Soooo do we want to actually try building a land base on gold planet? Seems that they're not as easy to blow up as they used to be right Xanif?

All my whining finally got me somewhere: "Anyways I also don't want to spoiler too much but Jascha preparing a patch which nerfs Trader and boost Pirates. This meta is clearly seen by us and addressed. It should make Traders real traders and Pirates, real pirates. Stay tuned." https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/current-state-of-hws-whats-coming-next/1530

Are you saying that on our server, being a pirate means you actually get a chance to raid a trader planet? Because we should be able to? I kind of doubt it but that would be the dream, yes?

But I do want to camp trader space. I am not sure what they are planning to do. I'd like them to give pirates a way to earn RP while having stuff on PvE. That's my main beef with pirates - and i hope they add a cool down to trader OCD.

The whole draw of this game vs other spaceidiot games is PvP yet it's extremely hard to find it anywhere It's more PvOffline turret you run into after 5 hours of searching

Traders like to park their vessels set to private 8km from the planet with no ammo in them. I'm liking trader world. (I second goonropa 2 the goonining)

So, as alluded to earlier, tonight we completely pwned a dude. He had a public CV he spawned off trader world, 8k from planet. We had 3 cvs in system, slowly boated towards him together, and then just wrecked him so quick. He was in the process of transferring stuff, we think. He had two cvs, two svs, and we completely wrecked him. And then he basically was spawning repeatedly, but since he starts without gear, his only chance was to pull something out of his OCD, which he didn't. We got something like 300 blue crystals, 8k sathium ore, 6k sathium ingots, 1k of everything else, 4k prom, and a bunch of random stuff. Overall, a good night. Was hard to get the guns to stop shooting but was fun. On the way home, I ran into an SV, still had guns off from earlier, but one of our dudes came to the rescue and killed him, but couldn't find his backpack, so no real loot. Local chat of traders is pretty mad at us. :v I can't wait for this happening again.

Another trader surprised to be ganked outside their homeworld... Sadly he didn't rage at all - no loot in his CV (it had too many holes) but some junk in his backpack so that's something.

A carebear got stranded on m32. He spent an hour asking for a ride. Another faction agreed and they started conversing in global about where they were and where they were going. Despite protest from the community pointing out that they were going to be walking into a trap they decided to press their luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OVIGWHfJeQ (Rap music playing so probably NSFW audio)

I was the guy making goofy comments throughout that video. That was fun as poo poo though, we absolutely pasted those guys. It's great because at some point the carebears are going to try paying someone to go after us, or even better forming their own mob. Fun times ahead. E: poo poo, the sound got cut out by YouTube.

Might need to do a cb:start after as chatbot has been flakey - it'll kick you out of the game and run the script to give you your weekly pirate package - it's mostly factory scraps except for the elite plasma cannon which is neat.

I'm am wondering if I should post a thread on the official forums asking them to clarify what constitutes camping the warp point. We were sitting 3.4km away for that kill. Assuming an even remotely competently designed ship that's enough time to stop, refuel, and lock an egress system before even appearing within render distance. Much less radar distance. But I think it's better to ask forgiveness rather than permission for this as long as we can prove that we weren't directly on top of the spawn in point which I can because I recorded it.

That's pretty much my take. We were not sitting on top of the warp in with them within range of 3 CVs. They had some time to get away - and if the first salvo didn't kill all 3 people inside right away they could have warped out....but yeah... It's good that we are recording as it's only a matter of time till some salty carebear runs to the admin complaining about the fact that we killed them. Frankly I'm shocked that there isn't already a post about us camping the trader planet.

I was in that system for 6 hours with a single break to go back and stock up on ammo. Nobody mobilized a defense. Not alliance, not traders, not bounty hunters. I mean, if they're not going to even attempt to defend their territory I think it would save time to have a CV based out of trader world. I keep running out of cargo box space on my CV from all the kills we get. But we need to replace space whale. Tonight I think. A second goonropa would probably be the way to go.

Protip for moving loot like the end of this vid: On you CV, auto-group all your poo poo and rename the cargo box group to "AAAA cargo" or something so its alphabetically first in the control panel. (naming your turret group "BAAA - turrets" is also a good Idea.) Now when moving stuff to your ship, you can stand anywhere on it, including the exterior and just hit P, access the cargo boxes from there and drop stuff without having to go through doors/elevators or whatever over and over.

I say we put the wooden pirate ship directly on top of the system warp in point. No guns on it, no anything except a wooden frame with a core and see how long it takes for the admins to tell us to stop trolling. My money is on 72 hrs or more before we get explicitly told to stop loving with people.

Just put your videos up with comms traffic, or use the approved music lists. Don't want to catch a copyright claim, you get three on youtube. Ps. consider some editing.

Yea, it's looking like they're a distinction between the warnings that I've been getting (which block viewing in some countries or remove audio entirely) of which I got 4 for that video last night and an actual copyright claim which is just stealing something and uploading it which appears to be what that 3 strike system is for. So it looks like I don't have any real strikes against me at this point even though it is bitching at me. I do need to get editing/set up audio so that only comms come on the video to make these more watchable but I suck at A/V stuff so we'll see what happens. This was very ad hoc because they basically said "Ok, we picked you up. We're leaving for alliance planet now" in global chat at which point I started recording.

Nerf to some of our clever designs coming up n 4.1. http://empyriononline.com/threads/alpha-experimental-4-1-0-build-673.7861/ Tweaked hitpoints on building blocks: half HP for thin compared to full blocks This will wreck the Frig design as it's 1-2 layers of thin blocks for the most part. At least redesigning it won't suck so much: - Tweaked multitool: It should now be much stronger (especially multitool T2) - handle with care when using it ;-) FileNotFound fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Oct 26, 2016 |
