  • X-3043 Jump Gate

    If you are playing MP then beware of most of the ways in to X as they tend to go through clan systems. Tohoku is DC clan system (characters over 40th lvl need to ask any DC member if they may enter).

  • EM Ancalagon unavailable

    I will be unavailable to run Top Gun this week (13th October 2009).


    If any other player is able to take over this event for this week then please do so. Contact me if you need help or advice.

  • Modding concept ideas

    A mining ship, good cargo hold, strong armour but weak offensive capabilities and poor handling. This ship has a special weapon that does a small amount of damage in a large area, just enough damage to turn space dust in to commodities but no use as an offensive weapon. Couple this with a few good mining areas with hostile NPCs so that the mining ship would require a fighter escort to survive.


    Some sort of EMP device (possible a mine with a 1 second fuse) that, when activated, disrupts all scanners within range. So a craft that is being pursude has a chance to disrupt scanner and escape. Obviously best used in nebular where visibility is reduced. Target lock would also need to be lost (as happens when you enter a trade lane).


    Jump gates/trade lanes that are hositle to you, will not let you use them. Possibly limit this to JG/TLs that can shoot at you (ie have some kind of friend or foe system).


    Special missions where the reward is (unique and desirable) equipment rather than pay.


    Equipment that when purhased is mounted and cannot be unmounted. When buying a new ship it is either automatically mounted on the new ship or is sold with the old ship. So if players want this equipment they must get it themselves rather than being able to get it from a store.


    Special radiation shielding (or a variant on the armour upgrade) coupled with JH/JG is areas of extremely high radiation (high rad systems, areas in systems or JH/JG very near to suns). These JH/JG being the only way to access special systems, trade routes, etc.

  • Modding concept ideas

    Trade prices that reflect the actions of players. Bases that sell a lot of a commodity increase their price as demand is high and eventually run out of the comodity to sell. Bases that buy, reducing their price as demand is satisfied. Bases that don't get any trade changing their price to attract trade.


    Ammo, bots & bats not being limited to a set amount but take up cargo space. Thus making cargo space a critical part of any fighter.


    Clan bases that clans can stock with weapons, ammo and equipment. Possible also stock pile commodities to be sold when prices are higher. Make these bases destroyable. Add NPCs and Weapons platforms that can be hired/purchased to help defend the base. Sensor systems that can detect system invaders and notify players. Also have some commodity or equipment (H-fuel or bots/bats) which can be stocked on the base that will power the bases shield, so a well stocked base can endure a long attack and it would take an enemy multiple attacks to take down plus a blockade to stop it being restocked. Very slow engines so the base can be moved and invaders would have to find it before attacking (these can be very slow). Ore processing facilities so clans can bring in one commodity and process it into a different, high priced commodity. (Oops, getting carried away, had better stop now)

    Enlighten me Diablo, why is this "A brilliant idea"?


    All I can think of are reasons why it would be a disaster for the server.

  • Funny joke

    A man wakes up one morning to find a gorilla on his roof. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for "Gorilla Removers."


    He calls the number, and the gorilla remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes.


    The gorilla remover arrives, and gets out of his van. He's got ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and a mean old pit bull. "What are you going to do", the homeowner asks? "I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, then I'm going to go up there and knock the gorilla off the roof with this baseball bat. When the gorilla falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not let go. The gorilla will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van."


    He hands the shotgun to the homeowner.
    "What's the shotgun for?" asks the homeowner. "If the gorilla knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog!"

    You should have seen how quickly I paid tax when Lucy told me it was to buy a new bikini :)
