*Prefers the world when PC was not FOTM and people just got along with each other*
I get along with others as long as they don't act like they are some super being that they know everything no matter what. ^-^ I wish they locked 'my' thread when I had asked, but nope. Looks like discussion is still open now due to a GM.

First off Praetorius IS a GM, I just haven't seen him online for a while (wb Praetorius). And what I believe he is referring to is rule #2 of the thing that pops up after you hit play on the launcher...
"General Rules
1) You may not harass, threaten, embarrass, stalk, or cause distress, unwanted attention, or
discomfort to another player.
2) You may not use any offensive, sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive,
harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise
objectionable remarks."
Although, Praetorius, while my personal opinion is that a lot of things have been allowed that shouldn't have, I think taking that stance on euphemism's is a bit harsh. What's next? A ban on acronyms? There goes WTF, SNAFU, FUBAR and a whole bunch of other "words" that have now become commonplace.
Pretty much if they went 'Strict' on number 2 down to the very last bit, we might have 10-20 players playing. IF that.
Edit: If we go by the one we always agree by at the start. Pretty much no one should be online right now. So playing this game and following the first thing that pops up would be hypocritical?
14) You will not attempt to interfere with, hack into, or decipher any transmissions to or
from the servers running the Earth & Beyond Service.
16) You will not create, use, play, or provide any emulator or other site where Earth &
Beyond may be played and you will not post or distribute any utilities, emulators or other
software related to Earth & Beyond without the express written consent of EA. You will not
attempt to play Earth & Beyond on any service that is not controlled or authorized by EA.
^- Read it and weep. :x
Edit2: Oh for fun, Prae made that sound like a threat. Looks like he should give himself a warning. :-)

Would have loved more varied trade routes. At the simplest adding 2 more items that sell at different prices based on the station sold to.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Somerled>Prasad Run:
Somerled-Prasad is a 4 hop journey one way, 8 round trip. Each way nets about 450 a cargo spot, so 900 round trip per cargo hold. You can go one way in about 10 minutes, 25 minutes or so total. 900 x 32 = 28800 round trip. You can make two to three runs in the same time as fenris, so ultimately the money comes out to about the same for the time.
Route: At Somerled Station (New Edinburgh sector in Tau Ceti system), purchase Spices. Take spices to Prasad Station (Xipe Totec sector in Serius system). At Prasad, purchase Jenquai Weapons Tech. Take Jenquai Weapons Tech to Somerled. Round trip about 16 mins, making about 500 credits a crate each way.
Somerled>Fenris Run:
The somerled-fenris run is 12 hops one way, 24 round trip. Going to fenris nets about 900 per item, coming back nets about 1400 per item. So for 24 hops you get 2300 per cargo space if you have negotiate level 4. It takes about 30-40 minutes one way. So an hour to and a an hour and a half of effort, for 2300 x 32 (size of 30th cargo hold) = 73600 credits per round trip.
Route: Fenris >Valkyrie Twins/Varen’s Girdle>Aragoth Prime>Muspelheim>Odin’s Belt>Odin Rex>Jotunheim>Freya>Akeron’s Gate>Saturn>Glenn>Carpenter>New Edinburgh
Because you run more somerled-prasad runs, the exp is much better on the somerled prasad run. You may feel great bringing in that load from Fenris and earning 1500 per unit but you're doing your trade exp bar a disservice making that run. Thats my 2 credits anyway.
o.o; 30-40 mins, what. I do like 2-3 runs in 30-40 minutes, must be using a level 1 or 2 engine with 2000 warp, no warp buff device or reactor(device RR if tt)
People have talked about wanting more trade runs, but trade runs overall are boring. Warp -> warp -> sell -> buy -> warp etc. Warping is the same no matter where you warp (besides gravity wells)
Personally I rather jobs then trade runs, usually overall better exp and gives more to look at then your character breaking the speed of light or something that causes a light gray,blue, pink, white to zoom pass you.

Macros = It's okay if you have it pressing keys such as click to manufacture ammo, or for it press all your buffs at once etc small non-game breaking.
Bad Macros = Acts like a bot. Does trade runs for you, mines for you, kills mobs for you etc.
Multi-boxing is alright as long its not over 3 characters.
For those concerning. "Multi-boxing" most mmo's see it as using 1-2+ computers to run multiple accounts to gain advantages over other players in 'combat.' So mining with multiples, killing with multiples = bad if they disallow it in a MMO, but pretty much any MMO I know allows you to have 'multiple' accounts online to transfer + build items. As long as your not 'exploiting' over someone else. Since 1 Person = 1 player in combat, but if a multiboxing comes alot 1 person = 2 players. (Btw its not hard to form and just hit the assist then f button on other keyboards or download a program that where you hit one button on this keyboard goes to other one to)
But I'm against multi-boxing. Since I don't do it, besides running dad's computer and mine if I want his to make something for me real quick. Though I don't consider that multi-boxing. I'm USING 1 box at a time, I run over and get it then this one idles. Back and forth etc. Having both 'boxes' DOING something is what I define multi-boxing.
Edit: For those wondering 99% of games allow you to easily run 2 accounts at once on same computer (transfering) this game doesn't 'easily' let you, but still possible.

I agree 100% with the last 3 post, schools need major reform in America. They need to be updated to the 21st century, as of now they are so 18th century its ridiculous. Its not something that should be put on the back burner either, kids these days are subject to all different kinds of abuse in schools, from their peers, teachers and the criteria itself. Which really doesn't cover how to live in the modern world, and with school shootings on the rise in America, profanity should be the least of your worries.
Education in school is debatable. In my school there are 3 Class Ranks-> Regular,Honors, Advanced Placement.(Besides having a problem that causes learning disabilities.)Education varies HUGELY between those sorta. Regular -> Honors, AP is a decent step, but usually not to big. Education in US is fine, but these 'morons' I'll use that word. Are those kids taking 'welfare' classes to get high GPAs or to pass. BTW 98% of teachers at my school will give you a 55 or 70 so you can either take second chance (to get passing) or so you pass and they don't get fired. (Dumb system is dumb)
Most education people 'see' is grammar and spelling. Grammar is about 10% of a care factor, just need to know basics. NO ONE, I mean NO ONE is 100% perfect always on grammar least in english, someone always makes a slight mistake. I can deal with-> 'hey hey sup everyone' That's fine, but I don't want someone typing a paragraph that is a complete run on sentence. Spelling is about 80%, 'harder' words such as octopus(not great of a example) is okay.
Though PS, They should of been locked. I was somewhat answered in this thread by TB. Since 'excessive' means excessive, not one word + the person saying sorry. I am pretty sure some people that harass people that only say ONE word, and then sorry I can pretty much sign them up for a level 1 suspension since first they use the channel for uselessness, make it sound like THEY are in control, try to act like a internet bully which is not a community.
BTW, Since I'm still in highschool. I love the forums, because adults say "stop acting like kids" though they should say "stop acting like adults" I see more adults fight then kids and act little 2 year olds. : ) I can prove it too. Come to my town, we can hang out at this one store LOL best stuff ever sometimes.
Edit: Editted out locking thread.

I just upgraded my Environment shield to L5 and was hoping when it said reflects 10 points in dmg that it really meant 10%. Hunting mobs with over 300k shields with them hitting me for over 10k dmg and seeing 10 shield points of dmg reflect back to them didn't seem right. Even at L7 it will only reflect 50 shield points which is nothing when fighting L50+. Hopefully the skill can be upgraded to maybe reflect 10% of dmg, and at L7 30% or something like that (L5=10%, L6=20%, L7=30%). I think this will help out the JE a lot. Either that or hopefully call forward works soon...
Probably more along the lines of. 10% (Cap of 1,000), 20% (Cap of 2,000), 30% (Cap of 3,000) Just did it by thousands to make it similar. 'Real' numbers come in play when balancing etc.

Since we are not suppose to give unwanted attention either. ^^ So no naming names. Course I know who you were talking to earlier. :-)
Though I'm pretty sure I have the right to report that offender because of rule 1.
Also WTB This Rule. Read: It means read the channel names. If it does not deal with the channel in some form you should not do it. Possible global mute in public chats etc. Something like that.
-
Edit: v- Go ahead and ignore to some point, looks like peoples tears changed the rules from excessive language to language
So, Since some people freak out and harass people mainly over if they say a offensive word 'curse'. In which since they harass theses people for being new/human beings. While they are TRYING and PURPOSELY trying to harass or cause a-lot of attention to someone. In which aren't they up for a level 1 suspension due to breaking.
1) You may not harass, threaten, embarrass, stalk, or cause distress, unwanted attention, or discomfort to another player.
Usually 'listening' to them bicker at people cause me discomfort and distress due to I hate when "real" people fight for 'blood' and not just 'fun' (gaming) or 'sport' (boxing.)
In which if I can get these people removed for harassment. I believe I'll be much more relaxed and I think my IQ might increase. :-)
I find it okay for a 'normal' to point out its wrong, but when it goes to 30 minutes of debating and whining at someone. That's to the point of harassment and breaking rule 1.
Enjoy, give me your opinions. Since usually dicussing things like this end up with 95% of the people in thread breaking a ToS rule. :-)
-Welcome To The World Of Humans. We may not be perfect, but we have rules we try to enforce.

^-^ I can go by rules, but when someone refers to 'rules' in which they already broke? What's the point?
