Lets test this persistent universe and see if FD are true to their word.

I suspect all that stuff is all very basic right now and will remain so until all the bugs are weeded out of the system. I imagine this game at present is like a big ball of knotted fishing line. It works mostly but there are LOTS of problems. When they kill most of those bugs they can start making it more complex. The problem with complex is once it starts giving you issues it becomes very hard to find the problems and fix it. I would prefer they just got what they have right first.

This whole landing on planets thing sounds nice but it would make more sense to add depth to what we already have. Unless of course landing on planets aids my mining opperation idea as mentioned above

Yeah I suppose you should wait a bit to attempt these forms of 'meta gaming'; that is until FD locks in some mechanics to support it....

Afraid not. We will continue. Otherwise I would have little reason to play the game.

So I have been following this and helping In open play. But one suggestion can we change the yellow text? Hard to see on the white background =p

And the blue text is hard to read on a black background!

'Fraid I have to agree with this one: best to stick to bold to emphasise your posts, orfeboy, otherwise either black or white background users are going to find it hard to read! Or maybe create an "IMPORTANT" banner graphic to include in your post so that it's easy to spot?

Concening the BOOM stage. We have that in LFT 133 for a few days now and I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like the number of ships that are coming to the dock here increased significantly. There are tons of large trader NPCs and other ships. I might be wrong, but I see an increase in NPC activity. - Other than that... the prices tend to be pretty stable. (at least for the goods i'm trading)

I very much disagree. How are they supposed to test its effects if we do not do anything. I think they are going to add ships. Maybe I should just not play until they do?
This type of logic is circular.

This is a very big thread and the idea was that the different coloured text would allow people to follow the updates easily as they scroll through it. Is there another colour that would make everyone happy?

I think one time you tried a mid blue, which struck me as maybe least-worst?

Sorry, I am actually colourblind believe it or not. How about bold and mid blue?


Mid Blue!

or as we say in Lugh...

Nó, más fear leat as Geailge é in ionaid? - Gorm!

Mid Blue!

The standard blue is a bit dark on the black background, so I went into More Colours and selected the 6th down 3rd across, the middle of the blues. I know that's a bit of a pain to do though...

 

[rdizz]

Blue works

Well except on black backgrounds. Maybe a Red will work for all? Bold dark red.

Like this??

This thread is getting crazy

I think that is a called becoming racist

You're all a bunch of 'colourists'!

From what ive seen the basic stuff is actually being expanded quitely, ive noticed new missins coming for example from the medical officer on a space station in mikunn for agri medicaines, as opposed to the faction, there arent any close but im tempted to travel a bit to complete that mission and see what it does doesnt pop up often either.

Here are my guesses about that :

hey guys,

I've just found something :

I was @Prunariu Orbital when I saw this mission :

As you can see, this mission has no faction associated. It's directly related to the station.
Of course, I took it and here is the result :

Here, we can see that the benefits are for CSG.
So my guess is that the results of the missions could be related to the faction you're allied with.
This could explain why, sometimes, results are a bit weird.
My second guess is that the effects are not faction related but station related. (The mission was about delivering medecine to stop the outbreak)


EDIT : Saw an interesting mission too (it was requested by LFE)

 

[orfeboy]

Here are my guesses about that :

I've been getting those missions for a while now. Still the first one is interesting as you say. I have been saying for a while that missions influence is actually centred around the station in question. this explains why you get a 1% rise. Each stations overall influence is combined with the others in the system and an average is what you see in the system view and right hand panel.

Yeah, that's an "old" post I wrote in gamesbreaker

 

[orfeboy]

OK guys, so we are at 59.4%. I am betting we can push it over 60% tonight. Get out there and push it!

Lugh for Equality is now where we were when they beat us back to 37% before Christmas. Revenge is sweet. Now lets stick the knife in and make them pay...

Victory to Lugh of the Long Arm!

Lugh Lámhfhada abú!

 

[Brindarm]

I shall be on tonight and try to do a few more missions than I managed last night! See you all later!

BTW, re colours for important messaged on this thread: I think you should alternate each letter in the message between green, red, green, red etc... Then, we can put on the old fashioned 3D glasses and the important message should jump out of the screen at us!

Or maybe not...
