I haven't actually been in the Test discord much, but when I have it's mostly people not in game, which is fine, I'm happy to chat about whatever. But in my limited MP experience the best fun is with a group of people with audio comms. Since 3.0 came out I haven't been blowing up security, or...

Hahaha, well I'm very glad I was a little behind the Hippie wave front, and that we stopped our conscription for Vietnam a few months before my birthday was in the lottery. I think heavy involvement in the trips of either would've rattled my brain loose. But I was able to enjoy the ground...

I like the spirit of that take, but in framing, uhmm justifying the action hhmm I thought that when we produced AI, we didn't strike a good enough bargain on behalf of humanity. After all it wouldn't have happened with out the sacrifice of millions of people, slavery even. And consciously...

I'd been wondering about how easy differentiation between player and npc ships would be, which gets more complicated when it may be an npc ship that has hired a player(s) as crew. Maybe depend a bit on how good your scanning setup is. :) with the right tech, just gotta develop the right...

Thanks for that info and link. Addressing some of that and what Printimus mentioned below - what I've outlined above doesn't run foul of the forces against griefing as quoted by you. CR fully expects and CIG is making piracy a player option. For sure, the account that engages in cargo mining...

:grin: First off, please excuse faults of name spelling in what follows. I'm old enough to remember a TV show called something like 'Dobie Gillis maybe Gillus, a college aged guy, sitcom type of thing. Now Dobie had a side kick mate, called Maynard G Krebs, Maynard was not only a side kick, he...

That sentiment does seem a little inconsistent with your handle, but I guess we'll both be on the same side of the law :)

After having a look around the professions here I haven't seen any mention of the piracy specialisation that I was thinking of, i.e. exclusively hitting npc ships. Just a note, my only interest in doing this is to finance other activities. So I guess the answer to my first question may be the...

It's not so much that you're limited to one ship, it's more that you're limited to one body hence one location :)

IMHO the squad is more important than any speciality currently pursued. Admittedly my previous experience in Freelancer is of a small group (say a dozen) doing great things. And this game and this org has the potential for an absolute hoard of people doing mind blowing things. But for organising...

I'm guessing that I'm like many others in that I have a couple of accounts, one of which is going to have a permanent criminal rep. But just considering accounts one at time, there maybe a variety of ship types, say you've logged off in the bed of your cargo ship and next time you come to log on...

Ahhhhhhhh, ohh dear, :) I wish you hadn't put this up, I may vent a bit :) I hardly watch any of Dan's vidz anymore, too painful. Please note I don't regard myself as any sort of hot gamer, but he proclaims some lofty objective or theme then stumbles around and gets distracted by just about...

Staying on your off topic - when I signed up I didn't list all my ships, because even amongst the ones I'm going to keep for sure, they weren't listed as options, haha but I guess as we all know even on an individual basis keeping track of the ships is a bit problematical. And going even more...

Hiya robert, the ink isn't dry on my papers yet either, welcome. I'm in the same time zone as you. Funny, we're both in QLD but I'm probably closer to Sydney than I am to you. I've hardly used Discord yet, but it'll be the shit for getting up to speed on things and working together, cya in the...

Thanks and cheers, cya in the deep.

Haha, hmm yes, can manage both at once myself too. Is that where the 'blind' part of your moniker comes from? :)

Yep good to meet you too. People who're in similar time zones will be crucial for ongoing team work. I was surprised when I scrolled down after my post and saw that I was part of a rash of Aussie sign ups at that time. I've heard there's a bit of an Oz contingent here and that they'd set up an...

Thank you both for the welcome, I'm looking forward to mass actions and crewing for each other, cheers.

Aha, location is the key, once you get as far North as Qld, unless you can afford a $million sea breeze, inland 100km does the trick for lower humidity. The ocean moderates local temperatures well, but inland you get actual winter, a couple of months or so frost prone where I live, which is...
