I'm not sure this is going to have enough population to be remotely interesting:

quote:

Note: the peak population during our beta was 55 players, of which about 25 were confined to a smaller area (PvP zone). Therefore, we have been unable to optimize server performance to a larger population. We strive to improve performance over the coming weeks of live operation.

It is kind of tempting to play on a fresh server with JTL if we can get a few of us doing it and i dont have to tell people where not to put houses

In all seriousness though, Dinko if you don't want to be the "responsible guy" this time around, I'll do it. Considering I am not a developer for this project and plan to just play the game there won't be any conflict of interest for me now.

I too miss JTL. But I also miss playing my bounty hunter.....

I also have fond memories of JTL, I'd like to give that a shot again. I think they said for Stella Bellum there's a 7 character limit so you can have whatever you want, and IIRC pilot skills are trainable with other classes too so you can be a pilot bounty hunter mans. Didn't they have atmospheric flight near the end of SWG too?

Yeah I'm probably going to start a crafter first and try to make all the shiny things. Figured if we can get a medium size house up off the bat with some somewhat decent crafting stations in and some storage, that can serve as City/Guild HQ until we can actually make the right buildings so we can give you official glorious leader status. Plus we can use those decent crafting stations to then get some mining industry going rather than having to hand sample everything

Which version are you guys all playing?

What Levarris said, its a fresh server starting up so if we can get enough goons in from the start then we can probably run things economically. And in PvP too as we will be spacerich as gently caress.
Does anyone more knowledgeable with NGE if crafter made gear is still what everyone is using, or did NGE make loot drop stuff more preferable?

If the servers are getting hammered, skip straight to Tatooine. There's some thing about the tutorial area is instanced and they can only support so many instances at once, so if you go in to the tutorial and its full, you get placed into some kind of queue

Speaking of, is the Stella Bellum forums currently experiencing crippling goonterror or is there another group of "toxic elitists" that has ruffled their feathers?

I dont think anyone knows goons are playing stella, nobody has posted about it in the forums or tried to start any goonfear.

Do we know where we are setting up? Is cnet still the player hotspot? If so throwing our houses down in prep for the city as close to the main city as we can would probably do us well commercially

I was gonna do armoursmith/weaponsmith, levarris was going to do structures. I think goggles said he wanted to do domestic arts. We should probably have multiples anyway though so do what you like :p

Do I just install the new launcher in the same folder as the previously downloaded files? (I downloaded a single archive as the previous launcher didn't want to work)

Also, is Red Dwarf the live server? I'm still seeing the character I made on test before the new year, so I think I might be pointing at the wrong one. And I can log in, even though the patcher says live is up and test is offline...

Right now it sounds like their hardware has poo poo the bed:

Conskill posted:

One of the devs is currently clarifying that they do not know if it's the controller or the HDD, and if it's the HDD, yup, everything needs to be set up again from the start.

Now I'm a simple country video game player, but I don't understand why aren't they talking about just backing up from their last major revision instead? They... do backups, right?

The server hadnt quite "gone live" yet so they hadn't done a backup on it. Based on the screenshot of their server, the controller is picking up ok, so I'm pretty sure the disks are hosed and their new live server is gone so they have to get the parts replaced and rebuild it.

Why does Basilisk seem to be the red headed stepchild around here?

I dont think it is, Basilisk is where we had our biggest goon population and probably the most hilarious stories, unfortunately that was like 2-3 years ago and it has not changed much since so theres nothing new to drag goons back there.

When they had a level 1 or 2 city, we would occasionally drop harvesters on the borders of their city named stuff like "gently caress windsor, quahog rules" so as their city levelled up, or harvesters would become a part of their city and they couldnt get rid of them.

Stella Bellums source code and a prepackaged server VM got released last week so maybe something fun will happen. Levarris, you know what to do! (Which is consider running the server, then instead drink until you pass out)
