@OP I call that imagination

lawmac1: to avoid having trouble town there (in IC) because you can't dock. Just give a call to someone who has a repair ship in this area already (eg. Vishnu does)
In that way you would have the repairs being covered (even tho it just repairs hull and not mounted equipment)
Maybe this would help you out, in case you get in a situation in this area.
And for transporting stuff or loading up your vessel, I think there are a lot of people willing to help you out in this matter.

[BC]afGun:
what I told was a very long story made pretty short.
The full story no one will be able to tell, since for a complete story with all details, everything would have to be revealed. (from all sides)
Parts of the story are spread across the forum over a duration of more than just 2, 3 or 5 month.
Parts of the story happend on the leader board, where only clan leaders have access to and where it should remain, since it's not of anyone elses business.
Parts of the story happend via PM, where only the sender and receiver have access to.
Everything else has been moved to the archives or it's been deleted already, since it was not boiling up just since yesterday, but a long period of time.

The whole thing could probably fill a complete novel, which would contain misunderstandings, accusations, lies, rumors, threats, different opinions, stubborness, agression, fear and probably much more.

No offense, or hard feelings, but not you or anyone (besides the involved parties) will ever get to know everything what happend and lead to the result.

All we can do, is learn and don't repeat it again

husker:
I dont think you got the point of it, did you?
EVERYONE has his/her own experience in this matter. No matter what faction or clan.
And I just stated mine, to show that not everything what PX members made, has been bad.
You might have made bad ones along with others, I did not make any bad experience along with others as well.
I have no clue how many members PX had. lets assume 20
Now ranting over a whole clan, includes ALL members. Which means that all 20 members have made bad things, which I can NOT really believe.

And thats my entire point. With this "bad talking" and blaming, you (all) also talk bad about people, you probably have never played with, only because they have the PX tag.
Which does not really help to play together. In fact it's putting people you don't even know in a drawer, along with people you have had bad experiences with.
Roleplay-talk is one thing. But this whole "behaviour" is way below that level, we should have in this community, I think. Don't you think so?
And I don't mean OP with banning the clan, I mean people/players/WE still "talking bad" instead of learning out of it. Just look at some post being made on the clarification thread.

People expect a "better" community, a "nicer" behaviour, a fair play with each other. But such things happening, does NOT show anything toward this direction.
This is just sad. sorry.

OP:
I think I got your point.

ps: screens exist. And I seriously hope that one day will come, that you won't get away with such things that easily.

Cleaned to help stay on topic, and not make it into M vs AD.

Gunny: Try to understand please. Not everyone has bad experience and it was only meant as example for a better understanding.

PX (as clan) gets/got blamed for what just a few members (not all) have done.

in EXAMPLE (e.g.) compared to any other clan.
SMG (as example) - you can replace it with whatever clan you like
One member of this clan is constantly running from everything to avoid every confrontation. And/or ONE member of it, is constantly posting BS everywhere and spreading rumors and lies.
Taking this and blaming the whole clan for what ONE member does. Saying that the whole SMG (as example) is running and avoiding everything. That SMG (as example) is posting BS everywhere and spreading rumors and lies.

Does THIS seem to be right? Does THIS seem to be a fair treatment to SMG (as example), knowing that NOT all of them have done wrong things?
I dont think this would be right, do you?

It has been OP's decission, to ban PX. And we have to live with it. Some are pleased and happy now, others are not.
Some are feeling "right" others feel "wrong".

But WE as players (as Orion well said, being guests on the server and forum)
Do WE really have the "right"
- to discredit a whole clan, knowing its not the whole clans fault?
- to blame ALL at once of that clan for mistakes some have made?
- to keep complaining about what has been done wrong by the whole clan, well knowing that not all did turn wrong?
- to keep ranting about other peoples behaviour well knowing that the own behaviour is not a bit better, but only covered in different words and opinions?

Sad thing is that it had to come that far. But we are human beings and most of them are tending to be happy when an opponent gets booted out of the arena. Gives the feeling of "winning" something, doesnt it?
Even more sad is, that some people did not even think about stepping back (no matter of what costs) in order to calm down the situations long time ago. No, they prefered to heat it up with arguing about it.

Do you guys honestly think, that such things are going to improve anything?

And the whole thing does get even worse, when it comes to discredit people who only tell THEIR experience which have not been bad.
It's not wanted, I know. It's more nice to see all people going against those, who have been punished already.
It gives the impression, that people who dont have bad experience with the "booted" ones, have no right to tell anything postiv about people who have been branded as the bad guys destroying everything.

This is what I initially meant, when making the first post.

Edit: I replaced the clan example with SMG, so no one can even pretend to feel offended.

Well. I don't know what was going on between the clans. It was and is none of my business. And I honestly don't care.
I only told my personal experience, which have not been bad at all.
I dont know why and I dont care why.
But getting discredited because of NOT having any issues with others, is what I think goes wrong. Getting meanings put into my posts which are not even mentioned at all, is wrong as well.
And blaming a whole clan for something a few members have done, is also wrong.
But I'm not to judge it. I only say what it looks like to me.

FORLON: removed comment ... more in pm

Happy B-day dude.
Hopefully soon I see you for real and then we can have some drinks together. It wont be that far anymore

Quote from [BC]afGun

I'm still not understand what was going on, but nevermind.

Good to still see you here.

Some guys made a mistake and the whole clan got punished for it.
Some guys stuck their nose into other peoples business and can't handle the fact it's not apreciated that much.

Those who want to return will return, no matter what.

Shockwave: how about us? you know you love me (no homo)

You all (who read the forum) read about the PX ban clarification OP made.
This clarification turned out to be an complaining/ranting about what PX did wrong, as well as some people postet their very own experiences with PX members.

What sense does it make to always blame others for making wrong turns?
A conflict has ALWAYS 2 parties being involved.
One partie initiating the shit and the other partie keeping the thing going and re-fueling the fire. (either with stupid comments, hanging the nose into other's businesses only to make themself being "important" or just showing off with no personal knowledge about ongoing stuff at all)
MAYBE it would have been better/wiser to just ban the responsible persons from PX, than the whole clan instead. But this was OP's decission.
MAYBE it would have been better/wiser to ALSO ban those people, who kept that conflict going, rather than trying to back down and calm the situation.
MAYBE it would have been better/wiser to NOT sticking the own nose into other peoples business and using the forum and server as playground for personal apathy.
MAYBE it would have been better/wiser to play the game instead of bullying/ranting/complaining about others.
There are so much MAYBE's but it does not change anything, since the past can NOT be changed at all.
And the decission from OP to ban the whole PX-clan does not mean none of the PX members can/will return. Since it was not the whole clan messing things up. Whether due misinterpretations, misunderstandings, misguidiance.
It also does not mean that the whole PX clan "destroyed" cop vs. pirate RP

Some of you guys, blame the whole PX for what happend. Which I think, is a wrong move. Or have you really met ALL of their members? Have you played with ALL of them? Can you judge the whole PX?
If thats the case, then I personally think, that ALL cops are running from RP. Only because I met (oh no, I didnt meet) some who always run, who always log off and who always switch chars to avoid RP.
Does this make sense to you? Blaming all from one partie, because 1 or 2 or maybe 3 messed things up? To me it doesn't make any sense. But THIS is exactly whats happening here by some "important" people.
Think about please.

I only stated MY OWN experiences with PX nothing else.
THIS got downrated with the comment: "-10 my cents. nothing personal."
I turned via PM to ask what sense it makes, and if this is the way how it turns when peoples very own experiences (which have NOT been negative) are being made public. And that it seem not being welcomed at all, when people do NOT have negative experience with other players/clans.

Later this user made his own post on this thread interpreting me saying PX being the best clan in the world. - which is bull*****, since I never even mentioned it.
Because of this, I prepared a reply to clarify my statement being made and that I only posted on MY OWN behave and NOT anyone elses experience.
Unfortunately, the thread got closed right that minute when I was sending my reply, so it didn't show up and the reply was gone too.
Ok - it happens - I just took it the way it was, leaving it as it is so I wouldn't force any other sensless discussion appearing.

As I logged back into the forum, I made another exciting, but not really impressing discovery.
Having another negative rating on the very same post, from a different user. The one who has to comment on every single post being made, without thinking about it before.
"Remembered about this after Husker's post, it was a good try to find good examples at PX but remember who made this a platform to complain." (linked to the screenshot, in case it gets changed again, like usual)

THIS comment/behaviour made me finally open this thread.

And again. I personally did NOT have negative experience with any PX-members, not on the forum or on the server itself.
If I get blamed for not having any issues with other people, then I think it's the problem of the people who have a problem with that.
Since I get "criticized" for getting along with other people, then those who can't handle it do have a serious personal issue.
Since people like Michael, do constantly seek for something they can blame others for, without understanding or pusposly ignoring whats written, it will always have negative influence on whatever is being made.
I didn't bother with him, since he is "right" and Im "wrong" and it always turns into flaming about nonsense. But HE keeps seeking for crap only to discredit me. For whatever reason.

And only for your information.
I did NOT re-open the original thread only to post this, because I RESPECT other moderators decissions and do NOT overrun their words, only to make my own statement. Even Griffin told me, that I could easily have done that.

Thanks

After reading all of this entries (and of course the lots of "you did this, thats why I did that bla bla") - which btw. does not change anything since the past can not be changed.

I personally, do NOT speak for the whole SMG-clan, or anyone else, but me.
I personally did never have any problems with any of the PX-members, not on the forum nor in-game.
There was one incident (like 3-4 month ago) which was based on a misunderstanding/misinterpretation and it got solved via PM pretty quickly. (1-2days)
I also don't know any SMG-member having problems with any PX-members. And if they have had any, they got solved via PM and not spreaded out in public so "outsiders" could stick their nose into other ppl's businesses.

My experience with PX was either neutral or positiv, since I play Crossfire (which is since 2006) and try not to bring personal stuff into it.
Back then I was a freelancer, playing all RP on different chars. And I always got along with PX, either in combat or just passing by each other.
I needed help, so I hired them. Same thing the other way around.
When I joined SMG (10/2010) nothing changed. The treatment from PX members was the same, as it was before.
I even did missions together with PX members. There was never a problem with it.
I (as GR) got reports from PX and if I could not solve it right away I forwarded it through the apropriate channels.
I (as GR) asked for support from Shockwave and always got it, when he was available. Same counts for other GR's from other clans.

I have NO clue what is/was going on within the conversations between OP and PX. And it was never/will never be any of my business, unless I get asked for my opinion about it.
Therefor I think, a statement from OP's side should be treated as such. If he makes it public, then I think only to inform the rest of the community of what happens.
But it is still HIS decission as admin and owner of the server and forum.

If people (no matter who) can't live with it, they are free to go anywhere.
If people (no matter who) can't accept decissions being made, they can still go.
If people (no matter who) think there should be some changes being made. They can make suggestions, there is nothing wrong with it. But if those suggestions are not going to be used/implemtented right away, then this is ok as well and will have to be accepted the way it is.

Whoever is interested in reading whats going on at the PX-forum, can still go their themself and read themself.
I personally think, there is no quotation or anything needed or even necessary to spread the "bad behaviour" from other forums in here, only to show "how bad" someone is.

Some of you guys don't like PX. Maybe because:
-they have beaten you in fights
-they are more organized than you
-they are richer than you
-they attacked out of roleplay
-their missiles hit better than yours
-they suspected you of cheating
-they did not report it the way they should
-they tried to solve problems on their own
-their opinion/pov is different than yours
-ect...

THEY are GONE! And now you can be happy and seek for others to blame for something.
OR you simply get along with the decission being made and start learning from this happening, in order to make the future a bit more comfortable/better for ALL.

I personally hope that some PX-members will return to Crossfire, since I'm sure that NOT ALL of them are the way, some people want them to look like.
And if not. Well. Crossfire is still a game which is supposed to be played TOGETHER and not to be used as platform to complain about others being stronger or opposit minded.

Those are my 2,5 cents

Now, this sounds promising

So far there are no known containers mountable on the transport/large transport.

The containers itself (those you can mount on the train/soulforge train) does not affect (increasing/decreasing) the cargo capacity of those vessels anyway.
They are mostly there (now) for making cash and (earlier) to make the train look "better" (imo)

@50Pack .. ROFL

btw. does it mean you can command me around ??
Now I'm getting scared

If he has bad luck then he got stuck between the "tunnel of the docking bay" and the rest of the prison building.
Like it is when you get stuck in Kyoto Base (Chugoku), or Bruchsal base (Frankfurt). no way to fly to the docking bay "within" the station.
Got stuck such a way myself and was only lucky that I had that mean mines to kill myself.
No player nor NPC's outside could even hit me.

just consider the geographical location and surroundings within the US.
Then think about how tornados get "build" and the locations where they appear.
The US has like a isle for "tornados only", which is not necessarily filled with that many big cities (who could possibly produce such a big ammount of heat needed)

btw. you might have seen a hurricane, since tornados are on land and hurricanes are on water.

I don't hide and yes, I see the screenie of SMG invading Tarsus...... and I have something for you. I have my 4 CFPD pilots and we will be paying you guys a visit.

I dont mind Gunny You're welcome. I just hope I can be online the same time (you know, time difference can be a pain in the rear-part)
The purpose of SMG paying Tarsus a visit was to get M moving to defend his home. But well.. no luck to make him comming, or he was too scared.
But it was still fun SA_Forlon did a good job and Crysis and Azimut took over later. Anytime again. At least this way its more fun than this constant arguing about crap
Still. I want M's butt grilled on my plate, served by plastic surgery chicks from planet Prophecy.

btw. Tarsus has not changed within the last 3 days, I constantly pay a visit, even on my own. Cause I'm not a chicken.
