I've been thinking about you all lately.
I've been playing Raid, Shadow Legends.
A shout out to Woodstock, Kenu, Kyp and to all the old players that just found this EMU, It's good eh !?

Hello jrichards I did all of that all I got was a 3 second spinning wheel and nothing popped up, it wouldn't run at all from ANY location.
I did manage to get it to work. I'm going to put up everything I did to get it to work, it's probably a little redundant. But here goes.
When I decided to reinstall the game for a third time, I made certain I right clicked on everything that is required to install and run the game,AND Clicked "Run As Administrator" I crossed all the "Ts" and Dotted the "I" this time.
Here goes. this is for some of the people that may not be so PC savvy.
This is everything that worked for me.
Windows 10Open any folder short cut on your desk top ie; documents
Scroll down to OS(c:) click OS(c:) once
In the new right window, double click "Program files x86"
Double click "EA games"
Double click "Earth and Beyond"
Double click "EBCONFIG"Look for "E&B Config"
Right click on the "E&B Config" and click Send to----click on "Desktop (create short cut)"
Close all your windows and programs you might have running.Go to your desktop.
Right click on the new "Earth and Beyond Configuration" short cut you just created.Click on the "Compatibility" tab
✓ the "Run this program in Compatibility mode"
Use the arrow down and select "Windows XP (service Pack 2)"
Below that window
✓ "Run This program as Administrator"
✓ "Register this product for restart"
Click Apply
Click OK
I did one other thing it was a little silly, that may or may not of had an in pack on the outcome.
Thanks Blacklung I just saw your reply as I just finished up.
How are things BL, I hope all is well with you and the team.

Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 21H2
Installed on 10/4/2021
OS build 19044.1826
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0No matter what I do I can't get the earth and Beyond Game Configuration to work or the game window bigger than 8x8 or full screen on a 22" LED screen.
Is there anyone that can help make it work? -
Hello all, I hope all is well.
I never stopped thinking about you all.
I am currently playing Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC)
Yes it is PvP, yes it is free to play, it has in game purchases.
I am playing on server/Galaxy 79-Reliant.STFC has taught me somethings about PvP.
Star Trek Fleet Command has got nothing on this Emulator.
Earth and Beyond Emu is a much better game. IMHO it lacks one thing, Elective PvP that IS NOTserver wide. I will always believe that E&B would be an ideal PvP game in the way that I have designed it
And from YOUR input.
Again my opinion probably doesn't matter BUT, Stay here, this EMU rocks!
Luv

I was thinking about you pilots and DEVs, thought I would stop in and say hi. Hi
I have been moved to day shift at RR Donnelley, still on the 12 hours shifts 5 days a week
and every other Saturday for 8 hours.
It really does suck that a job is your life now, the benefits and pay are to good to walk away from.
Living in the mid-west the weather is bringing out the birds and the sun is coming up earlier.
But the day light savings time negates that, I will only get better.
Soon™ I'll try to get out and do some fishing and camping, I hope....
I hope this day finds you in good spirits and good health.
Take care my friends and wash your hands, you don't know where those fingers have been on
that community key board.

Shameless bump.

Woodstock, It was nice to see another EBer in person.
If and when my brutal hours change at work I hope to be back playing and working on the game, if the DEVs will still have me.
They say will be on a 3 shift routine by the end of July, I'm not going to hold my breath.
Have fun with your JD, they are a fun class to play.
I may try to get on this Tuesday.
Feel free to post your pictures from the other day if you would like.

I'm glad I got to see the Eglin base and plane, I'm also glad I got my beer steins from the officers bar, the other stein has my name on it as does this post.
I'll always remember them. -
Some information for you guys, you may know already.

Woodstock
"When can this be..." Tis not up to me...
I'm dead, all I do/can do is work, eat, sleep, sht..and occasionally shower.
I hope to get back to it some day.
Absolutely, nothing has been done for PvP. (That I know of..
)
Other than what I have on paper. There's a hint in theses threads on how i'd/it may start. -

yeck no looting damage or death pen. Pure fun or maybe a escrow deal for bet items or creds as in no welching on bets but head lol
Mostly i just want to be able to kill players lol
I like that, If you enter a PvP zone you have to "fee up front" before you enter. To cover my eventual death(s), say anywhere from non-refundable 500,000 to 2 million credits (Player level dependent), with a per incapacitate/Death cost of $100,000 to $500,000 .

I only remember pvp in the arena. I played from Beta until they switched the servers off.
Just dropped by to say that a huge amount of work is required for pvp to take place.
It isn't just flicking a switch to make players viable targets.
True.
If there were loot tables and equipped item damage.
Stage one PvP
First set of code: Shoot player
Second set of code: Debuff player. (Skills and item debuff)
We could have a lot of fun with just this above.
Below is where the largest amount of code would come.
Stage two PvP.
Third set of code: Loot player.
Server would have to search for the dead players race, profession, items in cargo hold, and available credits -%lootcredits
If a player has nothing in their hold a default loot drop table for common and semi-rare (MAYBE !) items.
Stage three PvP:
equipped Item % damage.
Server would have to look at dead players items and calculate damage percentage based on damage received and type.
All of this including the PvE code ??
But hey, what do I know.

How hard would it be to turn on pvp ?
Turning on PvP IIRC, wouldn't, couldn't or shouldn't be hard, But I honestly don't know.
Guide lines for the PvP have to be set first, this includes: Damage, reward, loss and gains, and/or new sector(s) or server.
Some time ago the DEVs did a Vrix raid in the Jupiter sector, where the DEVs were flying Vrix ship(s).
This was in Stress Test #1 of 3. Its been so long ago that I don't remember if my equipment sustained % damage.
But I do know there were casualties.
The issue with PvPvE is:
1) The current game environment, balance and code has never been programed for sector (ONLY) PvP.
PvP server wide IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. That is one thing the entire EMU community agrees on.
2) A lot of the Emulator community can not stand the possibility of a EVE like scenario, with childish bolstering and head hunting. (I have painted a large target on my ship.)
3) A majority of the EMU community want to see the original Earth and Beyond content restored to it's former glory, before ANY PvP content is worked on or implemented.
4) Real life cost. Having a new server for PvP players for only half of the player base doesn't, in some eyes, this doesn't make economical sense.
I don't know if you played Earth and Beyond in EA live Novaflare. The Arena, when there was a battle ready to start there was IIRC a count down, just before the challengers 1 on 1 or group challenges entered the arena.
Again, I don't know how Westwood or Electronic Arts had the Arena set up, meaning, was the Arena on a different server or on a separate partition or separate drive on the same PvE server.
There are probably 2-3 DEVs that could answer that question more accurately than I.
I have just answered what the EMU community has said.
I have on paper what and how the "Joint Maneuvers" or "War Games" or PvP would start, (Game content mission chain).
The Orion sector I have here in this thread will always be the preferred (By me and some others) PvPvE battle ground. Small enough to get around, large enough to get lost and not seen and a Race starting sector safe zones for leveling and practice. (Should a PvP character be born in PvP).-

I would love to see pvp in a arena setting. For get all the medals of valor and rewards this would spoil the fun. Just have arena where you can pummel each other with no xp debt. PVP is also a great way to test out your builds and weapon load outs. We can talk dps dpm etc all day long but it is much much easier to test a weapon set up in 1 v 1 pvp as you can know exactly what the other player has. As for the comments on 2 jes dueling it out try any 2 jenqs period esp if both are using directional fold warp fire fold etc. It gets to be quite funny to watch.
I was just thinking about PvP again, every time that the constellation of Orion comes to view in the winter sky.
To add to your Jenquai's doing Pvp a cartoon.

"It's now very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well so fucking what." - Stephen Fry
You should of heard what they said when I suggested renaming Uranus to Urectum. j/k.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you.
Ask just about anyone, I am the Jenquai.
Ask yourself, What roll will my character play today?
Then equip your Jenquai accordingly.
DON'T equip your Jenquai for any combination of trade, mining, support, energy and combat.
You heard the saying "Go big or go home". deck out your Jenquai fully for the task at hand.
The Jenquai Explorer has the biggest array of equip-able devices in the game.
No other mining class has the survive-ability of the Explorer in an hostile environment, while mining.
With the addition of the additional wormholes, choosing a place to mine and fight with a "Improved Wormhole" device,
make playing a JE much more fun.
Make sure you have a Coma device installed if your in a combat scenario, it should (soontm) negate the "See Cloak" of some mobs.
The Jenquai Seeker, IMO is one of the best healers in terms of survive-ability.
Add some the Jenquai only, Trader "only" equipment like the Chimaera's AND the Manticore's you have a very versatile
Character.
The Jenquai Seeker can heal-cloak-heal-cloak works the same way as the way Fire-cloak-fire-cloak in that it
wipes aggro just long enough for your Warrior or the main group healer to grab back the mobs aggression.
The Jenquai Defender has the highest BURST DPS in the game.
The Jenquai Defender has nearly an infinite amount of energy while in combat.
A Jenquai Defender can steal (If need be) the Aggession from ANY character class in the game.
The Defender can supply EVERY players character in group with energy simultaneously within a 5k range of the Defenders target.
The Defender uses the Energy Drain-Cloak like they would Fire-cloak.
I'm going to provide you two links for your next Jenquai that your working on (Jenquai Defender).
The second link will help you equip your character for the task at hand.
Defenders Guide
This next link you have to log on to the site with the same information you use to enter the forums.
https://www.net-7.org
Click on the character you want to equip or test and then click on the weapon, engine, reactor, device or shield then replace
the item with something from your wish list. You'll have to play around with the app until you get use to it's use.
This is fun in itself.-
