    you need to have your sarcasm detector checked... I am serious... screw ammo... just make it unlimited... :)

    my .02

    How about an external ammo tug that get pulled along behind you - adds mass and slows down warp/thrust speed by 50%. Comes with free support that constantly keeps it full (unlimited ammo), but if you get blown up it also takes out anyone else within 5K of your ship.

    Will try that.. I really hope they fix the null that ishuan currently has right now as far as logging out there and coming back..

    Edit:

    Got the comps and engines build skills, what about weapons/devices?

    you should be able to get them also

    Excellent.. seeker just got her L30 HU.. now will be off to ishuan station. Later.

    Edit:

    Hmm, Are you sure its ishuaun station for some of the build skills? Because no one has anything to give my seeker as far as missions/skills, just references to ketsugo outpost by one of the npcs in the lounge. And she is L30 now... dont think that should affect build skill aquiring should it?

    you have to go through the talk tree correctly - keep trying different reply options

    Yeah, I noticed that.. just completed the 50 HU yesterday, and wonder HOW does one instigate the related bonus mission? spoke with all NPCs i thought relevant, but nothing..

    when you fly to the station in Mars, the message tab at the top of the screen blinks and when you click it you get the mission. You can only get it when eligible for the HU.

    Trouble is, some of the areas you show as being able to get to, are not yet operational in game. :huh::(

    But I hope they'll be operational soon.

    True, but as you go to each area getting explore xp you will come to know which areas are closed and which are not. I feel it's better this way so that as areas open up you will already have them on your map instead of having to wait till I come to know of the change and add it back in.

    p.s. cutting little bits of post-it notes over closed areas could help you clean up your printout ;)

    I talk to myself all the time so it bothers me little, but what does bother me is the number of folks who tell me don't use the forums because of bad experiences on other forums. In any case, its here for those who want to use it, and there's things in the background no one sees going on because the team uses it. As it stands now, and I admit I'm not sure when how or why this started working, you can pull it up at the news terminals in stations with many limitations. You can't log in so only get guest access, but I'm pretty sure you can browse some stuff. I plan on seeing how I can put this to good use. Maybe then folks will have more of an interest. Imagine being able to post items for sale and order ores and components via the terminal. Might be handy then. We can only hope.

    That would be a really nice feature!

    Why would we need to be even worse at combat than we already are? If anything we need to be marginally better than we already are. Or are you being sarcastic?

    I do think we need more non-combat abilities, but then again, that's what our 6 device slots are for. Give us more things to put in those. Now I do agree with things that make our support skills better, like something that buffs E-shield cast on fellow players, (L3 increases all deflects by 10, L5 of E-shield deflects some damage back at opponents, and still higher levels convert some energy into reactor power), or better scan buffs (since L7 scan shares scan with groupmates), or even a buff to JS (range boost, or less time to activate). There is even an item on Slayerman's database that reduces XP debt as a buff. Or even more items that reduce our sig, or our ability to buff other players.

    nope, not being sarcastic at all - I would love nothing more than three new beams with stackable buffs that decrease any aggro (so you would need to have all three equiped to make much use). Or some way to give us a more advanced cloak that will mirror closest mob (no aggro). Something along these lines that make us unable to do dmg and also unlikely to take it (higher lvl mobs would not get fooled).

    We definitely need new beams, but given Manes I can think of one that already fits this description. The Ghost's Edge gives buffs that are useful to mining in Reactor Recharge & Scan, so and Cloak to help avoid being seen. The beam, however, is useless against the Manes that guard many orefields. I'd favor a Plasma beam with average stats, and a Fast Tractor beam buff instead. Fast tractor beam is quite useful in mining and Plasma for when that Manes has aggroed, and you are willing ot fight back instead of always running. When levelling up, a Prospect buff on a beam is fine too, provided, it has something else buff wise that would cause the JE to use it in lieu of a Sculptor device. When the JE reaches L8 Shields, and the Mordana drops are in, the Veiled Oyoroi gives buffs to reactor cap/recharge, as well as prospect, and Scan (though the Scan buff is less than the GE's).

    I'm looking more at the JE getting things that make us even worse at combat in order to give us more to non-combat abilities. I'd be flying around looking like "Smiling Bob" with his "sack full of confidence" if I was flying around with zero combat ability but jaw dropping other stats! :)

    I think we could use some new JE only beams that have good mining stats on them but poor combat stats. In fact I would encourage a whole line of equipment that would help JE's do anything other than fighting and make combat harder.

    If cloak gets back to how it should be there is no need for a JE to have to kill any mobs in a mine field, just cloak and wait for it to move on then continue mining (this is what I spent most of my time doing in live at 150).

    Xulei, love your work and use it often, thanks much ;)

    I just noticed that in Nostrad Var space sector your map looks a little different than what I remember. :lol:

    Yours has the gate in the upper left with seven navs going south and then four more going east from the bottom one, (11 navs) all of which I believe are correct.

    I remember a few navs also going north from the gate, then navs also going east to end at "Crossdock Beta", I think. Which makes the sector look a little like a giant squared-off capital "C" with the gate in the middle on the left, and the planet roughly in the center right of the sector, and a bit below middle, and about 19 navs total.

    Maybe its changed, or changed back, as things here do ;)

    TooTall

    Yeah I expect a lot of these zones may change a bit yet - I'll have to have another look as I get all my toons leveled.
