I’m going to be a Nath-el scoundrel: a low-down, treacherous, bottom-feeding waste of space who thinks of nothing or nobody but himself. Just a real cockroach of a creature.
Re: Slicer Tools - Hacking Suite for Nexus
Update:
- Use the alias HTE for HACK TERMINAL EMBEZZLE. Bypassing the alias may result in strange behavior.
- New autohack setting: use_decoy. Will use decoy if there are 2 or more aggros in the room.
- Vandalized terminals. You can SLT SET ADD_VANDALIZED_TERMS TRUE to start adding these terminals to your database. Note that these terminals appear randomly and may disappear. You can always clean them up later with SLT DELETE <term_id>
Re: Hacking Contracts
Rewards will be unveiled Soon™Jerom said:I only have two complaints about the new changes :
1-I think the corporations where we need to CONTRACTS RETRIEVE should be more obviously identified. That time I got Vitus Pharmceuticals only to find out it was some nameless lab in Sabiak really annoyed me. Couldn't find any written mention of Vitus Pharmceuticals anywhere.
2-The progress in hacking rank is waaaaaay too slow. At Guru level (19), completing a contract gives 0.01% and it can only be done every 12 RL hours. Way too little for something that gives no other reward. There's no other skill to learn past Guru, no mark reward, nothing.
Aside from that, they're good fun. I don't mind the brokers being sneaky, but I'm also biased since BEASTs (and Nanoseers) have an easy way to detect them.

"Ancient Aliens": An informative history program about the Elders Races, who they are, and where they came from.
Re: Binge Watching in Space
Dare Dare — a popular Elgan game show that invites celebrity contestants from all over the galaxy to win big, though most contestants are then invited — and out of cultural respect, choose — to share and redistribute that wealth to the EU, to other contestants, or to a project of their choice. Half the fun is seeing where people choose to give their winnings in the end. It's pretty wholesome.

I get my gambling fix by attacking aggressively malfunctioning drones. New clone or a chance for loot? Only one way to find out!

Re: Pathfinder for Nexus
Another update:
- The Mapper now knows about the Zeta Deck PTP updates. If you're Scatterhome the PTP should pathfind using key ptp. If you're not Scatterhome, it should pathfind with TAKEOFF.
- Note that there is one bug currently where you can't travel from Whittler's to Zeta via PTP. I assume this is a bug with Starmourn so I've just left it unresolved in the Pathfinder. In the interim, if the pathfinder gets screwed up by this, just KEY PTP to another spot manually and the pathfinding should carry on.
- If for some reason the mapper does not correctly determine that you are Scatterhome, type 'mapperforcescatterhome'.
- While pathfinding you will now station transfer immediately upon leaving combat, in case you've been refused admittance to a transfer craft because you are in combat.
- Pathfinder will try to open doors now.
- Pathfinder will try to LAND now if you're trying to move from outdoors to indoors.
For some reason I can't edit the OP so here's the link:
Announcements post #89: A Terminally Cool November.
<pre>From: Ilyos, the Arbiter
Subject: A Terminally Cool November.
A Terminally Cool November
October is over. The Congregation of T'rath has been chased back to the shadows - for now. It's a new month, and the citizens of Starmourn have new things to pay attention to. For the development team, a new month means a new theme!
Hey Starmourn, question for you: Who among you is mindlessly staring into space, doing nothing but breathing softly? Answer: All of us, because November's theme is %7HACKING%. That's right, the hacking skill has been expanded. Hacking now has more levels, new ways to gain experience, a new ability, and a new, mysterious organization lurking in the background.
While we normally like bragging about every little detail of our new features, this month, we're going to leave the changes to hacking a surprise for you to discover on your own. The best way to learn everything that's new will be to log in and check out your hacking skill - maybe give a few things a try.
Who knows, maybe you'll be pointed in the direction of someone in game who might know more...
And for those who didn't figure it out yet, the minipet we were talking about yesterday, the shadow-wing, is attracted to people hacking terminals... keep on hacking!
Oh, right, we have a Wheel! The Worldbreaker's Wheel is back this month and it's looking to be better than ever. Log in and play for at least an hour every day for a free spin. For more spins and better chance at awesome rewards, we have star-stamped gaming tokens available on the website.
We've a whole host of hacking themed artifacts that can be won from the Wheel, among them two new artifacts:
- FRAYSys Spiders - These mechanical spider-like devices allow you to DOORJAM <direction> and completely lock the targetted door 5 minutes. Think of the possibilities!
- FRAY Priority Contracts - Reduces the cooldown on %7CONTRACTS% by 4 hours. What are contracts? Remember to check AB HACKING...
Other artifacts you can win are:
- ADH Enzyme Boosters
- Digestion Regulators
- Hacking Damage lvl 3
- Hacking Ops lvl 3
- Hacking Movement
- No Rankings
We have new items available as well, among which you'll find:
- a modified IdentTech holoprojector - Ever had that one person you just HAD to see all the time? Well, the IdentTech holoprojector allows you to conjure up the lifelike projection of whoever you want so that you may look at them all day
- a bulky signal jammer - This really messes drones up. Just point it at various drones you find in the Sector and see what happens
You'll also find a new LED-covered package among the rewards. These will give you a couple of our older things you might've missed, such as customization options from all previous promos, toys and others (alongside other smaller rewards).
Alongside these rewards you can win:
- Any of our already existing minipets
- RoamTek tents
- Novelty holocameras
- Matter articulators
and more.
We've a ton more hacking updates to come this month, as well as some more BIG content, so stay tuned for more developments! Don't expect the mystery and purpose surrounding new activities to be completely clear from the get-go, is all we're saying...</pre>

I dunno how long I can wait for my Krelleaux and my Elganveaux Empire can wait.... (this is the plural I shall use and no one will take it from me)

Re: Winners and Losers in Starmourn: Where do you fall?
Don't get me wrong, I want to win. I also want everyone to have fun, and not have half the game IRL pissed off at the other half. But it needs to make sense RP wise, while also not setting everyone off. RP wise Poet would murder the lot of you without a second thought if you got in her way, and then scan your INRs to make personality constructs of you.
