Hey Illuminatus, you sure it is 15 pins, I have an old MS Sidewinder, that uses a

game port connection, that has 9 pins.

My modern motherboard does not have a

suitable connection, but I have an old sound card that has does.

Means fitting it,

and disabling the onboard sound card, but I remember SL as being a great game, so I might

just do it.

It would be nice to fly with a joystick again; there really is no

comparison with a mouse. The degree of control that you get really does enhance the game.

Opps Sorry forgot to mention, there is no charge for my service. Indeed I may pay

you!

Hey ChiefRedCloud, if you need a

wingman while you sort out your rep, let me know.

I cannot pvp (no experience, but

working on it), but I can shoo those pesky flies away for you. I am usually on from 15:00 to

20:00 GMT, but can work outside these times.

Us old folk got to stick

together!

I fly under char of JtaK

See you out there!

Best place to find them is where they live.

They have Bases in Hudson, Kepler and Colorado.

I made the same mistake as you. I

gave bribes to get equipment I wanted. Ended up as enemies of the ASF and CSF. Could not go

to X-3043 without being attacked, and could not dock at Crossfire.

Nasty when your

carrying 130 Escape Pods!!!

The problem is not with you, but the equipment you are using.

With level 9

equipment, you need to pick your guns very carefully.

Until I get some level 10 guns,

killing them is a slow and often tedious business.

Once you have 4 level 10 guns,

and a decent shield, you can go out without bots/bats, and make more by selling your victims

discarded ones.

Why do it? 100k per tractor pod. Average level 40 mission is worth

1.5M, takes about 10-20 minutes.

Takes a lot of trading to make that profit, that

quick.

I have done

missions where support was supposed to be there, one ship turns up, and promptly gets

killed.

This has happened several times.

Best to phone a friend I think.
