best programmers of guildsoftware.

I have a small sugjestion, i think to get licenses is really hard, en mayby it would be easier to buy the licenses insted.
so pilots can fly better ships better weapons and so on. cause i for one would love to fly a bigger ship, like a cruiser or freighter, if you could make those changes it would really help pilots, at least thank you for your time and im looking forward to the changes.

Thanks for the post :). We may do some rescaling of the license system in the not too distant future, to make advancement a little easier for newbies. But I don't think progression will ever be a strictly monetary thing. Hopefully it'll be more mission-driven down the line. Take care, glad you're enjoying the game.

I agree with incarnate on this one. In the slower terrestrial world we need to take written exams and practical tests to own a car ( that sucks....if old people can drive and mow people down then they should give us all free licences ). So in comparison "X" amount of space combat plus a bit of cash might "ease" the way to better licences. ( Grease moy paalms wiv silvuh... ...Hey Wait....this is a shopping list not a licence! )

Although.....I do think it should be easier to get your hands on weapons rather than ships. It's kind of hard to smuggle ships about and give them to twitchy kids .....but weapons......Well its the reason for this great nati....uh...universe to exist now isn't it?

Good luck you person with the jeepers creepers from Norway sounding name.....you will go far with a cool name like that.......just do'nt pick "like pooping" or something of that nature....That poor kid got such a teasing

If you have money but don't have licenses for the stuff you want -- visit Corvus station. They sell a "black market" equipment, eg it costs more but has less pre-requisites

maybe you should be able to buy fake licenses at corvus (for lots of cash), which would have a 'forgery rating' which is a percentage value - then each time you went to buy something requiring that license, there would be that percentage chance that the forgery would be accepted. If it wasn't accepted, you could, say, have the forgery taken away and lose standing - or get kicked from the station and temp KoS'ed :P

Could bring up some amusing situations :D
