I had a look at your new player guide - The link need to be made BIGGER, as I took a while trying to find a white link in white text. I'm not making about <b>40,000</b> per run back to the ore trading thingie. Got myself a lv 6 hull and lv 2 arour =) It feels nice to be a noob again!

Err.
At what level engine is it economical to travel by realspace? It's a real bother having to go from sectorr 18 all the way back to 0 just to upgrade.

Anything around the 10 mark is more than good. I think at that level engine you can go quite a way in a few turns

yes, vowles had to restart the game, something to do with a corrupt database, characters should of been restored though, unless u didnt come on sinse last night, then you need to make a new one

oh yea vowles, is there any rule against making multiple characters?

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 20th, 2005, 21:00

Bah. All my work undone.

Yes, it says on signup.

shot2bits · Post by **shot2bits** » November 20th, 2005, 21:06

ok was just making sure, i guess ill have to wait to get more turns

How do you invite people to join your alliance? I've worked out most other things but not this.

Oh, and why can't I pick up colonists?

Anhamgrimmar · Post by **Anhamgrimmar** » November 20th, 2005, 23:36

you need to be at a special(:ignore:) port to get colonists. i think you've got to have a minimum of 2 colonists to have a viable planet, so if theres only 2, you cant pick em up

and my planets seem to have dissapeared, anyone seen 'misplaced optimism'?

Server got wiped and all the planets went boom.
So, find some more and populate them.

Also: I dont think alliances are up, yet.
Go to the NoVa forums and have a look around there.

err, vowles, i kinda blew up joose. and now he cant log in, help

Hi Vowles,

This game looks alot like the open source BlackNova Traders?

Are you on the dev list? Or did you remake some of it?

I Used to play BNT when it was in 0.42 - many changes since then?

Vowles · Post by **Vowles** » November 21st, 2005, 17:56

1st, There was few problems with the character restoraction but I have refined them now for if I need to wipe in the future.

2nd,Cheers Woo!

3rd,You blew him up,No ship + no espace pod = no player

4th,Aye its BNT, Hardly any changes since then, not "offical" dev but used to help, but its going to be a complete make over. I didnt wanna start my first MMO project from nothing. This will mainly be a learning game for me

.

Edit:
5th, Hehe, Forgot to set the max of team members. So in turn it was 0 meaning invite didnt work but its all fixed now.

Edit Again:
Wooo 21 November is offical "Bug Busting Game". Fixed about 10 bugs hehe.

Edit Again Again:
Hehe after news got working I found this sad story!

"Joose was killed in a tragic accident today. How heroic - captain Joose was the last member on board of his ship, when he noticed there was no escape pod left for him. May he rest in peace!"

the banking thing dosnt work. every time i deposit some money, it dissapears from my ship's balance. the next time i log in to the bank, my moneys have gone. i think i lost sommat like 200k before i realised what was happening

unless i'm being an eejit, which is a possiblilty never to be discounted

further edit: nope, its still doing it. i just deposited 1000 into my planets IGB terminal, logged out of the IGB, logged out of the game, logged back in, and like Mr Scott said: bang, and the money is gone
