About unidentified installed weapons-what about unidentified launchers? You can't fire them without ammo and I don't even know what ammo to look for! It's a lvl X launcher (or at least, it's lvl X and it uses the launcher icon-I suppose I have no way of being certain that it actually is a launcher)...

Eye, watt ewe say.

I found this earlier today and it has succeeded in distracting me from getting any work done.

It's like building finite state machines...

Ammo for versions before 1.04 was a real problem. In 1.04 George made it so that ammo regenerates at certain stations. But in earlier versions you basically have to use the fabricator to get more than what is available at spawn. I didn't think any of the Teraton's installed equipment. You may have t...

I assume that the forum software can detect when access if from the search engine spiders. I.e. search engines have farms of computers running programs that wonder over all web pages following links to build the database that you search in. That is what the gray users are.

I'm pretty sure the F2 screen was not implemented until after 1.01. So, there is no way besides going into debug mode and querying the game variables from the console to figure out what rank you are. I take out phobos with equipment like that. The trick is to not get hit. Line up shots from the howi...

Are there other storylines that people are interested in? Which of the above deserve more time? I want to make note that I haven't seen much development of the Black Market. About the only change I have noticed is the addition of the BM in the Arena storyline. Looking in the resources it feels inco...

Just talking about the ranks. I am able to get up to enforcer in the BM but after that they stop offering me missions. Do you know why that is? The Black Market (BM) has only one mission defined for the BM and it is only available at Smuggler level (level 2). I remember hearing somewhere that the B...

Which brings me to my next question, what exactly do the armor +xx% boni against the various damage types mean? I'm guessing +100% means the armor only takes half damage from that type? Good question, I have always just assumed that was the case and never verified it. Is there a way to find out whi...

Go to the profile of one of the admins. There will be a section titled 'Contact', under that section there should be a button labeled 'PM'. Clicking this button should let you send a PM to that admin. Or they may have it setup so you can send them email that way too.

Your welcome, and good luck. Though I should probably put a qualifier on my advice in that it probably favors my play style so choices I'd make may not be the best for you. But yea, the order I'd be looking for upgrades would be new shield, then maybe a third good weapon and a reactor if needed to p...

IMO, Carbide Carapace can be an OK armor up to around Eta Ceti if you have good shields but I'd be on the lookout for something better. You don't have very good shields. I'd classify Yoroi S100 as fairly weak for where you are, I would consider the S100 to not be worth much past St.K. Makeyev is an ...

Meanwhile, I've been avoiding the Ventari where I can, but even when fighting say the Rogue Fleet, my patch spiders get damaged, and it doesn't seem like anyone can repair them. Without the patch spiders, if my armor gets too damaged, it can't be repaired. Not good. So what exactly causes the equip...

Kill more sung.
