    *sigh* I wish I had more time to do the designing I'd like to... I've got some fighters I'd like to pitch but I just can't get them built. Hell, I'm still learning how to use the software! *facepalm* Looks real cool, mate! Keep up the awesomeness! ;)

    That could make things interesting, but what about people who own very high value ships, battleship, and are being taxed/fined and simply don't have the funds to pay for it even though their rank is high? In a BS, you'll be around rank 52 to start with, which means you can be taxed 1mil. What if you only have 700k? If I was in that situation, and I simply wouldn't pay tax regardless, I'd stand and fight. If these rules are implemented, how do you pay what you don't have? My proposition is to allow people, in RP, to run. Enough of that "HE'S AVOIDING RP" crap. Why can't people be allowed to run from the pirate? Now, if the person swapped chars, that'd be avoiding RP, but if he sits there at the place where he's "hiding," can't that be allowed?

    I can explain how and why mines cause server lag if anyone besides me cares.


    The server keeps track of everything that moves. Guns, ships, CMs, missiles, mines, NPCs, etc. It also generates these things based on certain inputs or protocols for spawning. Therefor, when you hit your mine dropper button, a signal goes from your PC to the server and says "So-and-so just dropped a mine," the server says, "Okay!" then puts the mine behind your ship. The server then controls where the mine goes, who it locks on to, and when it detonates. When you've got a half a dozen people dropping a mine every .5 seconds, the server starts to have problems. It's the same thing behind lag on mass IC expeditions. It's simply too much for the server to keep up with especially with all the stuff OP has added in.


    As to removing the mines totally, don't do it. They're vital in the IC and against cap ships. Just don't use them in mass PvP. Okay? Good. :D

    Raven, you don't need an LRK. Us USA players need that. You think 105.0.5 is lag? Give me a break.... I always play with a bare minimum of 180.0.5 and usually 225.0.10 so I don't wanna hear that you're lagging..... :P


    As to my wish... Not having to rebuy all our capital ships when 1.9 comes out! I know this probably won't happen but I can dream, can't I? ;)

    SHS, I got four words for ya.




    Be like dat lizard there! Take it from one of the most stubborn *******s in existence, being stubborn will eventually pay off. Unless the other guy decides to hit you... Then you need a gun... OH WAIT!! WE HAVE GUNS ON OUR SHIPS!! Yeah. Don't quit and don't feel depressed about this. So you've got shit going on in RL! Deal with that before worrying about your CF life. C'mon, man. We've got your back. :)


    Now, once heavy RP with the SHADOWS starts, I'll probably come looking for ya! :P

    MAJOR OFF TOPIC CRAP GOING ON HERE!!! Again.... :thumbdown:


    My two cents. SHS, by publicly insulting anyone, especially outside of RP, and declaring that you don't respect them, you're on the fast track to losing any respect you yourself had. Shut up and play the damn game.


    OffTopic
    For the love of Christ, SHS, will you please use your browser's built in spellchecker or download a browser with a built in spell checker? Your posts are nigh on impossible to read and I'm beginning to think you're doing it on purpose... :cursing:

    Got anything other than alcohol for this thing before I move permanently to the Inner Core because YOU HUMANS CAN'T STOP BICKERING WITH EACH OTHER? Take the drink and just get along. There's really no reason for this. *facepalm* I'm so tired of the SSDD. "He shot me!" It sounds like everyone going crying to their mother or something. Can't this SSDD be settled via PMs civilly without the anger? C'mon, guys!


    Gunny, this is not pointed directly at you. It's just more of the same crap... It gets annoying after a while and this bickering is not helping to attract new players or convince new players to stick around.


    Tirade over.

    Bah. You guys don't use anything but battleships in a large fight/smuggling thing. I'm talking about a fleet like the one you'd find in a TE on Freeworlds. Twenty caps of assorted strength, ten plus heavy bombers, and ten plus VHFs. ON EACH SIDE! Now that even was fun. :D :D :D

    Arrow: I've got plenty of ideas for ships, and I'm almost learning how to use Gmax. However, I suck at any kind of art, so my textures are gonna suck. Maybe I can bribe my seester... Anyway, if you want ships, I've got about half a dozen fighters and a cruiser fluttering around in my head, maybe I got one you'll like! :D
