    The Armored Solar Sail is no longer an engine, its a device. The 420 warp speed you have is likely from a device (200% RR+ maybe?), and the Solar Sail is not providing any. You must have had it equipped in your engine slot before it was changed to a device. So right now you dont actually have an engine equipped.

    Now that's interesting.

    You can change EnB's display settings by running the "E&BConfig.exe" tool. If you installed EnB to the default directory, it should be in "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\EBCONFIG". If you're running a 32-bit operating system, remove the "(x86)". After changing settings in the config tool, be sure to click "Performance Test"; for some reason the tool doesn't like to save settings otherwise.

    Just an idea but perhaps we could just start a new thread/vote were everyone just posts the name of the person that has their vote?
    That way you can see the name of each voter and the IP thing will not be an issue.

    The polling system actually includes a feature where you can show who votes for whom, but I think a secret ballot system is best.

    Note:
    This thread is about electing a new community advocate; if your comment has nothing to do with that, post it in General somewhere.

    You may be missing some DirectX files that aren't necessary used by modern games. Try installing DirectX again to ensure you have all the files: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35

    Assuming you're running Windows 7, if that doesn't help, try running the Character and Starship Creator in compatibility mode by right-click on the program or shortcut, selecting "Properties", switching to the "Compatibility" tab, checking the "Run in compatibility mode for" checkbox and selecting "Windows XP (SP3)" from the drop-down box.

    With a community like enb hiding things doesn't work. Ask where to find anything and you usually get an answer in under 5 minutes 99% of the time.

    Even in live you could ask, and usually get an answer through a pm usually not broadcast like it is alot of times now.


    If I know where something drops I will usually pm the person asking just so they know and do not create a mad dash to grab it.

    If the devs don't believe me create a new non dev labeled toon, log in and ask yourself. So hiding drops is kind of a mute point imo.

    We know. That's the point. There's no reason to present all the data when the community already collects it naturally. If the whole raw database were available EnB would be less of a game and more of a tedious activity, receiving orders from a spreadsheet.

    I do have a question though, my roommate also plays the game (though I'm not sure he has enough posts to vote or not) if he happens to vote for the same person I did would that be seen in the database as me voting twice? We do have separate accounts and his is not linked to my email or forum account.

    I was wondering the same thing, as there are multiple accounts and multiple players in my household, sometimes on the same computer.

    That's a valid point that I honestly forgot to consider. People on the same connection may or may not appear to be one person voting multiple times. I will make sure to be very careful in the future to ensure no one gets punished for legitimate activity. I'm also hoping this just won't be an issue again, now that everyone knows we can see when this happens. Also, I should note that the multi-votes I deleted earlier were without doubt intentional, as two of the offenders used the same name essentially (e.g. CDel and CDel2) and the other person voted four times from the same IP in the course of several minutes, which is a red flag for something fishy going on.

    [color="#FF0000"][size="5"]ANOTHER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT[/size][/color]

    Ok, so... Do NOT try to double vote. From here on out, those who vote more than once will not only be giving up their right to vote, but also possibly jeopardizing the candidacy of whomever they vote for. While checking the database, I found that two people had double-voted, and one had quadruple-voted. This time, I removed only the redundant votes - next time, warnings and probations are getting doled out and anyone who multi-votes is getting their voting privileges suspended.

    Due to the multi-voting and because of the vote caching system, the current numbers are not correct. The vote totals are as follows:

    scrap/Traint 20
    iamme 2
    Hatu 13
    Wolffishfang 4

    In summation: I am [i]so[/i] seriously you guys: don't try to game the system!

    how about something like this:

    http://www.indiegogo.com/

    lots of people do this to fund there projects, all based on non profit.
    ie making a movie for fans/indie games (free) etc etc

    I do really like the look of that. It's iffy whether we can offer in-game perks or not though, as it may open us up to IP lawsuits from EA.

    And ... a special spanking emote for use on stations on NPC's who've been naughty too ... I think dewinter deserves that as she's been a very bad girl and must be punished.

    Oh, if only that could be done in the ini's. Of course, all it would really take would be reverse-engineering the W3D format, creating a new animation, then modifying the client in disassembly to add the new option - if I start now and drop out of school I bet I could have it done by April. :P It would be pretty awesome though... *ponders dropping out*

    no shooting old nick this year to see what he drops eh? I think last year he lasted about 10 minutes before he was taken out and we had to supersize his shields and snowball launcher.

    I think he should just drop a lump of coal anyway!
    [/quote]
    We could do a coal launcher. :P I had fun doing the snowball launcher effects last year, I wouldn't mind rigging up some kind of black rock-like projectile; I'm sure there's something in the client that could be used. Also, it would have to hit the ship with the satisfying clunk of rock hitting metal. That would teach people to messeth not with Santa Claus.
