Yeah it is. And this's a small craft with 5 minute maintenance time.

That's actually fairly brilliant particularly if you've focused most of your ship purchases on Fedside and are trying to do Admiralty on a Klank. Being a Klingon admiral is a deeply sad experience, even with most of the event ships unlocked.

It is an odd thing that pubbies equate running away to stunning success against the trolls. The other day I witnessed a radio party on Risa. I was floating nearby and went AFK for quite some time. When I returned, there was no one around and, a few minutes before, I had received a message stating something to the effect of "Ha! Silly Nbreeki! Have fun trolling yourself while we're having fun on a bridge!"

That reddit thread about the ship on ESD is getting better and better. Before, he was getting downvoted and told to suck it up, now the usual suspects are uniting against the evil Dentals. One poster referenced the "suffering" of the OP during that ordeal, and when asked to point out the "suffering", said this:

quote:

I believe the "suffering" would likely come under three headings: Theft, Lack of Empathy and Lack of Consent. Theft because the usability of the item is being degraded. If a paid account, there is the removal of paid time. Paid or free, there is the removal of personal time. Empathy, because such trolling is usually done for one's own needs without consideration of the needs of others. If I found it funny to cut a telcom wire to your house, would there be really any "suffering"? After all, just twist the wires back together. And, Consent, because in a situation where folks are placed together (by choice or force), consent places the well-being of each individual on a level that promotes minimal hostilities. Very bad things have resulted from amazingly minor provocations. After all, why run a motor without lube? The friction will tear it apart far faster than if it had been given a little friction reduction.

Just some food for thought.

Also, Lootcritter is still pretty mad that someone dropped a disco ball on Qonos like three years ago and ruined his immersion.

Oh that thread has all of that. One guy compared the ship on ESD to people ERPing with minors. It's all the same to them.

On another note, Trendy's volunteer bug hunter team gets really, really territorial on the forums when other people try to give constructive advice on how to handle gameplay bugs.

What I am saying is that this statement, was incendiary and weather intended or not served no purpose other than to confuse the OP, and when it comes to determining, what is Bug, Cheat, Exploit, and or Bad Code. Confusion is something we don't really want, nor something we can afford, as it increases the amount of work needed to resolve the situation.

So Feel free to stick around if you want, but try and be helpful, and maybe leave the editorializing until after we actually figure out what the cause is?

So really, they were completely fine with my advice of "report everyone on your team to the GMs as many times as possible", but they thought I was insulting their esteemed position and lashed out.

Edit: Dental should make their own independent "bug busting" team, get matching forum sigs, and just post the shittiest advice to players.

I think it's less about the advice in general and more about the having anything to say about bugs, since it's their domain and basis of worth.

A sig full of professional Dental certification logos would do the trick. It'd really illustrate how much more qualified you are to handle the topic than some random person whose only actual demonstration of ability is that they added their name to a volunteer sign-up sheet. You can't argue with people with multiple certifications, ask any IT professional.
