couple of questions

Post by Sonro »

ok - I've been away for a while and there have been various (extremely funky looking) changes to the game, so I'm just looking for a little clarification and yes, I've done forum searches but can't find relevant info :)

ship repairs - how do they happen now? previously leaving the system or docking at a station (after an attack, not during,) ship would be repaired - or if remaining in system, would repair over time.

how much does a pirate steal? - fixed amount or percentage?

how do I know if some-one's in my guild? is there an icon or an in-game list I've not found?

Ship repairs - I'd like an answer to that too. In last night's combat testing fest, I managed to escape from some evil alien freighter with about 25% hull integrity remaining (well, he ignored me and chased someone else :). No way to repair at the station...

Pirate booty - AFAIK they get a random mix of your cargo, but mit'll need to confirm (or maybe a pirate)

The guild thing I can help with. Members of your guild are shown in the player list with a little G symbol and in green.

that might have been (at least in part) my cruiser actually - you kept getting in between me and coolbiker.

ah right - wondered what that was - thought it was identifying the gods as I'd only seen you and mit with it :) s'pose thats the prob of being in such a small (or should it be exclusive) guild :)

Currently all cargo is taken by the pirate when they kill you.

No ship repairs are allowed atm. (Though, of course, the damage is cleared when you die). It will get added to the spacestations at some point (for a suitable cost)

Hi sonro,

crashing into any planet clears ur hull damage, but not the alert.

Logging after a fight used to do the same thing but not tried it for a while-dont get hit very often :-)

p.s. very hard to reach a planet during actual fighting, as i found out last night. So pleeeease leave this facility in game mit. i would hate to win a fight, only to die at anothers hands shortly after :(
