such posts deserve to get deleted, plus ban, imho.

but at least it made me laugh, that's the only positive

well I think u just have to accept that Crossfire is the
"mod of long ways"... whether closed jumpholes like
Magellan-Leeds, or need for litres of coffee and
dozens of cigarettes on Altair trips, or huge detours coz
of forever-closed clan systems...

I'm not sure what's intended with that, important
passes like Custodian or Nephele shouldn't be claimable
at all in my opinion, same for systems that sell unique
stuff, but on the other hand, they pay hard cash for
renting a system and therefore it's ok that they can do
with their systems what they want.

Anyway, just keep in mind that when everyone has to
fly more and more longer ways, there's less time for
fighting - the thing u actually wanna do when playing
multiplayer shooting game

just my 5cents,

And yes, be a pirate means more to be hunted then to hunt or tax.

Maybe time to change that and bring back sum fear into sirius and altair [8]

Ship ahoy!
Three master bill off the starboard bow!
Man the cannons!
FIRE!

I must add something:

I also chatted a while with several guys here, to get to
know the rules, common habits (e.g. play also TNG, use
of botts/bats is normal, and even part of strategy.. if
u wait for shield to reload, or better use batts...) and
such...

I don't remember exactly but I think it was a guy of the
server police, CFPD I think (could be wrong though), he
told me, that practically everyone uses that traderoute
to earn his cash, also CFPD, or BG, I also saw KRT
trading (Storm topic, seems to be closed now). He also
told me, that smuggler hunting happens just sometimes,
with announcement or such.

But, since 2 days, just everytime I logged in and tried
to get some cash (still building up chars, 2-3 ships with
equipment cost really a lot), I got surprised by switching
characters in sol route, and killing my newbie train,
2 times I hadn't even cash left to buy another full cargo.
Even with artifacts, I got shot... I tried 4-5 runs last
days and just couldnt trade, instead of making >150mil
profit, I lost over 100mil and lots of hours playing time,
in the very first days for me on this server...

Looking at those 250mil and 2 days of playing often for
nothing, it seems a bit ridiculous that we pirates should
tax first, for lousy max. 5mil and leave them then for 24h!

Today's highlight was, when I engaged a single UAC,
he docked at station and just stayed there instead to
fight... but yesterday it was no problem for them,
including IOC and CFPD, to attack me 4vs1 in California...
instead of staying docked or hidin in NY, I went to
the slaughtering again and again... (priv joined, was 5-2
then) - so what, u dont lose much when dying in a fighter!

So, guys, is it really so much fun for u to hunt down
new player's trade ships? And fleeing on single encounters?

I hope I'll soon be able to put some battleships at
trade selling stations, stay in NY all day until I see
someone trading, switching quickly and blowing up
all his cash, seems like that's what u want here [3]

Arrrrrr, the war has begun!

P.S.: thats no complaining here, nobody cheated or such,
just to give u my first impressions that I had here

I'm experiencing strange lags often, even when
I check the ping in Allseeing Eye and it's below 10 (!),
I get yellow or even red symbols... any idea what that
could be? No other programs running or such...

Hi fellow space pilots,

still quite new to the server, had lately some discussions
about using batts/bots, also with KRT-Inferno, who
seems to claim here that he doesnt like when a fighter
reloads...

well, my 5 cents to that, is this little story:

I'm still building up my chars, so trading is essential for
me at the moment, to buy all the stuff and have some
spare cash for ammo. One day, a KRT member told me
"hey lets do traderun together, agents lists to earth",
I thought, OK, why not...

20min later Inferno joined, scanned me ship, switched to a
char positioned on the route, and told me to drop the
cargo... I had only about 10mil left on my trader, of
course I didnt agree to lose almost all my cash, so
I went into fight.. thought I had no chance, with that
train and those Katana turrets, but anyway I tried,
and shot his shield down and hull to 1pixel or so,
he had to reload 2 or 3 times, until finally shot me down
which made me a bit angry, but well, multiplayer games
are dangerous sometimes

Short time later, I was chatting a bit, told some other
guy, that I nearly shot that fighter with me crappy train,
he answered then "what, thats forbidden, or at least,
clan members agreed not to reload in fighter PvP"...
didn't know about that until then.

Well, contrary to the statements here, KRT told me very
clearly, that "no reloading" is not in the server rules, so
he will use it, he also said, that PvP would be only
fighter vs fighter, not fighter vs train, which sounded
more than strange to me (fighter vs fighter no, but against
train, which is lot weaker target, he thinks it's ok???)

After finding and reading this topic, it's now very clear
for me, that the so-called "knights" are some of most
unhonorable fighters here, he saw that he would lose,
was probably pissed about that and didn't care about
that common convention about reloading anymore,
which he knew, since he also read this thread here.

Plus, after getting angry bout that, switching to my
fighter and bashing 3 KRT in a row (being newbie in
that mod), showed me, why trains are their favorite
targets, lol

For me, I'll stick to LP's and BG's attitude.. u dont lose
much when get shot in a fighter (opposed to 30min
playing time and 50mil cash in a train) without reloading,
but lose ur honor with reloading.

At least, he offered me 24h immunity after that, but for
the rest, well u can make ur own thoughts about it.
