    Piracy in 3.6.2

    I found this, "The Bounty Hunter Armor Set was originally planned for 3.7 but has been re-prioritized to align the asset release alongside the Bounty Hunting gameplay (Bounty Mission NPC Improvements & PVP Bounties) coming in 3.9."...

    Where exactly did I say that carriers should fly faster than fighters?

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    Well that's not gaming the system. I mean a group who commit crimes, but not always at the same time, so there's always at least one person who can look like a legit bounty hunter. But they're friends, and share the bounties they collect. They could even rotate a few times, who's going to...

    Hurricane Watch 2 - Its all over

    Well, I don't like this kind of stuff too much. It's in my front yard, and would be in my back yard except for the live oaks that are dropping small bits all over the place. No real danger except for flash floods, power failure and the occasional pissed off squirrel.

    Hurricane Watch 2 - Its all over

    3 days? Sometimes? When I was a kid it was only 1 day and only occasionally. Then we had over 4.4 meters of snow (not an exaggeration, about 14 1/2 feet) so now... we're talking quite the heat wave.

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    Read the first two words of what I wrote.

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    I am of pretty much the same opinion. To me, that isn't really piracy, that's an invasion and occupation (maybe by people who see themselves as pirates) ... but that is not necessarily describing griefing, that's a legitimate claim and challenge in a PVP game.

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    yeah, it had just struck me, a little slowly, but what is the safety against gaming the bounty system?

    Great article on the X-15

    Well, it is! Very Kerbal, in fact you almost expect one of the pilots to be named "Jeb"

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    A thought passed through my brain... don't ask... At what point does the pirate turn himself in for the bounty? That's well said by the way.

    The Freelancer isn't exactly fast compared to the Connie, but which one to use is an individual thing. I use the Connie regularly, but I also use a Freelancer DUR or Max, and sometimes a Cutlass Black. For some reason, CIG seems to think that a larger ship should be slower just because it's...

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    A single pad ramming, or maybe a couple in a row might be a player trying to learn how to fly. Some are awful, in fact once I ... being kind of distracted due to a teenager crisis behind me... crashed into PO and my ship stuck into the lobby. To me, griefing in a PVP game is more about...

    Welcome to TEST. I also had a 2600, and a Coleco Telstar, gawd that was '77? My little brother learned to eat jalapeno peppers playing the Atari 2600.

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    That would be kind of funny if someone found me and tried that. I'm usually flying a ship with a lot of missiles, and I'm not adverse to collisions. I discovered that a mining laser makes an incredible weapon a while ago too, and there's virtually no risk there because I don't lose anything...

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    I don't think SC will be overly competitive, but there will be plenty of opportunity for a lot of game play style. I just think that in SC, any player who strays out of their comfort zone needs to be aware of, and accepting of the risks and rewards. At the same time, any player who doesn't...

    Piracy in 3.6.2

    It was just a comment, not a criticism. I notice them too. But I also notice the "ever so brave" souls that hang out at the PO exit from Daymar. I used one of these fellas, who had fired two missiles at me at near point blank and missed... to work out how to use a Prospector mining laser to...

    Excuse me, I was distracted by a photo, and couldn't find the Post button for a few. Welcome to TEST!

    I wish that wasn't such a broad brush stroke there, but I totally get where the sentiment comes from.
