Well at least it's letting me download the client

Yeah the boot.ini one was good times. Found out how many people I worked with played that game at work when they called me to come fix their pc's lol.

Always good to have a few lemmin..err eager people download and install patches first to test drive it

If people can't tolerate taking 10-20 minutes to travel somewhere then I think the A.D.D. meds need to be increased. You could travel from most current places to most other points in that much time. What your driving and how your fit obviously plays a big part in travel time. If you don't like your heavy plated mech's speed, fit light and carry  mods in your cargo.

Lack of T4 isn't the sole reason someone would lose a fight, it's not going to tip the balance that much. Player experiance and skill make a huge difference in this game which is one of the best things it has over Eve.

When you guys come here, most of you fit T1 and some T2. Sometimes the occasional T3 frame will show up from time to time. So the guys you typically get fights with only need T1/T2 to fit equal to your roamers. No doubt you would rather those lone miners or lone inexperianced combat bots fit T4.

People need to play smarter not harder.
