I was one of the E&B refugees that moved to EVE after EA pulled the plug. It was cool for a while, and I've played it on and off for quite a while since then, but the fact is that the whole game is a PVP playground that really grated on me when I was used to players helping each other in E&B. I play games for fun, but EVE felt more like a job, so it was hard for me to keep playing for any sort of time. It's a good game, but it's not for me, that's coming from someone with 249 million skill points and can fly almost every ship (I never trained capital ships as they can't be flown in 'safe' space). It's a good game if you are into PVP and backstabby politics, but that's not me.

On the subject of tours. Anyone knows if there's a command or something that turns off the navigate skills ability to shortcut nav paths? I tried to tour my TT around Ardus using my JE that has max navigate, but I ended up missing a load of nav points. After a while, I reformed the group with TT as leader (no points in navigate) so I could get all the nav's on a path.

I have never used any AHK script while AFK, like I said, to me it's cheating and I wouldn't do it. I also see multi-boxing as a form of cheating too, but the server bosses are okay with it, I do have a few accounts but logging more than one in at a time to do stuff just feels wrong.

I did make a spice run autopilot AHK script a while ago that just flew you between the two stations, but I think the devs added a few grav wells that make it useless, and I never bothered to update it. Making these are rather easy as you only need to record your clicks and then play them back. That being said, for me, I see running these while AFK as cheating, and I'm all for kicking/banning AFK bots. So make sure you are around to reply if a server boss PM's you

I think it's your sig plus the mobs scan range. If the mobs have a 5k scan range, and you have a 0.3 sig then they should spot you from 5.3k away. If a mob spotted your JE from 10k away, then that mobs scan range must be quite high and may need to be looked at.

For me, I use a program called AltDrag to move E&B windows and other old DirectX windows around a bit easier. That said, the alt key switches your hot bars in game and clicking will just start moving the window, but in the options for the program you can switch it to left or right alt/win/ctrl keys to make moving the window easier.

Just checked on my PS, I can see the ammo blueprints in the terminal, but when I click them I get the message "Unable to create Unknown Item. Too difficult" Edit: In the launcher, open the tools menu and hit E&BConfig, this will open the config tool and let you pick a resolution and other sound options.

sunrise.net-7.org should work fine, play.net-7.org works too. There's 20 odd people on the server atm, so the server side of things seems to be working fine. Is the local IP set correctly on your launcher? Or maybe your firewall blocking the E&B client or the net7proxy.exe?

All back. That said, I ninja'd a Taniwhas Pride with my JE when the servers came up the 1st time, but I guess I can trade a fancy device for getting my PS back Thanks for the work

I'm missing toons on an account, logged into game, but all 3 toons are gone. All their info is still listed on the portal.

Launcher, Not sure what version it is, but should update itself. E&B Demo, I don't think google would mind if it just a few people downloading Let me know if the links are ok.

City of Heroes for me, I played Eve/WoW/GW2/EQ2 and a bunch of others for a while, but city of heroes just has me coming back. I've got around 40 alt's on the Excelsior server, and I will probably make more at some point. Edit: Also, Renegade X if you need to get your kills on. It's a remake of the C&C Renegade shooter game.

If this doesnt help then make sure the 'Local Cert' is not selected in the debug section of the launcher as that usally gives me an inv-300 error.

When you fire up the launcher, there's a help menu at the top right. There's a option there to install the certificate, that should solve that issue.

Not just me then? I logged in yesterday and had the same issues Woodstock described. One thing different though was that another player was trying to invite his alt to a group, but instead I was receiving that invite on my JE. On a side note, I'd vote for GM's to hit the restart button if its needed

I saw a few screenshots on the Wiki that showed damage numbers in the chat box. Is there a command for that or am I missing something in the chat options?

I found the effect id table I made a while ago that list's the visual effect id's for all the buffs and de-buffs in game. Not sure if the server bosses still have a copy or not but here it is. effect id's.xlsx

Ok, maybe its not the server but the connection somewhere in-between that's the problem... When I login everything seems fine for about 10 seconds then I get lagged into oblivion. Edit: I turned off packet optimization and reorder and seem to be ok now...

Think the hamster fell off its wheel... Will have to wait on server bosses hitting the reset button.

Just as a side note as nothing seems to have happened for ~6 months...    We are not talking about the equipable engines...   We are talking about the engine component that makes up the 3D model of the ships (hull/wing/engine).

This is kinda my point, it shouldn't mater what size your shield is... If you don't have the required radiation/heat protection you should get your butt kicked.

I have to say that id go back if EA turned the servers back on even though I despise EA for closing it down in the first place...   Don't get me wrong, what you guys have done here is awesome, you have taken a client and created a server from scratch that the client can talk to and understand, and then populated the server with more content than the original servers had.   That being said though their are some obvious things wrong with the game that everyone just seems to pass over either because its been like this from the start therefore considered normal or no one seems to remember how it worked from sunset.  To me these things stick out a bit too much. This is your version Earth & Beyond, not the one I fell in love with.

Could you make the damage of these effects a % rather than a flat number so that JE's can retain their title as the "go (almost) anywhere class".

I remember back before sunset loading my 150 TE up with Catapult 6's then heading out to VG and watching that big ring of purple ammo fly down range and do peanuts for damage against the shrooms.... Was a spectacle to watch, and fun to perform :)   It wasn't quite as fun as ninja buffing in my JE though, warping up on an unsuspecting victim then unloading a full rack of devices plus shield and reactor buffs, then warping off before the person knew what hit them.   The good ol days...

This video has some clips of what the jenqui 150 engines/trails should look like and here's a video showing what the progen 150 engine/trails look like. These are really old vids from before sunset.
