If it's the HoB group I'm thinking of buzzing around in Ker'rat with you, then one of them was still using that stupid destabilized torp for some reason - he tends to accidentally blow himself during borg FaW cycles pretty often. You'll just be flying around and all of a sudden there's a pretty red explosion halfway across the map and some dude raging in chat about unbalanced fed ships.

He has never answered when I've asked him why he upgraded that ship :v:

Because Minimax is his spirit animal.

I mean man, those devs have really gone above and beyond to have FIFTY. Really breaking the bank there.

If I had twitter I'd actually tweet for a whip, if.

Dumb question - can fed aligned rommies wear the vaadwaur officer's uniform stuff? Not aligned yet and tried to redeem one I had in my account bank but got shouted at by the game and it wouldn't let me.

Once you align you should be able to.

Most outfits from the lobi store (like the Vaadwaur Uniform) can be worn by any faction. If you're playing Fed, the only ones that I know of that won't work are the Warrior Skirt and Korath Uniform, which are KDF only.

I still remember when those whips came out and the ground death combo was to stun someone with a whip and swap to your cryo pulsewave and shotgun them to death in the face until killed.

Also the cryptic giveaway is absolutely pathetic.

At which point Cryptic realized that the pubbies in question wouldn't be embarrassing themselves to their entire social circle because odds are a lot of the ERPists have no social circle. At best, it's a line.

Lot of stuff is outdated but macros and poo poo is still relevant. Ask in the goonchat for a general feel of what's what.

Although the wiki is outdated a lot of the stuff there is still perfectly workable and will outdeeps the vast majority of pubs. Of course most shuttles will also manage this so that's not saying much.

Today I logged in (that was my first mistake) and saw this outside Spacedock. The guy took about 45 mins to post all this and in all that time nobody responded to him. He was just screaming his white supremacist garbage into the empty void.

quote:

Skinhead@askell500: anti-racist are normaly anti-white race.

Skinhead@askell500: Some perfere to use pro-white or white racial loyalist.

Skinhead@askell500: to describe there stance.

Skinhead@askell500: For a while i though being racist was degrading people race or ethnic group, ethnic sluring somone.

Skinhead@askell500: but the word racist is clearly a product of race and has to do with race.

Skinhead@askell500: and many people disagree with the definaions

Skinhead@askell500: its clearly a word that can be used for almost anything.

Skinhead@askell500: or changed in the name of poltics.

Skinhead@askell500: and what is racist seem to depend on the region and culture.

Skinhead@askell500: and idealgy.

Skinhead@askell500: some places it is not racist unless it is to do with hate.

Skinhead@askell500: you have to hate the other races to be a racist.

Skinhead@askell500: no universal defination

*He'd gone silent for about 10 mins so I went off to do a fleet alert*

Skinhead@askell500: you are flying with racist tech

Skinhead@askell500: even the inventor of the car was a racist

Skinhead@askell500: all cars are racist

Skinhead@askell500: most of the world tech could be racist.

He'd gone silent for another 10 mins or so, so I went to do a CCA and when I came back he was gone.

So I decided to look up his bio on the Gateway

Again, if memory serves.

Saint Olivia is the one that tried to popularize the term "trollgate", sent letters to the CEO of Cryptic and allegedly harassed members of the dev team on Twitter so they ended up blocked.

I revisited their website and it seems like if you click on Olivia's handle in the comments section, you're taken to a blog with the tagline "games for adults" filled with pornography. Not sure if that's a new thing, but there you go.

Olivia also tried to frame the whole "trollgate" nonsense around the narrative of a woman (olivia) being harassed by male gamers (Dental). He also frequently posted a picture of a random college girl and tried to pass it off as "hers" until we found out the picture was taken from a random facebook page. When confronted with this, he denied everything but removed the picture as his forums avatar and from some of the website pages. He actually writes and self-publishes romance ebooks, I believe.
