Need to consider what wiping credits to a player at 150 has adverse affect on (at least to 1k like you mentioned) Take an ammo user for example. That doesnt even equal enough to build a single stack of ammo to go hunt. Perhaps 500k - 1M? Its hard to come up with a number that doesnt skew things at this point tbh. Im all for jumpstarting an economy but little swayed in the ways if majority players are in the 150 range and are reset to zero on credits only. Try purchasing some Ballista Ammo comps with 1k let alone being able to push the manufacture button, thats not counting the other 5 guns.
Usually by 150 you have started to amass a bankroll so it would be hard pressed to throw you down to nothing. Understand at lower levels obviously income is slower and earned with a certain degree. Then again I could argue both sides I suppose, sure wipe away, just means the beamers will come out in force to farm and raise the credits where necessary, but then that leaves out all those ammo users who may/may not have a beam user under their belt. I'd ultimately suggest this to include the PWIPE as a whole if we're resetting things to adjust one area but then in turn creating other issues.
Sure though PWipes can/will drive away players not looking to go through the grind again, but there's the age old saying you can't please everyone (with any decision). Just hard facts of life.
Thats just my humble opinion though PWIPE entirely - but other things need to be fixed well before this really comes to fruition. Mob loot tables need corrected, correct items in relation to game need to be dropping, because when all these builders who mainly gained fortune/fame from Hulkfest go missing items that never intentionally dropped, the playerbase will feel neglected as well. Ya I probably could sit here and write an entire book about ways forward and pros/cons on each.
For now lets not worry about an economy in a stress test situation where we are trying to actually fix game mechanics and server stability, The Economy is something that is more towards a "Live" state if you will as far as a concern/problem (again my opinion) to be worrying about. I've said before, I'm more concerned with getting the game stable to login and play than someone's credit situation, more so I'm more concerned with Missions, Mob Loot, and the likes being righted before we go attacking an economy concern, those are things technically the Staff should be worrying about. Don't forget, item value and drop rate of loot is way skewed too so I would say it would last perhaps a good week before people have re-amassed fortunes and put us right back into the scheme of free givings (if no PWIPE entirely and loot not fixed).
Ok gnite up way to late! -
That is the reactor taught at the end of Stage I Reactors. The Theodosius is the start of Stage I chain and the other 2 items you listed are Stage II stuff (which can be done separate/without doing Stage I so to speak). Vegato should be the one to teach it to you provided you show him something he is looking for in the form of a L4 Device from a PS
to start the mission to obtain that print.

Also,
Don't forget that the Road Runner (not the plus) gives a respectable boost to shield patch and it is available and in game. Also at higher levels you have various other items to give the same buff all culminating in the Prismatic Dragon Wing - the TTs ultimate shield recharge buff.

Funny though the L6 Guardian does more than a L8 RR for that skill hehe. -

Looks like some of the Comms closets on my various trips to the sandbox! -
Highest is 6. No clue when others will come in. And TTs get up to L8 devices, L9 devices was just part of EAs original template method of make a device 1-9 (regardless of putting any thought into the fact who could / couldn't equip it).
There's a EA Dev name that rang out... Taliskar (from what I recall he was incharge of items) a clueless to the world individual - Personally met on couple different occasions and had zero knowledge of the games actual play imo! -
Poof... Got outta work for nuttin :/

Coldfuzion here! For some reason I signed up on this new forum last year as Whisperfang (my sort of current online name) I still mostly go by Efflixi. During 2009 I was a Dev on this project but was unable to keep doing the work and had to go inactive. At some point it looks like all the accounts were wiped from the forums and we had to start over. (I don't remember any of this!)
Anyway, I'm back and while I'm not sure I have time to be a Dev I certainly want to try playing again!
[/quote]
Haha Wassup Coldfuzion! Funny story if you happen to find yourself back in game let me know
Would love to share...

Awww was hoping it was a random new explorer into the FB... Was gonna say "Call a cab!"
-
Some actually do say "Write this down" cuz I aint sayin it again haha. But rule of thumb anything B puts out take some notes cuz they definitely want you use your noggin.

Well seeing as he is more a trader than a warrior wouldn't Hull Patch be a more reasonable skill JD,PW and TE all have the Repair Equipment. Some will point out the TS has Hull Patch... Not sure but to me its a trader skill not an explorer skill and hope the only rebuttal isnt that the TS has Hull Patch so no (perhaps the TS needs looked at in that aspect of removing it? I dunno), I wouldnt mind seeing Hull Patch on both the JS and PP but thats probably wishful thinking.
Another skill wow they seem to be pretty solid imo, how many are they missing and would some they have be taken away? As said I think the PP tanks, builds, dps, heals pretty darn good! -
Oh one more lil helper.
These guys are the main mission holders/print givers for most of the stuff. They are broken down by discipline.
Vegato = Reactors
Scuti = Shields
Vasi = Devices
Telum = Weapons/Ammo
Composita = pretty obvious Comps lol
These guys are just kinda just related to stuff done with those listed above. I call them Exam/Tester quest givers, I'll explain the differences. Exams are the entrance exams for Stage II. Tester is when they want you to test what you have built or a PW has to on certain later ones as well as one earlier.
Inquiro = Exams
Invorate (sp? basically only one left not on list/in lounge). = Tester
Always remember to take your time and read everything these NPCs say because your mission log isn't always going to tell you exactly what/where/when to do things, it will have been provided during the mission chat trees so clickin away next next etc will guarantee your confusion and getting lost. As mentioned above doing this always has info on the next mission/step to go do as well rather than the NPC sayin ok give me X to start mission Y type deal. It all requires some focused attention
GL and again just ask in General/Market for Agrippa Mission folks I'm sure one of us are bound to pop an answer (just be patient though as there are only a handful atm who have gone all the way thru, others are working on em just like you), so we may not always be on spot for immediate answer. -
Your faction is plenty. As far as Comps go, your done with that. You should be talking to either Scuti/Telum/Vegato (No name shown), for any further missions in Stage II.
Questions.
Did you do all of Stage I in its entirety for I'm assuming a PP (Shields/Reactors/Weapons)? Way to quickly know is you received a Expert Builder card for each discipline and a symbol of loyalty, plus there are several prints that would be under the PPs belt as well majority of all this stuff is at the very bottom of build list (so makes it easy to find.
STAGE I - PP
Comps - L1 Collegia Research Authorization MXXIC, L3 Hull Mesh Laminate III
Shields - L3 Skirmish Shield I, L2 Amplector Omega, L5 Seco Secare Secui Sectum Quinque, Stage II Invite - Shields
Reactors - L5 Auctoritas Remoror Quinque, Stage II Invite - Reactor
Weapons - L2 Calthius Omega Beam, L5 Multiforus Multiplico Effervo Quinque (MMEQ) PL, Stage II Invite - Weapons
Ammo - L2 Blowgun Toxicum Dart, L5 Effervo Flechette
Kicking off some of the missions requires you to have specific items that are detailed from a prior missions ending talk tree. The NPC giving the mission isn't gonna tell you what you need to get him to talk as you were suppose to catch that info from the last NPC. Just remember ALL this stuff connects, missions, all progens, all items etc. Its a giant spiderweb of interwoven pain lol. My advice is always have double-triple of each thing requested/doing at every step o the way cuz you will most likely need it again.
Find myself or several other folks in game who can provide guidance/assistance with the missions as we've all gone thru the pain chamber and completed these from Stage I,II and III. -
I just created sigs for my guys and all seemed to work, cept the JE and JD are reporting incorrectly. They are both max 150 and have all upgrades yet they are being reported as Master and Lai'Shao instead of GrandMaster and KenShao like they are in game. I tried regenerating several times but no joy. Not like its a big deal or anything but just postin for post sake.

In the past 2 days I have personally ran at least 8 fishbowls with a 6 man raid successfully in 30-40mins start to finish, no CTDs and very very minimal lag (and believe me we we're pounding the mobs with tons of AOEs all 4 PWs were firing Shield Sap and Shield Nova constantly, the only place we so any noticeable lag (although not game ruining) was on Nesshix Spawn who formerly use to be the CTD King!
Group was 6 people and maybe had 1-3 pickers outside the group in the bowl with us. As Lannister mentioned its important to have Packet Optimization checked (not sure Reorder plays any role) but I always have both checked anyhow. And I honestly the FB can be done with a 4-6man group so perhaps running with more than 1 group in the zone could be the cause for lag as well? Most I've ever had in is maybe 2 groups (2nd group purely low level looters if any as they were not needed to kill the Raid).-

How can Jen and Terran comp builders get the ammo comp print? There are no stage II/III invites for comps.
[/quote]
Not required. -
I'll take his head!
-
So you gonna change the missions to give the blueprint instead of a looted component to analyze B?
-
Closin the Gap there a bit Lann Well you have the opportunity to overtake as Im still missing some them hulkfest items (failed a couple you tried to help provide as well
) Bummer such as it be...
Thanks Slayer for the update! -
The one you refer to Eviticus is infact the first part of a chain that leads up to a weapon. But as mentioned at L50 all you get print wise are ammo samples. Further missions (and at different levels) will net what you seek.

Since I currently have two of my toons in Agrippa hell - the thought that you are having problems brings a smile to my face.

Hahahahaha I am now wiping the soda spray off my laptop! -
Is there a way to change this? Upon any login/crashing outside/inside a station. Your reactor, engine and shields are reinstalled. Inside a station is fine. But say your in the middle of a Fishbowl, and CTD, to come back in you die because while your loading on your end, on the server (MOB) end they see you pants down and aim for penetration! So by time you load your dead (since you came in with no shields, no reactor juice etc.
Rather annoying especially with all the CTDs etc still occuring, is there any way to get this so your shields and stuff dont require reinstallation with every login? -
Awww.... This guy counts Lann

And no, we intentionally hid things because we want you to discover it on your own. You're all welcome to make your own databases and share them, but we want to encourage the community to do things like this, not rely on a direct database connection to read out all the details of the game to you.
Perfect explanation! No spoon/silver platter... Go explore and find it!
Flip side, maybe, just maybe offer another line in the net-7 db - for IN-GAME/NOT-IN-GAME? dunno if that would be to much either but save a little frustration I suppose. But definitely no need to give an X Marks the spot location to drops, thats up to the playerbase to figure out (if they deem necessary to create a site think Guardians of Capella in live had the most intricate playerbased database, then go for it!)

The one thing I noticed different from my installs when talkin with Magoo was he used the original game discs where i had downloaded the enbdemo from here. But honestly that shouldn't of mattered just making mention that was the only thing that differed from all the installs I've done/helped with.
