Hello, guys! So I have a question. I returned to the server after a while and learned that Coalition indie ID now allows to fly cruisers so I bought a "Typhoon" Destroyer. SCRA ID allows to fly "Battleships" (sic). Later on I learned that a Coalition Battlecruiser "Hurricane" was added to the game with the patch 4.89.1. However, neither Coalition indie ID, nor SCRA ID specifies rules for battlecruisers. Technically, in the "Capital ships" section on Discovery Wiki Portal BC are treated as cruisers while carriers and dreadnoughts are considered "battleships". So my question is whether I can fly this shiny battlecruiser with Coalition Indie ID?
My purpose is PvE mostly, since I reside in Tokyo atm and with ping over 300 the PvP is nearly impossible. Yet I love spending a few hours a week flying a big ship and doing missions.
Thanks for the reply in advance!

Hi,

Battlecruisers are categorised as cruisers as per this post. If an ID says it can fly cruisers, it can also fly battlecruisers.

Have fun.

Hey guys!
I'm a new player. Can you help me?

Me and my friend want to play as bounty hunters, collecting rewards for criminals and other stuff like that... Sounds fairly fun to me.

Question: Is it okay if we want to fly in group, making life for criminals x2 times harder? How do we then collect bounties?
When collecting bounty, is it okay if we just make a single post specifying both characters in "where the money is going" section? I assume in that case money splits between group members. Correct?

Regarding the flights in the group: if you are good players, then a bad life for the pirate is provided. If you are simple newcomers, then you do not pose a threat to an experienced player, and then it will be bad for you.

Regarding the division of the award - according to your desire. I'm helping one of my friends to kill bad guys when he plays Bounty Hunter. He does not share with me (in other matters, I do not ask ).

If you want to receive payment for your work, then apply here (for example): https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=64109 . Each state has its Bounty board, you have to look for the one you want.

Once you have registered there (you will be answered in the same section where you applied), you can start hunting and getting money. All information here - https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=64110

Hey there, I have another question

Me and my friend managed to build a POB in bering. For the last two days our POB gets damaged constantly during night, taking all reinforced alloy to repair itself.
We're almost sure it's not a player's doing, because the shield is online and no fuel wasted. Crew, water, oxygen and food supplies are also ok.

what it might be

Why is Rheinland Military Guard an Enemy?

Is this a bug?

Thank you

Hello! The Rheinland Military Guard is one of many factions that still have a "Guard" faction. In years past, each faction had what was known as a "Guard System" - A place where any member of that specific faction could go to buy their own best equipment and train with fellow faction members without fear of being jumped by opposing forces. In these Guard Systems were numerous, dangerous NPCs with the Guard IFF that corresponded with the system's owner. These NPCs were typically swarms of fighters with ridiculous amounts of armor and firepower not available to players; even a battleship could be brought down by the sheer number of NPCs shooting at you.

These Guard Factions were, nine times out of ten, hostile to non-faction members, even to those who had the standard faction set to friendly. For example, in your case, you may have Rheinland Military set as neutral, or even friendly, but the Guard-version of the RM is hostile because it is intended to be.

These days, Guard Systems as a whole are out of the game, since anyone can /conn, and there were a few cool RP assets in Guard Systems that very few people got to see. A lot of these assets were re-distributed into public systems once Guard Systems were removed. A few bases still use the Guard version of a faction to protect "highly restricted" areas, such as maximum security prison stations or top-secret research facilities. Some players who use the Guard IFF/tag instead of the normal IFF do so for prestigious reasons.

Hope that helps!

Greetings,

As a new player all those server system/faction rules are a bit overwhelming and confusing.
i did read in the forums in laws of Liberty section this:


Improper passenger conditions.

This is defined as the crowding of people into a ship not designed for such tasks. Transporting more than 650 passengers, VIPs, delegates, or any other classification of people in any ship not listed here is to be considered unlawful. Officers may demand that said people be disembarked at the nearest station or transferred to their own vessel as well as demand a fine.

Liners and Yachts (minus the "Pilgrim" liner which is deemed improper for this task) and Armored Transports are exempt from the passenger limit regulations as they are designed for human transportation.

Question 1:
Does the above mean that if i,a freelancer,fly a serenity transport (cargo 3600) i can only transport 650 passengers in Liberty?

Question 2:
Fighters,freighters ,gunboats and transports are allowed for a freelancer (up to 3600 cargo).
Is a freelancer allowed to fly a prison/luxury Liner ship?

Thx for any answers in advance and sorry if 1 of those questions is already answered somewhere before.

[DarkTails]

Indeed the law does mean a Serenity can only carry 650 passengers or else you may risk getting stopped by law enforcement.

There are a couple Liners available to Freelancers that can transport human cargo, such as the Democritus civilian yacht, Palace Bretonia Liner, and the Oasis Passenger/Prison liner.
