Any of you using VMWare client? The default setting on these will cause timeouts if you're not actively using its NIC.

You ever used menace? Try it, PS throwing menace around is truly unbeatable... not. You might be confusing PvE Menace with arena PvP Menace where it actually is pretty useful since the other player is never higher CL than you (assuming CL50). In PvE, it works... sometimes when used on equal CL mobs, never on higher level MOBs and most of times on lower level MOBs. As such it is practically useless since it is fairly easy to kill equal or lower CL MOBs and the only time you like it work work is when that CL66 pounds on you but guess what? There is virtually 0% chance it would work on CL66 since it is a skill.

You're right about menace, it is "Arguably" the "best" skill. I will argue here that it is as effective as TT's Befriend, it just works in kind of in reverse. Ask any TT how useful that skill is.

Yes, please disclose the ST3 DB.

Maybe we could build it up in orbit but then what? row is around?

It is not missing Framework since the exceptions list Framework libraries as originators. I get this from time to time after updates due to missing entries in server address drop down list, for whatever reason... Once the exception hits, server address box is empty. Just hit ignore and select "NET 7 Multiplayer" and it should work.

Totally useless. It never works on mobs you'd like it to actually work on... which is way over your CL.

You could always JUST add a component indicator to the vendor name. Something to the tune "Jane Doe, I", "John Doe, IX", etc. This should be fairly easy to add to DB but might be problematic if any code references vendors by name instead of DB ID.

All you need is "VMWare Player" from vmware.com. You need to register (free) to download but otherwise that's all you need to do. Also download the manual so that you know what to do. It is not THAT complicated.

Works fine for me with gmail account.

Thanks, I will try that.

Isn't this map useless since it is missing new sectors?

Dunno, what I said is that the source code doesn't have a variable like that so maybe it is just wishful thinking. You know, some people claim that faction matters as well (does not yet), time of day as well, and when you hold your left ear and stand on the right leg does as well.

I thought I would add some "insider" info to the above. I walked thru analyze, dismantle and build source code for current server build and here are my finds, in addition to the stuff listed above: Jenquais get extra bonus to analyze chance. It is hard to tell what the exact amount is since the formula is pretty complicated and draws from characters stats, but it is sizable. Terrans get extra bonus to build quality. Again, it is not obvious what it is, the formula is pretty complicated. Progens get extra bonus to dismantle skill, you have higher chance to get each component. At least here it is obvious what it is and it is flat 20%. Also, I couldn't find anything that would indicate that amount of formulas would affect build quality, so I have to provisionally disagree on that one Knowing the above, you'd probably want to have Jenq character build uber rare items since they have the most chance to analyze these successfully. You don't want to fail analyzing these L9 scales. Common place items, use Terran. You will get consistently better results when building.

While menace can be sometimes helpful (but don't bet your life on it), the powerdown skill is outright useless, or was in live anyway, I had it maxxed out. It is a one way ticket, it either works or not. The problem is that you'd like it to work in the kind of situation when it will most certainly not work, when a much higher skill level mob attacks you and you are almost done for. Since that kind of mob has supreme skills, it will see thru your powerdown and send you home. Another skill to add to the junk bin is repulsor field, it reflects some of the damage you're taking back at mob but unless you have extra skill points you don't know what to do with, don't invest in it before other core skills are maxxed out. Gravity Link, again, questionable... It won't work most of times on the mob you'd like it to work on, e.g. a mob that has supreme firepower so don't bet on it as your survival skill. Other than these PS specific skills issues, the PS is certainly one of the most versatile class in game. You can pretty much do whatever you want with it and while not the best in any of the task, you will certainly be good enough to get you by.

YW and Merry X-mas to you too!

Quick question on reactor build skill. Can Jenquais make progen reactors at all or is there some kind of game restrictions on that. And vice versa, can PP make Jenq reactors? Thanks!

Anybody actually knwos how these characters appear in the actual game? Is it some kind of ini file or reg keys that get sucked into the game? I have Windows XP 64bit and the chars created with Starship Creator don't appear in game....

Had the same issue until: change network Card settings to "Connect at power on", "Bridged:" and check off "Replicate Physical..."

Not me. The only thing I could find is that high res map... anyway, EnB "universe" is so small you can memorize the map in few days so long you travel a bit... try that in Eve

The actual "new map" jpg was something like 3000x2500 pixels, I think I have it saved somewhere on my HDD... Edit: found it, should be attached to this post:

OP certainly has issues formulating his thoughts, but has a point though. Somebody with slow connection might be rightfully disturbed by multi meg downloads of some MP3s that add close to nothing to the game but force them spending sometimes hours downloading the stuff... So, be easy on OP.

What items will be available from this guy?
