Ann; that is why I need to transfer credits from one ship to the other, so I can get a very heavy fighter and apply on those jobs opening"


    Jo-Ann: "So, still no change with your accounts""


    Jack: "No, all the commands needed to tranfer my credit from my trader to the new ship I am looking for are still disable. I could try and ask someone to help me with the transfer but who can you trust these days"


    *Walks to the screen and turns it off*


    *Man, If I could move those credits from one ship to the other, i would probably take on those jobs, can you believe that, people are flying with their eyes closed, how they do it?*

  • Not feeling so good!

    Jo-Ann: "When will you stop playing that game?, we need to get some credits soon"


    Jack: "What else can I do, my accounts are still Disabled, I cannot transfer or withdraw any cash"


    Jo-Ann: "And you think playing a game will fix everything?"


    *Man, is she getting on my nerve* I will call the bank again, are you happy?"


    Jo-Ann: *Lazy bumm!*


    Jack: *Humm, maybe those guys at section 1.9 can help me, I should call them up*

    You are not allowed to reload (use nanobots and/or shield batteries) during PvP fights. The exception to this is when a Train is being attacked by fighter or capital ship when it is begrudgingly permitted. NEW: Reloading (the use of nanobots and/or shield batteries) during a Player vs. Player fight is not forbidden. However, it is advised not to do it since it just drags out the fights but very likely doesn’t change anything about the outcome.


    When I saw "New:", I thought it meant for both situation.


    Sorry again

    But then, this may cause issues between players. Shouldn't it be "No reload or reload " . I would suggest to reload for a couple of reasons;


    1- A fight that last a couple a second is kind of boring and give the upper hand to the one that either shoot first and/or have the best guns. There is no skills needed in that. Long fight can make a difference if the fighter as a chance to use his skills.


    2- Batts and botts are part of the equipment you have on a ship, makes sense in RP to use it.

    @ {LP}50Pack{X} ; Yes you can get CF ships early! I got the Bastard very early in the beginning. No need to be high level, just friendly with the faction selling the ships.

    Hello Jo-Ann!


    I know, I was supposed to come back every two weeks and now it’s been three weeks. Many things have happened. An LSF agent approached me after the incident with that Razor_One guy. They noticed I was a fair pilot and they offered me a job. Money was to good for me to refuse. I hired my brother, he will be flying Thunderbird from now on. So, don’t worry about money.


    Can you believe that, Private Jack Russell, I can’t say anything about the mission. I was told they were looking for pilots for a special mission. You wouldn’t believe what I have seen out there. They give us permission to send this transmission but was advised not to go into any details. They say that from now on, it will get more dangerous as we go along. They assigned me to a Very Heavy Fighter the” Bastard “. Quit a ship, I am taking good care of her. She already safe my life many times. I was also noticed by Sergeant Husker, he seems to appreciate my company. I have to let you go, we have to depart in 5 hrs and I haven’t slept yet.


    I think of you often and can only hope to be back for our anniversary, 31 years already!


    That is all for now

    Hello Jo-Ann!


    Well, how can I say this: You know that guy Razor_One I told you about, I have heard rumours that he could be a Lane Hacker. Whatever credits I sent you might be dirty money. Stop using it for now.


    I am sure the LPI is already looking into this. My accounts have been ceased, also, it was to be a surprise but, I bought a Soulforge train with those credits he gave me. I left it in space near Birmingham Station in Manchester. No one will let me dock with it on their bases.


    I have been only 2 weeks in section 1.9 and I might be in big trouble. If you don’t hear from me in a week, keep an eye on the news, you might see me there.


    That is all for now, wish me luck.


    ~ Jack

  • Razor_One: Admin or Cheater?

    Guilty! The amount he gave me was either 600 or 700 million. I bought the Soulforge train with it and the rest is in the balance. Could be why I cannot use withdraw and transfer. I can only hope that my account is not corrupted.
