Hey Dima long time no see.
yea it's gone no more public svn.

I don't get the feeling we can control the color of NPCs' names, and I know we can't put anything over their heads. I'll look in the NPC avatar packet structures and see if there's any fields that we don't know the use of that potentially could be used to change the color of their names or something. Also, maybe Tienbau or David know how to do something like this.
Maybe there's already a trigger in the client. When you are grouped with other players their name is dark purple in stations. Maybe we can use that?
-
really? does anyone have a screen shot of this. There are quite a few unknown opcode params for NPC's so I guess this could be one of them.
In short No.... He's remembering WOW.. I'm not sure though maybe they did something with the NPC name that was another color For instance GEEN name = I have a mission for you. Yellow name i'm just here looking pretty.
For sure no question mark or exclamation mark. Wow the question mark was you are doing a mission for this npc. Exclamaition mark i have a mission for you.

A lot of people like enb because you explore things by yourself because they are unknown.
If all missions were handed on a platter some of that magic would be taken away.
A better solution for getting people more involved with missions would be:
- Rewarding players decent enough for the time spent finding and completing
- Not making them mind bogglingly cryptic
And not just some missions, all need to be worth it.
I don't suggest we get handed everything on a silver platter but some hints like if your lvl xx you might wanna go here for some missions to do.

Maybe i've missed it somewhere on the site but i'm looking for an up to date mission list.
I've noticed while playing and leveling up new alts that it's mostly grinding outside the mission you do for skills. I think most players will grind their way to 150 without doing much missions for the simple fact that they don't know where the missions are and when to get them.
Suggestion.
Why not have a list with all the missions in game with level requirement so players can actually plan them in their grind schedual.
Postivie side of this is that missions will be actually done this way.
and not skipped over.

Okay, I'm an idiot. Well, a part time idiot at least.
Lol your not you can't remember everything thats in game so don't worry about it. About this single clicking thing could there also be a key combination to Single click with option key to place the item clicked into the trade window. I know there are keys to put stuff in your vault but trade window would be nice for trading loads of stuff with easy clickings.

i have an issue with this.. as it appear as though some one has reported me for something i havent said\done and i have been booted from the guild...
i did not nor have i ever used profanity in this game and i take exception to be accused of.. i did however say
"Ahrimar lvl 3 aint worth the time. you shouldnt be on lvl 3 long enough to make it worth while pm... imho" but it appears to have been edited / doctored to make it appear as though i swore or abused him. which i categorically deny...
this comment is my opnion and was voiced as Ahmirmar was in my opnion spamming the guild chat because no one would build him items, after declaring that "this guild doesnt live up to its name", i replied with my statement (minus the added edited extra content) and that was the only comment i made on the subject.
it would appear that ahrimar has taken an issue with my opnion and rather than comment back or express his differning opnion to me has regeistered a complain against me and had me booted from the guild.
its a shame as although i am relatively new to the guild i was begining to get to the friendly and helpful characters within it.
whilst i agree there is no place in the a guild or gaming community for people who grief others and they should be asked to leave, in this case the accusations are entirely unfounded ( i mean really in his poorly edited log the attributed comment i was meant to have made doesnt even make sense and he even left in the imho .. a polite thing to say when griefing someone no?? ) and i wasnt asked to defend myself or even if this was true. Of course i respect mr magoo as the guild leader and dont expect him to have to waste his time chasing up every complaint, but still i would have liked the opertunity to defend myself.
having said that, i wish the guild all the best and will try and not let this ruin my experience of this great resurected game.
peace out.
He's right logs can be edited There is no way to protect the system from this. To make sure he din't say it or did say it there should be proof from other members that where online at the time. And ofcourse they will have the same chat log. Or PARANOID MODE ON. They all edited their logs because they don't like me !!! Paranoid mode off.
anyways logs are no proof.

Would it be possible to slightly alter the comps booths so that they displayed the "level" of comps that they had for sale, so you don't have to keep going from booth to booth if you have a really bad memory like me?
Cheers,
Paul
Easyest way to do this Wihtout changing the client would be to change the name of the vendor to Vendorname LVL X

It doesn't matter to me what range warp is.
If you want it reduced and if the devs want to make it like it was in game find some proof of the range there are some vids of players flying though sectors maybe it's in there. Go by collective memory idk.
Whatever distance is chosen is up to the devs they chance the number on the server for warp distance. So convince them it should be 1K and make it happen.
Just saying i remember it being over 4k 3.99 no workie 4.00 warp possible.
Now ofcourse i could be wrong but until somebody shows me look here is proof ill keep trusting my memory of the game.
Id suggest you get this pushed onto the developers agenda.

I remember 4 K range minimum for warp engines. Maybe we have some vids from live game that could help us figure this out.

Hi 2 things.
When i was managing the server we did some tests about usage for one player to have a prognosis on how many players we could host on a 100 MBit line.
For different actions there where the following results.
You download from the server Per player this amount:
For flying around warping in a sector not doing much 0 to 1 KB/s in bursts every couple of seconds.
When fighting alone with a group of mobbies around 2.5KB/s This includes you the spawn your scan range and missles pl's beams everything that's handled by the server.
For group combat 6 players all grouped together the spawn and everything in their scan range. The scan share of JE and all that good stuff about 10kb/s Constant transmission.
When changing a sector from one to another there's a Blip of one or 2 seconds of 10kb/s. This due to a file needing to be copied over that's 14KB.
All sizes mentioned above in Kilobytes Per Second.
You Upload to the server the following.
Position reports and some odds and sods Never reaching above 1KB/s thoughout the game.
This will tell you what a Kilobyte actually is.
To make it easy.
A 56K 6 Modem will get a top speed if your line was good of about 7.5 KB/s
A ISDN modem will get a top speed of 11 KB/s single line. Doulbe line will reach 22KB/s
A 1 Mbit internet ADSL connection Will reach at top speed 128KB/s
An averige simple broadband connection would be 5 Mbits Download en 1 Mbits upload
This would give you 640KB/s Download and 128KB/s Upload
Now on to your problem there might be some packet sniffing scanning software either on your computer or on your network hardwarde that checks the contence of packets as they come to you though the internet. This could label some packets sent by our server as Malicious or just takes to long to scan them.
Or you have the large packet option on in the client and your ISP doesn't support large package sizes.

Ofcourse we don't expect to be guided like sat nav. But little hints would be nice. Especially if you get sent from joves to zweilander find sam ohh hi yea i need jenniepie parts (mention what part it needs) go back to joves get part fly back to zweilander. Ohh i need another part too its called BLAH. Rince repeat. That's a guaranteed angry player.
If those parts could be looted from say a mob you had to kill beforehand the npc could tell you i see you have found parts for Sam be sure to keep those or something along those lines.
Players don't mind fighting to get stuff but aimlessly wandering around the galaxy tends to make angry pilots.

The mob AI,
I've just started playing again and i thought to be different i'd make a TE. Well after a day or so of playing my new strat to quick level is not to Kite everything in sight but if i get caught in range by a single mob i just Plop in behind them and shoot them to bits. Seems they can't turn on a dime and if you have a mob that uses Beam/PL (most do) they can't fire at you if you are behind them. Alternating between circling above or below them makes them confused:)
Me Likes although i'm guessing the Mob ai still needs a bit of polishing.

Keep in mind guys that this whole ticket thing has an upside to game development and is one reason it was inplenmented. Basicly if there's a ticket for the problem it gets registered. The soulition is added to the ticket so that if the problem occurs again the solution is at hand straight away giving a shorter turn around time for problem registration / solution.
The other upside is basicly if a problem starts occuring more frequently there can be an investigation and the tickets from the past can show when the problem started and sometimes how it got started. This will help the developers have a shorter turn around time noticing trends after updates and fixing them quicker.
So yes it's more hassle to make a ticket but we do get a huge Return on investment.
Fades back into the background....

Something happened that made them hide the development i think it was a split in the project. Anyways i'm just a player these days stay away from the politics of it all and just enjoy my game time.
