    That may be the back half of my fighter you rammed. It was there one second, gone the next. Could it have reappeared on the side of your CV? who know. Can't account for the X though. Other wise you would have hit Iji #2 in HB's hangar. When I logged she was shot to pieces along with the CV, both her sides where still there.

    Woohoo! I got my stuff done in time for the Final Event of this Server Incarnation! I'm preppin the new Iji for the Carnage now... > : D (This Forum REALLY needs a Devil Emote.)

    Also, ya Admins might wanna give the Server itself some warning for those that have no clue this Thread exists... unless ya want them to be surprised on purpose, which I personally wouldn't mind considering searching for a Thread for a Server on that Game's Forums isn't particularly hard to do. :p

    Well I'd ask your Blue team friends to help you out and wing-man a bit for you.

    Under the table of course :)

    Oh, guess I should ask while I can: Is this a Faction vs Faction thing or a total outright Free for All Brawl, Super Smash Bros. style? (Still has no Personal CV to cart myself around with...)

    I put your entire string of text into a online voice synthesizer and made the voice sound like a British woman.

    I am NOT disappointed.

    That's what Star Viper's little dude thought it'd do too... Iji won handily. ;)

    Edit: Brace yourselves! War is imminent! > : D

    Edit 2: Or not... Slam, I think your Time Converter Link failed me. :/

    Brokenshakles was unable to make the server PvP. Sorry, he's the only one who can do that.

    However, Methodik has just shut off the server for the wipe. I'm sending Broken the files. I will post final "patch notes" to the changes I've made - I haven't heard from the other faction leaders that they are making changes.

    SEMI-OFFICIAL PATCH NOTES:

    - Fixed a typo where the Southern Asteroid Field was known as an "Asteriod Field"

    - Moved Azurus and Pyrite further away, in a straight line. They should now be about 18.2 AU from their respective Citadels, and 20.3 AU from their nearest planets (Pyrite and Muspellhiem, and likewise Azurus and Jotunhiem). Take note that the Citadels are in the same position as they were previously.

    - Renamed Danube to Danube Greater. I didn't change any of its properties other than its name. The reason why I renamed the planet is....

    - Added a barren planet to Danube Beta. This planet is titled Danube Lesser. It is a new, unique barren planet. It is meant to encourage players who do not already want to join a faction to perhaps join one. More details on Danube Lesser are in the spoiler:
    Danube Lesser has a breathable atmosphere, unlike a normal barren planet.
    Danube Lesser does not have any Zascosium or Erestrum. You will need to join a faction, or contest faction space, to obtain these late-game materials. Sathium is not available on the planet, but should exist in the asteroid belt in the orbit (which is identical to Akua's asteroid belt).
    Danube Lesser also has somewhat deeper resource deposits. This is done to discourage resource overexploitation: you have to work harder to get the resources, so you will be more likely to only dig for resources you need.
    Danube Lesser has smaller resource deposits than a normal Barren planet, but it also has more deposits. A player can only hoard so much this way.
    And be careful trying to mine for Neodymium. If drones work, if you see a Neodymium deposit then look out for drones.
    Danube Lesser will have 8 to 10 POIs. Perhaps the unrecruited players on Danube Lesser will encounter bigger clans moving in to loot the place.

    - Added a moon to Danube Alpha. This moon should be just like the other two moons already in the server. The moon is called Isar; in Europe, the Isar River is a tributary of the Danube River and flows through Austria and Germany.

    Generally speaking, three main things were done on my part. Blue and Red's planets are moved so that the Citadel sectors are now more important. Grey Market, the largest faction, no longer has to share a playfield with incoming players. Finally, Grey Market is getting its own moon, so it can be more on par with the other factions.

    The faction leaders are discussing a bigger rebalance. The existing solar system was only designed for two factions, and not a third. Some time in the future there will likely be another server wipe, though it won't happen for a while, and when this wipe occurs we can redesign the solar system to acquaint Grey as a full faction once and for all.

    Like the re-balance..my thought on this is limit the blue crystal spawning on 3 faction planet/moon / orbit to limit warp travel and have PvP playfields rich with blue crystals so factions can contest over that..

    resources are always plentiful sply after meteors start dropping..so no point contest for a planet over regular resources
    Edit: also mention the server rules on PvP (may be the story too) and add web address (new site? or this thread) to the server info

    Making PvP planets more desirable in that regard will be something I'll keep in mind for the major redesign. The stuff I did today was pretty tacky stuff, comparable to ducktaping something together instead of super-gluing or welding it. I'll try to find out how blue crystals are spawned, and also how to modify meteorite falls, and incorporate those things into PvP territories.

    Modifying the server info as seen in the browser, I have no idea where that is done, but hopefully Broken and Methodik can do some of that tonight. And yes, we are hopefully getting a new site after the downtime is over.

    Looking forward to trying the fresh server. Haven't really felt like playing since my Base was stripped of all resources. Apparently the GMT is not quite as friendly or trustworthy as i thought.

    A question?

    So now that there will be a place for new recruits to live. Does that mean that will be the only place to spawn for any of us on server reset? Or can you still choose to spawn on the 3 other planets? Both ways seem to have disadvantages for either factions or faction leaders.
