    Just tried the server out.

    I\'m mostly a single player guy, but I get board with playing in My sandbox sometimes, so I\'ve been poking around the multiplayer servers out there, and so far yours is the closest to getting the Fatboy seal of approval.

    1: Speed. Speed is good. A lot of servers don\'t realize this, and have awful low speed caps \"for netcode reasons\". This invalidates small, fast ships and makes it a real bitch to get out of a rough situation. On your server I was enjoying glorious 300 kph! Lag-free!

    2: NPC pirates. A lot of servers don\'t have these, which deprives new players of a vital source of parts and loot, and makes the game in general stale as hell. I\'m happy to report I ran into, and had a great fight against, a few dozen NPC\'c on your server.

    2a: Pirate design: You are one of the few servers who have designed their npc baddies sensibly. Other server\'s npcs are usually overpowered deathblocks that are impossible (In the usual groups of six-to-twelve) for new or small starfighter players to go up against, and are a bitch-and-a-half to fight for mid-sized craft. I had a good, challenging, but not retarded fight against a few of your pirate frigates. Good show!

    3: SPEED GOOD.

    4: no lag. Everything ran silky smooth, no problems.

    5: SPEED GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

    One little thing: I found that uploading blueprints from My local catalog wasn\'t alowed. Any chance of that being reconsidered? Sure, you\'ll get the munchkins uploading thier 20k mass wang-extension lagships, but a lot of us dig flying around in our ships, and don\'t want to go through the trouble of rebuilding them block-by-block. (My ships of choice when starting out on a new server are a little 60 mass starfighter, a 200 mass gunship, and My 4000 mass light carrier)

    In short: Good server, keep it up.

    Hi Major, thanks for good words. I have spent some time looking at the settings to make the game viable. The local blueprints is a clear oversight. It was my intent that local uploads are allowed to the server, it will be fixed this morning by 10am est.

    I\'m at work, but can RDP to my server remote from here. Look forward to seeing you in game, and we are open to ideas from the community.

    Thanks,

    Hunter

    Just had a quick spin on the server, local bp uploads working, I\'ve got My starfighter!

    Achievement unlocked: Fatboy seal of approval. (Well, actually it\'s not so much a seal as a lump of old pizza sauce, but it looks like a seal)

    Hi everyone, just a note that I have lowered friction and I have some of the guys building a warp gate. Anyone who is interested in seeing can jump over to Blackawks base and take a peek or meet up with him in game.

    Yes, We had an incident last night with a spawn killer. Myself, Blackhawk, and at least one other player were heading to spawn at our best speeds to deal with the perpetrator, but as it turns out the poor dumb so-and-so had shot at the trading guild\'s shop, and got his fudge pushed in by the trading guild\'s npc ships right before We got there.

    It\'s a public server, griefers are going to happen, but just call for help over chat, and you will find that there are plenty of friendly players who will (eventually) head to spawn and dish out some justice. There\'s often an admin monitoring the chat line as well, and they are none to fond of griefers.

    Yes, turns out we had a griefer but as in all things ppl get whats coming to them. Spawn killing in the safe zone is not allowed, anyone deliberately spawn killing will be banned permanently via ip across all of our public and private clan servers

    Would prefer turrets only, as ai is pretty accurate and drones will create more of a problem than they are worth atm.
