Amethyst

I would change ISPs after everything I have read.  BUT be aware there may be financial penalties for moving, more work for the devs, disruption, the question of whether other hosts will accept the EMU, and the grass-is-greener possibility that another host will be no better.  That said, I think 1&1 sucks big time.

Removing Prototype Reorder worked for me - missing mobs and hulks on a couple of planets.  Weird.

Is it set as Run as Admin ? Also look at the windowed mode setting on the application icon.

Many many thanks.  At least it made me level my lowbies for a while.

Title says it all.  I'm not getting xp for building ammo comps or ammo.  A recent change and 'working as intended' or a bug?

NOS, Waking Nightmare, Good Fortune?

ST4 was fun, agreed.  Leveling was easier, MOBs easier.  But it WAS incredibly buggy with profession missions broken, stability issues, glitches, unavailability, stuck toons, and generally borked but improving all the time.    Live is (at least for me) stable, a lot of fun, with more content, more end-game interest.  If I get bored with one toon, there are 8 other professions to work on.  As for recreating Live and maintaining it as an exact replica (which bit exactly?) I don't think it flies.  If we just replicate the game at Sunset boredom will set in.  Every game moves on, and I trust our developers to create engaging storylines and new content to explore.  We hear people saying there is not enough content to keep interest alive and I'm all for extending the game further.  The Devs ask for, and get, input.  Being negative without constructive proposals won't move the game on.  I cannot wait to see more systems opened up, more missions, new equipment, more MOBs.   Long Live the Emulator!  Long Live the Devs!

The wiki editor scares me so I left out my edit, I also don't have accurate info.   I was going to add yum-o-rum guy in QAR, animal parts/brawn bits guy in Traders Fort, manes essences, ravelock aa devices, Lamotte precious metals Inverness Planet.   We need a column for rewards too.

+1 Mattsacre   What problem?  Devs have said on many occasions that fields respawn regardless of  incomplete mining.  The 'problem' people have is arriving second and knowing someone else got there first. Learn the spawn rates and be there first - solved. The idea that someone else should tidy up to your satisfaction seems odd - the field will reappear anyway.   There seems to be a lot less competition in the fields these days so I'm not sure what the fuss is about.

If it looks too good to be true it usually is.  Seeing 10 juicy L9s in a L7 roid is a sure sign.    I've noticed no difference this week, other than the toning down of the roid-monsters (boo - I like getting a bit of combat xp clearing up the mobs).   As Zackman says its chance.  You may see none in a field or several, every one might blow up or maybe none.  You may get 10 in a row on a bad (good?) day.  If you are mining 'at your level' then you dont notice them blowing up unless you hit 4 in a row in which case a bit of caution is needed.  If you are pulling L9s with maxed reactor and prospect but a thin shield then yes, it is a little scary - don't steal the candy unless you are prepared for the consequences!!

You just need to take the right stuff to him? But maybe there is a faction requirement.  I have confirmed he takes wreckage slag, scrap metal and escape pods.  Try these.  Lest us know if he still fails to talk to you.

I turned off Market and New Players as I don't like chat littered with derogatory terms like Nazi (even if it was a lame joke).  I've not played this morning as I'm not enjoying the grizzling and whittling and whining going on.  I had a coffee and a pastry at my deli, and enjoyed some spring sunshine.    It's a GAME.  I enjoy it. :)   I had a slow start to Live.  I had a series of eye ops last year and nearly lost my sight.  I missed live by 5 weeks and I'm still playing catch-up - I'm thankful I can see and thankful I can play EnB. I'd still like to get my hands on the Waking Nightmare ( help needed with the next 12 commanders pretty please!) - it is a nice bit of kit for everyone. I still need to level more toons to join my TT and TS - it's a little harder now but it will be done....   Chill guys....chill...

It is NOT that simple.  Virtually every game has some kind of mining/cropping element, and the higher the reward the higher the risk.  If you want a no risk game then there is always Hello Kitty.  www.hellokittyonline.com :blush:

Risk v Reward.  I have mentioned the lack of guardians in high level fields in many posts before.  High level fields SHOULD have high level guardians - botting or not.  Pop-roids should be popping appropriate MOBs too.  If you want easy mining then go to Io and Jupiter.  If you are wanting L8 and 9 ammo and weapon ores then you should also expect it to be a little tougher. Now if those MOBs were also dropped interesting loot along the lines of normal MOBs then people would be out there helping clear them.      It's less of a 'war on miners' than a 'war on lazy miners'?

One way to dig out this info is to do a search like 'show me L7 engines, manufacturable, that I cannot build'.  Easier if you have most engines printed.   You can also 'show cookbook' but its not in an easily digestible format that you could paste into a spreadsheet.   One answer is to mine everything and keep everything - start those ore mule now.   However - that all said, there is not a huge market for most things except ammo ores.  If I were you I'd start a TT and a Warrior too.

A lot of this information is kind of out there already.  Flechette ammo needs Toxic Substrate which needs Worm Bits ans Persephonite.  Look up Worm Bits and you find its also used in three different substrates. Look up Flechette and you find the weapon and you can see it needs Profero Manus Manu, Foedius vox Redivivus, and Stage II Encryptions.  Look up these and....you get the picture.   I like the idea of Agrippa but its too impenetrable for me to bother starting (just yet).  I would LOVE to see a list of the Agrippa components, equip and weapons, and another list of the new mission-only rewards.  That would be a very good start and might kick off interest in Agrippa and the missions.

I'm with Mattsacre. I'm loving the game.  There is a lot more content, more missions (particularly for L150+), systems to explore, equipment.  I like the raid triggering (if only I could find a feather), but I would like to see more raids (loved the halloween raid PLZ can we haz it back).  I'd like to know where AAs drop - I mine frequently in high lvl places and not one L8 AA. Raids are hard for most people, and are means to obtain better kits which in turn makes the raids easier.  But they ARE hard when you first start.  I tiny whinge I have is the new menace makes it even harder for the next round of toons reaching L150.   Those people who rushed thru to 150 in a matter of weeks need to take a chill-pill and take a more relaxed look at a new char.  Its a game after all.   If you want to have some creative and practical input then please list ways that 'end-game' content can be added. I can see Vrix in my future, Ole Homestead, Ardus, the Maelstroms.  And maybe some surprises?   We do have to remember this is not a paid workforce with a department of 50 techies. Props to the Devs and GMs. + + +

Hilarious!

Hey Kahk!  We ended up joining a bigger guild.  Several of us are with VonCorp.  Ask in game.

TS L125. 200% Trifid L8 engine (60% less radar footprint). Base is 0.8k.  Fitted, the sig is 0.5   Add a vendor Pleiades L7 reactor - supposedly Reduce Ship Signature (activated) 25% less radar footprint.  Activate - but the result is still 0.5.    Am I missing something or is this broken?

This I like.  Just as much as I like the 'new' professions getting a little more lurve with special buffs in new kit.  More opportunity for interesting missions, etc.   How about the SiSL Bubble Machine? Looney's Bubble Gun? Phat Traders Protector?

I was caught out by this the other week - minotaurs go down slowly - so I forfeited thinking they would go away.  They don't.  Some pals noticed and smacked them for me.  Lesson learned.  Don't do minotaur missions, and if you do ask for help to kill them (and you still get the mission reward if you shoot first.

Just to point out, it IS possible to get faction up for both gates and give yourself a very useful shortcut.
