People posting in global chat where they are going to meet up has been a way to find targets since I started playing.
They never learn.
I'd love to see the insanity and wholesale breakage that would ensue if CI¬G tried their hands at creating a read/write-API.Trade app, not trade api.
LittleAnt pledged for $50...that's all I'm saying. I wish I could have paid that amount to generate the sheer amount of girlie hysteria on here... Make of that what you will
"how much" he pledged is of no importance in all this. No idea why you would bring it up. Is that supposed to change anything?
And it is so easy to start up a "private" chat where you invite who you want once you've determined you want to meet up.
A blast from the past came up on SA forums.
Forget when this was done, somewhere around 2015 perhaps? Maybe someone knows.
Anyway, enjoy it.
That is some Thylbana level of cringe right there.
This is assuming that CR has a moral/ethical compass. I have come to the conclusion that you do, but he does not.
Ten pages back LittleAnt said (not the first person to say it and will not be the last) CIG is the most transparant dev. This statement is kind of stupid. I mean no offense and not trying to be juvenile, but to make that kind of statement you really have to know what all devs are doing to make the comparison. I've never felt like CIG had been particularely transparent. Not because of their lies and false PR, but because what they spill out are the same as other devs regarding their game progress, CIG just spills out a lot more of it. Thing is transparency doesn't mean, volume of information, it's accurate and unmanipulated information. For example, a transparent governernment project means the progress and tax payer's money could be accounted for and the public can check the accounts for corruption, it's the opposite of smoke and mirror.
CIG had never been very transparent, noone knows their intent, noone has any idea on what they spent their money and time doing, they say a lot but there is no way for anyone to check the accuracy of it. They have never been honest about their progress or current projects. A recent example is there had never been mentions of TOW in the roadmap prior to it's reveal or FOIP or sandworm, or any hint on how they are spending money. Don't even give me the roadmap excuse, even backers admits it's not an accurate representation of what's happening. Although backers loves to tell everyone what CIG is up to and doing as if they're in the know, I would bet their lives, they don't.
The argument that transparecy doesn't mean they have to tell you anything is just wrong. Withholding information and keeping secrets/surprise isn't transparency. Going back to goverenment exmaple, if a government agency refused to answer questions then it's not being transparent. If you use the word 'open' instead, sure CIG could claim to be the most open devs around, they sure as hell were open to suggestions and dreamcrafting. But open isn't strictly a virtual because it doesn't have the same level of implied honesty as 'tranparent'. A governemnt agency that is open to inspection sounds nice but it doesn't mean they haven't been spending two weeks prior hiding stuff they didn't want the inspectors to see. A person opening up to you doens't mean they're objective.
So TLDR: transparency isn't the volume of information but the accuracy and truthfulness of it (edit: also shuld be verifiable by third parties).
Being open is they let you see what they want you to see but being transparent is letting you see everything.
I'm talking out of my ass, can you smell it?

At this point I'm more surprised that a bunch of governments haven't contracted CIG to handle their Coronavirus briefings, given their track record.
"Here's our roadmap for how we plan to reopen the economy this
…not to mention that CI¬G's communication isn't all that voluminous any more either. The signal-to-noise ratio was always very very low when they made a lot of it, and all that has happened now is that they've cut all the signal, and only a little bit of noise out of the equation.
wait!
only 3500 credits to go find and kill someone?
no thanks.
by the way the freelancer is a ugly ship but above all has a visibility that sucks.
The legal ones go up to 10k, maybe 12. Take a couple minutes including travel time.
Freelancer may be ugly, but it is super tanky. One of the best ships for PVE combat, its what I use.
Does it punch above it's weight though?
in the next patch it surely will do that!!Does it punch above it's weight though?
Seeing as how SC ships are made from polystyrene and bubble-wrap, going by the “physics” of them being knocked around on the ground and by how they crumble when damaged, that's pretty trivial to achieve and doesn't amount to much in the way of punch…Does it punch above it's weight though?
in the "general" tab I only see Authorized Execution Warrants that pay 3500, but then I noticed that in the tab "personla" I have one with 8000.
What is the difference between general and personal? why do I have more rewarding mission in the personal tab?
Ahh...but if he'd drunk the Kool-aid and followed suit with the faithful, he'd certainly by now have pledged more...wouldn't he not?
In general, personnal missions are not so legal and can give crimestat.
You have also missions specific to each planets. And some missions appear only when you have made a bunch of others missions.
