    i dont understand why you would want to land on earth while this game is all about out-of-earth experience!! [/quote]

    In his defense, the name of the game is [b]Earth[/b] & Beyond.

    However as Kyp said the storyline talks about how Earth is not what it used to be. I would find it cool though if it could be a landable planet with a bunch of abandoned waypoints and broken buildings and such.
  2. 10. Google Charlie Sheen. Enough there to keep you busy for weeks.

    9. Put down the mouse, step away from the keyboard, turn towards the door. Step out. Don't worry about the large glowing yellow thing in the sky, it is not Amah trying to blast you to the far side of Ragnarok, it's called "the sun".

    8. Learn a foreign language. Judging by some of the chat logs, for a lot of you, this would be English.

    7. Reorganize the cupboards in your house, put all of the stuff you like where you can reach it easily and put everyone else's stuff on the very top shelf, or on the very bottom way in the back.

    6. Go to the hardware store and buy a few padlocks. Go to a large department store and padlock all the bathroom stall doors shut and then charge people a quarter to use them. If an employee comes in, tell them you were hired by corporate to increase revenue because this store is the lowest in the company.

    5. If you live in a town with a tall public building or a hotel with several floors, go ride in the elevator. Face the corner away from the elevator doors and whisper incoherently to yourself when people are on with you. If nobody is on, sing loudly off-key and then stop when the doors open.

    4. Grab some random person on the street and use them as a human shield. Keep repeating to yourself "They can't find me here."

    3. Go to the library and walk around saying "shh" to anybody or anything who makes any type of noise. Including the staff. This is especially fun if someone is using a copier or a printer.

    2. Go to a crowded bar and tell the bartender you want to buy everyone a round of empty glasses. Then ask for a receipt.

    1. Ride your bicycle to a drive thru restaurant window and ask if they do valet.
  3. Where I work, we have an internal web application that uses a similar type of aliased login (multiple alias can be used with a single login) and if someone deletes an alias we don't actually delete it from the database. We use a char(1) column titled active that has two values, either 1 for active or 0 for inactive. Then any queries we use to pull alias from that database just have to add a simple where clause (where active = '1'). And then we have a module created that if someone wants to reuse an old alias that was deleted, we pull all alias based on their login id and set active back to '1' on the one they want back.
  4. You have not written all of them down...

    You would think an advanced technological race like the Progens in the 26th century would have found a way to remove the need for pen and paper....

    And if you worry about leaving the information in your log as a security risk, who in Khan's name is doing software security for the Progen Republic? Microsoft?

  5. I didn't play very long in live, but there seemed to be so much more of a storyline attached to the game. I know storyline is something that is probably going to be added as we get further along, but I wouldn't want to see it be a requirement to level up. I like the ability to just grind it out and get to the same end point.

  6. Just in case people were wondering, I still couldn't decide who to root for prior to the game. When the Packers jumped out to the big early lead, I started rooting for the Steelers, just for the simple fact that I wanted a decent game to watch not a blowout. But, the commercials are always the best part. Little kid in the Darth Vader costume was funny, the amazing rack commercial with Faith Hill was good, the Snickers commercial with Roseanne was awesome.

    And Christina Aguilera messing up the national anthem was priceless.

  7. When it comes to the Proto items, if they turn out to not be very good with the new quality ranges, maybe they can be looked at later in the balancing phases of getting the game ready.

    /agreed

    And as CDel mentioned the looted non-manu items in live were already pretty powerful at 100%, but it seems some of the proto items here in the emu at 100% leave quite a bit to be desired. I would have no problem with a 125% cap if that means that non-manu item at 125% rivals a similar PM item at 200% and I don't think we have that here.

  8. Ok, here is my issue. I have watched every Super Bowl since 1980 and have found a reason to root for at least one of the teams competing. This year I am struggling to find a reason to root for either of them. Here is my background. I grew up with my older brother and father who were both Steelers fans, I didn't want to follow the group so I rooted for the Raiders and have been a fan for 30 years. Going all the way back to the early 70's and the Immaculate Reception (google it if you don't know what that is), I have found it hard to ever root for Pittsburgh. 95 I rooted for the Cowboys against them, 2005 I rooted for Seattle, 2008 I rooted for Arizona. Now on the other side, we have Green Bay. When they first went back to Super Bowl in 96 with Favre, I rooted for them and in 97 against Denver, well being a Raiders fan I automatically have to root against Denver. After that point, Packer fans started to get a little too full of themselves and made it difficult to want to root for them again. I was hoping for a Bears/Jets Super Bowl, but since they both lost, now I don't know what to do. Here's my pro's and con's:

    Green Bay pro - I am from the midwest

    Steelers pro - They are from the AFC same as my team

    Green Bay con - Aaron Rodgers little championship belt thing he does when he scores

    Pittsburgh con - Ben Roethlisberger is a tool

    Green Bay pro - Clay Matthews Jr. The hair, the attitude, great player, fun to watch

    Pittsburgh pro - Troy Polamalu. Ditto

    So I'm asking for a little help, please vote on who you think I should root for.

  9. We could always make it unreasonably complicated and model loot qualities as a normal distribution with a mean of 100% with a standard deviation of 10% or so. That way, 68.2% of loot would be 90-110%, etc. There would be a small chance of loot falling above 130% or below 70%, but of course there would also an extremely minuscule chance of loot popping out at 400% or 0%. Sounds fun to me. :P

    Hmm... where did my pocket protector go...

    A normal distribution showing standard deviations? I got a solid A in Fundamentals of Statistics in college. Standard deviation is about the only thing I remember. :(

  10. If you think of the basic idea of looting, you destroy a mob, you can search their corpse for any object that may have been using that you can take. By capping below the max quality is basically saying that the mobs would never use an item above a certain level which to me sounds wrong. I agree with more of a sliding scale, higher percentage equipment being more rare of a drop.

    Another thought, flip the idea around, if a mob kills a player and was able to loot their equipment, what are they going to find more commonly? 100% items? 120%? or 200%?

  11. I believe this saving issue has been going on for a while, I seem to remember something about those issues with the September or October patch. A few days ago, my PP was hunting Vindis Warriors in Niff, I had flown back to Arx Ymir because my BB ammo and my Archos ammo was empty and I was out of one of the comps to make more, so I put two of my Biles on and put my Archos and my BB in my vault. When I logged in yesterday, my Archos was still installed with no ammo, my BB was in my vault and one of my Biles was completely gone.

  12. The Achiever motto:

    "No goal unfinished!"

    Description:

    Best, first and most are the favorite adjectives of the Achiever. They love comparison not only against others, but also with themselves. They enjoy setting goals, surpassing previous performances and hitting new milestones. They tend to have lots of high scores, badges, trophies and other concrete evidence of their successful endeavors--and they love it if someone notices these. However many enjoy the quiet satisfaction of knowing they simply did better than most.

    Secondary influences

    Achiever Killers like to be the best-of-the-best at everything the game has to offer including PvP. They often mock Killer tactics such as surprise and stealth as "ganking" because they prefer a more controlled arena where fighting skills can be compared in a straight forward manner. Achievers often look to 1v1 duels for proof of their superior play and are frustrated by "rock paper scissor" game mechanics because of this. Their prowess in PVP is generally supported by a large degree of understanding and possession of the best equipment and skills.

    Achiever Explorers are interested in the PvE aspect of a game more than anything else. The AE thrives as a solo adventurer, counting coup with each new destination and discovery, poking into every corner of a map and toying with each nuance of a game mechanic. AEs prefer not to be hampered by a group and usually find PvP to be more an annoyance than a feature.

    Achiever Socializers appreciate groups, clans or guilds for than just pure social fun. An AS relishes the camaraderie of cooperation within a top flight team, savoring the renown gained from successfully pitting themselves against the grand-challenges of a virtual world and attaining goals that cannot be reached as an individual.

  13. If the game has been recently patched, no they won't be in game.

    Whoa, did anybody else notice this? Am I mistaken or is this a direct answer to a question? Somebody contact Var or Khan, I think the Jenquai or Terran scum have implanted some mind control device into Byakhee causing him to reveal secured data. The fate of the Progen race is at stake! Where is Dora? We must unite and destroy these inferior pests!

    For the Republic!!!!!

  14. So if they are still in game, is it bugged so I can't get it? Neither Var or Memnon will talk to me other then their generic chat tree.

    I had the same issue a while back, actually had to have a GM give me the mission, (then failed on 3 of the 4 prints :) ) so you may want to file a ticket.

  15. Ammo rarely fails to analyze (or should if memory serves)

    agree that it ammo should rarely fail to analyze, but that is not the case. When I did the BB Ammo mission a couple weeks ago, failed on two of the ammo prints and just yesterday tried to analyze some lvl 6 ML ammo that I got off some Terrans in Moto and failed on the first 2 attempts.
