  1. Make some of the loot stacks of L1-L9 Tiles  60 tiles x 50 = 3000 RD fix. Not unreasonable to think this kind of place might be a gambling den?
  2. +1  Yes please.   Number of builds - by line (dev, react, eng, ML, comp, etc) Number of prints - by line Ave quality L7 Ave quality L8 Ave quality L9 Build Skill Factor or whatever it is that calculates our likely print quality   The last one is so that we can work on improving - you don't have to tell us how its calculated.
  3. I love my AB and maxed it asap.  Its a life-saver and a time-saver.  I would like to see it extended to higher skill level and have a slightly higher warp, combat speed and group effect.   One thing I often do is mine out a L8 mineral (refined) and find my reactor is empty - I can at least start blasting out while the reactor recharges for 3 secs before I can warp to safety.  AB is essential.   And of course the noise it makes is awesome when its coming out of the sound system and the subwoofer is on! ROOAAARRRR....
  4. I had a JE and a TS with max scan looking for these elusive beasties in ABG.  I think they must be hiding.
  5. And if you are using an ancient DB like enbarsenal forget it.  Glamour Goo does not drop from Dish Dervishes in ABG, perhaps try the PP starter zone or kill Sand Worms in Nor V.
  6. My anecdotal evidence points to a couple of people using job bots to grab several jobs as they appear and discarding the ones they dont want.  Rinse and repeat until you have the six jobs you want.  The jobs appear then disappear unnaturally quickly before you have a chance to react. The sucker stood next to them only has a low chance of getting anything.  They may well be attended macros but its a naughty little trick? My two cents anyway....
  7. +1 for more random spawns.   My solution would be to give the miner(s) who complete the field (those that are in the area and get the field completion xp) a message that tells them roughly when the field will respawn.  If the respawn is more random, and less predictable then there is a great incentive to clear the field.    "Respawn in approx 5 hrs".   I suspect Kyp would say the coding would be relatively easy (?).   I still maintain 'cherry picking' is not a problem as the fields respawn anyway.  What I suspect is the real problem is just some people fretting that someone else got there first.  Get over it and put the time in to watch and record spawn times.  If you want the cherries then you have to be there first.
  8. I suppose what really is at the heart of the question are 2 things - first, an accurate faction chart showing the trade-off (and some clarity on things like The Alliance and Net-7), and second a means of selectively rebuilding regard with each faction (no matter how tedious the grind is).   The hand-ins are a great thing.  Elsewhere it was suggested that the Bogeril would love stacks of debris which also solves part of the cherry-picking issue (well maybe not - us miners are whiners?!) For those poor Chavez perhaps we could find another weed to smoke like their herbal remedy.   We used to have jobs for RD - pretty please can we have those back :) Other job owner types? VRIX ! When do we get the Vrix again lol.   As you get further into the game we all realize we need faction for build, gate access, peace when mining, etc.  We also have professions which have quite large faction differences.  I don't think anyone thinks that differences are bad idea but we do need a roadmap to rehabilitation if we have been slaughtering the wrong thing.
  9. My TT hull upgrades got borked at L48.  Now L75 and have the silly 1m credit request and the upgrades are not advancing.  Thanks in anticipation....  ComponenTT
  10. I had the opposite problem - my Dell Latitude died a few weeks ago.  More than 10 yrs old, no USB, rattling old disk and NT5/Win2000! Now on Win8 which I hate.
  11. Me also - Componentt - was L48 when it fouled up - now L51
  12. Oh -by the way some of you might remember Elvisharwen.  Quite the mission guru, and my daughter.  Anyhow, she is just about finished her BSc and MSc in astrophysics  :blink:  and is about to start a PhD in high energy physics. Megabeams here we come?
  13. Hey Skibum!  If you like the JE try the new Terran Scout as well.  See you ingame.
  14. Exactly Terrell.  There is no issue.  Just be there first!  Get to know your fields, know its respawn and plan ahead.
  15. Hmmm.  Interesting. Is it a mission item? Where did it drop?  Sounds like a trigger for a MOB perhaps?   Item info: "Xenocafenal acts as a powerful stimulant to some forms of exotic life. Prolonged exposure to the drug results in premature aging and death."   You need the /restoreinv command to get rid of it.  Clear all items from you hold in a station. Undock and use the command.
  16. I thought we have had this confirmed on many occasions that a picked field respawns anyway. As I have always said, I'm usually happy to strip a half picked field and get the bonus you missed, but if there is a cherry ITS MINE!
  17. I'm quite happy for builds to be difficult as it then rewards the people who spend time developing those skills - many of which are expensive or time-consuming.  But if there is a build-curve then I wish there was guidance from the devs explicitly stating what those factors are so we can work at them. Work=reward rather than mindless activity=frustration.   From what I can glean: Obviously Build level Station faction Number of prints analysed - is that a percentage of devices, or shields or whatever, or is it all builds combined.  Do TTs have a build in advantage once they build lists across all of their skills. Or can a non-TT specialise in their build skills and get good? Number of builds made - is it skill in a particular item, skill at a level, skill at devices or whatever? Things like the matrix device that add to build skills. Interface/Overrides - can we get these working again? Grouping with other builder? Rabbits foot? Fingers crossed?   Do I bother stripping and rebuilding everything I loot to make a 200% DG possible, or do I just need to crack open 5-10 DGs and rebuild those?   I like to build, and I like to get 200% and I'm happy to devote credits and time to get what I want.  But I don't like wasting my limited time I have.  My advice is to either accept your own lousy quality, work on it, or cop out and go to our fave builders - props to Vaden, Magoo et al who support us in our hour of need.   (Its the same with Turbo - the average player(?) struggles to comprehend the various posts on the mystique of Turbo stacking.  Just let us know the math behind it.)
  18. Now for RM, JS, Boudecia, Gangaric, Doc, Jak !!
  19. HEY! A lot of familiar names there. I may be rejoining the game very soon. I'm recovering from a series of eye ops (since early 2012) and am not quite at the stage I should be playing for more than an hour at a time. However, things are looking brighter - literally. Seeing old pals will be a big bonus.
  20. One way to solve this is to make some big money sinks so credits become more valuable. Make a couple of missions with some absurd mineral and parts requirements and a something like a 500mil payment. Give a choice of things like a 'looted' Black Speed, DG, other nice stuff. Some may say things are only meant to be looted from GOBB. Meh. A second (difficult) route gives people outside the big guilds a chance at things, and it would eat money. You will still end up with the big players with all the stuff and all the money, but there will be many players who decide a 500m balance is just the ticket to spend on a new ML or laser. I'm missing the game - I'm nursing a badly damaged left eye since April and I have strict limits on how long I can use a computer - rats.... Things are improving though and I cannot wait to return.
