Nice assult cruiser, sure, only why no docking bay?

Or is the bay only open to Serco nationals, being I am UIT

As far as I know they haven't implemented a docking port yet.

There is a docking bay in the CapShip, but it hasn't been activated yet. They're working on modifying the Station interface screen to be appropriate for the CapShip. Somebody recently posted a really nice screenie of the docking bay, I'll see if I can find it again...

Here we are, numbers 26, 27, 28, and 30 show the docking bay:

Okay. I've done some reconnaissance and interrogations and my source says that the Sercos are able to replace the frigate approximately 6 hours after it is destroyed. I hope that helps you calculate when the next frigate will appear in Serco territory.

Great job, sarahanne!!

Now, untie Ray and put the kitchen appliances and tools back.

(It was the whisk that did the trick, correct?)

More like. He's asleep so you just go in there and whisper in his ear "Ray? How long does it take the Frigate to respawn?" and he mumbles something back.

Talks in his sleep.....SECURITY RISK!!

no he tells me the answer so he can get back to sleep! Sometimes there are somethings about the game he won't tell me :(

"Sercos are able to replace the frigate approximately 6 hours after it is destroyed. I hope that helps you calculate when the next frigate will appear in Serco territory."

not really, since nobody knows the last time it was destroyed.
especially since the ppl who destroy it are usually not online
when people wanting to know where it is are logging on. and
its not written down anywhere where anyone can look it up.

and i am guessing it only takes a half hour or so to destroy
as well. so chances are pretty good that most of us will
never be able to see it.

Well ananzi, right now the frig is nothing more than eye candy (it doesnt even have all the precious metals no more =/) and when the cap ship mission(s) become available, no doubt there will be some way of finding out where it is...

i love eye candy.
whats wrong with eye candy?

do you skip the museum of art because its 'just eye candy'?
what is mozart and beethoven, 'ear cany'?
how about degas, rembrandt? 'eye candy'?
what about the great chef of the world, is that 'mouth candy'?

is all you people care about blowing shit up?

Well, you know what that is? SOUL CANDY.

1: Yes, i skip the museum of art because it is just eye candy.
2: Mozart and Beethoven are Classic Ear Candy. I also will skip here.
3: See 1.
4: Yummy, mouth Candy...
5: Yes

I know you want to see it, and you will.

I'll have to partially agree with ananzi on this one. It's extremly annoying. I haven't gotten to see it yet because of either not knowing when it was, or it spawning at some time like 3am for me(EST). So depending on who killed it,some may NEVER see it. One way to fix this would be to put some kind of thing that tells you when the next cap ship is. Like /msg irc frigtime and it will respond with the amount of time till the respawn. Or maybe make it spawn more often, like 4 times.

Personally, I don't think the Frigate should be able to be destroyed in 6 hours... or even 24... We're talking no more than 20 attackers, but it's going down so quickly... That just doesn't seem right!
Mar 16, 2005 yodaofborg link
When I saw it killed i didnt even try to deter the attacker.

I wanted to see it die, and i wanted to know what the gains were.

My point about it being eye candy atm is sure its sweet, but it rotts your teeth (you get bored) and everyone will, and can get to see it...

6 hours isnt _that_ long.

Cap ship is currently in Sol II sector H-13. Go Go Go!
Mar 16, 2005 Renegade ++RIP++ link
it poofed while warping from an ion storm...

it also once tumbled into one of the stations... took a lot of repairguns to get it back alive :(

It was however putting up a hell of a fight agaisnt the bots that it encountered during an ion storm :D
Mar 16, 2005 epadafunk link
i saw it with mine own eyes!

now THAT was cool!

hehe YARR ATTACK!!!
Mar 16, 2005 genka link
Last time it blew up right after entering a sector, I was inside the docking bay when it jumped...
Hmmm...
Mar 16, 2005 Beolach link
Bad genka! It's all your fault!
