Stoop

while playing "Let's clear the forums of unread posts."  Recently there was activity in this section of the forum and I scrolled down and there was a button "Back to The Real World"  I hated clicking that BTW.   But it got me wondering, maybe we could have a section called The Future and the DEVs could post hints of what's coming in the next patch.  Then everyone could click Back to The Future!!!    Sorry, I'm tired and my humor's just about run out for the day, just thought I'd have a little fun

You're thinking and trying to help improve the game, can't fault you for that.  This idea may work for individuals keeping track of their own finds, but the second it gets shared it becomes everyone's and, sadly, there are people who'll take advantage of it without helping others (a part of this community I've always loved is the people helping others)

the problem I would have with this is the fact that certain fields are so well known (including their spawn times) that by the time anyone gets around to them they're gone.  As an example a certain lvl 8-9 hulk field in BBW at coordinates *hack, cough, belch, loud fart* I had seen in passing before I was able to mine that lvl, but now that I'm able to mine them finding them was next to impossible because it seemed every Tom, Dick and Harry knew and camped the location.  Yes, I've found it and managed to mine the location twice, but most times it's gone, I don't complain I just move on to the next location.  Supposedly there's a lvl 9 field at Einherjar Research Platform in Niff, but I've NEVER found it because people would camp until they figured out the spawn timer.  There's a field in *belch* sector, however, that contains lvl 6-8 hulks that few people know about and is rarely mined.  If a node finder was implemented, my little field (and I do mean little, there's usually only 3-5 hulks there) would never be there for me when I get off work because everyone and their brother would be handed the location on a silver platter.

while my vote was "Kind and Helpful" I have to point out that there will always be exceptions to the rule.  For instance, a couple months ago I had managed to get my hands on a full line of loot only beams, I mapped them and then offered them to someone I had seen on Market channel who was also mapping weapons.  (S)he replied "Whatever, I could kill you with one shot."  I have ignored this person's calls for assistance since, but they are still not on my "Ignore List" in game.  I will not drag that person through the mud but their calls for help will remain unheeded by me.

I had to +1 that Holyman because it reminded me of my early "multi-boxing" days, I had the client running on an old Compaq Armada M700 just to trade stuff between toons, if I dared to leave the station or gate with that computer it was ... not pretty

I can't even remember what it was I had suggested years ago before The Great Crash, but I remember Tienbau had said that coding may not have been possible, I don't know much about game engineering, but I like to use the phraseology

With the addition of the Terran Scout with the Null Factor Field skill and Androzari [Under Construction], we now have 2 classes that can potentially overcome gravity wells and 2 prisons, why not put these things to use?  A Red Dragon higher up wants a certain someone out of jail, and out fast.  The player receives the mission from a RD NPC, docks at one of the two prison facilities (DCO or Androzari), talks to an NPC who happens to be a RD insider who gives the prisoner to the player and tells them to take the prisoner to QAR or Paramis, as soon as the player departs the station they become wanted!  No docking at any station except QAR or Paramis and the whole galaxy's after them (Centuriata, Collegia, EarthCorps, Hyperia, InfinitiCorps, Sabine, Sha'ha'dem, Sharim and Shinwa) become hostile temporarily.  Only speed and stealth will be the players allies.   Rewards:  Trade xp (as the Prisoner Transfer jobs were basically the basis of my idea), +++ RD faction Drawback:  Minor hit to all player class factions   I don't know, maybe making the classes temporarily hostile might be a problem with the coding, but I think this would make for an interesting mission.  Any thoughts from Staff or players?

hmmm... Lobe announces that he's coming back to the game on Sept. 21 and since then all my favorite hulk mining spots are empty... Coincidence?  Probably, but I'm blaming him anyway!  WB Lobe!

There is never any need to apologize for improving one's quality of life.  Glad things are looking up for you and hope to see you in game soon

hamster die in his wheel again?

they weren't job terminal missions were they?  Those are supposed to be removed from the list after (I think) 20 minutes of being logged out.  iirc pre-Sunset they were removed as soon as you logged, but the DEV team gave us a little leeway because of random/gate crashes

Sorry Holyman, I kind of derailed your thread when I asked about the account name on your character name thread.  My apologies.

I'm sure someone's going to ask: Are you running as administrator?  Apart from that, my laptop takes a while to get going.  I get the icon in system tray but have to wait a minute or so before client starts up.

I apologize if this has been brought up before, but can we get a "Manufacurable By" filter on the database?  I was fleshing out my recipe book for my JS and filtered out non-manu items, but Jenquai Restricted items still popped up.  I COULD filter Usable By Jenquai Seeker, but then Progen Only, or Terran Only items wouldn't show up

Immediately after Sunset I tried Eve, didn't like it.  Got on Star Wars: Galaxy, was okay with it until I lost my job and couldn't afford to play anymore.  Moved, got another job, played WoW for about 2 years, lost my job, packed all my stuff into my car and tried to start my life "anywhere but here", drove out to California, headed back east, fell asleep at the wheel, rolled my car and broke my neck.  Almost ten years later I'm working 5-6 12 hour shifts driving a cab and barely have time to do anything, but still have to get my E&B time on the weekends

I can't answer Holyman's question, but would like to put one of my own with his:  Is there a way to change a game account name?

the question I have about this skill is why is it limited to just PS/TS?  Granted, the JE's preferred weapon is beams, but they do have the projectile skill, if a person were to want to play a projectile using JE should they be the only class that has to rely on others for ammo?

https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/10362-the-week-in-highlights-91414/   Blacklung spawned what?! - You asked:          Aren’t all the ‘public’ spawns just contributing to the overabundance of credits? Wouldn’t we be better suited putting these in another sector of space and selling tickets or something to create a credit sink? The Emu Team said:          While the guilds that have been raiding for a while might have a lot of this gear, there are still many toons that either don’t have the gear or don’t have the access to the raiding spawn points. The loot is not currently on the radar as being excessively vendored because there is too much of it.   https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/10464-public-raid-sector/ First they shoot down my idea then decide it's worth it.  Should I ask for a commission?  :P

Vampyr (JD), Vampie (JE)

Due to my work schedule (Five 12 hour days a week, sometimes on call during the weekends) I'm only able to play maybe 2 days a week.  I've noticed many players saying credits are worthless and I've seen BL spawn public raids frequently.  I understand and applaud BL for trying to help the player base get better gear, but all that extra loot is getting sold to vendors for credits, which may or may not be spent for vendored items, analyzing or manufacturing.  This is creating a massive influx of credits with little to none outgoing.  My solution?  Create a sector that BL can spawn his public raids, the gate requires an item (a ticket if you will) which can be bought for x amount of credits at a certain vendor.  Each player has to buy their own ticket.  This enables players to continue with BL's public raids and also begins a balancing of credits.   Maybe I'm wrong, but I honestly believe this might help.

Well, to be honest Blacklung, the way Louden MacEwen offers missions to new TTs, it's kind of easy to skip around in missions.  First time my TT talked to him he had 5 missions right off the bat and if you take one he won't talk to you until that one is done.

well, I feel like a dumbass!  I unchecked Lock Port on the launcher and am having no problems now. 

exactly Kyp.  And the "Receiving initial login data" is what the empty box icon in the sys tray says when I hover my mouse over it.  I'm minutes away from another 12 hour a day/5 day work week so I probably won't be able to download and install on another machine till the weekend.

don't know, this is the only pc I've got the game installed on.  have at least one more machine I could try

I'm sure it's probably something with my machine, I can get my accounts logged in, but none of my characters will log in.  All of them get stuck right after I select the character.  Any help would be appreciated.
