This is Noobie 1-1....

[onca]

Hullo there. I am a noobie. To Discovery mod that is, so please go easy and forgive in advance any dumb questions or lame actions.

First, sorry for making my in-game handle (ONCA) all-caps. I made a mistake.

Second, great mod. Love it.

Now I've put together a list of a few noob questions, if you would be so kind. Again sorry if sounding stoopid:

1. What is meaning "PM", as in "PM me...."?

2. What is meaning "AFK"?

3. Any other acronymnsngo pertinent to the game?

4. What's the go with "faction tags"? Understood, one can join player faction, for $$$. But I've heard mention of joining NPC factions? Howz that?

5. Do wrecks respawn? How often? I hope there's a rule to discourage "farming".

6. Any reason why I can't form up with a Liberty dreadnought convoy? Yes my rep with them is "green", and I can form up with a cruiser convoy, etc. Bug?

7. What's the go with Taiidan (sp.) ships? They seem pretty ordinary to me. Like the Taiidan fighter, nothing but a boxy Rogue Bloodhound, for sale in Rhineland???!!!

9. Any "gentleman's" rules with PvP? (besides none in NY and <lvl.30). Will a player announce "I shall kill you now", or just start shooting? I mean, are we talking Marquess of Queensbury or sucker punch from behind.

10. What's the etiquette with another guy's loot? I saw some guy blow up so many NPCs, the space was littered with loot, much more than he could carry. Is it rude to feed off his table scraps? Ok I wouldn't tractor the captain's lifepod or a Cerberus turret, but that worthless H-fuel would mean alot to a low-level player.

11. Can we demand cargo from NPCs? How done? ("Ok Freelancer 3-1, here's the gate/lane parts! Please don't hurt me!" or "Right, everybody off the cruiseliner and into my hold. Its the cardamine slave-factories of Crete for you now!")

That's it for now. Keep up the good work, and see yous "Sirius side".
