Id like to add the part where credits are pretty well not currency right now. The economy is so inflated you could multiply the amounts by 10 and it still would attract much attention i reckon I have a level 25 toon with 50 million on him, for perspective

Arent you a member of Static?

How do I get myself into these situations? stopcriticizingstopcriticizing Ill take a look later, but man thats a big wall of text x.x

A lot of it is repeat info, should be condensed a bit and checked for doubling and repetitiveness, otherwise like I said in guildchat, this is pretty boss. Like maybe make a navigation bar for Game History with drop down to the various parts. Timeline, Vrix Invasion, info about the history of the races, info about the planets, etc. Cause its one hell of a long tedious read otherwise.

Ive coded up many a stylesheet in HTML/CSS that would work nifty as hell in IE and not at all in Firefox and the other way around. There used to be tricks to "force" things to work right and get around incompatibilities. But IE has really made it rough, in a sense you almost need a whole different set of webpages in a different style all together to get IE to work. Its retarded. Especially with absolute positioning and DIV/TABLE tags. Its like Y U NO WORK???

Beta came at the perfect time too, cause we had that big population dip right at the end of ST4. Seems like everyones starting to trickle back. Its been nice, seeing people i havent seen in a while. Hopefully we are on an uphill for a while here.

I kinda wanna see how these came out. What I sent in was very raw and so on, i been looking forward to it.

With the exception of the Silver hammer, a PP can use pretty much anything a PW can. Mine personally had no problems at the level 8 tech. I dont think PP is lacking honestly, railroaded into one setup maybe but by no means lacking.

Tier 3 Missions (Level 75) Warriors: - War is breaking out in the Venus sector as the RD and Chavez begin to fight over the venus/ceres gate. You are tasked with going to nav ceres 1 and holding the line for 20 minutes while swarms of chavez attack your small group of you plus a few RDs. If all of the RD die, you fail the mission. - The unknown mobs are being identified as undercover agents of the IC/Sharim/Collegia alliance to destroy the RD. They have discovered the new base in Lagarto sector and have dispatched a small assault force to destroy it before it can threaten progen space. Destroy the assault force. Explorers: - - Traders: - -

I know this is all very raw so far. Theoretically I am trying to actually write a storyline for Chavez aligning with the trader factions to go after the RD everywhere, culminating in a warzone in Ceres (which could lead to that old thread we all had going a couple years ago about a chavez sector similar to BBW in Ceres) The idea is for players to align themselves on the side of the RD to thwart the Chavez Alliance and ultimately invade and defeat the chavez leadership for good (epic raid)

(Level 50) Tier 2 Missions, some building off of tier 1 Warriors: - Kill 20 of the Chavez in Venus around the venus foreman to clear the way for an RD invasion of the sector - IC/Collegia/Sharim have identified you as an agent of the RD. Kill 10 of each in self defense and take their gear to the RD contact - Return to your contact you delivered the crate to, and he will send you off on a mission to deliver more crates, and upon arrival you will attacked by 5 more unknown mobs Explorers: - Assist the RD in Lagarto by mining ores from the field in the western gravity well, and returning them to the budding base as building supplies. - You are tasked with discovering why the Informant went missing. Using the information from your previous encounter, backtrack the route the informant took and discover who he is actually working for. - The spy transmissions in Tier 1 pointed to an alliance of the traders forming with the Chavez. A plot to destroy the red dragons? Certainly not. You are tasked with traveling to 4 chavez mining stations and monitoring their transmissions to find out when the alliance is meeting Traders: - - -

Level 30/Tier 1 Missions (Warriors) - Hunt down and kill 5 Infinticorp mobs 5 Sharim mobs and 5 Collegia mobs and gather intel/loot from the corpses - Transport a crate of contraband to a location. Upon arrival 2 mobs around your cl will attempt to hijack/kill you. Delivery = success. - Provide combat support to a small flotilla of RD engaging the Chavez in Jotenheim or Freya. Avoid friendly fire at all costs. - Defend a Red Dragon outpost from a small attack group of Chavez - Escort a Red Dragon diplomat through hostile territory in Venus to meet with the Venus Foreman. The RD NPC cannot be killed or you lose and must restart. (Explorers) - Obtain several types of ores for the RD, amounts and locations to vary - Locate a hidden Chavez base in Ragnarok and report findings back to the contact - Map a safe passage route through some gravity wells in Lagarto so the RD can establish a base near the Appian Gate - Locate a missing Red Dragon informant somewhere in Odin Rex - Infiltrate and obtain secret transmissions from the three trader commercial centers (somerled, nostrand vor, ishuan station) through spy contacts already in place. NPC question/answer game based on game knowledge. (Traders) - Deliver a shipment of goods to the RD bases in the Aragoth system originating from OMP (2 or 3 dropoff points) - Construct items for the RD using whatever build skills the trader has. 10 weapons, 10 shields, etc - Acquire through negotiation or force of arms some Chavez weapons technology and deliver to the RD so they can reverse engineer it - Acquire through negotiation Collegia/Sharim/Infiniticorp secret technology as a spy and report your findings to the RD - Using whatever means necessary, make 500,000 credits and pay it as a tithe to the RD cause.

I actually run all my clients off the same admin account. I have never had this problem, and the only limit to me running multiple clients is the speed of my machine and what I am doing.

sounds pretty good honestly.

LOL Sheryl

haha dont forget "looting rights" for the no-trade stuff. youd see that all the time too, "will pay 2 bil loot rights to the next Fury of the Master or Skull Shield" Was insane

I wonder how much info is actually hidden away in those old threads.

I wouldnt call it a total waste. It gives us some very exact values on faction gained as well as tells us the hard caps for your home factions, associated factions (same race), and the minimum cap.

If you mean the original standings in live, man i dont even have a clue for PW, my main profession. I cant find any info on original faction standings. Like i said above, the sheer dearth of factional information outside of the charts is mind boggling. I guess thats what happens when a game is buried and forgotten about for 10 years. All i see are ranges and charts for what killing faction X did to faction Y. As far as Profession X starts with 5000Z faction, its simply not out there. Ill try a deeper search later, but im not too optimistic

Yeah I was thinking like a few level 50-75 missions to start for maybe 100 or 200 faction each and then it keeps progressing upward. Sorta like the idea of a hull upgrade bonus mission that you could only do once, but gave a good chunk relative to your level. Say something like... Tier 1/Level 30 missions (5 available) - 100 faction each (500) Tier 2/Level 50 missions (3 available) - 200 faction each (600) requires completion of T1 Tier 3/Level 75 missions (2 available) - 300 faction each (600) requires completion of T2 Tier 4/Level 100 mission (1 available) - 500 faction T3 pre-req Tier 5/Level 135 mission (1 available) - 1000 faction + a decent item. T4 pre-req Final/ Level 150 mission (1 available) - 1500 faction + some nice unique/maybe even uber item reward for doing all 13 missions successfully So total bonus for doing the whole questline would be 4700 RD faction, a nice item or two and prolly experience for each mission. It doesnt guarantee BBW access when youre done, but mix it up with some jobs and chavez killing and youve really gotten somewhere, even for progen.

are you sure its not installed? when does the error occur, before or after the installation process

did you apply the patches? install net7? run the patcher on net7?

HU30 also and no 150. 10/30/50/75/100/135 and yes 10 did give you faction. Basically the way it worked out was youd end up well over 10000 on whichever faction you affiliated with Home faction went up to 12000 or so depending on profession. The actual maxfaction in live was 15000. So when you finished all your ranks and so on you were usually like 12000 home and 8000-10000 with the other two of your race, give or take. Typically Progens and Jenquais were low-neutral to each other, and terrans usually friendly to both around the 4 or 5k level. I did some poking around and ill add some other faction things i found in my research. Its amazing how little info there actually is on EnB faction, even archived, other than the charts. http://home.swipnet.se/Hubba/factions.htm For a max of 9999 id say that would be fair 5 or 6 times 500
