Probably since the first week of december was the last time i really, played... so im just wondering whats new, who some of the new players are, and all that kind of stuff. and publisher.... go guild. i cant wait for you guys to put this game out. Ill buy it as soon as i have money and/or credit card and the means escape the credit card companies through faking my death.... i mean....

So if people wouldnt mind filling me in on whats new, and all that 'jazz' it would be schweet.

New players..... hmm

Pirogoeth and Defy are two new blue players that deserve some sort of recognition, I think. They've both picked up the game really quickly and are both crack shots at rails (I've lost to Pirogoeth several times). Cool guys.

Serco has seen Phoenix and AgY switch allegiances. The Serco list of veterans is quite long now. Most of the time, they are dominant. I (Serco Fighter 1) have left Serco and gone back to Itani (SirCamps). * has come back, and he's getting back into the game.

NT is dead as usual, but alienb and Lin are seen on it more. A vet has registered the name "Thargoid" and has the philosophy "If it moves, I kill it." As seen in the RP forum, he doesn't even respect duels. Kate Blade and Warrior of the Sun are two other gold players that are probably vets under a different name. WotS likes to coop with the two blue players I mentioned before, and he uses rails as well.

Other than players, the Frigate is back in 16, but the cannons have been changed, and it has no furie protection. It is very easy to kill if you have some patience and people solo-kill it all the time.

Shockwaves and force have been added to the game. A sunflare/prox mine/homing missile no longer just does damage but pushes you back. triflare is deadly because of the massive amount of force exerted on your craft. Reports are that the Centurion is immune to certain types of force (ask Roguelazer about that).

That's all I can think of..... :\

Lin is serco now.

The Centurion never moves, just takes extra damage from force explosions. Don't ask me why.

I went on a botkilling spree with rails and added 20k to my score.

Cheese.

Lin has returned to Gold, "She" *was* Serco.

/me pops in and out. Freyr patrols the tradeways saometimes.. I have seen 7th Blade on at times. Alienb has been on gold. Sage wanders around, Asp pops in and out as does Arolte.
Gold's vets are still there, just not very often.

So... if Lin is gold, does that mean Phoenix is gold? I mean, we all know why he chose Serco...

"Ill buy it as soon as i have money and/or credit card and the means escape the credit card companies through faking my death.... i mean...."

Just write a will saying you have left your Valk, bus, and large load of Rare Minerals from the frigate to invisiblish one, then the credit card companies will leave you alone, and i will have the Rare Minerals... hehehe

The community is pretty much the same. It sucks. The frigate is back, some slight changes to defbots and ai code. And various little things.

actually the community is tons better then it was. There are many pirates around but at least the general chat is much cleaner for much more of the time.

I agree, things have been a little calmer. I don't think telling new and returning players that "the community sucks" does much to correct the problem.
