    You won't get more money on story-line missions, however you'll find that if you decide to wander and do random missions can get improved payouts...(although the majority of these higher-paying missions do have a somewhat increased difficulty...) - Have fun, and good luck 8)

  • Global server down

    The "User Online" bit is actually a count of how many people are logged into the forum at the time I believe.


    The number of people will show in green next to the server status when the server comes back online ;)

  • Suggestion for new guns

    [Size=+1]Liberty:[/size]

    -Range: 2400m
    -Projectile Speed: 1000 m/s

    [Size=+1]Rheinland:[/size]
    "Fang" CQCS (Close Quarters Combat System)

    These are only sugggestions, and the range/speed/damage (etc) values will probably need to be tweaked slightly... ;)

  • 1.63 Suggestions Thread

    Here's one I know is implemented in other mods - The ability for clans to set reps with players (ie so stations/bases etc go hostile if the player hasn't been given access) - This would also stop any issues with people running into clan systems and camping there to ambush the system owners....



    -Definitely a wider range of capship weapons - I'm actually just about to post some suggestions in a thread that already deals with this... 8)

    The Ship List For Night Two:



    It seemed people were getting fairly careless with their ammunition this week....:D. The tuesday event was a random one to add some entertainment for those present at the time 8)


    We have also had the suggestion that "Rampages" should count for something extra...(A rampage is multiple kills in a row without dying yourself, and shows over the console messages as such). Personally I think this has its possibilites as it would add an element of tactics to the fighting, and could well make for some surprise winners....;)




    Notes:
    - Suicides (ie flying into planet) will deduct 5 from your kill score each time.
    - Self-Kills (ie killed by own munitions) will deduct 2 kills from your score each time.
    - Anyone deliberately attacking the referee will lose 15 kills from their score (whether the referee is killed or not), and must wait 5 minutes before rejoining the match. If the same player attacks the referee again then they are disqualified for the remainder of that weeks' match.
    - Accidental kills of the referee will result in a loss of 10 kills.

    First he said u cant kill me cause i got past the blockade. My response was, yes i can u are a pirate and i can kill u anywhere, anytime. Its our Role Play and yours.


    And as part of this Role Play pirates (and police) can also hire mercs to assist them :D - yes IOC is a Freelancer/Merc clan, so this means we do take contracts (even from LP) if the pay is high enough.... 8)
