Oh yes it is. There are entire websites devoted to this fine art as well, and if nothing else, the sheer volume of content would render the effort of faking it nearly impossible to all but the most insistent of skeptics.

Just as you would be surprised what people are willing to do for the sake of sheer stupidity, you would be surprised what people will also do for the sake of naked greed.

I understand your skepticism, but it's all very real. Every time I start a new bait I up the ante a bit with the app and the photos and think to myself "they're never going to fall for this poo poo this time", but more often than not, they do. Some lads do refuse, but generally after they've invested a week or two talking to COCK, their rear end is mine.

Pretty much bang on. I tend to go into more detail than the lads ever do but that's only because I find the more groundwork I lay down beforehand the easier the bait is. Aside from the apps, there is a fully detailed website for the church and a cast of 2 dozen or so characters that the lad interacts with.

Probably nothing excited.

the Banner is Green, it has New Romulus on it, and the title text is Green.

I'm guessing KDF specific PvP improvements.

There's no point to it anymore. Nothing you can craft will be any better than what you get out of the rep/fleet stores. They've been saying they're gonna revamp it for a few years now, so who knows when that'll happen.

The best part is that due to the massive cultural disconnect, the idea that anyone would take that much time and effort to troll him would be inconceivable in his mind. What has happened would be such a foreign concept to him I bet.

This is truly some meta stuff, and I sincerely bow before it, as well as the effort put into it. The documents are sublime to behold. Thanks again LordCo.

If they doubled the daily marks package to 110, and then further doulbed on the weekend to 220 that'd be crazy.

Doubt they did though.

Well, it's not too bad now. Azure Nebula's up to 50-60 now, which puts it more on par with other mark-granting missions, especially considering it's piss-easy. Add that to the daily mark box and that's 100+ for relatively little effort. Also makes the ground missions almost worth doing too. Epohh's are still easier/faster, but at least they won't be the only way to grind this poo poo now.

Those new romulus ground patrols are a waste of time at 10 marks. With them being at 40 all weekend they'll be easy marks for anyone who needs a bunch in a hurry. They're quick and easy they just have a 20 hour cooldown. If you're not trying to get a gear project filled right away epochs/daily marks bonus is still the easy way to grind rommie rep though.

I heard this game has gotten better since when I originally tried it and couldn't even get through the tutorial before uninstalling. Figured I'll give it a shot. I've made a derpy looking alien with the Romulans and plan on going KDF because why not.
