Jawohl Duffal...



Let me put it bluntly: All ships, in default configuration, are a F'n joke.
Lowest rated parts in every slot, if any. WTF is that all about?

Why even bother? Sell me a empty hull and I'll fill it with parts I see fit. Wasting my funny-money on crap I do not need is not "making it a game". It's a complete waste of my time.

They are literally selling a cargo ship/hauler that cant move cargo, a fighter that cant fight and aww... the explorer that cant jump.


Just one example: https://inara.cz/elite/ship/30/

Everything is E and lower than the slot rating.
4E's in 5. 3's in 4 etc. They even stuffed a 1E to 2 slot. OmG, thank you soo F'n much.
It's called a Transporter but they cant even fit one proper rack on the damn thing.

If those guys were selling houses, your 3 bedroom home would be a cardboard box, with painted on fake windows and no door (they run out of crayons to draw one).

Emily ValeforAh, I see that non positive talk is now rants, but dog whistles get to stay in. Odd choice.

Non-positive talk is accepted in other threads, but when it turns into a waterfall of rants - yeah, it belongs here then (unfortunately, for keeping the context, I sometimes need to move some other posts with it, too). That's why this thread was made, so other threads may be relatively free of it.

ThinderWe have a new ship coming our way, what do you think?



Still unclear, how is this new M size ship is any different from all the other medium ships for "colonizing the galaxy".

All new ships are ARX baits.

Your circus. If you could keep it consistent you won't hear a peep from me. It's when you find sexism, alt right dog whistles, and other troubling things fine to leave up but then hide a fair reply to a current situation happening relevant to the game I'll fairly raise an eyebrow to that.

As I said, I sometimes need to move other posts with it although they shouldn't be here otherwise, as such posts will lose context in the original place (or the posts moved lose the context). Which was also a case of your post (it lost the context in the previous thread).

If I keep such kind of discussions unchecked, people complain that it's messing the purpose of the respective thread and so on. If I will delete it, people will complain about it, too (unsurprisingly). So the only option left is to move it to a more suitable place.

Edit: And for the clarity - other problematic cases like insulting other people here are handled differently. To keep things simple, I am "awarding" such behavior two ways - with a permaban or with a warning via PM, depending on the severity. Obviously, such actions aren't publicly seen, but it's worth to be said that I rarely give more than two warnings.

Thank you for explaining. So basically we're just not seeing the admin replies to the toxic things, just the toxic posts kinda hanging out on the forum, while the admin stuff happens more behind the scenes.

Yep, many moderation actions simply aren't seen. Also posts may get removed when I feel it was "too far", but I do not want to be too heavy-handed, especially when it's a better punishment to keep documented how the posters made fools of themselves than to remove it and pretend it didn't happen.

Waht do you even mean by
  1. sexism
  2. alt right dog whistles
  3. and other troubling things.

Let me guess, everything you do not agree with because you are the self anointed thought police and know exactly what's OK and what is not.

As I recall, "sex is a social construct". This literally means, that sexism doesn't exist. 'Ism of X while there is no X? That's some serous mental gymnastics, lady.
And of course, the "alt right dog whistles". Can you explain that? An example would be nice.

And while we are at it, what do you even mean by political "right"? Everyone right of Mao? Stalin? Trotskiy? Genrikh Yagoda? Some other Marxist fanatic from later times?
Why are you not complaining about leftist dog whistle? Are you completely illiterate in history? Start with Bolsheviks, gulags, followed by almost a century of murders, destruction of economies (that means human lives), famine, genocide and so on. You have no idea, do you?

"other troubling things" let me guess, everything you cant label but do not agree with so it must be deleted. Very totalitarian of you.

Basement dwelling ED players who have not grown out of their teenage edgelord phase are a curse. Glad that I put this person on my ignore list and I would advise everyone to do that as well.

@Artie: is it possible to change the "ignore" filter so that replies to the ignored person also get filtered out? That would be super helpful in not seeing that type of sh***

I guess it's a different type. The dilemma here, at least for me, is that, according to the website rules, I can't trash-talk him so hard that his hairline would finally retreat and capitulate, and I don't feel like investing into intellectual battles with such individuals.

Back to normal rant. Dear frontier, stop nerfing the amount of rare commodities. I had good route from Phiagre to AZ Cancri filling up 216 rare cargo and back to my power territory. Now az cancri has only 36t.

Play your damn game for once and u'll see how frustating it is.
