Awesome concept... tooling up factory lines now in hopes this gets added

RL comparisons are good when they are used to convey an idea, but fall apart when used as an arguement for a reason why something works in the game.

There really isn't anything that says that the landmark window is 'radar'. Foremost it is a tool and does not need to have any rational to the way it works; it simply provides more information than can be rationalized, but its OK because its a game.

That said your arguements for why things should be different are just fine and don't need the RL reference.

*note: RL radar does not need to be LOS btw. MIMO for wireless uses multiple antennas to reconstruct a signal from reflected surfaces; which is an adaptation from military radars.

I didn't miss the point, we were out having coffee without you.

Spending NIC and/or resources on modules is what the game is all about. You're never going to be able to sneak in and solo a POS. If a POS does not have the ability to defend itself no one is going to build one, it would be a waste of resources since a defenseless object would be destroyed 10 mins after being left alone.

Alternately, a POS should never be so powerful that it can't be destroyed by a large enough force; the size of the force being porportional to the cost of the defenses installed.

Oh, hope this doesn't sound too trolly, but ecomomic might would be the ablilty to buy a replacemnet.

POS's should have module slots just like mechs, what you put in them will determine how much offense/defense/industry you get out of it.

No, I die too quickly to recognize the mech model type... but I did see a flash of pink once.

Edit: Crush-a-bunny mech was the previous model that had a bug in the Hug strength detection module, but I though all those were recalled.

On Dec 17th, they will release the Carebear mech. It will come standard with tier 4 Hug-a-bot arms and light green fur; by farming 4,000 tier 1 kernels you will be able to change the fur to pink.

Also:

Deleting cargo will be removed from the game.
Effect of skills on the Arkhe will be limited to basic skills only and capped at level 4 (no more nav 10).
Heavy haulers will be released with a capacity of 120U (triggering a QQ heard around the world).
Players will be able to delete 1 alt at no charge, and an escalted EP fee for each addtional deletion.
There will be no ability to respec.
The range of the landmark system will increase to 1200 meters.

M2S will embrace the new Carebear mech and require all members to own and operate said mech at all times.

I have a specil text-speech module that reads all of Neoxx's posts in a sexy female voice, that way I tell the *** to shut the hell up!

(Carebare messaging service - This character does not support or recommend the useage of said module, it is presented here wholly for entertainment and recreational value)

In beta, how long did it take for the majority of industry players to out grow these kernels?

I would think that it would have to level out to the point where only new players would need these kernels, and they simply won't have the NIC to buy them if they are too expensive.

This doesn't stop billionaires being produced in the mean time, unless players simply stop buying T1 kernels.

(Carebear messaging service: Not a troll, genuinely interested if the market can correct for this or if its a real issue)

My ram useage maxes out at 1.3GB too with a single client running, I have 8GB so like you its not really an issue, but it does seem to be an odd coincidence.

I was doing transport runs last night and was in/out terminals about 30 times over 5 hours, I didn't notice any CPU increase and Ram didn't exceed 1.3GB.

Edit: But I wasn't looking for CPU Spikes while in terminals specifically, so it could have.

Incorrect. You can only be in 1 arkhe at a time, so you would need 1241421 alts docked and homed to the station to make it yours. In which case there's nothing stopping us from doing the same to your station. Which results in everyone running around each other's stations with nothing to fight.... not too exciting.

The best you can do is 'harass' a station with a single arhke homed, which we've already seen done. In general that person usually gets bored with it after a while; and when we deploy a single Termis with remote repp at the station, we don't even bother shooting said arkhe which runs out of ammo and is then totally worthless until you run off and suicide.

As for the rest of the arguement about actually using Arkhe's and thier OPness, I don't really care, now that I have enough EP and NIC to get and insure other bots, screw the newbs (<--- Sarcastic Trolling again because everyone keeps suggesting that the Devs put MORE controls on the game to handle crap that we can deal with internally, let them deal with things that are really broken, adding more content and features).

For modules its not an issue as the run size is 1 unit, but if they add named ammo to the game you'll need a full production run worth of the item to create a CT. For example you need to have 1000 missiles and the decoder to create (1) CT. When you prototype ammo, you do get a full production run output, just don't use any of them

Btw... Wet paint is wet, just saying.
