' Wrote:I don't think Ageira did the Tlagsnet or control it.

But the tlagsnet is closely linked to trade lanes - the trade lanes are the "vehicle" for the TLAGSNET info, so it would be very odd if the TLAGSNET isnt linked to Ageira or Ageira tech to some extent.

As I said, start Rping things. Don't expect to be given just like that. As of now, admins are clear on this.

Edit : LH~ are quite useless sadly.

What? How can I RP having actual info that I dont? Should we also just RP every single PVP-encouter instead of playing it out in-game?

This game has RP underpinnings, but it is still a computer game and most things in effect rely on what is possible within the computer game.

Otherwise we might just as well close the server and make this into a "cyber" pen & paper game played on the forum.

EDIT: Also I dont have a Hacker character, and I am not looking for some OP tool to maximize piracy profits (which I don't think limited TLAGSNET access would - in effect a sentry sitting at jumpgate to the system could provide similar info) It would just be a cool/fun way to implement some of the Hacker background to the actual computer game we are playing - to diversify the options and the choice of strategies.

Try Rping with Ageira that you are trying to bribe them and getting info they have to hack things?

RP trying to hack things.

You mean powergaming?

How does it qualify? Trying is called Power-gaming?


Its called RP really. You can fail or Succeed. It always doesn't mean to Happen.

If I successfully hack into someone's comms, it is effectively powergaming (or metagamaing). If I never succeed, there is no point in trying.

who said about hacking comms? That sure is power gaming. I was more into hacking into TLAGSNET.

Edit : If this is also power-gaming, then LH wont get TLAGSNET.

But how can I RP that, I still fail to see it? I can RP hacking into TLAGSNET, and I might even be succesful, but it still doesnt actually give me access to TLAGSNET so what's the point?

I can RP being a fighter-ace, but I still suck at PVP so in-game I will never be an ace.

Hacking isnt a one hour job XD.... Get to see how Britain cracked Germany SHARK language. How much time it took.
