  • (Quote) Run on sentences definitely have their place when you need to convey that a lot is happening in a very short span of time. One of the nice things about knowing all the little grammatical rules for one's own language is that it teaches…
  • I just justified a $300 console with a $60 game that was entirely worth every penny even though we bought the console months ago. 
  • Primary use for tractor beams seems to be to make asteroids less onerus, since you can fire the beam at the asteroids to get them to stop moving, letting you tether them more easily. The SF INSPECT file suggests they deal damage, but frankly with th…
  • (Quote) Personally, I figure a portion of W'hoorn still have cactus schweens, but it's an evolutionary throwback akin to a human born with a tail. The fact that their mating habits are still competitive suggests that they were likely MUCH wor…
  • Fx IV Falcon has been destroyed by cleax #4.


    Battle of the Fours!

  • Pulling in my 2 marks from there as well:
    I got the impression that it's not any one specific sport, but more like some of them like space football, others like space REAL football, others space lacrosse, or space boxing, or spaceship…
  • So something like this.

    Got my starter interceptor that's supposed to…

  • Frankly my assumption is that they're just convincing looking holograms bring projected over Ultarine robots with several-inch thick body plating. This is the future, with the technology to do that. And spacers are known to be a bit...passionate<…
  • Called mine Molly, and am in the process of writing new messages for everything.
  • Can TAKEOFF TO # and STATION TRANSFER TO # be consolidated and aliased to one another fully? Right now TAKEOFF LIST already aliases to STATION TRANSFER LIST if you're in a transfer hub, but the MXP link fails to recognize the syntax.

    Whil…
  • One of mob descs mentions that the Ascendancy's logo can be tessellated, and a few of us on the discord were trying to brainstorm both the logo and the flag.
  • Before the general announce, we'd asked about it as a workaround for something unrelated to captaincy ratings and had gotten that answer. It was sort of obvious in hindsight that trading materials back and forth wasn't an intended behavior though si…
  • (Quote) We've been specifically told that Bad Things will follow if someone is caught doing that or anything similar. Possibly even the removal of market captaincy gains altogether, or shifting them to the refining instead of the delivery. 
  • Hops 3-6 for the NA test there were leaving the test servers' local network, everything else was under 100. Does look like there might be something going on with backbone servers still. Might just be regular attenuation though.
  • (Quote) If I make an effort to do so, I think verbally. (Usually if I exhale while forming a thought I'll 'hear' it) if I'm not making that effort, but I'm talking to someone, I hear my thoughts almost at the same time as I start to speak. If…
  • Technically so are sandwiches, bologna, cologne, most alcohols, tangerines, sardines, cantaloupe, martinis, and via a strange etymology peaches. Granted, most of those don't exist in Starmourn anyway, but there's also tuxedo (a town in New York…
  • So, something that kind of toes that line a little, would it be okay to use the appearance to describe something as, for example "a plate of French toast sticks", "a Cardigan sweater", "a pink poodle skirt", or "an alexandrite bangle"? These are all…
  • Man, I actually remember one of my characters catching flak in his love life because the family his potential partner was in was openly homophobic in the insidious "there's nothing wrong with them, but I forbid anyone in my family from dating one" s…
  • Fwiw: my dumb hours mean that I kinda need the politics news to know what's going on without having to have someone give me a play by play on one of the two nights a week I can play while there are other people to play with. (Quote)
  • Since I'm sure something like it will be made/suggested anyway:

    Superposited Power Cell:
     - At any time, this QPC is both installed and not installed on any given turret. Even when installed, you may …
  • (Quote) (Comments to follow on the entire economic model, this quote is just for clarity.)

    So, a few things here:
    1) Refineries are going to operate on razor thin margins. This is what will happen and I'm…
  • And just to course correct a nitpick because it's been repeated: That is the level 10 quest. I know this because I JUST did the level 15 quest, and that required that I talk to someone who was on the planet being protected by the ships you shoot dow…

    Aside from .01 marks per unit per IG year, what do you lose holding on to those materials until we have a real economy? We aren't bleeding out, we're waiting until the real problem (see Matlkael's post above) is fixed. Once we ca…
  • For the record, the bandaid I was talking about was artificially creating market orders to NPCs for arbitrary mark sums to address the 'nowhere to sell materials to make marks' concern. There are some market orders for random materials at 5-6 m/u fo…
  • Right now there's nothing to spend those resources on either. Sure we can make some stuff instead of buying it, but in terms of marks spent, just the refinery fees alone make the SF more cost effective. Once the manufacturing gets into a better…
  • I don't know that 30 is the "likely to stick around" cutoff right now, or even a week from now. 13-15 seems to be where the first xp falloff happens, and given that space is mindbogglingly big and gives flakk-all in terms of ground XP, someone could…
  • One solution to the design limit thing might be to waive the download fee if it's something you designed.

    Okay, clarification time.

    You purchase a refinery for a bunkload of marks. The station adjusts its econstatus and everyone gets a new number that represents the per-refine/per-batch costs the station takes. T…
  • If I'm remembering/reading right that readout means that, at the amounts you have set, every batch of whatever that is costs someone else 10 marks and you lose a net of 299 because you didn't set yours high enough. YOU need to set it to 31m/u in ord…
