    Don't get so worked up over this, one way or another. We're still stress testing here, and everything we're working toward will be wiped again in the upcoming months. It's for that reason that I think reputation and etiquette are that much more important here. It's not the prizes that matter, it's the respect that comes from good sportsmanship bestowed on you by your fellow players.

    When ST4 ends, the toys are gone and we're all starting over yet again. That respect and recognition is the one commodity you'll be able to carry on ahead. Take good care of it.

    I don't agree with the passive-aggressive attitude you displayed in those PMs. Gear or class should have no impact on common decency.

    Good deeds often follow good deeds. I'm happy to see that your neighbor found some way of showing his appreciation for all you do.

    Me personally, this reminded me of a story. Ever read Leaf by Niggle? You'd like it.

    Think more along the lines of a "do-over" skill or "run silent, run deep".

    Back in live I had my own playstyle which made great use of it. Especially when roving bands of CL56 Vrix would come screaming by without warning. Hit the button, they'd sniff at me and then keep moving.

    Powerdown..if there was a more useless skill in game the only one I could think of was self destruct of PW. Like was said before at mid levels it let you get reactor and shield tick back..but most high level mobs saw through it. Afk..why would you waste points so that you could take a nap/bio break? Pfft..go to safe area and afk..then return. Like in arduinne..why not just move to the gate behind the guns and let the terrans guns make your life easy? :)

    Sometimes there are roaming patrols of NPCs you want to not engage. Powerdown is the way to disappear from their radar until they leave.

    I haven't had as much success with dropping aggro mid-combat in here as I did in live. Back then it was godly when it was maxed -- as long as there was no damage ticking on a mob or you weren't being damaged right that second (You couldn't use repulsor with it) you could shut down, let your reactor/shields recharge and then resume the fight. The NPC would heal a bit as well, but not at anything resembling your recovery. You could do this over and over, until said mob was dead. It just took a little time, but I killed a ton of critters I would have had no business fighting otherwise this way.

    All I know is that I'm gonna start a TS in ST4, and put points toward Build Engines so people coming in behind me will have my build skill going for them.

    We've rebuilt before, we can rebuild again. Levelling characters is half the fun.

    Actually, I'm surprised EA hasn't said anything, if they know about it. They strike me as being pretty petty... really just the feeling I get.

    Either they're gathering some crazy cease and desist evidence to blitzkrieg us out of existence, or they've weighed the positives against the negatives and just decided to let it slide. We're a pretty vocal minority and they neither gain nor lose money by letting what is all but abandonware continue to be enjoyed by those that were happy to pay for it when they offered it to them.

    As they've said, so long as we don't flaunt it or aim to profit from their intellectual property they might just aim to look the other way.

    I found PD immensely useful for soloing. The trick was to not have damage or debuffs active on enemies aggroing you when you dropped. As most progens used plasma or chem that meant that they'd have to wait for the damage to stop ticking away before they could shut down successfully. Most didn't know this.

    I found it perfect for soloing Arduinne mobs. Do some damage, take more damage. PD, let the shields regen. Pop back up, finish them off.

    For those of you who remember, I was Setoh/Gamera on Andromeda. For those that don't, just 'hi'. I've finally taken the time to dig up my old CDs and look around. You guys have done a great job so far.

    Everything is downloading as we speak. I missed this game. It really gets in your blood, doesn't it?

    EDIT: I'm also really, really sorry if this is in the wrong area. I'm terrible at forum navigation. :)
