I thought that it would be cool to "space" items from your inventory. You could mark edges of gravity wells. Granted another player could pick up the bread crumbs you left but it could be a fun addition some day.     Hansel and Gretel did it, Mim

Sorry but(t) I had to,     This reminds me of the age old question...Why do dogs lick their balls?  Because they can.     Just saying... Mim

Alurra,   I'm not trying to pick a fight but...   What I was trying to say is that if one is playing multiple characters AND using a macro to mine with one of them...missing a communication from a dev or GM is or could be understandable... Not saying that IS what happened but, there should be some method for the player to argue that point, other than take it on the chin.     Using the public mass message tool to warn the macro user (shame them if nothing else) prior to killing them off, seems a good alternative to assuming they are ignoring or AFK (mostly) on that character. .     Or better yet make it unacceptable in game to macro even if attended.  Seems as though this would clear up this very murky rule...   Annnnnnnnd ... If BL is the final word on this perhaps it should be reported to him prior to any punitive action is taken on the player in question.       Rambling thoughts of a mad man,, Mim  

It is time for me to weigh in on the “elephant” in the room. There has been a few argumentative posts lately referencing conflicts with the “Big Three” and or developers.   I myself had a run in a while back with a content developer... who IMHO mistook changing mob quantity and changing mob behavior to that of actually adding content. I tried to fight the good fight but was shot down early in the discussion and just left the game.   I still frequent the forums as it is hard to really leave my first mmorpg. I was a bit surprised that someone who was doing botting (as far as I know it is allowed) and targeted by a Content developer and not a GM for disciplinary action.   Please understand I am not taking a side one way or another on the use of botting. Personally I never understood the need to play more than one character at a time. But as long as it is allowed to play multiple characters AND to robo mine, there needs to be a method to send out notices to ALL that player's characters prior to killing off the suspected bot character. It is easy to miss text in chat and if playing more than one character...well you see the point.     So wall o text aside, I am suggesting we set up some form of Grievance arbitration.     "Grievance arbitration is a system created for collective bargaining relationships that provides the parties with a procedure for final and binding resolution of their disputes that arise over the interpretation, administration, application or alleged violation..."   http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/G/GrievanceArbitration.aspx   Instead of just taking the attitude of “We don't get paid” so we do what we want. To possibly the aggrieved may possibly (although not likely ;)) have a valid point and should be heard.   Details for this process can be worked out fairly easily as there are really only two players that HAVE to be involved. As for others that will make the final decision thay can be pulled from both the player base as well as staff.       Just saying, Mim

Windows 10? It seems one of the more recent updates has blacklisted this site as well as LaunchNet7.exe.  I use Chrome for browser so bypassed that one,  I still get the "Are you sure you trust these guys and gals?" prompt when running the game.       Just saying, Mim

In answer to your question about "as good as" In most ways it it way better.  The forgotten classes are in game, as well as additional sectors.     Just saying, Mim

I came back in to say that really sucks!!! I know you live someplace on the west coast and most likely in the best of oncology care... Having some experience in the medical field (read 30+ years) I would like to suggest you  at least check out the following site:   https://medicine.wustl.edu/new-treatment-options-for-kidney-cancer/   Even though St. Louis has been getting a bad rap as of late, the medical school, Barnes etc. are all top notch, and cutting edge for new therapies.       Sorry for butting in....   Good Luck.... Mim

Damn it Matt... You drew me in out of self imposed exile! Perfect post and +1..     Grumble grumble grumble... Mim

Wow.... what a crock! in one sentence you say "group this is a social game" and in the very next you brag about how you multi box.  So what is it? Group or multi box? I know, everyone is entitled to their opinion but pick one!  Should I group OR Multi box?   I would also suggest you read the original post!!!!! Before chiming in with this. It started as a good nature post asking if the mobs had been changed in the Lagarto gravity well area.  It quickly devolved into all PS don't need to be mining in an area that the Cloakers can mine.  I have been mining this area since I hit level 50 on my PS, this was very shortly after we went Sunrise live.       And Flip....If you want to be an Advocate learn to read/understand the posts BEFORE you spew a suggestion that some areas should be only for JE's....      I enjoyed the area it was a challenge, I pulled ores, hulks, did a bit of fighting as my faction was such that the Bio's were my only threat.  I have no problem fighting 1 or two even at a time (read my other post), but when there is 4 or 5 and can see me now from what seems like a galaxy away it stopped being exciting.       Fix the frigging Agrippa back door!!!!!!!!!!  

READ the post.  One or two at a time is NOT < NOT the issue.... The issue is that it is NOT one or two anymore it is 3 and 4 and 5 at a time.     Not to worry I am done with the game.      Rage quitter, Mimir Out <click>

WTF??????????????????     So why don't we just get rid of the class altogether?

I tried to submit as a bug but the bug tracker will not work (for me) in Chrome nor Microsoft Edge.  :(   Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's Mimmy whiner!!!

Possibly but ...One Dev said nothing has changed, and another said that a challenge is fun, hinting like this is my first trip to Lagarto.   Something has changed.... If it is intentional that's fine fess up to the change.  If not let me know and I will report it as a bug.  

If I had cloak I would be OK with it as well, but I don't.  I slug it out or go powerdown.  I can as a PS fight off two but 3 or more and it is all she wrote.  It's not fun.  And let's not loose sight of the fact it is a game, it is supposed to be fun NOT not fun.     Lagarto is now only for groups (read multi boxers) or those that can cloak.  Solo play for a PS is a thing of the past.

Agree, but... One day it is mostly OK to mine.  Fight off a few of the Bio-Extractors and continue mining...Enter after a system restart and the Bio-Extractors have become VERY VERY VERY social.     If you say this is the way it has always been, I say, I want some of what you have been smoking.  I was there every day prior to the last restart.     It was changed... fess up!   This IS NEW for this area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     I would check any code surrounding the V'rix as the behavior is very close to theirs.  Not the diamond formation but the grouping.   Just saying Mim

  Sorry, I thought just the weird behavior would have triggered a memory.   It was the HUGE gravity well in Lagarto, the Bio-Extractor dudes and dudettes.  Nasty!  I spend more time in powerdown mode than pulling goodies. 

Has the mob AI changed lately? I am seeing what used to be mostly solo mobs, rarely a pair, now flying in formations of 4 or more.     All I can say is mining has become an exercise of futility.     Just saying, Mim  

Quick DOH!   I must have missed that, thanks.

OK...So If not a big deal I should remove all ammo and put in vault before using the mail feature? Also if the ammo goes should I remove the weapons and devices also? I would hate to loose my devices.

I think you missed my point.  When mailing any item (not ammo but you could).  All ammo that is loaded on the ship at the terminal is unloaded at completion of the mail process.  Not a bit deal, but now not only is it removed from the weapons but also goes to the great bit bucket in the sky.     P.S. The last mailing was worm bits and an ore.

I think the vault mail routine may have a problem.  I know that when using the mail function ammo will be unloaded from weapons.  While this is an inconvenience it is used so seldom was not a big issue.  The latest mailing caused the ammo to be not only unloaded but totally gone...poof!

I think that adding a check box and a drop down list of locations (Stations) to the launcher we could save quite a bit of travel time for the casual player.  This could be limited to x number of uses per day.  As a bonus, black holed players could fix the issue by themselves.        Additional thoughts: Only stations that the player has visited would be legal destinations A large large amount of credits would be charged   A random effect could be added sending the player to another location other than the one selected ( 50/50 chance) for players who can't or don't wish to pay the fee.   Might be fun.    

Hi Prre :)

These sort of topics really do bring out the best in all of us ....don't you agree?   I hate to say I told you so but, can we stop it now? Please?   Just saying, Mim
