Filthy gold digging females tricking honest hard working citizens into mating with them for their papers.

Stupid girls are dumb and wreck the cool games all the time. If we want to keep the game awesome the only females in the game need to be battered and helpless and when the awesome and strong male specimens save them they open their legs like blooming flowers to get plowed hard. 30 seconds later the bitches cry “thank you for impregnating me master!”

This is how it goes, and loving Full Burn is being rage played by Slice The Cake behind the superior male while dicks shoot out of guns and chain saws cut down flowers and pretty girl poo poo stupid girls like. :kingsley:

Its not that its supposed to be 6 months out, its that they think they can prototype, test, fix, reiterate something that has 17 entries in gameplay section in the three months from april to june. Something as massive as mining as they were originally talking about.

Haha the more I read the dumber it gets. "Pay someone to fix your ship" on the 3.2 patch, the actual gameplay for fixing someones ship wont be implemented till 3.3. Art imitates life

I've seen the "Legatus Navium" title on the Arena Commander leaderboards, so I'm not sure it's tied to a pledge rank (at least it wasn't at that time).
