' Wrote:but if thats all you have, thats all you have. suck it up and grind away
I don't want to spend all the time I have available trading instead of roleplaying. OH YOU GOT 30 MINUTES, SPEND IT TRADING, AND RP SOMETIME NEXT MONTH. No, go away.
Quote:this is an rp server, not a cap-ship server
He was only saying the profits sucked. He didn't say he wanted a capship. Some of us don't like having the same character forever. I have one character with 6 ships, another with 3, and a bunch of various other characters. Gunboats are about 80mil to outfit properly, transports, depending on which you get, are 30-140mil to properly outfit.
Quote:if it makes you money, then you have to accept that the life of a long-dstance trucker is lonely and boring.... why should a long-distance space trucker have excitement?
Because we play the game to have fun and be entertained. Not to be bored to death. This is a game, not real life. Also, see this. They're a space trucker and they're getting excitement.
Quote:so, if they leave, then the problem is solved.
if you stop doing point-to-point runs, then you'll find that pirates can't catch you up
It pains me to admit that at one time, i would have agreed with this thread. q_q pirates take my money; restrict pirates to asking for 1m credits... etc etc. i used to want the system to be changed.
Pirates are pirates. The only thing is, roleplaying with one will, 3/5 times, get you shot because they think you're stalling for time. Yes, we can roleplay with them, but why bother when they shoot you? Also, not all of us know your fancy routes that aren't A to B. Don't tell us not to do our routes when we don't know any others. I've spent a few hours looking around, and the most I could find are ABC routes.
Quote:But then i changed my mind; the realisation that the thing that was broken wasn't the system, but my perception of it.
Parts of it are missing or broken, but a good portion of it is fine.
Quote:Ladies and gentlemen, there is a new mod coming soonish™. perhaps the nerfing of all these runs is deliberate? perhaps this server isn't a democracy, and perhaps your opinion is merely a feather on the scales. Perhaps you should change your mind, rather than try to change the system, and bemoan the fact that things aren't easy. As monty python says 'come and see the violence inherent in the system'; the trick is not to mind the fact that things are unfair, and then it's not so bad. It's the same for everyone. we all have the same restrictions on out cash-flows, yes, even the peeps who made their money pre 4.84, and have all the cap armours they want: they still have repair bills, and bots/bats to buy, RP cargo to restock, CM/CD to buy, etc.
Oh wow, what a kicker.
One of my friends loaded up in 4.84, he still has over 10 billion to his name. In cash. Restocking is hardly the change he would find in his dryer after a wash. And no, the community is not a democracy, but if anyone actually cared about the happiness of the community and not just themselves, they would maybe mix it up a bit to make everyone atleast a little happier.
Quote:and there's no chance of this server running out of people who want to play it. how many times do you have to wait to get on the server in the evening/weekends?
For about thirty seconds.
I don't want a whole shift in the entire economy, but bumping up prices or reducing or adding a few, sure whatever.
