    I just got an Creality Ender 3 3D Printer  from eBay... Have not opened it yet as I need to clean my work bench.  From what I have seen it is cheaper to upgrade the 3 with the addons you want rather than spend the extra cash for the Creality Ender 3 3D Pro Printer . 

     

    Look for someone who will accept make an offer, check for the lowest price you can find and bit a tad under that.  

     

    Pretty cool that I can CnC as well as laser engrave.

     

    P.S.  Pull the trigger fast... it seems prices will be going up soonish with the new trade talks coming to a close.. +25% passed to you.

     

    Oh...I got mine for < 180.00 with shipping.

    GUI tools that communicate through a web service to authenticate an authorized developer's access to the development server database. Very few can actually make direct changes to sunrise itself.
    re: trust.. 

    Don't take it badly. I don't just trust anyone. It's my nature as an admin and leader etc. In order to keep things secure and on a track, not every joe can get access to things. You have to show me interest and show me what you can do, I generally ask for a PM describing what you think you can do for us.

    The high level guidelines would be for a given story arch, making them public would ruin any story advancement before you got to play it and see it. There's plenty of story left to use which we're working on. We can develop whatever after that, but we are mostly sticking to everything we had from the original game until that is done before we do anything completely and totally original as we'd have to write some high levels for that.

     


    Most of our developers have no idea about programming. there are only a few of us who do and we develop the server & tools for the developers to use to get the content created and things done to meet requirements. See above, send PM etc, about joining up or if you've sent one to me in teh past freshen it up.
     

    Here is an idea: I used to play Pirates of the burning seas... They allowed some game mods in the way of sails.  The tools were not suggested but once a sail was submitted they were checked for adherence to the specs.  If so the sail would become available either public or private. 

     

    So my idea is create an area (invite only after request) that  describes the format of the missions.  If the mission is accepted, the mission can be cut and pasted into the game tools.

     

    If the user passes muster he/she could then be given access to the tools themselves?

     

    What you think boss?

    You do realize that you dont argue with the Devs, its arguing with MICROSOFT.

     

    Although it was posted more than once now, that MICROSOFT did not update WIndows XP anymore and therefore the needed SSL cipher is missing in Windows XP, you guys keep talking about the "devs not supporting..." - why is that so?

    Hey...I was trying to be supportive. 

     

    It seems that you guys are getting the brunt of the whines...Take it from me, the King O whiners, that was misdirected whines.

     

    Mostly not whining this time,

    Easier to pick a fight with those that are close. :)

    Wow... I for one am not rich.  I do know that trying to keep a POS computer alive and kicking after MS has abandoned the OS is a loosing proposition. Yes I have kept a few favorites alive by switching to Linux but it is just not the same (some have said better I happen to disagree).  So what are your choices? Build one yourself or buy a new one.  I can't get into the build a piece at a time as budget allows.  SO I look for a more affordable option.  

     

    Ebay, Amazon, HP, Dell all offer open box or returns.  Most offer factory re-pops and an affordable price.

    Arguing with our devs to keep supporting an OS that has been discontinued is a loosing battle IMHO.  I quit Windows 7, went to 10 but found that although my box would run it, it would crash and burn for mysterious reasons.  Swapped out drive, swapped out graphics card.  When it got to the need to swap out RAM and CPU it was much cheaper for me to just bite the bullet and get a new box. 

     

    Anyone follow Star Citizen?  I do, originally it ran on my Windows 10 Dell XPS.  As the game developed the hardware requirements increased.  Keep up or don't play.  Do I curse the Devs?  Pretty soon IMO that will be the game to watch for space games.

     

    Just ranting,

    P.S. Mouli...I'll contact you when I finish getting me screen grabs of the registration and install process.

    OK...I just got a computer from Woot.com.  A factory re-pop.  I will try to screen grab my trials of installing EnB from scratch on this box.  If successful I'll put together a step by step set of instructions (With Mouli's help). 

     

    If it passes muster (with GM and Dev changes) could it be a Main locked section for new player orientation?

    Pretty much what I was looking for.  The issue is, how many new prospective players do we loose due to no directions? I have been talking up EnB but think those that I have sent this way were intimidated by the forum.  Let's get them in game before they are exposed to the likes of me. :)

    This may already be in effect but if not...

     

    For any new player we should :

    1. Send a welcome email

    2. In that email send a link to a section of this site outlining what to do STEP by STEP on getting the game up and running

    3. Include a like for an example on character creation

    4. Include a link to troubleshooting or issues

     

    What could be included a section for who in game referred them.  This could be used for in game  bonus crap for the referrer.  

     

    Just some thoughts,

    I know we're following the guide path laid out by the original DEVs.  And I know that overall game play wasn't so compelling that huge numbers of people paid for the game.  This suggests that the original DEV vision wasn't the best ...

     

    This guide path is not how I remember it at all... 

     

    Just saying,

    I used to have ATT DSL service. They kept me on for years dangling the promise of fiber optic connection,super fast internet and many channels of HD TV.  Never happened but the service nightmare made me ultimately switch.  My outside connection was constantly an issue, intermittent outages and slow connections.  I almost longed for the old 9600 baud modem back.  One service tech came in examined my setup and told me I needed to have my house re-wired to provide a better ground.  This seemed reasonable until I looked at the modem and found there was no ground on the wall wart powering the modem.  My house has a ground, grounded outlets and ground fault outlets around all the water supplies.   Anyway after paying for that service call, threats to disconnect and whining (which I am as good in real life as I am here) I finally got a crew to check the connection in the  alley at the junction? It was found a squirrel had chewed thru a main cable and they were grounding out when the wind blew.  

     

    I switched to cable.

    A miner usually does not give away their best-est mining spot but...I guess it isn't an issue anymore.  I was in Lagarto.  A high level ore field 7-9 and hulks to match.  When there I can usually fight off what ever comes my way, or if 2 or 3 attack, I have time to power down and wait for their departure.  4-5 hitting me at the same time with the hacking of ALL abilities, sort of renders one incapable of a defense strategy.

     

    P.S. My PS is maxed of all abilities (except missile) And ammo, but this is relatively new.

    The place I was mining was in neither of the places you listed. And there were 4 - 5 Level 50 Bio-Extractors that acted like the V'Rix.  This happened about 8 months ago when I whined about it at that time.  It seemed to be fixed.  I was fighting one and had the other 3 or 4 show up almost instantly.  I have a .09K sig so I didn't think I would attract that many that were not visible.

     

    And the whine continues,

    Mim
