Seriously. We're very much post scarcity and one of the richest factions on the server. People may come and go but their autominers stay.

I'd love to poo poo it up with you guys if only I had access to steady internet without tethering. However; I will be able to join on the weekends as I'll have internets then.

5.1 claims to have fixed damage going through blocks...I am guessing lagshots are still going to be an issue?

You guys still active? I've been on the HWS server for a few days now trying to get a group together to take on pluto that's owned by a "pirate alliance", but most of everyone i find are carebears or play for 5 minutes and log.

So i need a new fam that actually wants to go out and PVP. I'm on discord as Pratt.

I've haven't been playing for two weeks but my group talked about picking up again over the weekend. We're using the map goons discord but you can contact me as Demiurge#3145. We were 3 last time and we managed to get a decent Base ship up in a few days.

We're still active. Down to maybe 5-6 people.

Hop on Discord and ask for an auth and we can get you in faction tonight.

There is really no reason not to join us, as even with our low numbers our resource production is absurd.

5.1 is live - but last night was a wash as it seems to have introduced an issue with warping where it was taking several tries to change playfields but consumed pentax every single time. Wasn't an issue for us but the pubbies stayed home.

Ore in space besides sathium is part of the playfield - so it would need to be regenerated. In other words - new game.

No wonder I'm not seeing anything other than Sathium...
Any possible way to port over all my nice things to a new game?

I restarted on Omnicron and saw only Sathium and Neodynimium. Should I travel to Akua for hot space mining action?

Can anyone recommend some good ships for sieging POIs?

Well if you want to bullshit it - build an HV that is a giant tower with 1 arty turret up top and the core in the very bottom. Hold down O as you drive it up to the POI so that the core is covered by terrain, any tiny hill will do.

Laugh as the arty kills everyhthing without being shot back.

I need to see this in the shape of a giant purple dong, at some point.

Hey, I have sort of an odd question: I play empyrion with a group of 4 or 5 friends, several of whom are goons. They've finally come to the conclusion that this game is pointless without pvp, and we're in the process of getting started on HWS. Can we join up, despite having a few non-goons among us?

Join the Discord server in the OP. Most of the communication happens via that. Friends of goons are friends.

We are dead.

At least until PvP lag and lagshots are fixed - maybe in 7.0 - so maybe by the summer.

I won't be able to get onto the game or discord for another 5 hours or so, but I just started establishing myself on the freelancer start planet. If you've managed to sort out your fuel problems I'd appreciate a lift. If not it's fine, gonna work on getting a warp capable CV so I can head to goon base.

Speaking of which, sent a request to join the faction. Steam name is Febel. I'd appreciate being allowed to join so I don't get my poo poo wrecked by goon faction turrets once I make my way there.

I know the main group is dead, but am I reading right that a few people are still playing? Got any room? I was in too much of an Empyrion/similar game mood to wait for the next big release, so I puttered arounda bunch this weekend, basically spent as much time as I can stomach in the starter system, but wanna join a faction or something rather than be solo once I'm in PVP areas. For better or worse.

Also I think the factions now allow people from multiple origins on the server but I dunno.

Sent you a message regarding the first part. On the second part i'm not certain, since I've only been on the server a few days, but I'm pretty sure the main 3 are locked into their respective origins when it comes to joining, but freelancers are able to join any faction. I originally started as a freelancer and was able to request to join any, regardless of origin, until I saw a post on here that said you had to be pirate to join LBP. Reset my character to pirate and now I'm locked into them.

Haha, Febel? I think I saw you say you were leaving pirate starter last night. I moved my stuff into orbit last night but haven't warped out of the system. Aside: Man yeah I didn't expect a 'cheap' starter CV from the workshop to be good but drat if I didn't pick a dumb one.

I feel like an idiot saying this but I have no idea where you sent me a message? (Steam/Discord/Here/what). I didn't have a PMs on SA, but I didn't have a platinum account.

edit: in any case, I'm at work so won't be in-game until this evening at least.
