Get ready to start having some gold on you: Pirate Boost if you have 777 or more Gold Ingots in your inventory get 5 RP per day if you have nothing in PvE get additionally 7 RP per day Thoughts about this change: Pirates were a bit below the other factions in terms of RP and overall living conditions. It is their nature to always live in risk but right now the effort was a bit too high so we found a way to encourage still the style of them with a reward in exchange. 777 Gold ingots is just the kick every pirate needs. Sitting on a treasure lot of gold. If you want to keep it - fight for it or hide it somewhere.. your reward are 5 RP which stacks with the 7 RP if you take the risk in PvP. So in total 12 RP if you live the dream of Captain Jack Sparrow, I mean Gold Roger, I mean... what ever  So soon you have enough RP together to live the rest of your day in PvE sunset..

I can see how the change would make setting up a fortified interior a pain, though my philosophy is usually 'if you can get in, congrats!' I have since modified this philosophy a little by sticking my core in between constructors and some storage

Ambaire posted:How quickly can you deconstruct hardened cv steel now? Because 10 hits was a bit much... Downloaded the experimental to try it out in a single player game. In 4.1, the T2 multi tool now destroys regular L blocks in 1 hit, and hardened and combat steel blocks in 2 hits. This will be so much nicer... Also, SV guns seem to be infinitely accurate wherever you're aiming. I made my normal 4 gatling SV and they were all impacting the same point no matter whether I was aiming 5m in front of me or 50.

It was pretty funny - I'm sure TheRaven had a good laugh about shooting bunch of goons hiding in a hole. Well done to those who were clever and quick enough to either OCD their junk or log out to keep their gold. I really want to go mining there again - but this time I want to plop down a cheap 4 missile 4 flack turret. It should be enough to either outright kill the attacker or at the very least give us time to get into our ships. By the time I managed to get to my ship I realized that most of it was actually a giant hole. Also - do we want to schedule a time to try to attack some bases on gold? We're absolutely wrecking everything we have ever encountered in space but we have not been able to control the surface - and after all that's where the resources are.

Battle between crocktopus and sathium asteroid was fun to watch. Asteroid looks enough like a real asteroid that if you're not looking for it you're likely not going to notice that it's just slightly off. Park it between planet and moon and lololooolloololol

Probably could "just" make a turret HV that can attach to the average SV and take it down with us and park it up top. That said, I think operation RAT Chase is a sign that we need to pay attention, too, given the guy showed up, wrecked all the SVs and it was only the dumb newbie (hello) that managed to get in a space plane to tussle with him.

Gamerofthegame posted:Probably could "just" make a turret HV that can attach to the average SV and take it down with us and park it up top. The reason I want a base rather than HV is the missile turrets on a base are homing. It's feasible to evade them in space where you can do 110ms - but on Gold planet where you are in 1.6G with a speed cap of 40m/s - you are getting hit. The cost isn't really a factor as once we are done mining we can just dissemble the whole thing.

For A, the answer is to build it before you go there and just spawn it because you can have completed blueprints ready to spawn. For B, there are so many bases on that planet that another one might not raise a ton of eyebrows in the 10 seconds or so it takes to set faction.

Gamerofthegame posted:My limited understanding was that building something would A.) Take time and B.) Flash everyone until you turn it to private or whatever, though. Not quite - you can build it now, and once it's ready it's just a matter of plopping it down out of your factory and immediately setting it faction. Yes it would show up on the map but between all the NPC POIs and so on I don't think it'd catch their attention right away. Even if it did - so be it, a solo SV won't be able to take it - and even if they come, hearing the turret fire up would give us time to scramble to our SVs. The big issue last night wasn't that we got found. We had the strength to take a lone SV. The issue is that we got caught with our pants down and could not get to our ships at all.

Oh ffs. You can have one autominer down PER PERSON. That's why I was having trouble placing more than one on a deposit. I feel really dumb now. There is a thread on the empyrion forums talking about hunters having 8 different autominers on the same deposit because it's all different people doing it.

Been going through my old designs and updating them for new things. What's the new meta on SV guns? Is it still Rail+Plasma? Looking at HP versus damage it's looking like Rail's are still great, with the main thing being rockets vs. plasma now. Higher alpha with rockets, faster shots with plasma (and more ammo per slot.)

A irl buddy and I have been playing on HWS, and we're getting ready to leave Earth and join a faction tonight. I'm a little fuzzy on something though, if we join the pirates like we're planning and our turrets are set to only target factions will they still light up other pirates aren't in our group or will the only target Alliance and Traders and the like?

Guess we'll just go with our plan of being pirate and gently caress off to some other system to build in. Might post our group info in here once it's set if you guys ever want us to fling our wreckage at something, if that's cool. I know goon groups tend to be pretty insular so we'll try and stay the hell out your path, either way. My friend isn't a goon so we can't apply to join you guys.

I am a stupid person and I bought Detroit. Also 4.1 is live. http://empyriononline.com/threads/alpha-4-1-0-bug-fixes-and-improvements.7903/ The deposits got refreshed.

I'm willing to put in up to half of the cost of the planet. Let's see how many other people chip in and we can spread the cost over a wider number of people. But, assuming 100% quality which is a tad optimistic but not unreasonable, with 10 people that's 4k iron ore per hour per deposit. So...

Something upstream broke; if you get error code 102 trying to start the game you're one of a small horde of people! Potentially everyone, dunno about that. Nothing to do but wait until it's fixed.
