Given the fact the F1ing in space during combat has turned into a sort of server sport, We've set the reconnect timer to 100 seconds. That is, One Minute and Forty seconds.
That way, all those who F1 in space will remain in space for One Minute and Forty seconds instead of 20 seconds. That will allow the pursuers to kill the offender very easily, because the offender's ship will be standing still for an awful lot of time.
Pirates only have to wait 10 seconds between the hail and opening fire. That way they have one and a half minute to kill the trader had it hit F1. charging engines or running away will also give pirates the right to ignore the 10 seconds wait time and open fire immediately.
This will be added to the rules.
Use this thread to request restoration of your wiped characters. It will always take 1-2 weeks before your characters get restored, it's not an easy procedure and we always wait for more requests to be collected.
Post here:
- exact name(s) of those chars which have been deleted during the last wipe, so we can restore them
- on empty accounts - create a character named "restore_<your nickname>" (for example "restore_Nightblade"), and post it here
- on non-empty accounts - give us the name of character that exist on the account where you lost your characters
Restoring wiped characters will cost you 50 mils per account. If you don't have them on those characters (or elsewhere), don't post your request.
The level 7 shields isn't a good way to distinguish between freighters and transports. The Turanic Raiders Freighter can mount level 7 shields, as can a number of other ships that are obviously freighters and not transports (400 or less cargo hold, only fighter-level weapons, etc.).
Server will be down on thursday, 6th July 07, 10:00-14:00 GMT. I will be replacing the current motherboard with the new one which is more overclocking friendly.
I will probably have to reinstall it so it may take longer than 4 hours, patience, please...
