Yup, Georgie Lucas made no bones about the fact that he was 100% Done with the Star Wars films from now on. Damn, he's been doing those films for most of his adult life. Yet, there is still a massive, global, knee-jerk market out there for anything StarWars....so, the logical thing to do is SELL OUT!. Since Lucas was smart enough to form his own companies and not trade them publicly.....the check from Disney for $4 BILLION went directly into George Lucas' pocket. WOW. (2 Billion in CASH & 2 BILLION in Disney stock). Disney (if they play their cards right), will milk these tits till the cows come home....Toys, Rides, games, clothing, peripherals, and an announcement already that they have 3 more Star Wars films already on the books to come out every 2 years. If wildly successful for Disney, Lucas' 2 BILLION in Disney stock will double and triple.

Yes, I believe the only way to change an Avatar name is to have the Dev's do it for you.

Did you try this? [url="https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/6010-inv-300-error/"]https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/6010-inv-300-error/[/url]

I've noticed the warp error not just with Ceiling and Floor roids, but also with warping to one of my alts. I will warp an alt to a proposed kill/grind site and park that alt +15k above the mob nav point. If I try to warp to this alt....it creates the warp error...I get to about 9 k from my alt, and about 12k below him, and warp right on past. I have to manually drop out of warp and thrust to my alt manually. This is the same with ceiling the floor roids. So it seems to be a game programming problem with basic game structure of warp limits.

Assuming you have two separate accounts and want them both running at the same time and you have already opened one account successfully, when you try to open the second account and get the "Game Client is Already Running" window...it is a weird bug that happens periodically....I still get it sometimes. In which case you just have to try again, or maybe twice. Always seemed to work for me. .

There are many things left out of the Emulator that the original "Live" version had, some of which will be added back as the game progresses along. The Emulator now, however, has quite a number of areas that were never in "Live": Castor, Altair, Proxima Centauri, Nostrand Vor (in Altair) and Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, Mercury, Venus, Ceres/Thule, Ganymede, Equatorial Earth and Mars Gamma (all in the SOL sector) to name a few. Its amazing to me that this game is still so impressive for a game developed prior to 2002. There is some magic in the game design that fosters the most friendly, helpful community of gamers I've ever seen. My favorite game of all time -> thanx to the DEV's for all the amazing work they have done so far to resurrect E&B. VIVA Earth & Beyond! .

I use FileZilla myself. There are 1250 screenshots in a number folders. total size = 950 Mb. If you want the pages from my notebook I will have to scan them all and include those too: 23 pages. I'm not an expert in the FTP world, but when I have FTP'd stuff to other peeps in the past, they gave me an address to FTP it to, I used Filezilla to do it with at my end. If you don't have an address, help me understand what I need to do to get all this info to you. .

I have also noticed a huge increase in gate crashes and docking crashes all in the last two weeks. I have been crashing 4-5 times a night. A number of months back I had a lot of gate crashes and was advised to make sure that two boxes were check on the load screen: "Prototype Reorder" and "Packet Optimization". After I did that, I had no more problems until the last two weeks. Now gate crashes and docking crashes are worse than ever. I sent in a ticket and was told it was checked out and it was at my end and I should re-install everything. .

EA GAMES: The Bain Capital of the Gaming world.

Ha! Yeah, Bastards that they are...our best protection from being closed down by EA is most likely that it would cost them money to do so with no possibility to make a dime from their action. I don't think the huge negative press they would get (imagine the global gamer's outcry), would even enter into their equation, they seem to be immune to the giant negative image they already have.....

Will do, Zack. Where should I send them to? .

[color=#CCCCCC][font='Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(21, 25, 25)]I have all my old screenshots from live, around 8 folders of pictures...probably 1,000 pics. I also have my spiral bound notebook I kept from E&B Live. This notebook has build lists, some missions outlined, tour charts for Ardus, certain equipment stats and a few mission outlines. I'm assuming that this information and perhaps the screenshots might be of some use to the Dev team. If this is so, I would be happy to FTP the pictures to someone on the DEV team and scan the pages of my notebook and send them over as well. Just let me know and we can coordinate this project.[/background][/size][/font][/color] [color=#CCCCCC][font='Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(21, 25, 25)](I also have my original E&B box with CD, all booklets, the wall poster, etc in excellent condition and my original copy of the Official Primus Guide to E&B. This stuff was an important part of my life, so I knew exactly where it all was when I connected with Emulator and started playing again).[/background][/size][/font][/color] [color=#ee82ee][font=georgia, serif][size=5][background=rgb(21, 25, 25)]RIANA[/background][/size][/font][/color]

If you stop short of a nav, cloak and sneak in...the nav wont activate....you Must warp straight in to the nav to activate the mob. As soon as you hit the nav point the mob spawns instantly, if not...Then there is something wrong.

True, In my snapshot I did not scroll to the end because I wanted to show the #16 condition. Scrolling to the end or not, one must click the "I Agree" button to play the emulator. All I was pointing out here is the ease in which EA Games could close the Emulator down at any time, especially if we attempt to go "Live"...in which case we would really come onto their radar....and bastards that they have repeatedly shown themselves to be, I wouldn't put it past them to close it down on entry #16 as the grounds for doing so. I guess my point here is wanting the DEV's thoughts and strategies on this issue and what convinces them that this is a non-issue and that they are safe to move forward with this Emulator through beta testing and eventually into a full public "Live" release that EA Games will, for some reason ignore. Is there some legal precedent that would protect us from being closed down that I am unaware of? Just looking for thoughts and re-assurances here. Perhaps there are none to be given. Whichever, I am still happy to be back playing E&B under any circumstances...although I would prefer that we don't go and do something that would [i]guarantee[/i] that we get the game closed down by EA Games. [color=#ee82ee][size=5][font=georgia, serif]RIANA[/font][/size][/color]

That would be cool...go in and change it...haha. But now there is NO option if you want to play the emulator...you MUST scroll down and click "I AGREE".

Its another one of those grey areas of game play.... A). Missions might demand a certain ore, so you go out to a likely field, scan each ore in the field till you see the ore you need and go mine it...rinse and repeat till you got the ores you need and leave. -->>Perfectly normal game play. . Collecting specific ores for components for a weapon or a device, etc...once again scanning ore fields for the ones you need....mine them and leave. -->> perfectly normal game play. C). Clearing everything in an ore field for fun and profit, plus the bonus xp from clearing the field. -->> perfectly normal game play. D). Cherry picking only the ores you want from asteroids and leaving the rest in each asteroid. --> still legal game play, but being an asshole. E). Cherry picking all the lvl 9 asteroids in a field and leaving all the rest. --->>> legal..is this being an asshole or a semi-asshole? Unfortunately, the solution to some problems cannot be legislated away...like being thoughtful of how your actions are effecting other players. Some things require maturity and awareness and being thoughtful and kind to those around you. You cant pass a law against being an asshole.

Every time we all play this E&B Emulator, we scroll down and press "Accept" to the window below......

Very Useful thread Heirku... [color=#ee82ee][size=6][font=georgia, serif]RIANA[/font][/size][/color]

I agree Manasseh. Earth & Beyond had a very special place in my life and my son's life as well. We were heart broken when EA Games nixed it for bad reasons. I have boycotted all EA games now since 2004 when E&B was closed down. So, to see what the Emulator Dev's have done here is totally amazing to me. I can't imagine what commitment over the past eight years this has required of them. CONGRATULATIONS. I have also been wondering what the "End Game" goal is for the Dev team with the Emulator since raising the stakes with this new Beta Test phase of the Emulator. I wonder about the copyright issues and the bastards at EA who, I'm sure, would have no scruples about swooping in and closing the whole thing down if they wished. So, I tend to think that this Emulator will never go "Live", since that would put this game square on the EA radar and force a response. Every time we boot up the Emulator, the legal window pops up and we have to push the "accept" button to get into the game. Number 16 of what we are agreeing to specifically forbids the creation of an Emulator game: [b]"You will not create, use, play, or provide an emulator or other site where Earth & Beyond may be played and you will not post or distribute any utilities, emulators or other software related to Earth & Beyond without the express written consent of EA. You will not attempt to play Earth & Beyond on any service that is not controlled or authorized by EA"[/b] By the way, Manasseh, in the Net7.com Forums there is a "Donate" button on the top bar that allows you to donate. The Devs stop accepting donations the minute the current month's expenses are met, otherwise there is a tax liability for any "profit" over and above operating costs. So, best time to donate is at the beginning of the month otherwise it is rejected. [font=georgia,serif][color=#EE82EE][size=6]RIANA[/size][/color][/font]

This discussion is a recurring theme of every online game...and it reflects the difference between common courtesy among people and those who are always "me first". Common courtesy in game and in real life, dictates that we are free to do as we chose as long as it does not negatively effect someone else's life or experience. This is the same general rule in gaming as well. The type of person who would create a Bot program to steal all the jobs at a terminal, then cherry pick the ones they want and screw anyone else who might be there trying to also get a job, is an unfortunate fact of life in the human experience. The battle for the DEV's has always been the dance with these type people to eliminate that type of activity somehow.....until the jerks create a work-around. This activity is an EXPLOIT, pure and simple and making this kind of activity a Ban-able offence seems to be the only real way to make it mostly go away....it strips the casual jerks down to the hard-core jerks. Then the DEV's must have a positive way of identifying who is Botting and ban them. In my experience, the E&B community has been better at not having a lot of jerks...way better than any other game I've ever played....but there's a bad apple in every barrel and those bad ones must be identified and removed or it spoils it for all of us.

Thanks for this topic, I was wondering why my neg sig didnt seem to be working on my JE.

Welcome back Gandef. Most of us are refuges from the old days of E&B who have all - through many stories - found our way back home. I was on the Andromeda server and my first lvl 150 char was my JE, Ashiata....whom I resurrected here in the Emulator as Ashiata, JE with the exact same designed ship and colors. What a trip. I'll be watching for you. [color=#800080][size=6][font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif]RIANA[/font][/size][/color]

Spektyr....most excellent job on the guides. I used them in live and searched them out again when I began playing emulator. They're all still out there...and still relevant and excellent.

I use Teleport Enemy all the time to pull mobs out of a group....I move in just enough to get in range, turn around and Teleport them away from group to a direction somewhere ahead of me...and hit them again as soon as they materialize....i will usually hit them 3 times and then cloak and attack.....3 foldspaces away is far out of range of their buddies. Most mobs immediately make a fast bee-line back to their comrades, so i usually have to make sure i can intercept them as they try to get back to the pack I drew them from. I have also used Summon in a similar way, although I have to get much closer to the mob before I am in range. But its possible to summon and turn around and teleport them away a few times to a nice quiet kill spot. [size=5][font='lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif]RIANA[/font][/size]
