I asked about this quite a while ago, as far as I can tell the engine component of the ship isn't getting upgraded properly with the rest of the ship. The jenqui hulls get the first 1-2 upgrades but none of the races get the final one which made them look like the screen shots in the 1st post.

Think ill stick with my Beta tag, give me a shout if you need a hand with the visual effect id's though :P

Back when Westwood/EA ran this it took quite a while to get a level, to the point where gaining levels were not the objective when you were playing. Instead you went out an mined/traded/hunted/missioned and if you got a level then cool...   In this leveling a toon is soooo much faster it kinda makes me think it should take longer to level. Sure there's missions like Agrippa if you really get bored and want something to grind your face on, but for me E&B was more of a casual game and most players had the "We will get there eventually" mentality rather than the "Blitz to 150 then go raiding" you see in most MMO's these days.

On the topic of design... Any chance of getting this added?

Have you tried the "Delete TH6 files" box on the launcher? I know this fixed some crash on logins for me.

Each sector runs on its own server port, maybe your firewall or another program is blocking/using that port.   EDIT:    I don't remember which sectors run through which ports but you can check if you open the windows resource monitor from the admin tools in the control panel. In the network tab tick the net7proxy box in the top section and at the bottom it will tell you the ports that it is using.

Only thing I have to do on Windows 8 is run the launcher as admin.   Are you talking about the Net7 launcher or the installer?

I guess fixing the symptoms is easier that fixing the cause. I made the suggestion a bit back here to tweak the de-spawn time on picked roids so that the roid would vanish 5-10 mins after it was picked. 

You have to log in with the user name you created on net-7.org. Also make sure you have the correct server selected on the launcher.

Just checked on the dev server with the leet beta commands and it says it does drop... Cant tell you where or what from though.

Group, Find/Leave... then click the release looting rights box.

Crashing after you hit enter on you password can be fixed by deleting the global.th6 file.   For me this file is located here:  D:\Earth & Beyond\Data\client\mixfiles\global.th6

Adding these in some form on the forum would be cool. I think it would be hard on the server though as it would have to record every mob you kill, each shot you fire etc...  Having the server track mission completions and award titles accordingly would be a bit easier though as these are already recorded.

1 equip and 1 active was how it was in live after EA added the cap... I guess they didn't like people having silly fire rates.   I know people people used say "but theirs a number 2 on the buff icon" this just meant that you got hit by the same buff twice, only the best of the 2 had any effect though.   That being said I also wouldn't mind having my sentinel's pl's fire at 0.01 or whatever 1.5 secs - 99% is... 

This happens when the global.th6 file gets broke.    Go to  Earth & Beyond\Data\client\mixfiles\ and delete the global.th6 file, the game will recreate it when you start it up again and you should be able to log in.

The /credit kill command only assigned looting rights to another player, it had no effect on who got xp/faction for the kill.

Any chance we can get the /credit kill command working? This way raid groups can credit their damage to a single 'master looter' for the duration of the raid, then this person can use the commands above to assign looters.

You only need to delete the global.th6, but this usually fixes the problem when I CTD while trying to login.

I've brought this up a few times and it has always got shot down. As far as everyone is concerned it is "working as intended".

Jobs will be getting hit with the nerf bat at some point. At the moment its way too easy to level on jobs. I think the devs are already working on how to balance the xp a bit better from them.

Does the cook book show weather you have the components for the build or not? If not then it would be nice if it checked your vaults for the items needed for the build and tell you the toons that have them.

I don't do much building but I can see a "last 10 crafted items" list when you first open it up would be cool.

[quote name='GenghisBob' timestamp='1355023552' post='68490'] There is no such thing as cherry picking in this game. The game mechanics are working as in live except for the clear bonus. [/quote] To me cherry picking is not clearing a roid/hulk of stuff. As for the mechanics back on live picked roids and hulks would despawn after 5-10 mins of being opened so something else could spawn in its place. This way their wouldn't just be the junk left behind. As I put before I have seen picked hulks that have not despawned in over 30 mins (rough time it takes for my hulk run). This is the reason I suggested a timer tweak.

It would probably be easier to change it so that you only get xp for clearing a roid/hulk. This way if you dont clear it you dont get any xp. I was told a while ago that cherry picked roids/hulks de-spawn after a while, I've not seen this happen but maybe the timer needs a tweak on that.

This would be hard as it would mean tweaking the client and we cant do that. What could be done though is adding a chat command like "/filter ce3k" then when you open the terminal only the ce3k comps are shown... I think that would get annoying though.
