Full Version: Am I doing all wrong?

Hello everybody and congrats for your Mod. I'm an old Freelancer SP player (50 y.o.) and before trying Discovery MP I explored the new systems and defeated most of the new foes in SP, now I'm 58 level in MP, because I've killed lots of hessians and nomads with freelancer ID, but now I wear IMG's (all my well gained reputation blowed) with a Spatial, 2 Hvy Flashpoints, 3 P. Godess, 1 Delusion, 3 Adv. Debilitator MKII turrets, 2 Cutter mines, Brigandine Fr Shield C6 and armor Upg IV and excepting Mollys and Rogues, everybody kill me!!!
Players ask me all the time if am I a miner, ALG and LSF players in Alaska blowed me in two shots to get my nomad remains even being suposed allies, of course corsairs and outcasts players attack me, and I don't have any chance, my weapons do no effect on them and even with an Adv CM massive dropping no way to fly away. It's aloud they attack me on a mission fight? or two or more against one? some of them just shoot me without warning...
Another thing, most of the wrecks I found were empty, and don't know other way to obtain class 10 weapons.
Resuming, I'm getting tired and I want vengeance!!! Please give good advice. Hail
Discovery is skill based game,expect to die a lot at the beginning, your ship is not practicality good in PvP, using the manual controls, it works better if you use turret steering, since you are really new and you need to read a lot I suggest this:

Repping tutorial would show you how to adjust your reputation properly.
The tutorials about PvP can help you to be better in shooting.

Alaska is off limits system in RP, it is restricted military zone, the same military types wont shoot you in New York for example. I suggest to read the Wiki as well about the discovery lore:
http://discoverygc.com/wiki/

Also if you are interested in base building project drop me a PM.
nomad remains are Contraband in all 4 houses
about alaska you should read http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Alaska
you should upgrade your shield to Adv. Champion H. F. Shield
the wrecks can only be looted 1 time so you have to wait for a server reset before they can get looted again
people are also not allowed to shoot you without warning they have to show some rp before

and this should be useful aswell

1. Alaska is closed system.

2. Shield is fine.

3. IMG is miner faction, its enemies are: Corsairs, Outcasts, independent pirates (Pirate ID)

Plus Unioners, Farmers Alliance, Rogues.

You were very likely engaged for your Nomad Remains. Keep an eye out on the ID of other players around you (or look them up on the Wiki) to see if they are likely to pirate or engage you.
Read the laws for each house at

Every bit of claimed space has laws, and vary according to who controls that space. You don't necessarily need to follow them all the time, just don't get caught Wink
Thanks to all for your kind replies
Also, do not forget that the Spatial is a SHF, meaning it is as agile as a brick; if you are fighting VHFs and HFs, expect to be blown to hell, unless you use a lot of missiles and are good at chain-firing missiles. Also, do not forget armor upgrades; they are very, VERY useful. And nomad remains attract a lot of attention, as they are the most expensive commodity in the mod.
Please know that this is totally different from SP. It's a role playing universe, meaning that things are role played, if you will.

First off, the Alaska System is completely off limits to anyone that isn't bearing LN ID or LSF ID. The NPCs may not reflect this, but players of the Navy and LSF will engage you on sight.

Second off, yes, nomad remains are illegal.

Thirdly, IMG has quite a few enemies, who will shoot you.

Fourth off, weapon speed matters. It's what determies where your crosshair would be. I suggest using weapons that are very closely matched, for instance Purple Goddesses and Adv. Deb Turret Mk 1. Both are 700 MS, so your crosshair should be spot on. You can make a thread [url=http://discoverygc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=66] if you want to sell that codename dangling around, or buy equipment.

Fifth, you can only shoot a wreck once per each character. Codenames do reset daily, but you'll need a different ship to shoot it and actually get something from it.

Sixth, Cutter mines aren't useful. Get Nuclears or Screamers.

Seventh, get a better armor upgrade like Heavy Armor Upgrade Mark 2 or Universal Armor Upgrade Mark 8.

Eighth, your freighter shield should have around 22,000 shield capacity, if not, it's surely time for an upgrade.

Ninth, people ask you if you're a miner because IMG are called Independant Miner's Guild for a reason. The Spatial, believe it or not, is actually a mining vessel.

Tenth, use /conn if you want to just flat out shoot each other in a controlled enviroment to heighten your skills. /return brings you back. Be sure to ask people to fight first.

Lastly, I hope this helps, and if you ever need some help or whatever, just message [Angels]Tal or anyone who is tagged [Angels].
