!find

The problem with pricing it that high is that those that can afford them can probably defend themselves very easily from attacks and so it probably won't be very useful for traders [that is compared to !find now] that aren't already uber-rich.

having the find command still wouldnt solve any issues with being found if you didnt want to be found, what sense does it make that you can be found anywhere you go in the galaxy by someone who doesnt even know how to get to where you might be, or might not be able to get there anyway

Pirates and the like won't enjoy having their name shown, maybe just a warning saying that you've been 'find'ed without a player name?

Good idea though smithy, i think it would work.

Yeah come one and take more stuff away from us, pirates. Next time you will be saying our ships are too big and strong and they have to be deleted. GRRRRRR

By the way have you read my topic about the traders using a inactive planet to repair their ships?!?!?!? GRRRRRRRR

P.S. If this goes on then piracy will dissapear then I will dissapear from the game GRRRRRRRR

ya know, all i realy did was point out that the !find command was being used wrong, now if it hurts pirates and a few quit then so be it, its for the greater good of the game.

if you quit a game just over one measly thing like the elimination of !find command making you work harder to pirate, then your either just being to stubburn/picky/lazy or just don't like the game enough in the first place.

reminds me of a little kid who stops liking his favorite toy just because he can't get it to do one little thing one time.

besides, i'm sure lots of new people have already quit because they constantly get blown up in space resaulting in loss of things anyway.

What do you mean used wrong Matthew. Are there rules for it somewhere?

matthew · Post by **matthew** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 12:45 am

used wrong as in stalking newbies and traders with it, am 75% sure mit put it ingame to find your friends in space and on other worlds not to stalk others

catalpa7 · Post by **catalpa7** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:08 am

I see. The game sure would be different without it. Probably better but I dont think it gives anyone an unfair advantage.

Noobs need more protection. How many new players make it past 100c?

I am sure MIT put lasers, missiles, countermeasures in space for combat, then comes guild wars and pirates DUH!!!! If you want pirates to leave the game and they do then you are removing another great part of the game coz being a pirate is another great option, I should remind you this is a RPG ( ROLE PLAYING GAME).

i woulden't mind seeing pirates leave. although it'd be better if they just cut back on pirateing a bit. afterall, tons of new players have left because of em.

why would you leave just because you can't use !find to instantly locate a player?
are you saying you can't hang around good trade routes and wait for targets? are you saying you can't handle the fact that it would be harder to make others game play miserable?

in real life, do you think murderers and hitmen can instantly locate another person no matter where they are in the world?

i'm sure lots of players DON'T play space because of you pirates.
i know i'm one of them, heard a few others mention it to.

zaroba · Post by **zaroba** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 1:22 pm

you sound like a baby crying over the fact that you have to do your homework.
'oh my god, its too hard, i'm gonna leave this game just because i have to do some work to get what i want'

!find is more of a cheat then a help. traders have no defense against it, yet piraters like you can use it to instantly locate any player and kill em, any time you want. whats the point in even playing space and taking the time to work my butt of to get a good ship when a i know how easy it is for you to !find me and kill me with your megascout with barely having to put any effort into it?

this is the same as the landing to repair thing
your crying over the fact that people are against keeping it easy for you and hard for them.

Lol you have compared me with a murderer, thats not good.................................

Anyways it has been said before but traders are also using it unfarely, they !find someone to learn good traders that ain't good. I am behaving like this coz if you take more fetures for us pirates then we will not have any tool to help us, and thats not good.

Pirating is already hard, dont make it harder. Especially those days when there is no prey in sight

You search all systems and not a single ship, just stars

Thats why sometimes we go for the noobs!

Anyways the !find command is very usefull for all of us, traders, pirates, travellers ect.
Dont take it out, I am sure Mit put it there for something.

P.S. Lasers, missiles are there for something. No, not for Pew Pew in the federation systems lol.

cmmon im a trador of iligal stuff but find command is good for all, u cn see where enamies are, where friends are and where back up is and pirates can do the same thy cn find bounties and traders so leave it alone this flood of new playewrs is great but your all winey lol

catalpa7 · Post by **catalpa7** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 2:50 pm

What about a 1 or 2 minute recharge time for the find command?

Pirates are a good element of the game but I also think it should be hard to pirate and the consequences should be greater.

Mishka if you didnt kill noobs there would be more rich players to pirate.

well, you pretty much are.

i diden't say i wanted it to be trader only.
i'd rather see NOBODY able to use it.

Pirating is already hard, dont make it harder. Especially those days when there is no prey in sight You search all systems and not a single ship, just stars

like i said, lots don't play space already (myself included) because of piraters like you. thats no excuse to make it easier to find the few that still put up with you. you piraters are the ones killing space and driving players away. thats why space is so empty, thats why you guys are having to use !find to find the same players over and over to kill, thats why this topic is now here.

Thats why sometimes we go for the noobs!

which is exactly why i wouldn't mind seeing piraters leave.

Anyways the !find command is very usefull for all of us, traders, pirates, travellers ect. Dont take it out, I am sure Mit put it there for something.

funny thing about that is, that in order to actually USE the !find command, you need to know a players username. thus, you can only use to to refind the players you already know over and over. how do you find out abut new players to use it on? by seeing them WITHOUT the command. can you explain to me why its so hard for you to find em without the command? especially when theres probably many who don't know the command or don't know everybodies username to successfully use the command.

like i said. this is exactly the same as the infimping to avoid blowing up thing (accidently said landing earlier, meant infimping).
you know how to use the command, you know peoples usernames to track them, many othersmight not so they can't track you and the many other piraters out there. your sitting here throwing fits because people are against keeping it unfair and against giving you and other pirates an unfair advantage.

You are right Catalpa and hey I dont kill noobs all the time, its not a hobby. Arecharge time is very well. I think it is the best idea I have heard. But dont remove it away it is a great tool for all of us in someway.

Well, that about using !find command instantly, why not make a friends list on space and you can only use !find command on your friends? That way, the feature is still there and people have to work harder. I admit the command is been used wrong but its also a good addition to the game. If you was to take it away, you'd need more upgrades to at least replace some of its usefulness.
