  • RIP Neil Armstrong

    R.I.P. Neil. You have inspired hundreds of thousands all over the world. You and your words will be remembered for generations to come well into the future of "Mankind".

  • Missions/Quests

    Just my two cents worth but I also enjoyed the longer
    quests/missions. If the time it takes is a complaint, what about
    increasing the cruise speed if that is possible. I note that regardless
    of the ship you fly, max speed at cruise is 450. Maybe bump that to 900.
    I also don't know if this is by design or ??? but the Coalition and DK
    trade lanes are at 3500 while the Sirius lanes are 2500. Can the Sirius
    lanes be bumped up or is that a limitation of FL? Don't know some of the
    background, just throwing ideas (maybe old) out there. OK, I'll shut up
    now and go back to what I was doing.

    I've forgotten where but there are some areas where the mission coordinates are missing. I submitted either a Trouble ticket or something I put in the thread I started about "content and continuity". I will dig around for the original and submit/post it again. the mission description reads something like, "fly to (blank space) and kill all Rouges" or something like that. I will advise soonest.

    LoneWolf - What Op is saying that specific station identities are needed. Not all Coalition stations have these issues. It is easier to make the fixes when it is known which specific station has what problem. You can use the Ticket system to open a trouble ticket when you discovery a station with an issue. If fact any problem or issue can be addressed that way. Gives us something to use to track what needs work! :)

  • Financial Crisis - again...?

    You all have touched on some of the reasons that this current "crisis" is happening and you all are in part correct. The "mistake" (but planned) made in 08 was the bailouts. Those organizations that were in trouble should have been allowed to fail. It would have forced reorganization of their respective corporations, cleaning up of their financial house (shrinking the overinflated salaries and packages of the management staffs) and re branding of the product, if there was one. Unfortunately the public was convinced that it would be doomsday for us all if that were to happen. BS! Things are worse now than they were then and this will happen again unless there are major changes made and it may take the people deciding they have had enough of feeding the prized cow the produces nothing. Anyone listening to Mr. Obama better go back and look at his past and what he did and didn't do while he was a state senator and his first term as senator and how he voted and his speeches. Lots of clues there. He is a socialist. He believes in a world order and it is not one where everyone gets along but one where only certain elitists are in charge (power) because they think they know better than anyone else.


    But one needs to look even further back than 08. You need to look back to the Lay Energy bust which was followed by the Telcom bust lead by one Berny Ebbers, Dave Meyers and Scott Sullivan of WorldCom. They slowly took over small telcos until they got big enough to go after one of the big ones, MCI. MCI was in negotiations with British Telecom (BT) on a merger that would have been one of the first in the world that didn't negatively impact the employees. The reason, while MCI would have access to the market covered by BT for data products (which at the time MCI's were the best) and BT would have access to provide long distance coverage to the EU they each would have had to expand their workforces in those areas. One joint company providing worldwide communication for voice and data. Instead WorldCom (Berny & company) went to the top three in MCI and offered them an overinflated deal that was all stock. (the BT deal was cash and stock and not overinflated.) It was at that point that the founder of MCI, William G. McGowan must have been turning over in his grave to realize that he had turned the company over to the wrong three before he pasted away. He was about growing, not getting bought out. The top three took their stock and ran, and I do mean ran. Within 6 months of the merger close they had dumped their stock on the market, got their 3 digit millions for it and left the company which now was known as MCIWorldcom. Less than a year later the name was changed again, the stock had plummeted and company 401Ks had shrunk to nothing and a few months later or two years after the merger, the company was gone, bankruptcy failed because by then the Ebbers and company were found out to be criminals and are now in prison. The other part of the story; well one of the big stock houses that was involved in the mess in 08, was at the bottom of the Worldcom mess as well. But instead of dealing with them then, they got a slap on the wrist from the govt. So they figured they could do it again, and you have 08!


    This has all played right into the hands of the "single world order" folks like Mr Soros. The liberal media loves him but pull the current back and see what is really there.
