Right Great Community, And what oh bug usage. apparntly your running new players off and im not the only one that said that. I crashed when i died and you all like well it was comming to you. all i have to say from thoughs post is dont complain. He killed you. you crashed. Welcome to the community and the ones complaning are SR members.

Now admins. The point of closing topics is to prevent spam but what spam is it when your telling the members that they are running away new players? Do you not want new players on your game? As were trying to fix issues with random killing by people which runs away new people. My friend joined the game when i was playing he died three time lost all his money because a SR member killed him. He had no bounty what so ever they just wanted to kill him. He quit. So i suggest something should be done about this killing before you loose all new players.

To you SR fellows /closed for me proving the community is going down hill and about the bugs.

well its not all bad I mean this is one of the best communties in a small town game ive had in awhile
usalley when I encounter a game like this I come in contact with a holes and such that do nothing but flame my questions or use it against me
but, boggy Im still a newb I dont know you in game but from ur rep here you should stay just say ok they screwed up once know biggie

[keira47]

I'm a new player too, I enjoy the game. Sure getting pirated is annoying, but crashing is easly avoidable. I think the game just requires some intelligent play, sort of realistic actually.

[Boggy]

I dont play anymore i play Face of mankind which i find more fun if i want to deal with stuff like this. Either way just saying wait till you loose all your stuff from people that say they "wont" attack you and "crash" you and you have to restart. Hurray.

[JamesV]

i dont understand why would you buy a 500 money computer then pay about 20 a month playing a gamne u get bored with in a matter of weeks...

[VDZ]

Boggy, the previous topic was closed because nobody agreed with you, and the topic was turning into a flame war.
Also, if you don't like the game, we don't care. As you can see, plenty of people do like the game. You don't have to play, so if you don't like it, just go away. Don't tell the people who do like the game that the game isn't fun.

[Gavinbaisk]

Wooooo, wait a bit boggy. I'm SR and i don't believe i've attacked you. Infact, i rarely attack anyone. SR have a rule about not killing players below a certain amount of cash/won't be able to make it up to keep players in the game. Who was it who made you so angry about SR? I know for a fact that we mostly attack players on the top10 wealth. Also, I'm not taking sides just yet but some more info about what makes you disagree with us would be good so we can sort this out. If your talking about players like me scaring off the new players, then why? how?

And for those asking why SR keeps getting the blame, we are the biggest pirate faction in the game, we will always be treated like this and we deserve it. Either live with it or leave the squad.

*Willburn has a feeling that Cubabart and Boggy are one and the same person....*

[Boggy]

tbh im not the same person as that person. that would be pointless. Bealive what you want but were not. Not all SR i have met some decent ones like morb. Why get blamed for SR. Because they are the ones that harrased me. i ran into the other Clans and they actully sat there and let me trade and not kill me. i ran into FBI he was very nice he thought i was with SR but i told him i wasnti came out and we talk. I come out into open with SR member and they shoot at me i go into space station. He said he was testing missles or w/e and wont shoot. Ok so i come back out and i crash and i come back in dead no cash and lasers gone. So i find the other clans i can trust more then SR. Im not blaming all of SR just some. I dont expect everyone to be perfect and get along wheres the game in that but i would think that people would at least respect there own words when they said they wont shoot and you come out and crash. First they said they wouldent shoot and you die. 2nd you crash. i never have killed a person that crashed to any of the sort. If i told someone i wouldent shoot i wouldent kill them. I have helped newbs in the system when they were in battle with a newb pirate after telling that pirate to stop because he was going to take everything.


To the person that said no one agrees with me then you need to read the links i sent because im not the only one that thinks some people are scaring away new players. I talked to players under me that were new and siad they were going to quit because they were being killed so i tried to prrotect them. :Like Pie we were in space hes trading and some guy trys to attack him. I dont know pie from jack but i relised he was going loose everything so i tri to protect him.

[JamesV]

well from ur side it seems like it was a simple misake I mean if he was just testing missiles than maybe he should have just gone farther away to test them?

(lol im such a newb

You didnt read did you?

He shot me i said he was testing missles. After he shot me i got in to SPACESTATION

Then as i come out i crash and die after he said he wasnt going to kill me.

So it wasnt a mistake when he said "COme out i wont kill you" then i crash i login im dead and im in home planet and i said wtf im dead and he goes thats what you get.

No i dont see that as a mistake i see that as someone not having any honor in there words.

To you SR fellows /closed for me proving the community is going down hill and about the bugs.

ok... lets address this. Firstly apologies for getting no official response from your comments, however im sure you can appreciate that as an independent group of developers who do not have the resources of major software companies we have to fit in time to administer/respond and develop into the very limited time spans available in between paid work and commitments to our families/real life.

we have always stated openly that this game is in beta development, therefore many features are being tested and the balance of features/fairness of the game is constantly being tweaked, this is demonstrated with the new bounty systems which is trying to balance the levels between traders and pirates, without sounding harsh if that is something that you feel unable to manage then the game is probably not for you.

the posts that you have pointed out, have only indicated exploits that have been evident for the last few day, we have already started the assimilation of information in order to address this but as you are probably aware many things happen outside of the public community, again if you require the instantaneous levels of support, games you subscribe to are probably more appropriate.

As you can see from the bug reports forum in the last 14 months the stats are...

Not Reviewed:(42) Open:(59) Rejected:(76) Fixed:(189) More Info:(16)

that means we investigate / fix over 20 bugs per month (thats probably quicker than microsoft )

Finally it is my prerogative to lock posts that i believe are turning it a flame conversation and do not add value to the forums, generally topics are left for a short period of time to see if the turn in to something meaningful, that topic was not.

That is all .... Magic

boggy said that he lost his lasers, and the only way that i think that can happen is if you had a bounty someone tried to collect it and he couldnt pay for it so he lost his lasers. And boggy if you crashed and then logged back on and everything was gone wouldnt yo be trying to go on about this on the bugs forum to see if it had happened to anybody else.

[JamesV]

ur right I only assumed what I said cause once again I was in school hoping the teacher wouldnt find me

[zaroba]

boggy, if space isen't appealing towards you, theres always the worlds.

being far more developed then the galaxy, theres no exploits/bugs that will resault in you being unable to play. plus there more strictly moderated and many economy worlds have no bounty/fighting or have it only in set areas so it wont effect all players. plus there generally more strictly moderated to eliminate and reverse any scammers/cheaters actions.

theres more to the game then just space. no need to bash the whole game just because of space.



also, your not alone in the worry for new players. many will probably be able to tell you i've taken part in numerous 'save the new players' arguements. as far as i'm concerned, anybody that purpously attacks new players resaulting in them having to start over is somebody who wants to see the game die and thus shoulden't even be allowed to play.

really it's just a matter of finding out ways to make it safer for new players while preserving the ability to trade, pirate, and get started. its really quite hard to balence fighting and economy equally. even harder when you try to make it so that its so pointless to attack players the poorer/newer they are so that nobody does while trying to maintain the worthfulness of attacking experienced players in harder to blow up ships AND still have trading just as profitable for all players.
