Let me guess ... you don't want auto pilot either?

Wow, you think that 1st post you quoted was an insult?  How?  You forgetting something?  We all do.

Now, if you recall what you typed before my 'Now you're just getting beyond stupid.' comment ... you mentioned botting and I shouldn't be there in the 1st place. 

When you dc autopilot stops and all modules quit working (as far as I am aware about the latter), now, if I was auto piloting back to the station with hostile enemies in tow (for a level 2 assignment) ... I drop and the Mech just shuts down and degrags its memory or something.  All the while the hostiles are incoming, closing that 350m + gap fast. 

Before you are able to log in, you explode, you're sitting in the station when you re-enter the game. 

What happened and where did it happen?  Well, I guess I shouldn't be checking the forums with auto pilot on or getting a drink, or taking the dog out.  However, you cannot stop a dc.  It's just about assisting the player to recover something from an uncontrollable incident. 

Even with a petition, if someone loots the can ... your screwed.  You do not receive the looted items back.  That would lead to exploits.  I for one am quite grateful that the GM's care enough to reimburse us, becaue they could just say 'bugger off, its not on our end'. 

You see.  You guys may disagree with the idea, thats fine.  Lets not be ridiculous and throw mud.  This isn't worth hostilities, insults or anger. 

I thought it was a great idea.  I never thought i'd get any reaction like that. 

Be safe Ville.  Kill some Observers for me.

Oh, that does sound enjoyable Syndic. 

Now you're just getting beyond stupid.

So, you come to gripe about wanting a marker?  If you don't want it, then don't use it.  Better yet, don't use your gps or any type of navigational assistance irl either. 

If we have black box's on airplanes and tracking devices on vehicles.  It makes sense that we'd have a beacon for our destroyed Mech. 

Would you like to toss out more incoherent complaining?

I was only referring to Mech pieces, not equipment

However, i'll run with that thought.

Maybe the pieces required would be multiplicative (x5)?  So, a t1 would require ... 1,000, a t2 would require 5,000 a t3 would require 25,000 and a t4 would require 125,000 scraps.

It would give more trade and industry items.  I guess the idea is kinda lacking.  Just wanted it out there. 

Thanks for posting mate.

I am happy to see positive remarks.  However, I am unable to understand why a beneficial idea such as this is getting a "-1" from Scyylla ... if you explode ... you don't think it would be nice to recover some of your equipment?

Perhaps then, you can recover it and donate it to a local newbie if you really don't want it.  Sure beats it expiring to the void of nothingness.  That way you are helping someone out willingly.  It'd show good character.

Btw, I LOVE XP!  I loathe the garbage that came out after ... can we say tablet windows for desktops (garbage 8)?

Oaisd, you rock.  I used to play my Perp on XP, was fantastic!

Though I will say ... I had some crashes on mine, but it was beta girlfriend.  You might want to try windows 7.  Just saying.

The problem is, I have done calculations on other extensions prior to leveling them and they give a bonus = to the exact % stated, which means ... its a % based off the amount showing, not the base amount.

So, if they are doing base % for some, why not all?  Better yet ... why not remove the base % calculations and do it based off the current amount?

Off the top of my head I do not recall the extensions which utilize the different equations, however, it would be beneficial to the players of Perpetuum to have a non-based value calculation.  Please let us have this.
