The hazRES session was fun. I regret not recording it. Epi ran out of ammo twice.



Twice?!?
Ignorance is a bliss. You know about two occasions as it was during fight and needed to leave you for few seconds to avoid interruption during synthesis. In reality, I ran out of amo 10-15 times. This is why I finished some of the targets by ram.

I never tried to hide it - the Vulture is a beast that requires to be constantly fed with synthesis.

** CALL TO ACTION **

BRIEFING

                Good evening  cmdrs



It has been brought ti my attention that there are rogue cmdr out in the black recruiting new cmdr instructing them to build mining ships with a minimal jump range placing them upon fleet carriers and taking them 800ly from the player bubble and forcing them to mine void opal and sell them for 1/6 th of the market price. These new cmdr are being instructed to build mining ships with a jump range of 2ly before being placed on this factions fleet carrier and transported 800ly to a mining ring and with a jump range of only 2ly its impossable for these cmdr to escape the forced labour leaving them no option but to either work for this faction or self destruct. Although its not against the frontier guidelines its highly frowned upon and i for one will not tolerate the exploitation of new cmdr for the gain of a single faction via slavery. The squadron responsable were confronted by a cmdr and questions were asked regarding the legitimacy of the claims made against them only to have it confirmed and quoted " we will push harder than ever to recruit new cmdr now that this has been made public ". We as a comminity need to band together to prevent this from happening

I am calling for combat hardened cmdr to join up with me to create a new action based squadron to help these new cmdr being exploited and to put an end to this new threat quickly  those who wish to join contact me directly for further instruction

O7 cmdr. Fly safe

This is gonna be fun, what's the location of this illegal slavery?

Here Kiddy Kiddy have some sweets...

I think it is hilarious that this has happened. Player interaction. Do we know the faction that are enslaving the Kiddies?

More like they enslaved actual kids. I read the news article on it, it's kinda messed up.

Hasn't that happened in that other game once before (EvE Online)? If I recall it correctly the response to it was that almost all of the Nullsec powers allied themselves (Even bitter RP rivals who usually represented the Amarr and the Minmatar who are normally in a constant state of war) to annihilate those guys and free the enslaved players. It was a massacre...

I really do not know how someone can fall for this bait.

And surely if you fail for this a simple ship destruction or clear save is the right way to break the slavery chain.

Personally, I do not believe this actually happens.

new players, kids who got it free on the epic store

when new to this game, like i was a few months ago, I found it very confusing and slightly overwhelming. I did not know about self destruct hack, until at least a month into playing the game.  SO I can see it happening very easily.

I think it is very funny, but have no sympathy for the protagonists....

So I bought the Type 9. Any strange/stupid build ideas for it? I'm currently collecting engineering materials to make the ship actually manageable in-flight.

The most stupid build I can propose is shieldless AX combat ship for fighting interceptors.

The 2nd one is building it for PvP combat and call it Gankers' bane.

I have a question I've been dying to ask, because I know someone knows the answer. What caliber is the 4A Huge auto-cannon? I know it's not 16 inches like I've been told previously. I mean it still has a shell casing and everything. I know it's probably bigger than a 105 mm shell.
