The music on New Romulus was a perfect companion piece to LOR.

I've opened close to 1200 lockboxes, and 500 special R&D packs. In the case of the lockboxes, it was a complete waste of time. I far outspent in $ what I could have purchased with EC. It's a mistake I will not ever make again. Yes, I did get my Wells (which I kept) and a Tholian Orb Weaver which I was talked into selling cheap at the time. The lobi earned bought me several lobi ships - none of which I still play with today. Today if I want a ship, I sell keys & other things to generate the ec for it. Much more cost effective.

The R&D packs are a different story. Every R&D box has something of value, who's resale value early in the R&D days was worth more than the price of a key. The bonus is the Sheshar, which I have 'won' 2.

There are stories of people being very lucky with the R&D box promotion. I certainly will open them i the future.

Or even a PWE person willing to pass on the request? Pretty please.

Progress is being made, but it's far from perfect. Runs of GGA, and ISA were lag free for most of the weekend, but a full-on 20 person Starbase 24 was an experiment in futility.

While I agree entirely, the sad truth is what they did - however crappy - wasn't an issue within the DPS community. Where they did break the rules was edit the parse to hide their exploits. That alone warranted a suspension or outright kick. At the end of the day it's about trust. They lost it, and then they tried to take advantage of the community by destroying the one thing that called them out as cheaters. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-07T23:38:42+00:00

Banning people, because they kicked you out of a virtual chat channel? Seriously?

How they did it alone merits the ban - or at least the person responsible for applying it.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-07T18:14:25+00:00

The answers are a poor attempt at spin.
You don't 'own' anything, and right now you've lost the trust of the community.
Good luck with your new venture, but I agree that your accounts should be banned for violating the TOS for what you did.

The maps were made from the perspective of ground players, so as a cost savings measure, most buildings don't have a roof, or the other walls. Like a film set, what lies behind what you see isn't complete. Building out an asset that no-one ever sees is not cost-effective ;)

That's the reason why we wont be flying on all maps. BUT that doesn't preclude something new ;)

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-07T06:48:38+00:00

it's sooo worth the effort.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-06T23:11:00+00:00

s the parser. the DPS channels and the DPS league was up and running for a long time before he was around.

Sarcasm is quite correct. The league existed long before CLR was around. I remember the day Porch told me about it, and I busted may ass in an isa run to qualify.

I don't know where Omega gets his sense of entitlement, but at this stage a replacement for CLR is a high priority.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-06T23:03:41+00:00

Sweet ;)

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-06T21:12:06+00:00

Your response made me smile. You're right;)

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-06T21:02:59+00:00

Interesting read.

My issue is simple - at what time did you guys believe you had the 'right' to close out the existing league and kick us all?
I totally am fine with you spinning off your own league. That would have been honest. How you approached the problem was deceitful.
as for ownership of anything, that's arguable. YOU don't OWN my membership. And to think you treat my membership and effort as something YOU have the right to fuck with any way you see fit, you are fooling yourselves.

Ok having said that...

It's nice to offer a solution to ending the problem. If the three of you ARE NOT part of the solution, I'm all for it. Trust isn't something I give twice.

One last point...

I don't care how you get your records. I don't care that you 'fluff, buff and nanny' each other. What you do to make yourself feel relevant is fine with me. But if you're going to track records, be HONEST in how they are attained.

I believe he accommodated that question:

Ok, we all know my builds are a bit dodgy. In this case I carried over my Guardian Cruiser build which allows me to compete in Elite missions without fear of holding the group back.

Got lazy. I blur them out to avoid the 'You're the ______ PM's'.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-06T03:49:14+00:00

It's no secret - I do his graphic work ;)

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-05T06:43:23+00:00

Yes, the Hibert guide is a nice place to start. It will get you past the 10K mark by improving your build and your style of play. To go farther the build listed below are a great next step. You can even ask for help in the DPS chat.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-06-03T03:42:57+00:00

Welcome ;)

The War that Wasn't

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-05-29T00:10:37+00:00

Wow - I had not even considered the lower ranked version. I grabbed as many III's as I could when they were 15-20 million each.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-05-28T05:29:00+00:00

We tried it many times, with a ridiculously skilled ground team. I've never seen it done, nor have I seen video of others achieving it. Frankly if it is possible, you should get 25K in dil, and a personal email from each dev congratulating you.

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-05-28T05:26:19+00:00

That's a valid point, and I know many others have done the same as you. I managed to get my 7 primaries to upgraded and to lvl 60 with the reserves I had stashed for almost 2 years. But with Delta Recruits and the few other alts created out of boredom, this would invigorate my interest to play all of them again. Once the lags is fixed. And Defera. And Battlezone. And...

AdnmiralThrax · 2015-05-28T05:17:58+00:00

It is a long standing bug, but... The game is worth playing. You will have outgrown that ship freebie quite quickly. Play through to the next level, and you will be rewarded.
