Ofc it wasn't a good "Community Project", that's why I put it in "Off-Topic". And whining lines included:

"you're going to have the devs actually make a key for us for the first time in VO history"

and

"Ya know westie, this game was great before you came, it will be great if you leave too"

Right... so I locked your thread and started a new, unrelated one in the same forum...

It doesn't really matter what forum your thread went under; I don't think a thread to collectively aggregate in-game comments to be painted with a broad brush labeled "whining" is a good idea, period. There is already a "Funny Quotes" thread in the General forum. Perhaps the selected quote(s) could go there? (Loud complaints can be funny in some circumstances... especially if tempered by counterpoint; I just think the thread you began would have attracted more negativity than you intended).

For what it's worth, I didn't read either of those quotes in the way I think you're intending to have them taken. You could easily substitute "Phaserlight" in the second quote, and it would still hold true. It's also unclear who the player you are quoting was addressing: is someone in the screen cap your alt?

None of the above is really important... and I'd rather not have to defend my actions when I am acting on what I feel is the best interest of the community. Every administrative action I take is logged and redundantly self-reported. If you have a problem with what I did, feel free to email John or one of the other devs about it.

I sense a severe lack of willingness to allow this game to actually be "Vendetta". Vendetta's are negative.

And Espionage was talking to BluBludMun, my alt. I had just defeated him, DeepSpaceOne and mr_spuck in his Trident in a Latos i8 battle and he was whining about it.

West, your post was pathetic. Get over it.

The only thing pathetic about it was how whiny Espionage was and how excited I was for kicking his [mod edit] so thoroughly.

Which test aircraft is that? New forays into space plane research?

It's a UFO, man

I'm not sure, but it looks an awful lot like our new Vulture. I wonder if Curt or one of the devs is moonlighting over at Goddard or Langley.

edit: more info here.

I don't think it looks all that much like the new vulture model. Definitely looks space worthy though.
