    Ok so what are the rules, I mean what SV and HV we can use in the races, is there any limitations, or will the admins just spawn similar vessels for everyone?

    We should probably create a page with rules of engagement for each race, with allowed vessels and limitations and maybe a race schedule with maybe:

    CET – Central European Time,
    CDT – Central Daylight Time
    ACT – Australian Central Time

    So everyone knows about the race time....

    I'm actually going to propose changing PREV1 or PvP. After an event yesterday, I relised the shortcomings of running an event in a PvE area. While it may be good for leaving things not to be messed with, bugging makes some things impossible in PvE. If Broken wants, I can make a temperate PvP file, or we can just change the planet to a PvP biome.

    I'm good with GMT, I've more experience, as I'm sure most have, in converting out of GMT. Instead of my god awful attempt to convert to GMT.

    Last night it took me over 2 hours and two trips around the planet to find 36 pcs of fiber. Any ideas what's going on?

    Also noticed the advanced constructor stopping and jumping production. I'm guessing it's a server overload issue
    . Thank you.

    that is due to ping and server trying to sync with your client

    Fiber is rare on Danube...may be some other planet have better amount of Fiber

    Ping is around 124. Used to play first person shooters at that rate. OK then.

    Thats funny about the fiber. Trying to BP in a CV to travel to planets but needed fiber to get the CV vessel.

    remove the growing plot , then BP the CV again...that way you won't need fiber to build that, and when you get enough fiber, make and place the growth plots...

    also the problem of constructor if due to bug should be fixed in 1.4.0


    so if you think you still experience above mentioned problems...make a bug report

    I'm all good here. I did get the fiber I need. Just didn't understand the lack of it. All good here. Thanks.

    As of right now there is no target and there's no finger of blame being pointed at anybody.

    The incident with the patrol vessel "Super Schwalbe" was a definite, blatant attack on our assets and we responded in kind. You saw the screenshots, someone buzzing around on Jotunhiem decided to blow a hole clean through her. GMT was the immediate suspect due to their presence on the planet where the attack occurred.

    However, this incident with the Beserker was not quite so plain, and was much less likely to have been caused by another faction. I suspect a careless member of Blue may have left it somewhere, used it to cruise around the galaxy and ran out of Pentaxid crystals away from home.

    TL;DR: Missing ships moored in faction space are FAR less problematic than clear-cut attacks on vessels, in addition it's very unlikely another faction is to blame.

    Charitable? Yeah right. Ya were showing off Blue Might & 'poofing your feathers to look big'. Ya think i'm gullible & naive? :p;)

    Visit my Steam Profile. I took a couple Screenies. ;) (I wish I had been able to outright Vid the spectacle. It was a fun sight to see, especially the huge sized Barrel Rolls & the Ship sitting on the ground with its Metric Crapton of Weight held up mostly off the ground by only THREE Space Orange Trees! XD )

    Speakin of which, I STILL can't find any info on how the W10 Integrated Game Recorder works, how to control it, how to add games to it for it to lock onto to Vid, or anything, NOT EVEN ON MICROSOFT'S OWN SITE!!! WTF!!? :mad: Can ANYONE help me with this? :(

    Seriously... if it wasn't for a pal of mine also with W10 already managing to Vid stuff with the damn thing & showing me the Vids it made, i'd wonder if I had been outright flat out lied to about this Feature even existing... & even that Pal couldn't tell me how to find it or make it work cause he says he's forgotten & it just simply auto-does it for him. *Facepalm*

    Sadly Fiber & Alien Plasma T6 is not in high abundance on Danube. :(

    Oho, we have bigger and more intimidating ships for feather floofing. And I thought everyone loved it judging from the excited screams from the ground. :(

    I never said I didn't like it. I said I don't believe it that it was 'only charity' with no other Ulterior Motive. :)

    So, a lot of people on the server are experiencing issues with keeping hold of factions and their Ships/bases, and so it seems its more of an issue with the server stuggling to supply the demands that the current dedicated server is needing, and Hummel has posted saying that this may be a common issue due to a large amount of players on at one time or the amount of play fields running at the same time. meaning that the issues may arise from the server having issues of allocating the proper amount of Ram for the server to run properly, and so Ram may become overwhelmed and have some files corrupted.

    So I went back and re-worked my Light Battle Tank into a better form, and it's also ready for HV battles if anyone is interested. Should present a bit less of a challenge than my Main Battle Tank :p

    Again if anyone is interested in HV battles (I can spawn one in for you) just let me know :)

    Update:

    Did a few battles with a few BNS and a GMT member in the HVs, and my Light Battle Tank got stomped pretty quick, so that one may need a re-think... or perhaps just a better driver >.>

    My Main Battle Tank fared better, but yet again I think all involved understand HV combat a little better and I'm sure we all have ideas on how to improve our designs for next time. And the most important part: it was very fun :p

    *CoughShamelessSelfPromotionCough* :p

    I wonder if that's what caused the death of my first Player File?

    Ahh, lovely, so i'm the only one losing at the Tank Battles. That makes me feel better. :(

    On the bright side... I think I have completion of my future RvB Server SV, I even gave it a hopefully GMT Dress Code compliant Paint Job. Also wanted to try Texturing it too, but not sure how to go about this, especially when I can't Color the Textures just any ol' way I might wanna & still be compliant with Dress Code. I dunno if I pushed my luck even doing the Painting of the Weapons & maybe Cockpit Black & Landing Pads Orange cause I thought they looked good that way. Boss WarMachine, do I need to Submit the SV Design for your approval before use on the Server? What's the Server Rules Procedure on this? Plus need the Paint Job scrutinized by ya too & feedback on if I followed the Dress Code good enough or if it'll need tweaked. I also dunno if there's any 'rules' in regards to SV & CV Balance or if anything goes that one can build on this aside from the blatant obvious 'Don't abuse Bugs/Glitches/Exploits' that I already follow naturally. I even refuse to pull the cheese of hiding Thrusters inside Bodes with stuff butted up against the Thrust that would logically give that Thrust nowhere to go.

    Or heck, anyone who wants to can check out my new Build, I already got it Steam Workshoped. Search for the "Tyrax Dragonet". :) (Name designed to where ya can give your own version of this Ship a personal name in Quotations after 'Dragonet'. I have dibs on my personal version of this Ship being gonna bear the name "Iji", after one of my fav Indie Game Female Main Characters ever. ^_^ )

    Oh, also, been meaning to ask this for awhile & kept forgetting... in one's SP Creative Mode, is there any way to 'delete' Creations one may no longer need?
