' Wrote:You are in New York System. Below your ship is the blue atmosphere of Planet Manhattan. Within visible travelling distance are Newark Station of Interspace Commerce and Trenton Outpost of Universal Shipping. Also visible are three tradelane access points going WEST, SOUTH, and EAST.
> GO EAST
You enter the tradelane to go to Baltimore Shipyard. Halfway to your destination the lane is damaged. Before your vessel sits three 'Tridente' Outcast Gunships. Your ships' computer brings up names for the vessels. The names are hopy, ggggggggsssssss, and BrZrKr(RUS). You are being hailed.
> TALK
"6mil tax" is the beginning, middle and end of the transmission.
> PAY
Your credit resources are 535,671. You are unable to pay.
> NEGOTIATE
The pirates show no interest in negotiating. They begin to count down. "5, 4, 3, 2..."
> FIGHT
Your weaponry is useless against their powerful shielding, absorbing your Class 3 'Starbeam' Civilian Laser turrets' fire with no ill effect.
They return fire. ggggssss' Pulse Cannon inflicts 10000 damage to your shielding. Your ship is shieldless. BrZrKr(RUS) fires two 'Dragonfly' Blood Dragon missiles which begin to track your ship immediately.
> RUN
A cruise disruptor is fired and impacts your engines, disrupting the fusion buildup necessary for cruise speed.
> PAY
The pirates are no longer interested in communicating. Your blood is all they want now.
A missile impacts your vessel, inflicting 9000 damage to your hull. Fires break out as bulkheads collapse and fuel lines rupture. You have 700 HP left.
A missile impacts your vessel, inflicting 9000 damage to your hull. You die.

' Wrote:You're missing the entire point. More like this. Inventory has 30 Mining Machinery and 300 Uncut Diamonds.
/manufacture diamonds 300 You have successfully cut 300 units of diamonds.
Then you fly normally to Manhattan and sell them in the normal fashion.
/vote kusari Sorry, you have the wrong IFF.
/vote liberty Here are the nominees for the President of Liberty Space:
1. Chris Gretzky
2. Maire Grimsdottir
3. Alan James
/vote 3 You have voted for Alan James.
Yes, this all can be done on the forums, but it would be better to have some of it ingame.
Ok, I like some of what you're saying, not all but some of it.
the vote stuff should be on the forums.
As for manufacturing....... it should be limited to specific ships.
IE: mining ship has onboard refining capabilities, so it should be capable of creating the finished (read: worth more) product.
Howefver the transfer rate should not be 1-1
The current mining ship should have say a 3 or 4 to one ratio of refining.
prehaps add a refining ship ingmae (500-1k storage) whose job is to refine ores (or even combine items to create new ones) with a 2-1 ratio (or a fractional ratio, IE: 1.5 units of ore creates 1 unit of the item).
Also, prehaps add a guard rep/IFF way to rephax someone.
Using liberty as the example: 5+ LPI/LN/LSF guard ID/IFFd ships type in /wanted EATATJOES
after the 5th use of the wanted command, he becomes red to Liberty.
He also recives immeditly (and upon login for the next 5 logins) a message informing him of this.
The use of this command should require valid evidence posted in a msg dump.
