The real reason for the servers being taken down this morning...

Astronomers Just Found a Dwarf Planet Three Times As Far Away As Pluto

Sure, there're lots of bugs to be fixed. Attacking CZ enemies creating an ATF response and awarding a bounty. BGS systems gone haywire.

But the real reason for the patch, of course, is so "Far Out" can be added to the Sol system.

(IMO, calling it a dwarf planet seems premature ...maybe its inhabitants just look small because they're so far away.... [haha])

 

[Komemiute]

Maybe you joke, but how insanely cool would it be?

 

[Camisade]

Almost as cool as if the planet were made of low-temp diamonds ...that could be mined.

No, wait. That would be just silly. ...make it made of Polonium instead.

 

[Speedcuffs]

Needs to be made of cheese. Or tequila.

Bacon

Bacon

Well, cheese/wine, tequila/salt.
But yeh, I'll take the bacon.

How does that work, a planet of polonium?

"Pssst -- hey, buddy. Wanna great deal on a special kind of mining laser? It's the only thing that'll let you mine actual planets like they were asteroids..."

The bad news is that it only comes in size C5. Turreted.

Lol, i mean the half life of polonium is 138 days.. how do you maintain a planet like that.

Considering that tomorrow is the day for server maintenance. Today's shut down must be due to somebody making credits. The fun police never rest.

Oh didn't noticed THAT. Thanks for that. 500km in diameter sounds pretty impressive to me and definitly worth being added in the game

You mean like Dleriver 5606 T to somewhere 5k away for 2m or 180 T to somewhere 1 jump away for 6m ? In saying that I'm cleaning up!

 

[Bigmaec]

The real reason is the nerf of exploration income...

You'll see

Setting aside that I've never had any "evaporate" away from my material storage <g> ...I think Ben Franklin said it best: "The planet of polonium must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of griefers and gankers."

 

[ArkCovenant]

Make it of Polonium and call it Putin Alpha 4.
