Depends on what you want to say! If all you want is sex, just unzip your fly; if you want to say something specific....?

I'm still alive and kicking, so I haven't had my LAST meal yet...

Not to worry, Drakon, we only allow capitalists on Rodez, so the socialists have to settle for the orbital hotel at Lhasa Station. Ruivo is a guest chef there from time to time... Planetside, however, we have the benefit of a frequent flyer program with the fine young ladies out in Altair, so by all means, stop on by! The resort is on an archipelago, so wealthy patrons can enjoy their own private island, and personal staff...clothing optional, of course!

Thanks, Arvedui! With the server down, I'm getting nostalgic for the old home system...I got some mindworms to burn![203]

Yep, even though Firaxis/Sid Meier put out a Win 2000/XP patch for my favorite game, the P4 processor appears like a dual processor to the game AI, and it won't run. It's possible that if you disable HT on the processor, that it will work, but I have not actually tired this. Instead, I still have my old P2 450Mhz machine to run it on...

im also inviteing a second POLICE CLAN to join us -> the CFPD, to help us to stop smugglers

FYI, Inferno, KRT is the 2nd police clan (once they really ACT like police)...

It's a warm, sunny day here on Planet Rodez, in the Casius system, and Independent Operators' Consortium (IOC) has just completed the expansion of the opulent Smuggler's Cay Resort and Spa! Now we have room to host a larger number of pilots who want to take some much needed R & R after dodging pirates and haggling with commodity brokers all week. Lay back and enjoy a massage, while you indulge in some Blood Whiskey and a cardamine cap...

Any freelancer who is interested in having the benefits of clan membership, without the burdens of organizational duties, is encouraged to visit the Corporate site, at: ioc.t35.com and read our Charter. Benefits include, but are not limited to, signing bonus, profitable private trade route, training, unique ship access, mutual defense, and our clan alliances.

Our site is under renovation, and will have new features soon, but you may also use the site link to register your interest on the IOC forum. In fact, we are looking for an individual who is skilled in HTML code to help with the renovations! Of course, you may also contact any IOC pilot online for further information.

Join the fun of running the Galaxy with interesting mates, punishing pirates, roasting aliens and getting wealthy in the process! IOC is the place to be...

When KRT sets an ambush and shoots down a newbie in a Dromedary freighter, then tractors in the cargo, I think that the line between police RP and piracy has been crossed, as happened early this morning... [8]

IMO, KRT cannot justify the number of trains they have killed over the last day or so...

LOL!

@ Privvy: I think you're a real stand-up, guy Priv...

@ Wavey: how about an APC, mate? Lots less armor than a train, the cargo loss can still be millions...the bot's/bat's are only good for a couple charges anyway?

Angmar's life expectancy took a turn for the worse, as IOC pilots brought their business to HIM yesterday. Pity the server didn't cooperate, as we were having such fun chasing him around the Crossfire docks...

Same thing here. I was docking @ CF docks, with heavy lag right before restart. My ship's nose was pressed up against the bay door, and froze there, then the connection dropped. Same sysmptoms trying to reconnect as NSM. It appears that there is some huge lag on the server from either someone logged in, or it's being spammed or hacked... Can't think of another cause.

The ship looks as though it would fit a scout or escort role best, making it a medium-to heavy fighter, class 6-8 guns, CD/CM/M, high agility, 6500-7500 armor. No matter the skin, it will be hard to see, due to the thin sections; is there a ship called "Wraith" yet? Seems to fit this design

As far as I know, banning is not a legitimate threat merely for system rules infractions. It's possible someone threatened to have that done, but banning is for server rules infractions. Of course, if you choose to mark yourself as a trespasser by buying a ship, then you bear the risk of falling victim to the legitimate enforcement of system rules by the offended parties, which may include hunting you down and dissecting your ship. If this gives you excitement, then enjoy the chase that is sure to come, while it lasts! [doom] [7]

Well, you can't say you weren't warned, especially since I personally warned you from one of my (IOC)CA ships at the time... Being hunted is normally a result of rules infractions or pirate actions, both of which are predictable. I got killed in a sneak attack by a pirate early in my CF career, but I did not give a single thought to quitting, since there is no mod like this one Just learn from it and move forward, and discover the players you feel comfortable hanging with, whether freelancers or clan members; not everyone is out for blood!

The Devastator VHF shows 2 torp/CD slots, but it will take 1 torp + 1 CD ONLY. Not 2 torps, not 2 CD's...probably only a slot description error.

AMEN to that, Chief! Many of us have family members who not only served in defense of freedom, but paid the ultimate price of their very lives. The least we can do is to remember them, but the BEST we can do is to so live as to make the results of that sacrifice endure...

For CFPD to announce this type of action is no different than LP announcing taxation actions. It is completely within the character of the CFPD role, just as piracy is for LP. I applaud the action as some imaginative role-play, and wish more clans (ahem, including my own...) would do more of this. The ASF/CSF RP is not the only way to play a role here; besides, while CFPD is focused on Hyperion, there are lots of other profitable routes open to entrepreneurs....

Apparently, in the drunken revelry at ASF HQ following the successful escape by ASF prisoners and their escorts, someone forgot to post the results! All the prisoners involved in the jail break arrived safely on Planet Stuttgart, with the help of a few skilled escorts. Apparently, the prisoners had been transferred to a location so secretive, that even CSF patrol units were unaware of it, since they were caught out of position for a secure intercept!

Sadly, the ex-POW's revealed in debriefing that the remaining missing members of the ASF High Command have been exiled to a remote sector of Altair, possibly even in Dom K'vash space....

Judging from the responses to Reaper's obervation, I'm thinking it could be related to the type of graphics card/driver in use; I don't know of many others who have a Radeon 9600XT card (like mine) in their comp. I updated the Catalyst drivers when 1.6 came out, so I'm fairly current with it...

Actually, this effect has been occurring for me and others since 1.6 Beta. Before, it was only the first time a character entered Sol, but now it is every time...for myself and others. Perhaps it is related to the ship I'm flying? I've only made multiple trips to Sol with one character, but it's a Freedom X Interceptor, with coalition gatlings on it; no idea if this could be related...

I personally consider it a minor irritation, but I do need to F1 to see the JG's.
