I agree with all of you about what has been said here.
-- First off I'll say that I have also used my trrader to get my other charactes started as well. Altough with Davey's ship he had no need for help from a trader cause I would hunt expensive cargo and sell it and make just as much if not more than the trader could provide me. I mostly used the trader to pay my startup money to new clan members, which i shouldn't do anymore either. It gets kind of rediculous with all of the transfers people do on that server, and I'm guilty of it as well, but it annoys me every time I get on. "Hey Davey can I have a transfer?"
After a while I would say no unless they were pirates or terrorists like myself.
-- I decided a little while back that I would RP completely with most of characters I even carry a load all the time on Davey's ship like water and people cause I figure if it were real life Davey would have those things aboard his ship.
Davey was probably the only character that I had that I did do RP pretty much from the beginning. I do many other things as well with him RP wise.
--- Also about the trains I think that they do need to be more supseptible to CDs. I figured out though, that if you target the engines using the sub-target thing they added in 4.80 then it will stop them 80% of the time.
--- As for the trade routes go I'm glad they are making them better cause its getting very old doing the usual and even the unusual ones are boring now.
In the end I'm hoping that this version forces people to RP more if they want to get anywhere faster.
Sorry for being long winded I tend to do that allot, so I appologise.
Enterprise was right beside my outcast character when a bloody liner left malta, finally stopped when we told it too, ordered it to hand over money... nothing for about a minute or two, then the F***ing B****** F1'd on us.
That is why I use to only go after traders occasionally and only while using my phantom BS, shoot first, no demands.
Though would it count as piracy if they offer money to get away?
Can't remember, got the screenie of it somewhere, can't be bothered at the minute to find it out.
I just put it down to him being unable to RP and not interested in RPing either.
It's seriously getting tempting to see how many people would like wolf to put a password on the server so that everyone HAS to come read the forums before logging on.
It might stop all the casual 'I want a BS!', 'How long will it take to get one!', 'Gimme the money for one!' players who aren't even interested in the RP events, stories and history that has built up here.
You know, if I'm on the server and people are doing that, you guys can ask me to use universe chat to tell everyone that begging is not allowed.. Noobies are over-awed by the universe chat..
I'll second that password idea Marauder. Make the newbies do some homework before they come in.

:shok: Universe Chat :shok:
I've been here a while and it still has the general effect of making me stop in my tracks and say "Yes, oh great voice in sky! What is thy command?"
hey, um i just feel like saying this but ive only ever been pirated once and it hapened so fast i didnt even think to F1, insteed i hit Shift W as fast as i cold because that was what i was used to. i think it was dab who did this but im not shure, who ever it was i gave them half my cargo to get away
oh and i also think the pasword thing is a good idea, maney servers use them and it seems to work prety well.
