I haven't done the PK medals yet. Each of the medal sets will be reworked individually. For instance, PKs might be expanded more into different types, Dueling-specific awards will hopefully be added, and so on. We'll see.. haven't gotten there yet.

So it will show I prefer getting my kills by shooting miners and traders? Wooo!

Anyway, you guys had many reports of either a) being able to undock with no battery, or b) The station eating the battery as you undock? Kinda funny and kinda like getting a dead battery, unable to thrust, shoot energy, or thrust, just float at undocking speed, and I think if every 100th battery sold from a Corvus station did this, it could be kinda cool! Ooops, thats for suggestions huh?

Wait, this is something that's happening in-game? Or is this an idea? If that's happening, well, uhh, we should fix that.

I had it happen to me once or twice. Logging off and on fixes it, but oddly, not warping.

As far as Ribbons go... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGaqI20WHyk

How would you be able to warp if you can't fly?

Launching infrequently has a timing problem which causes you to drift for a short while, but it should resync after no more than 20 seconds. How long did you let yourself drift before logging off?

It let me fly, but locked into one vector and only at the undocking speed. So I could eventually reach 3,000 meters and then hit enter to warp, where I experienced the same issue. I let it drift three to four minutes... Hmmm... 3000/20ish... Yeah, about 2 to three minutes. This was about a year ago though. Just thought it might be related to his issue.

Yeah, this happened to me yesterday, have tried to recreate the issue with no luck though... I got Mystic to try push me back towards the station, but although I could turn, even she didnt seem to be able to make me chane trajectory, musta been like, 10 mins I was floating, I didnt think to log, a simple /explode fixed it for me :)

I like the new ribbons , and look forward to there being more available for different activities. The idea that only the top ribbon or medal is displayed makes a lot of sense in that case.

Had a mess about with swarms , much smoother graphically now.

So, I'd assume you haven't put rewards in for the queen medals yet?

Aside from mega positrons for the first 10 queens, that is.
Mar 18, 2007 raybondo link
yoda: oh so you can rotate? ok.

zamzx zik: no rewards other than the ribbons right now.

If you do find what is causing this bug though, you should really consider the *every 100 bats sold from corvus* idea, it really was like having a flat battery ;)
Mar 18, 2007 greengeek link
Corvus selling "factory second" gear is an interesting idea. Not sure that it should be quite as drastic as a dead battery that prevents you from controlling your ship like that. It'd be funny to see weird glitches with the black market stuff. Behemoths with drafty cargo doors that leak cargo? Maybe a Vulture mk2 that occasionally has a wing fall off?

yes inc and ray, you guys need to add a failure factor or something like that. Universe is waaaaaaaaaaaay to predictable. I am including the wh exist likelyhood of forexample not coming out in odia but then in 1 in 100 chance to pop out deep in serco space. Kinda lika ion storms hehe...

Serco space isnt that bad :P

How about 1 out of 100 times you pop out the same way you went in. How far would you go before you noticed?

I'd just think I was drunk and forgot to warp or something. That WOULD be funny, especially during the Deneb Run.
Mar 20, 2007 moldyman link
I like Mynt's idea!
Mar 20, 2007 Syylk link
That WOULD be funny, especially during the Deneb Run.

Considering the 30 seconds wormhole timeout, it'd be funny only if happens to others, in pirate camped wh's.
Mar 20, 2007 moldyman link
Well, someone has to take the blows in slapstick XD

I'm kinda hopin' it'll even out my odds against Kat, Mick & BlueStreak :)
