dont leave your iss with 10 figs on the stardock....

[burbel]

Actually, I know that it's better to start with a scout marauder with 250 figs than an escape pod. Since MarkG apparently declared war, I figured I ought to back him up!

Besides, I was curious to see how far *my* alignment had gone down; until today, I had only really killed evil traders (Solarwind, Solarwind, Solarwind).

[Zealot]

Actually, I had logged on 10min before burbel destroyed my pod.

And Mark, I didn't log before because I have to share this PC with my brother! And the reason I don't wait for him to leave, is because I have a life!

Actually, anyone with 1000 experience and over can be attacked in Fed Space. And of course all reds.

[burbel]

Well, in the spirit of learning (and lots of people don't seem to know this), I read that being in an ISS or a Corporate Flagship, regardless of experience, violate the protection. Not that I have tried to attack anyone with under 1,000 exp in one of those ships, but...

Wouldn;t be suprised if an Interdictor is on that list, too.

[aeturneus]

I too have read this. I will run an experiment in my practice game (game b, for anyone who wants to test something out) and report back with the results.


----edit----
results are in... apparently, just being in an ISS doesn't allow you to be attacked. You are still fedsafe. Your alignment must be below 0 or your experience must be above 1000. I suspect that the ISS vulnerability thing may be an mbbs mode rule.

[burbel]

Wouldn't suprise me. Since it's a test server, could we try and setup a few planets to take, with different citadels, shielding, fighters, etc, and make some statistical calculations from the results? I'd be more than willing to do the boring part of collecting data (work is getting monotonous).

[aeturneus]

sure thing... I will set up some different planets in sectors 100, 101, 102 and 103.

100, the first one will be a level 5 with 1000 shields and 6000 fighters and 60,000 fuel ore. I think I will call it "foor axice"

Lets figure out how much stuff it takes to capture that planet.

[aeturneus]

Ok, the planets are in place, make sure you holoscan .

You can get money from the Grand Bank in sector 2. Just don't take it all... use what you need. There are enough credits there for everyone.

[burbel]

I'll take a stab at it tomorrow; I don't have Swath here. What is the QCannon set to? Ours was 5%/20%, IIRC, at the time.

[Solarwind]

In sector 100 I took 950 battle points damage, and in sector 101 Itook 1666 points of damage. those q-cannons are DEADLY.
