    Well I have found that when there are 45-50 players on line even my guns are struggling, so cds and missiles have no chance.

    I had completed 3041 missions and log off. When I logged back on again I found I had only completed 3012. I carried on doing missions and logged off after doing 4 more. When I logged back on again I was back to 3012. I tried this once more with exactly the same result. Is 3012 the maximum number of missions you can do please?

    Welcome and like others I hope all goes well for you. I noticed that some members of your clan do not have all of their characters tagged, this should be corrected. I have noticed this with other clans too. Clans should remember that all members must carry the clan tag.

    I have been to 146 systems, and visited 301 dockable bases, according to my own database. However, only 297 will appear on your base count and list of bases shown on your map. Why I do not know. I also have been though 225 JHs but 2 of them are closed at the moment and will only appear if the dynamic universe is reinstated. There may be more bases but these are the numbers I have details of.

    OP, option 6 is entirely my point. I might disagree with the 500 limit but I had no problem in following the rule. My point is that many players were just ignoring the rule and yes we should make everyone follow the rules. The problem is that there are no server police, so we are reliant on players being honourable and that is what I asked for, see the last sentence of my original post.

    Ok so now I am really hacked off and I am going to say what I know the majority of players feel but are just not stating it. OP reduced the number of units a train could carry to 500, which quite frankly meant that it was just not possible for players to earn enough credits to pay for their ships and equipment in a reasonable period of time. Many players just do not have the luxury of spending hours on line to earn credits. Most players want to have fun and for many that means pvp. To undertake role-play is costing too much in relation to the rate at which credits can now be earned. So what is happening? Players are ignoring the rule and are multi-docking to overcome the 500 unit maximum. Please do not say this is not happening because it is on a wide scale. Now this is just ridiculous, for those who are obeying the rules, granted it is not many, this is unfair.



    So please until the rate at which players can earn credits is sorted and the ability to have the rules enforced is put in place, can all players have the opportunity to multi-dock without penalty?



    Also, rules are being made up as we go along which is confusing and not all players are aware of the rules which have crept in through various threads on forum. This is not very satisfactory and I think that for any rule to be enforceable it has to be formally put in the rules. I do not think we can carry on like this, it is unfair and unworkable. This is a great mod and whilst I think the 500 limit is wrong, I do respect OP’s wishes, it is he who has spent uncountable hours developing it, it is he who is paying for and maintaining the server. Let us, not OP, get this sorted and play the game in a fair and honourable way.

    OK. This is what I do in the example quoted. If I can’t remember, which is more often than not, I have one character which has been to every station and every jh (well I think I have). I switch to that character, pull up the map, click on the stations icon, and sort in the order appropriate to the enquiry. Click on a station in the system required and problem solved. Or, plan B, create yourself a list for easy reference.

    • Thanks OP I had misinterpreted your repair list, (stupid boy), now where did I leave my head? It helps with other things as well now. :thumbsup:

    Yes Abras it did, probably because I have not been there for some time. I posted this in case others with stores in NY were blistfully unaware of the situation and as you say could lose their stores.

    Ok go to planet Los Angeles and buy any cargo which is not on the list as shown on the map and you will get kicked. I have reproduced this at other locations but know for a fact the 2 other players have experienced the same problem, because I asked them to try it. I have also found at other locations, that if can launch with a commodity not on list, if you then redock and sell the commoditiy and then try and launch you get kicked.



    I have seen many players being kicked this morning and for those that are, to get out of the problem just dump your cargo.

    Ok so what is shown on the map is logical and correct. However, it still is also correct that when you buy a commodity which is not show as for sale on the map you get kicked. I have asked 2 other players to try this at planet Los Angeles and they have both been kicked. However, when they buy any commodity which is shown on the map they are fine. I am not trying to be clever here, but I am trying to be helpful. This is a genuine problem.

    I am getting kicked when I purchase certain commodities. When you interrogate the commodities for sale via the map, it does not always agree with the commodities which are actually being sold. If you purchase a commodity at the base which is shown on the map interrogation as being for sale, then you are fine. If however you buy a commodity which is not shown as for sale on the map interrogation, but is actually for sale at the base, when you launch you get kicked for cheating. I hope this is of some use.

    I can launch my APC, thanks OP. However, I have lost my adv champ shield. Has the APC shield slot been downgraded or perhaps it was never meant to have this grade shield in the first place? Also the slot for the shield does not show what grade of shield is capable of being mounted. Information on this would be appreciated.
