if he does that I'll happily see it as a taunt against blue team and cheer for him / provide protection
Well, right now, I've actually seen most of the BMTs on Akua. Akua is supposedly under Red control, not that they've done much to take advantage of that, but I saw a bunch of BMT facilities in one of the oceans. Since Akua's PvP and BNS and BMT are different factions, they might be a bit tricky to find. Trading post right now in the RvB server is empty. But Grey Faction should be more sustainable after the new server comes up.
Sadly Cobalt Blue does not seem to be among the new Colors. Maybe I could compromise & run a mix of Light Blue & Dark Blue & if I run Blue Lights, maybe Blue Team could try not to get Temperamental about it? Oh, also, in regards to Red, i'm neutral to that color so I don't tend to bother with it, so ya are indeed right Slam ya need not worry there. (If we ever get a T2 Paint Gun or such with full RBG/HSV Powers, i'd love to someday be able to run Paint Jobs of Cobalt Blue, Electric Blue, & Sapphire Blue! Maybe with Pumpkin Orange Symbols too if I ever take a liking to any Symbols for free Decor. Blue Team could then go ahead & dibs on Normal Solid Blue.) Heheh somehow I don't think Taunting potential Customers would really be a good Business Practice for me. Also might get the BMT Faction Leader frowning on me too. XD Sweet! Wonder if Trading Post's lack of Sustainability & BMT light activity before might not have been a coincidence. Hopefully Post-Alpha we can be a much bigger & fun having presence.
Ok people, here is the new layout for our server's solar system! You may now bask in it's crappy-engineer-art splendor.
*Recalls ya sayin us GMTs will have our Home Base in the middle* I take it Danube Alpha &/or Beta will be our new Homes? (Psst, @Slam Jones, i'd be honored to get added to the GMTs List on the OP... or am I being rejected?) Also, will Danube Alpha & Beta have full Ore Resource availability for us GMTs to be able to self sufficiency on? I'll especially need this cause once i'm able to fully begin on the Server it'll take me some time to Establish myself, not only getting my stuff built for myself & getting Resources to self sufficient on, but also I still need to decide how i'm gonna build my new Merc Stuff with the sweet Post-Alpha new stuff. (Edit: Is it ok to use Creative Mode for this? I'm praying among the List of Bug Fixes coming in Alpha is a Bug Fix for the "Real Man Bug".) I'm especially still trying to plot & scheme my Merc SV. Fortunately even this stuff will be plenty busy work for me while my New Computer Build Parts are taking their sweet time arriving to me, plus i've gotten delayed further by my own Mom who actually got Paranoid about stuff she borrowed my External Hard Drive to put on there & now she's so paranoid over the stuff she put on it she claimed the Drive itself for her own & I have to wait for her to buy me a new one for my own use, which better be at least as good as the one she claimed from me. Sheesh, to think she has no faith in my ability to Copy/Paste stuff between Drives... not to mention if she got any Viruses in the damn thing which'll REALLY make me not want it back... She's awful Computer Illiterate... Now even after I get my New Computer built I still have to wait for my new External Hard Drive to use to transfer my stuff between Builds... >_<
Consider it done! Also, you're currently set to be leader of GMT as 82nd and Jandrel have been quite inactive. Let me know if you want this changed! Sorry, have a lot going on, so I may forget to update this thread once in a while Edit: Also, for a reasonable fee, you are welcome to mine at Red planets (subject to war conditions)
Umm... look what happened to the last bunch of poor sods that had ME for a Captain... *Points to the Wreckage of the Ship some ***** put ME in charge of prior to Game Start* Ya sure about this? Then again, if i'm the only GMT on the Server, hopefully I can't do too much damage with my incompetent Leadership... maybe... Guess I can give it a try. I'm still hoping us GMTs will have our own access to Resources, cause if not, I really don't see how that'd be any fair. Need to be able to Establish at least, instead of getting plopped down somewhere we'd have no choice but to chain die or live like a Cave Person after all, that'd be a rather sucky MP experience.
Well I would expect GMTs to have easy access to resources, considering that's their main source of income Then again I'm not designing the map, so Shakles will have to answer that. But I can only assume so.
I can confirm that I will be planning to put a full array of resources on Both Red and Blue homeworlds, plus the Danube locations. And yes, the grey dots do represent Grey market territory. If you look closely you will note you are located near where the traditional NPC merchants in DOTA-style games are located.
Woohoo! Though i've never played DotA or its Sequel. I played a little bit of Strife, then moved onto HotS when it came into Beta & I bought my way in with the Foundry Pack, & been playing HotS as my Moba ever since... though thanks to my unstable RL, mostly VS AI with AI Allies plus any buds caught on at the time. Fun fact: HotS has no Merchants or such, instead ya get to pick Talents from a selection of them at Levels 1, 4, 7, then a pick between 2 Ultimates at L10, then Talent at L13, & 16, then at 20, can Upgrade Ult or pick a special kinda Talent. Also the entire Team shares Levels so getting XP is always for the whole Team, not just yourself, thus making the game more Team Oriented. With that said, diggin us GMTs having our own Resources too! Many thanks! (Now if the Devs would make Meteors of the last couple remaining Ores to need Meteors for... especially Neodymium so Miniguns can't go extinct.)
We also need common ore asteroids for the asteroid belt, as I cannot put them into the server until the devs give us something.
If necessary I'm fine with changing factions for anyone really, just as long as i can use my fricking designs and BP's that I and thanks to slam, the Nero-Corvette 2.0 with me. If i cant then no go Edit: however if no one is going to take a crazy nut job like me Red is going to have to keep dealing with it. (seriously though, im not crazy)
You can use anything you can build, as long as it's not a direct copy of large existing IP's that are likely to invite a copyright lawsuit. I'm considering letting Tyrax lead Grey, but I also intend to make the Grey faction leader the master of ceremonies for all regular pvp events on the server until we can get some sort of automated way of setting up fights. So anyone considering the position, please note that this is part of the package. I really need to be able to observe the events as a third party for the sake of informatic analysis for development part of the time. Also, most players currently on the server will be moved into Grey faction until our population is large enough not to have population balance problems.
all sound's pretty neat and a little confusing. nevertheless I'm excited to get back on the red vs blue server...
Oh wow, I hope I can pull that off with how unstable my RL is... With that said, I can understand the point, I am a neutral impartial party & that'd be good for the fairness. I care not who wins, my joy is to (someday get to) bask in the carnage & have fun. Plus since i'm a ways away from getting my new Computer Build done, it'll be at least a bit before I can even try to Merc around & PvP. (Current latest part due to arrive is the 13th... then time to do the build itself & figure out how to get stuff transferred between builds, break in the new Build & get any Updating & Drivering Up done, etc.... & that's if all goes well.) Perhaps if my RL would cut me some slack I can try to do this some. Take note my availability is especially bad on any Weekend my Dad's here instead of not here, & he's here for Weekends more often then not here. Speakin of which, he's likely gonna be here this weekend, so I might be lucky if I even get to DL the Alpha & get to even Creative Mode on it to check out new stuff, screw around with the new Structural Integrity, etc. Frankly feels fitting to be in the Grey Faction cause my RL can feel awful grey... first event wasn't gonna be this weekend right? I assume EVERYONE would need to Establish & set up. (Earliest i'll be likely to get to work on this'll likely be this Monday if Dad doesn't drag me off, but I think that's unlikely this go cause i'm a LOT needed in helping Mom with the damn Taxes.) You're all awesome people for having me despite my problems... every last one of you.
I'm still lurking around. Been getting my PC ready for the Vive, tore my x51 and my server apart to get the best configuration. Re-downloaded all my Fallout and Elder Scrolls games and updated the mods. Also waiting on Alpha release. Hopefully Empyrion will get VR support, but I might go black once its delivered.
So much for Alpha this weekend... though now it's looking plausible that when it does arrive, i'll have my New Computer Build to greet it. Plus, we're getting compensated with even more stuff comin in the Alpha in exchange, including the T2 Drill with Auto-Ore Pickup! IMHO it's worth the delay for the T2 Drill alone! *Wonders if it's possible to tweak T2 Drill into MP Escape Pods in place of the T1 Drill...*
