    Attracting trouble / warfare theory crafting

    This is realistic this is unrealistic Never underestimate the ignorance of gamers. 95% of them never use the forums - they only know what their org mates and IRL friends know. There are 11,000 of us, and 1,500,000 of them When you say, "Fool, I'm in TEST, don't you know who we are?" they will...

    me too But there are limits to what CIG can do differently. They can put better anti-griefing mechanics in place in policed space, but, by definition, they can't control player behavior in lawless space. And it's naive to think that all the meanies will be playing Eve while the kinder, gentler...

    TEST Mead bottle caps

    I was so sure the caps were screwed on loosely enough! I was too lazy to run a tube from a proper stopper into a jar of water, which is cheap and works great

    If I'm really exhausted I can sleep through the urges that normally wake me after 3 or 4 hours and I was right around your age when it started happening to me :disappointed_relieved:

    When you get tired of replacing ships you will either confine yourself to safe space or adopt NBSI just sayin' :skull: experience is the antidote for idealism You won't see others as you warp around. But you can figure that anyone you come across hanging out at a station or choke point is not...

    Any idea when Multi crew will get more attention?

    As I understand it, the crew in a ship are in a separate instance from the one the ship is in. Syncing nested instances was one of the Hard Problems CR said needed to be solved before 3.0 could go live. I expect multi-crew to be limited/buggy for some time yet.

    Unlawful space is unlawful. How does it break immersion if some random asshat attacks you? The only sane options when you come across a stranger with offensive capabilities are fight and flight

    So who is picking up a limited ship before the cut off Nov 26th?

    get off my lawn, you miserable adolescent whippersnapper! :imp::japanese_ogre::space_invader:

    If you haven't earned a bounty by engaging in criminal behavior, you will be safe in policed space. CIG is seriously anti-griefing, they will make effective consequences to protect you there. Once you leave policed space, no amount of good reputation will make you any safer. There is a reason...

    haha, I vote for, "Nice system, we'll take it!" I'm here for the PVP, I'm fine with making enemies

    Attracting trouble / warfare theory crafting

    This instancing will be problematical and immersion-breaking. My guess is that no org will be able to fill more than half the available slots in any one instance, so they can't eliminate the possibility of attack. But that could be easily circumvented by filling an instance with alt characters...

    pantsless head-first rappelling is an advanced skill I'm surprised they teach it so early in your training

    I know the feeling One summer we did a vacation rental on the Mission Beach boardwalk in San Diego. I literally threw my neck out from scoping out the babes in thong bikinis strolling by one after another. Trying to find a chiropractor on a Sunday was no fun :-(

    Who will fill the rest of your crew?

    I want humans manning the guns and missiles when I take my Freelancer MIS into combat. One big advantage of joining a large org is having a deep talent pool to draw from. On any given evening I may fly a single-seater, the MIS, or join someone else's crew.
