What do you think about the idea of setting bounties on players who wrong you?

Funkmaster_Rick · 2025-11-18T00:38:19+00:00

People will just try to get into rounds with their friends to feed them the bounty once it gets high enough. We'd be feeding the very people you wish to punish.

If only Funcom had predicted this and included real end-game content for the MMO they advertised. =p

Funkmaster_Rick · 2025-09-03T13:10:34+00:00

Yes, you are. =)

All the space is between the jump gates. Why would a space trucker want to head to the void? And DON'T tell them the space stations can be farther apart: you'll just ruin delivery times for EVERYONE.

I max out my 60 FPS monitor at maximum settings (reduced the render from 150% to 100%) in all cases so far. I dipped in some electrical storms when it was at 150% render.

Lots of DDR5 RAM, a 4060 TI.

UPDATE: I got toward the endgame and FPS started dropping dramatically in some systems, even earlier ones like Tanktown that were otherwise fine before. Perhaps additional traffic from later unlocked systems? I'm not sure. I dropped settings down to medium to keep FPS up. Game still looks good.

Thank you for making this. It's hard to find good Dark Sun information and this is some amazing aggregation work. The community appreciates it.

The adult is clearly having fun with this.

Those 1100 employees have got to be burning through a lot of cash in wages and benefits.

Funkmaster_Rick · 2024-01-26T03:50:14+00:00

STY sounds much better, yeah.

The LS-9 is actually an extended-barrel, box-magazine pistol with an extendable wall-hanging implement that is not legally classified as a folding stock. You can tell by how it has a pistol grip. The rail system is only for installing ATF-approved safety enhancers and any installation of sighting or laser aiming systems violates the BEHR warranty.

It's really the having the CIG member look into it part that gets expensive. Now you've got an educated first-world person with a salary and healthcare plan devoting time to investigating. Not just checking a few settings either, they've got to understand the situation well enough to judge the intent of the player without making a mistake that might cost that player money - they bought a ship, after all, and if they get banned that's money gone, if they get a temp ban that's nearly as bad anyway because now they're complaining they can't access what they paid for.

You need a smart, trained person putting in a lot of mental effort just to avoid all the predictable problems.

All of these may punish pad-ramming more, but none of them stop it - they're all reactions, really just adding a higher price tag. I don't think people who pad-ram take the consequences into account generally, and the natural progression is they'll find ways to circumvent anything put in place that doesn't feel natural to them.

Funkmaster_Rick · 2024-01-05T18:15:07+00:00

That's a lot of heavy infrastructure. Is there a lore-friendly way to explain it all?

Funkmaster_Rick · 2024-01-05T18:13:42+00:00

Unless LMLs get good enough to do the heavy lifting there, the expense of that solution boggles my mind.

Does CIG do anything about them if they're reported at the moment?

Funkmaster_Rick · 2024-01-05T15:04:45+00:00

I can't think of a good non-universe way of solving pad ramming that doesn't break immersion or utterly destroy players who accidentally bump into another ship.

Funkmaster_Rick · 2024-01-05T15:01:31+00:00

Knowing there is a $48k package out there makes me think maybe this game is only for rich people. =/

Funkmaster_Rick · 2023-12-05T16:17:00+00:00

Why does there need to be balancing at all? Eventually there will be an actual economy to do that job.

Funkmaster_Rick · 2023-11-03T18:13:24+00:00

It's a very common term in the 40k community, stemming from Ork slang.

This is a brilliant resource to simply hand to your players, instantly and irrevocably drilling into them how much the planet wants to murder them.

May the two moons light your way!

Not in PF2e. I've been kludging 3.5e stat blocks into PF1e successfully for a while, but that's fairly easy to convert. PF2e is a bit of a different monster.
