    Good luck and lets hope (cross fingers) this edition actually works well. I would prefer they fix whats broken and re-release it such as ASN, Base Raids, IoP's, and add more stuff to AE, but i wouldnt count on it.

AE is nothing like what Devs write, what we always ask for 'new content.' If you're not interested in it, I'll expect to never see you in Nova Praetoria.

    There will always be things that don't work. That's what you get with an evolving product. Base raids you're not gonna get till after Going Rogue. That's what they are focused on, so you may as well get over it.

    You know what? I figured it out. You post just to oppose everyone else.

    Congratz, you have the Drama-Queen Title. Enjoy.

    Hahah, funny stuff Friar, made my day.


    And to Felecia...please direct your attension to this thread...

    I hear ya on that one mate, theres being overly Politically correct and then theres just plan stupidity. Any name like that could have the potential for great harm.

    Heh, i dont know what i was thinking but i made a thread last night with the simple title of "Mongoloid Porn Inferno."
    It was a drunk-bored experiment to see how long it would take for it to get deleted (around 6-ish hours) because ive seen blatant misconduct go on in some of our threads with no consequences.
    Was also an attempt to see what those consequences would be.

    And it got me thinkin about other things that are policed, like in-game names for example. It got me curious as to how many people have had a toon Gen'd.
    I, for 1 have and i know only of 1 other who has as well, hers was a reference to a movie title i think and mine was in reference to an illicit substance but there must be more peoples out there.

    So, what was the toons name?
    What did you change it to?
    Do you think it was a result of being reported?



    Mine was Burnin' Bud and it was changed to iBud, my global handle.

    Secondly, while I'd be happy to have a variety of paper/scanner mission TYPES, I'd really like to have the ability to target a specific faction. It really helps with hunts, and sometimes I just feel like taking on someone in specific.

    Here's what I have in mind. We want something that's proactive, right? So instead of waiting for the paper to print something for us to react to, why not have a source of information on the enemy groups where we can go to check? It'd go something like this:

    This is the PPD criminal database. Who would you like to investigate?
    1. Freakshow
    2. Council
    3. Warriors
    4. Tsoo
    5. Family
    6. Sky Raiders
    Prompt: 3

    Listing recent Warriors activity. Which would you like to investigate?
    1. Robbery of a local pawn shop
    2. Kidnapping of Dr. Winslow from the local hospital
    3. Theft of Isis' Divining Rod
    4. Suspected possession of illegal artefacts
    5. Arrest warrant for Yanis "The Strong" Sertakis.
    6. Suspected gang activity in the abandoned Peterson office complex.
    Prompt: 5

    Yanis Sertakis, the leader of a violent Warriors faction suspected of multiple thefts, assaults and a murder, is believed to be hiding out in a cave complex underneath Talos Island. Sertakis is considered armed and extremely dangerous, and no PPD forces of sufficient strength are currently available to enact his arrest. This is an official request for any licensed heroes to arrest Yanis Sertakis and bring him in for questioning.

    ---

    Of course, that sort of thing is a lot of work to pull together and a lot of work writing missions. However, these missions might end up being slightly less random (and random isn't exactly good, judging from experience), make more sense AND give us better opportunities to actually do something truly proactive. And I mean proactive in terms of narrative, not just proactive in that "I clicked a button, it wasn't automatic."

    /signed

    I like this idea...a lot.
    Reminds me of the old Matrix game.

    Im in the same boat here, my computer isnt bad but it isnt a NASA comp either. I have over 3 gigs also and yet, sometimes i have time to bio while waiting for the Market to open, particularly on DXP weekends.

    I also get the "greyed out" bug(?) with some items, where you have to click the item and then it finally shows.
  12. Jeez, this is an old thread, but i might as well keep it going.

    My names Darren but thats names about as cool as Hitler's. Im 22 and i live in Rockingham, a coastal town with 5 or 6 beaches thats about an hours drive from the capital city of Western Australia. Im currently between jobs and im too lazy to go find one...plus CoX takes up too much of my time.
    I would call myself a Tradesman because thats all i have ever done, i'd love to get into Astronomy but iz be too unedumacated for that.
    I like long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners, the sounds of birds in the morning blah, blah.

    But seriously, without going into my lifes story, ima big SNAG at heart that dosnt like to wear the pants. Hellllooo, lay-dees! (hah! sounds like one of those internet dating sites)


    Ive been told the only decent pic i have is this one...not very photogenic.

    I'd have to agree with Phire, it looks fairly good, from what ive seen of the previews that is.

    The question is, will it rival Transformers 2 for the shiney eye candy though? 'Cos you have to admit, that movie looked pretty sweet.

    Another Aussie?! Glad to have you on board, we are few and far between on Champ.

    Havin seen what cold domination can do to romans ive always wanted to make one but ive never gotten around to it, thx for the push. He will be shown much love and purples. (is also a +rech junkie )


    Also, how much ranged defense do you think would suffice?
    I kno soft capping would be stupid so im inclined to think 25% will do.

    Separate styles of things that are mildly derivative but not nearly the same? Go ahead. The vet reward pieces need to remain vet rewards, though, because that's the incentive to stay instead of just doing the drop back in for a month when issues drop kind of thing.

    I highly doubt you would cancel your sub because they made costumes available to all...It might be the last straw on an already crumbling house (your perspective) but i doubt it would be a big enough reason, on its own, to quit.

    I couldnt agree with you more but you arent goin to lose anything if they make the costumes available to all, so why would you quit?

    Or is it "Hey! I had to walk through glass, fire and bees to get muh stoof! So everyone else should have to struggle as well!" ?

    To the OP, if you want to be able to have shorts, I would petition for the devs to introduce some more costume pieces, not overhauling/changing the veteran's reward system. I think it's much more likely they add some more shorts than changing the rewards system. Changing the vet system would probably upset some people, whereas adding more costume options would not.
    As always Dave, you have missed the point of the thread...I suggest you read every post...and slowly, so that it sinks in...

    You're in the same boat as Dave...Why the ragequit? If Vet costumes were made available to all then you wouldnt be losing a thing, infact, you'd be gaining something because they would have to replace the costumes.
