Of course it could be a power supply issue - I see the 570 requires 550w psu - I had similar problems with my 590 till I updated the psu

I need oil for my bot ....

In a little over 12 hours it will be:

Actually not too bad an idea  - give new starters a mech or HM in their starting corp of choice - but not the ep/extensions .... gives them something to strive for - or sell to improve their wallet at start-up.

Of course a higher purchase price is a good gambol at start-up - if it does not bring in enough response prices can be dropped or special offers made.

I really think the steam release is make or break for perp ... if all goes pear-shaped the devs no longer have the regular income from the vets, and whilst I know the devs are really motivated - how long can they put in so much effort for little return?

I know many people - players and devs place a lot of faith in the steam success - let's just hope it's not the death knell ...

Yeah - I get this too...

The foom wiki can be edited - I simply went in - registered and started editing - added updates for directional mining charges .... http://foom.electric-mayhem.org/wiki/home

I don't believe Celebro means actual rewards for logging in, but a reason the player needs to login frequently, for instance the Noralgis plantation owner that must login regularly to harvest the crop, there should be some form of penalty for not logging in - e.g. the nora doesn't get harvested and is lost as the plants die, like STeve where not logging in and filling the training queue wastes training time.

Some form of mild penalty for not logging in, whether character based, corp based or whatever, would help to drive up the on-line population - even if just amongst the subbed players.

Personally I prefer option 2 - but with the caveat that I'd limit the number of concurrent missions the squad can accept - e.g. just one or 2 concurrent missions .... this will not make it too easy to complete multiple missions... but also give the opportunity for all squad members to contribute to completing the objective ... e.g. - mine x number of y - anyone in squad can mine y to contribute to objective number x.

Yes both the stuck production jobs and the stuck prototyping jobs have been freed up and working correctly now - updated my ticket (and Nianis Caeli's ticket) accordingly.

'Upload and Show' when tile scanning  invariably causes a crash ... then the crash debug upload refuses to allow you to cancel - when complete clicking 'Ok' has no effect ....

Annoying since the first thing you need to do when you get back is tile scan - upload and show .....
