I know of a few madmen like you. You should just make a clone fee- that you have to pay upon death. One billion to the first new player you come across.


How would that even work? Last I checked there wasn't a way to shift credits from one account to another.

It can be done using a fleet carrier's commodity market.

It was possible even pre-FC buy abandoning cargo to someone to collect. FCs made the process far easier. Not if credits matter much in this game.

Been away for a while, back now and bought my Mamba, (thinking of calling it 'wet dreams' would that be allowed. ) Why didn't anyone tell me about using one as a fighter? Wow, used to hopeless at combat, now - loving it.

I haven't done a Mamba yet. 'Was told it's great for speed, but lacks a little in agility. Do you find that true?

Ohhh just got back to the game after a few long weeks of work.

So this ganking part. Normally I play the bounty hunter as it's fun in open taking on the wanted's and we all know you dumb folks in shiedless T9's flying cargo need it.... Seriously you are painting the biggest target on your head with no blue circle around you for them extra 32 slots of goods, but whatever sinks your boat.

However this CG I am opening fire on any suspected trade ship or trade ship protector. I watched too many of my comrades die in the AX wars last weeks, and many rescue operations fail when station debris took out the hull of the ships ferrying passengers from the burning station, for some inconsiderate trillionaire throwing a campaign party to further corrupt their way into government.

Am I a ganker? Or do you just have no morals and only care about the credits delivering cargo for anybody any cause any time not wanting to accept the danger of the mission you accepted and who might be against it?

Now I did meet one cargo runner that threw a wrench in my plans of blowing them up, told me they spiked the beer with poison.... So I had to let them deliver as they were for my cause.

jep speed is great.. agility is ok with the right engine. used it a few month ago for ax combat, not the scouts, the interceptors i was chasing. cyclops is easy.. you are faster than it. basilisk is more tricky and medusa i gave up with mamba

Cyclopes are always easy. FDL + drag drives/dirty is faster than Basilisk (552 > 530). Medusas are punchbags.

If I'm remembering correctly, they also mentioned someone has already been to it according to their systems history. The player probably never even noticed it though. What I'd think would be funny is if they put it in one of the starter systems that becomes locked after you leave and make progress.



What? Are you sure?



I would speculate it is living thing, and you need a cold ship to approach to it.

I am pretty sure I remember hearing that speculation already several years ago - that pre-dated the Starter Systems / N00bula....In any event - that would be rather pointless to firewall some (theoretically) major part of the game into systems that cannot be reached by any Cmdrs that have advanced in the slightest...

Odd. Was able to sign up but was a few days ago...pretty sketchy play on my part though. Did enjoy the Corvette interdiction last time. Fly safe as they say!

I changed my mind, it is not a living thing but some place(s) in the universe which could be reached via some portals or stargates which are locked in permit systems most likely they are in HE(Herbig AE/BE)stars because they are very heavy objects.
