  1. I think I saw a post somewhere in here about Win 10. I think it may have been Magoo.

    It'd probably be similar to the Windows 8 config posted by Magoo. But I'd wait really until the RTM is released for Windows 10 before doing any real testing. The OS is still too much in a state of flux.

  2. I do remember having to actually "mine" the Manes Essence from the Manes corpse. This could be a reason why the refining devices aren't working properly. I'm not 100% but fairly sure the JE could also mine the essence as well but couldn't equip the refining devices.

     

    But back on topic I happen to like the SD change. I think Valeriya will be using it more this iteration.

  4. I'm sure Earth Corps welcomes any and all donations. You may itemize them as charitable contributions on your next year's tax form once all donations have been properly assessed and their fair market value has been determined in writing by a third party at the time of the transaction. You did remember to ask for a receipt right?

  5. To get things started I'll post my characters here:

    Zyrith Skye

    Updated: 21MAR2013
    [spoiler]-Begin Transmission-

    Sky's the Limit

    Name: Zyrith Skye
    Class: Sabine Versatile
    Current Rank: Pedagogue
    Inception Date: (Encrypted: classified Sabura Project, under article SP-Vind)
    Iteration Tree: (Encrypted: First Generation Hybrid Sabine-Sabura Genome classified Sabura Project, article SP-Vind)
    Gender: Female (Encrypted: Beta Caste classified Sabura Project, article SP-Vind)
    Homeland: Porvenir Mons, Endriago Planet
    Education: Advanced placement in Psychology, Astronomy, Astrology, and Metallurgy(Refining); 3rd Dan Black Belt Progen "Aikido" Equivalent; Distinguished Graduate of Arx Spartoi Reclaimers School; Certified Flight Instructor of Sabine Starships.
    Assigned Duty: Freelance. Sentinel has taking an interest in exploring the galaxy after being placed under Probation (See Tribunal Case File #47-2365) in Endriago sector.

    Details:

    Medical. First stable iteration of genome after period of growth into adulthood (about 20 years equivalent). Subject appears to be in prime physical condition despite only reaching 5'0" in stature. Extremely lithe and athletic with heightened perception and quick reaction time. Mental evaluation shows extreme mood swings possibly due to the Empathy enhancements in the Frontal Cortex: tends to get nervous or frustrated in crowded places. Label: Manic-Depressive. Cybernetic enhancements include: eyes (adjustable low-light, telescopic, and microscopic vision), muscle enhancements (strength, endurance, fine motor control), skeletal enhancements (bone reinforcement).

    Personality. Extremely curious. Has an innate ability to read people and determine their motives. Seems to mesh well in mixed groups with similar mindsets. Uses her looks and charm to sway others. Label: Social Butterfly. Extremely intelligent and aloof. Has an extreme fear of death (Encrypted: Vinda's note: Perhaps too extreme for final Sabura genome). Mood swings show there could be a flaw in genetic matrix (See Medical), currently under observation.

    Skill-set. Shows a high aptitude in survival, combat, and piloting skills. Extreme curiosity makes the Sentinel an excellent candidate for exploration. Despite having the genetic ability, the Sentinel has very little desire in crafting.

    Career. Assigned to Reclamation duty after three counts of assault in the first degree. Her erratic behavior and wild mood swings make her unreliable in any official capacity. If the Sentinel could be controlled somehow she could make an excellent covert agent.

    Affiliation. Despite lacking a desire of trading and crafting she recently associates herself among a freelance Guild of Traders: Builders Inc.. She seems to enjoy the social banter from those behind the trade channels.

    Republic Loyalty Degree: Loyal to the Sabine Order and Progen Republic. Is proud to be a Sabine but dislikes authority. Questions all orders. Does not harm innocents.

    -For Vinda's Eyes Only-

    -Encrypted with Hex^64 cypher-

    -Decode Vinda-16 Alpha-

    Accessing:

    First iteration of Sabine-Sabura Hybrid Alpha code named 'Naamah' a success after multiple inception and incubation failures. A physically perfect specimen despite her small frame (Note: Unsuitable for Centuriata
    insertion/infiltration). Re-designated iteration as Sabine and inserted into Arx Spartoi for Sentinel training despite warrior gene programming. The odd mix of genes seem to be conflicting as shown by her manic-depressive state, require further observation of Sentinel to see how she progresses and if it can be treated.

    Vinda's Note: "I am disappointed that the Sabine-Sabura Hybrid genome turned out to be so mentally unstable. Trying to keep her under observation is difficult as I believe she's beginning to suspect being watched. During her Probation she has escaped Endriago sector multiple times thwarting guards and her observers through subversion and persuasion. If only I can find a way to keeping her under control she can be of some use to me."

  6. (Updated to address Private Channel issues)

     

    Rather than muddy up the Roleplayer's Guild discussion even further I've decided to test the waters and see if there's any desire for a dedicated In-game Roleplayer's Community using a Private Channel. Getting an official chat channel would probably be difficult if not impossible due to the client needing modification and/or there won't be enough interest for the Dev's to put forth the effort in creating it.

     

    Unfortunately I've come to find that Private Channels aren't persistent and are lost between either server reboots and/or people all exit the channel. So until there's an alternative I've decided to then create a loose Roleplayer's Community to help those of us who are looking for people who also are interested in keeping in character.

     

    Why do we need a Roleplayers Community?

     

    Cats. Ever try to stay in character for any length of time in the Public Chat Channels? It becomes an act of frustration where every topic gets derailed into something totally unrelated to the Earth and Beyond universe. Other times you'll run into those who are only interested in "WTB, WTT, LFG, RAID, WTF, BBQ, LOL-ing!!!one!1". Private /tells work up to a point as they only involve two parties. Get a few private conversations going and it becomes a juggling act trying to keep track of each one.

     

    Additionally I feel that due to Real Life™ or having to break ties with another Guild people will shy away from joining an actual Guild dedicated to Roleplay. A Private Chat Channel would be better suited for both parties as it takes little to no effort to be involved and people will not have to sever ties to an existing community. These will have to be temporary but knowing who to contact and ask if they want to join in on a conversation helps immensely.

     

    Great! So how do I join?

     

    This will be a small community of characters (not players) where the characters can experience the game through their own perspective. With that in mind, we want to know about your character. For each character that you wish to be involved post a short biography here using Pakkrat's Blank Pre-Formatted Registration Dossier™ as an example:

     

    [spoiler]<Race/Class Dossier header> e.g. Devout Followers of the Sha'ha'dem

    Name: <toon's real name> or <toon's handle or designation>
    Class: e.g. Explorer
    Gender: male/female obviously
    Homeland: Planetside or station-born, location and sector
    Education: e.g. general education, specialist schooling, training, masteries, Doctorates, and merits/honors
    Assigned duty: Where does the toon generally call home during their career?

    Details:

    Medical. e.g. A short synopsis of any physical, emotional, mental
    details discovered as the toon began their career or while in
    apprenticeship. Write from the viewpoint of the race or class leader,
    report-style.

    Personality. e.g. A short synopsis of significant traits that
    spiked in the toon's past causing the race/class leader to have the toon
    apprenticed to that career. List both positive and negative traits
    that stood out.

    Social. e.g. How did the race/class leader see the toon's attitude
    with their peoples, class, current affairs, other races and classes?
    Keep it short and only detail spiking affinities and antipathies.

    Skillset. e.g. Short and general. What skills did the budding
    pilot chose? Group role? Affinity for Builds? Hunter? Trader? Doctor?
    Wormhole Taxi driver? Future pirate? Warrior for the cause?

    Career. e.g. Did the toon stay in line with what the race/class
    mandates or did they branch out into freelance/free agent. Are they
    true to the worldview of their race/class or did they take the education
    and skills and strike out on their own in disgust? Can the race/class
    bring the toon back into their fold?

    Corporation/Affiliation. e.g. How does the race/class rate the toon in terms of their short- and long-term goals?

    Loyalty. e.g. Is the toon still loyal to their source race and/or
    class? Can the toon be won back into the fold or are they a lost cause?
    Gone native? Gone pirate and never looked back? What is the toon's
    favored Faction that they seem to be maxing out?

    Secret Details: Include in this section anything that is secret and not
    publicly known about the toon. Secrets that only the toon knows or
    does not know about themselves. Hidden traits only spotted by the
    race/class leader. Intrigues. (Nothing world-breaking or against canon;
    keep it believable and attached to the overall metaplot.) e.g. "We
    know this Scout has Psi blood and their abilities as a Psi have yet to
    bloom. Watch them carefully. They may have to be sent to registry and
    off to the mines of Aganju."

    Tips: Remember that your roleplay toon is special. A cut above the
    rest. That's why they were chosen to represent their race/class.
    DeWynter doesn't hire AFK-bots or vault mules. Kethrada doesn't want
    unthinking and unfeeling devotees. Ariad wants the go-getters. Var
    doesn't tolerate weakness. Vinda despises stupidity. Give the
    race/class leader something they can grasp onto and think "I can use
    this one." Conversely, remember the human element. These are not
    demigods. They are mortal and can be hurt. They are just as vulnerable
    to the Delete Button.[/spoiler]

     

    Once we figure out the Chat solution you'll be notified... Soon™

     

    Until then feel free to converse in character to anyone opting into the Community. I know myself or Pakkrat won't turn down an opportunity to Roleplay with someone looking for the same. Also use the Roleplayer's forum here to strike up a conversation, post a report, or even write up some fiction dealing with the EnB Lore.

     

    About the Community

     

    We're in a period of time in the Earth and Beyond universe called the Crystal Age. Granted there are some post-war tensions between the major factions the community at large is at peace. Taking Pakkrat's suggestion of Sol Security in the Crystal Age I'd like to model that as the theme. Registered pilots can converse and meet on common and shared grounds free from the burdens or racial strife their class may impose on them. While racial interactions are encouraged, please keep it respectful... We don't want another Gate War.

     

    Stealing Pakkrat's bandwidth at Net-7 SOL, this is Zyrith Skye... Now how do I turn off the transmi-*static*

  7. Aye... Due to Real Life™ I cannot commit to anything at this time either as I'm sure is the case with a lot of you.

     

    An ingame channel would probably be the best solution as it takes no commitment and you can interact with the community as you see fit.

  8. Seeing as how the RP Guild idea is being placed on the back burner due
    to an apparent lack of Pylons or Overlords... I would still like to surround
    myself with like individuals who enjoy discussing and playing the game
    through our character's eyes. I do monitor the Progen and Explorer
    channels but very little if anything is discussed on there. I do try to
    keep in character when I can but doing so in the public channels is
    difficult. Is there a private channel dedicated for roleplaying? If not
    should we start one up?

     

    I'm sure Pakkrat just loves my constant in-character PM's when ever he's

    online. I'd love to talk to some of you guys as well despite him wanting to

    keep me all to himself. :D :P

  9. I don't know what I did but... um... You're welcome? I guess my own fanaticism with the Sabura rubbed off on you. :blush:

     

    Truly enjoyed the read. Brought back so many memories of Sunset that I had forgotten about. Especially the part of the Sabine-run ship scans as you enter Endriago.

     

    I loved where Siobhan noticed the rat-girl decal. That part made me forcefully laugh out loud getting a few nasty looks in the coffee shop. "Men..." :D

  10. I would hope that there would be an opt-in option. That way you only see people that are able AND willing to do builds.

     

    It would help out those looking for builds, people that like to do builds, and people that are tired of PM's and couldn't be arsed to do any builds.

  11. To say a field is unclearable is just a challenge to us miners. :)

    I've personally cleared out the two uber-dense fields in New Ed with another guildy... It can be done. :P

    Besides... Other than these uber fields there's no real reason to group up and mine. It seems everything in this game is becoming solo-able. Fields that can be cleared by one person with no mob aggro to be seen. I miss the big hunting-mining ops we had in the past before sunset.
