He was with the first Antarctic Seal Clubber Battalion.
And go easy on him. He's still traumatized by what him and his mates had to do to stay warm...

MOS stands for "Military Occupational Specialty." It's basically what your job in the military is.
ETS stands for Expiration of Terms of Service, which is when you're released from active duty, so you can either leave the military or re-enlist.
I mean starship combat, in the game, over the internet. Everyone is so literal these days.

If you are interested in the details i will talk to you on discord, but i'm not going to post all of my information on frontier forums. Isn't that against forum policy anways? My ASVAB isn't as low as you are implying.
Not sure if this is serious? It's just a game

You are confusing how Peer to Peer works with Client/Server. This cannot be repaired without taking the game down and completely reworking it, literally, from the ground up.
Which is where the problem lies with the game and people's desires for 'real' PVP. What PVP players want...cannot be provided....and I believe that Mssr. Fang pointed that out.
The devs talk a great game in their desire for PVP. However, they keep making Direct PVP more expensive for those that play it...and those that lose to it. I'm not seeing a PVP revolution occurring...
The servers already handle credits/jump distances/locations/logs of players actions/etc. Many of the peer to peer elements have already gone through a code rewrite in the past. I just don't think the average player realizes it. Why can't they handle PVP elements as well? I ran the calculations for all data stored(in a text file) for 60 modules for every player for 365 days in a year. In a text file(speaking in on-server-terms) this comes out to about 2-3gbs of data. Not really that much to keep logs about stored modules and ships. So it can be said why can't logs be kept for in-game guilds, chat systems, and many of the other things that i've already been mentioned.
As far as instancing, i'm not an expert on network code, but i believe with proper motivation there is a decent work-around for anything.

Elite is, at its core, a PVE game. The Devs like to say that PvP is a "focus", but you can sort of tell by the game's design that this wasn't really the case.
Because n/d*n+d^n-1-n
Yes I'm sorry - I denoted that both badly and incorrectly. I'll leave it up to you to figure it out anyway - you must get the general idea

People like OP are why there needs to be an official Mobius server.
Everyone is listening, because we all want the game to succeed in every way. That is, when you aren't rehashing old topics that have been discussed to death, buried, exumed, rediscussed and buried again.
Not everyone cares if you have a military background. Not everyone cares if you went to war. Not everyone cares what you think of yourself. In fact, only those within your social bubble care - the rest of the world doesn't give a mouldy fig. I'm not saying that to be mean, or to lower the value of the committment and service you made to your country ( of which I'm sure you are very proud ), I'm saying that it has no bearing on your argument here, in a video game.
There are a lot of players in this game, so you might want to back up this claim with a source or some kind of evidence ( anecdotal does not count ).
And other players don't? Their input is somehow lesser than your own?
Are you implying that PvE-centric players who have no desire for combat, or player interaction, have no heart or backbone? That makes literally no sense.
I commend you on your tenacity, but PvE-centric players ( I'm not sure why you put PVE players in quotes ) simply aren't interested in your style play.
> snipped fluff about SDC <
Being a little over-dramatic, aren't you? It's just a game, after all.
And there is literally nothing they can do about it. Oh well. C'est la vie.
.."for certain players." The addition is very important. These changes will not kill the game for everyone.
So am I, so have I. Both are utterly irrelevant and carry no weight to your point.

Likewise, changes to the PvE aspect would also bring more interest to the game.
I agree that engaging and viable PvP changes could help Elite, but one thing to remember is that Elite does not rest on whether or not PvP is a viable form of play. It never has. Elite is a PvE game, with minor-PvP interaction, not the other way around. When David Braben himself says the game is PvE, it's PvE - literally nobody else on the planet can argue that point.
We know. Dead horse and all that.
I agree. In my view, there is literally no good reason why we can't have "corporations" or "alliances" or "groups" with chat, management and tags. Plenty of games do it just fine.
Also agree.
Hopefully DB will see the validity of providing such gameplay. It will definitely introduce emergent content; for example, if two "corporations" go to war over territory, attacking each others bases, or using the economy in an attempt to financially cripple their opponent.
The original Elite set the tone for a plethora of modern day games. It's persistent universe model paved the way for games like World of Warcraft. It's open world model later became the inspiration for games like Grand Theft Auto. FDev's Elite is quite literally the father of modern open world persistence.
This is what makes Elite great; and this is what Elite: Dangerous builds off of. Elite: Dangerous is already great, but, I agree, they need to go back and spend some time fleshing out and fixing what's wrong across ALL aspects of the game. Not just PvP.
Since Private Groups and Solo exist, your threat is nothing but empty rhetoric.
You have good points, but being aggressive, making threats and speaking-down to an entire group of players who simply don't enjoy the same aspect of the game that you do is not helping you get your point across.

Here's a good discussion on the wherewithal of both systems:
Here's the Devs discussion of how E: D server system works:
In short...you are giving the server system of the game to much credit...and failing to understand how fights, matchmaking, etc. is limited by the use of Peer to Peer networking.
Even if i was actually mentally , would that make you a better person somehow? What does this even have to do with the OP?
Now you are picking on players why may or may not have capabilities you can relate to - and you give them demeaning names.
Shame on you!
I'll take a look after i eat dinner.
I'm trained in ninjutsu and I'm a christian. I can kill you both physically and spiritually (yeah, you didn't know that about christians, did you?). So now I'm going to threaten the developers of the game I love to play.
No, but seriously.. i'm not even going to waste a serious thought on this OP.

Do you constantly buzz around the Elite dangerous universe in an asp like a bee as much as you do on the forums? I would avoid blowing you up just out of annoyance.
