This is where I end up, black screen saying I am in Hur L5, can't do anything but log out, can't reset my character because it hasn't been 12 hrs since last reset...

Not sure if this would help, however how I got some degree of stability (but no inventory / ships) was to delete my USER folder and then validate my game files in the launcher. It downloaded the manifest which took ages on my connection, then for a split second flashed up with downloading a file and installing a file and then was done. I assume I had one missing or corrupted file, or it didn't actually do anything.

Anyway, my game then worked (enough) to then allow me to rent an ES and get my ass back on to ArcCorp. After this event I'm setting my spawn in one of the orbital stations, being ground-bound is making my blood itch.

Good luck, brave adventurer.

Ya I have done this prolly a dozen times just since 3.9.1 was released hehe, also ran the file verification tool several times. I just think this patch is fubar, some people are just unlucky and I am prolly one of them, I have been reading the forums and its not just me having these issues.

Also I can see why CIG reduced the character reset cooldown to 12 hrs when 3.9 hit, they KNEW this patch was going to be bad and they KNEW people were going to have to reset multiple times to even have a chance to play the game, it says a lot imo when the company has to reduce a reset timer.

When you are able to, do you make a new character or do you go for one of the defaults? I got sick of redoing my ugliface so often I grabbed one of the defaults and didn't bother changing a single thing, that might be a contender to. Also unplug your webcam so Faceware doesn't kick in. That's all I can tell you I did, other than the other stuff.

Best of luck getting in, if you are stuck on New Cabbage and I'm in the same server I'll happily come pick you up if I can rent a ship able to carry more than one person.

Man you really got the short end of the stick with this patch :(
Hope it will improve soon for you!
Ya not sure why, I didn't have to many issues in 3.7 at all, 3.8 was really only 30k issues for me, 3.9 has been a disaster and fleet week imo CIG should be embarrassed at how this has played out, not just the server instability, bugs and stuff but the mircotransactions make them look desperate and fake, almost EAish imo.

I usually just grab a head and do a few randoms and that's it anymore, after a dozen times in the past few days I got sick of it also.

Having an Idris and Kraken in my buy backs I dont need to shit a brick over these F5 wars so all I am interested in this week is how the Redeemer looks and possibly applying my last BMM upgrade to a Gemini.

With JC saying on the last SC live that its planned for capital ships to be so expensive to run with AI that it simply isn’t feasible to run them that way I cant see the point in owning them at all.

Its contrary to what Chris has said down the years that he wants people to be able to use their ships, but here we are.

I mean they always made it clear even from the beginning that capital ships were supposed to be a big endeavor and "endgame" content for an org. It doesnt take a huge leap of logic to think that the biggest most powerful and rare ships are going to have the biggest operational costs.

I just had a crazy thought & if I'm right, I'll feel stupid for not realizing it earlier.

Every year near the end of Nov we have the week long Anniversary sale. If they make the Invictus Launch Week an annual event, then they just doubled the number of week long events & spaced them approx 6 months apart to let us splurge more often. The ships on sale for this event even comes with 10 year insurance as well.

Yeah man. Double the money, double the fun!
Hadn't heard much talk about this. Is the revised Redeemer going to make an Invictus appearance?
That's the rumour. Tomorrow at the Aegis day.

Ya these were never meant for 1 person to own and operate, not saying it can't be done but it was never intended that way, large Orgs will offset these costs easily I said it another thread awhile back, just compare it world of Warcraft guild dues, each player is taxed or charged a guild due on every transaction, usually such a small amount its hardly noticeable and this offsets the running costs of the designated org fleet, now deciding which ships those are will be another issue altogether as so many people own their own capital ships they are going to want their ships designated a org ship to get access to those funds, which is far to many imo, there will have to a limit and standard set as to what ships get access and what org designated operations qualify.

Its gonna be tricky and fun running an org I cant wait to see how it all unfolds, glad I am just bystander!

I can't wait to see the "TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY" and "WHY DOES <insert player here> GET FREE GUNS AND AMMO FOR THEIR IDRIS???" threads
