The point is you couldn't notice the lag unless wanna follow someone or check move of NPCs or active wanna do something. Just moving around was fine from an individual point of view.

Its just ridiculous if you see all other dots on radar warping instead of moving

In Memorium for a great battle at which both happening

An alternative for me would be still decaying concrete but possibility to build it on Gamma yourself or a possibility to repair it.

I had the same problem after having severe lag, it vanished just by docking in terminal and undock again

The birthdayspark will be reward of a special assignment, you will most likely be able to finish only once per agent. It is not released up to now, if this assignment requires artefact scanning.

The scanning will be needed to find special items (beacons) that can only be undigged from earth during birthday week (according to blog)

First of all two Kains with together 4  Neuts are a bad joke, no pvpler I know would take that fit out in the fields unless they just fit because they new they need to conter shild, and even then it is bad joke, because there are quite better possibilities if you know you gonna conter shield fit.

While I never checked, I doubt, that you break a Tyrannos Energy with draining Kains, I assume you need Neuts, which requires the Kain to take a lot care of energy.
Dunno if 2 Kains have enough Akku for one skilled Tyrannos to just neut him before running out of Akku when they don't have rep or hardener running and the Tyrannos is afk. But from tankfits I have seen, I'm pretty sure you need to gimp your Kain even further to get this job with rep running by filling your legs with Akkurecharge/Extender. I mean I'm not talking about how to kill a Tyrannos who's driver is afk with a setup that requires you even to run from hostile Arkes as you would not survive them, when looking for a Kain fit to counter Tyrannos.

ECM to death is something that can happen, but can fail as using ECM is still gambling. In general a Kain can't ECM forever due to his Akku, while Tyrannos has a lot time.

There are for sure some  possibilities I haven't considered, but all in all, in the rock paper scissor where blue is the enemy of green and fears red, there is now way for blue to beat green when both driving mech and green is shielded. And I really doubt, that 2 Kains have a reasonable chance unless use that specialised fits, that will fail against most other enemies they could encounter (including some light EW bots), and even then I don't think that Tyrannos will die and Kain survive if all involved agents knew how to play.

Yeah, Kain is always the faster and can counter all shield fits by running. I accept, that retreat is sometimes the win of a battle, but I'm not playing games, when the only thing I can do is to run away whenever enemy comes in sight and you call that "balancing". Especially as long as Kain is the fastest mech but all light and assault can outrun Kain.

I'm fine with the actual bonus, just give shild a lock that prevents usage of offensive things like ECM, Demob, Drain, Weapon,... while shild is up, until 1 min after shild stop.

Than ask again if Tyrannos is still that powerful as it is since the last 12 months. It would be still powertank, but could not be offensive power while tanking.

The answer is not that clear as it seems.

If you plan to be long time miner with beeing the most effective in 3 or 4 weeks, than you should go direct to control Termis (advance robotics 1, indu bot control 5), spend as less extensions as possible now in mining cycle reduction (Extensive Mining 3) spend as less EP as possible in CPU and reactor extension to equip your termis   (e.g. mixture of Data Processing and Optimized Industrial Engineering for CPU) and put all other EP in "Accu Expansion" and "Energy Management" until your Termis is capstable running, than increase mining effciency with EP split between general and ore dependent to get the best mix (highest result if you focus on one ore first).

If you talk about most effective today, you should be better off with Argano mk2 with T4 small modules, and spend EP in Cycle Time reduction, but this will most likely hurt in 2-3 weeks.

BTW I consider it a valid idea to not getting capstable with 4 med miners in Termis, if you are close for entering Riveler, as I think in Riveler it is more easy to be capstable.

And for general cap stability there is a difference between mining ore and liquizits. You can be capstable on Titan, but experience getting instable on liquizit, just due to the fact, that on long term you recover during tile change the necessary small amount to stay stable.

I had a fieldcontainer never getting it to the ground. Sound was there, but I couldn't check for visuals as most screen was full with windows.

Edit: Issue was on Tellesis

In fact this is a very rare event, think I only had this in artefact scanning once some weeks ago, andonly once lost my field container (2 days ago). Mostly I detect container is missing after poping an NPC, but even that is only easy detectable when you do "small" group NPC fighting. When doing beacon, roams or "advanced" NPC spots, I have no time counting kills and compare that number with looted container afterwards.

Why should you be able to buy from outside the terminal? What are your beneftits and did you consider the flaws of this?

Not everything than can be implemented in game should be implemented.

I consider this chat a nice feature. When doing mining or npc farming, you can talk to each other without disturbing squad or  corp channel. It would be good to give agents the possibility to "unsubscribe" as it is a unnecessary tab sometimes.
