    Hey Marshall


    Sorry to sound like a complete newbie - can you pm me a clue about the Rheinland Scout sidequest?


    Recently I followed the clues from Planet Crossfire to explore nomad space and I found death valley and the wreck in DV. (I knew where DV was as recently a fellow LP had given me directions - but this time I followed the clues to get there)


    I know of the wreck in Nephele but not sure how it connects to a storyline - etc


    Any hints tips for a newbie explorer is welcomed.

    Now that sounds like fun -


    I may even come online to witness the plan put into action for CNN reporting purpose -


    Like Shannow - the Jerusalum Man - I see the Sword of Damocles hovering over the "Specific People"

    Ryzune likes to complain that he cant spend much time on Eve Online as he works like 19 hours a day (to buy sausages)- but then has time to post (spam) SWAT with 400 irrelevant posts.


    He has changed his user name in Eve (again) unless he has set me to "ignore" status (more likely) and therefore could be ripe for a "sqaushing" in my magnificent Destoyer (oh by the way I have a Cruiser now too)

    Good luck Gunny


    I don't even understand how you put up with it for so long.


    It must be you are much older (:-)) and have a greater sense of responsiblity to the community.


    Maybe this bounty system needs to be taken offline for a few weeks as we have shown again I think, any gifts from OP and Haeger are quickly abused.


    Even perceived abuse of this system is something to think about.

    Ryzune likes to entice young and handsome reporters to Eve Online with a promise of much fun - then disappears for a 2 week holiday with no notice - leaving me at the mercy of everyone else.


    His avatar is quite handsome and I was trying to create one that was more handsome but I could not.


    He has a commendable sense of humour - and wants what he can't have.

    OP once tried to test the effectiveness of his own Server Police and came online with a FAKE CHAR (yep GULP)


    But for some reason (or he had been drinking most likely) he did not fully understand the concept of fake char and came online as op-r8r


    He likes other people to do his gardening.

    It would seem that an efficient corporation can make enough isk to fund players that cant afford the monthly.


    Speaking as a newbie in Eve - I reckon it would take many months to get something like this going - but yes - I think it can be done.


    However, I will also post (heavily-edited) some rules for new players:


    1. Dont trust anyone.
    2. AFK does not exist in space.
    3. You are not even safe in the safest areas of the game.
    4. Don't trust anyone.
    5. There are no rules.


    I think that's a decent summary :-)

    The writer was sort of proposing it could be done within your first few momths = but when some experienced players looked at the time involved to do it - they raised some doubts.


    On LVL 1 missions - I can easily make 5 mill day, 5x30 = 150mill, I think even 10mill per day is possbile if you wreck and sell loot. Now what happens if you move to level 2 missions?


    I think if someone started new and focussed on this tactic - maybe 2-3 months they could be financing their gameplay via selling ISK?

    you could have the same staying in RL... be my slave... i let you dig in my garden


    Well in real life - maybe some of us are REAL pilots that fly in Saracens and uphold truth, justice and peace.


    Well speaking to some people - it sure feels like that :-)


    Maybe to relax, they want to get out of their cockpit, put a hat on and do some peaceful mining.


    Anyway OP - Xmas party in your garden you say?

    I think its about 15 Euros a month - I just paid my first installment so I can tell you if its worth it - or not - in a few weeks.


    Last night I had finally earned enough trust with my mission agent and that corp to be offered Level 2 Missions (yep more rewards, more cash, more loot, more salvage and more danger) so look to a report on that soon.

    Well I am impressed - never thought my own country would be mentioned on a section of the SWAT forum - and here it is.


    Bangladesh Marshall.


    This film was subject to a recent court case in the UK as the Government was distributing it to all schools as an educational tool to aid the study of global warming etc


    The judge ruled that although the film contained some errors - it could still be distributed.

    Sounds like a good reason for making it harder to amass a fortune in the next update. I think one of the rationales for the last update and even the dynamic economy was to make it harder to Billionise yourself - but there are many fat cats on the server now.


    It took a while for people to properly cotton on to the Calif/SOS pay off = but once it kicked into the part and parcel of everyday life on the server it never stopped.


    In the early days of DU there was the well known NL to LEEDS route which was used a lot until OP adjusted it -


    In the Vanilla game the 1k+ routes involve travelling from Rhein TO Kusari or even furter on some routes - maybe some changes back in that direction would be good?


    Also we know money is almost become meaningless when handsome pirates have 400mill and 500mill bounties placed on their heads. WTF is that all about?


    I am all in favour of declaring anyone caught carrying Coffee in their hold as a police sympathiser and liable for extreme levels of taxable income.
