As an AI ship belonging to Serco... Don't you read In Progress? The thing about Serco's not up there now, but it was from December until last week.

I really like the idea of a nation-wide group mission to collect materials required to build a cap ship as this would make trading/mining more important. Also, providing a secure environment for those activities would be essential.

Secure Enviornment? What do you mean by that, that there should be no danger involved in the collection, depositing or the construction of the cap ships?

it would really put more emphesis on team work, which is something that I've found lacking. It would be really cool if people had to depend on miners, perhaps even use teamwork to disrupt the miners of the opposing team. But then the safty of the noobs comes into play, if miners are targeted too often, the busses will suffer.

johnhawl218: by secure environment I understand sector(s) where miners can work without bots interrupting and enemy incursions (which means escorts).

so basically you want it to be free, without any work involved other then the time it takes to procure the resources. Personally if the danger isn't there like others have said, what's the point. Besides, it's not that hard now to mine stuff without getting killed, even IN sectors with bots. Just got to know how.

he wants people to be forced to defend people, thats hardly free, take a chill why down you? he wants the enemy to harass the miners, which means YOU need to create a safe environment, else you'll have no cap ships.

<edit>

The idea is that you need to get x resourses, wow, if you want to have danger while there mining then go attack them. stop exoecting that every sector in space has to be hard. this is a MMORPG for: Masive multiplayer online role playing game.

not NSGFPORPG: Noob smashing game for pros only role playing game

so it won't be that hard to get 3,000 premum carbonic ore. wait have you ever tried gettting 3,000?

i worked on it. in 30 min i got only 200 PCO and i heated all the roids i mined to 100+ and this is mining with an atlas.

<edit>

if you wanted a challange and a fun thing to get cap ships into space so that the serco miners and traders and the bot hunters have something to do when they are bored. then vote = Yes on this.

if you want the cap ship to just respan in 10 min no mater what or how many serco's are online the fine, make it even easyer for the serco to get the cap ship. what do i care, i'm serco, give me free cap ships.

Well I think you have completely missunderstood me, I AM for your idea, I AM for making the game easier for noobs to play and yet still retain something interesting for the vets and for those who reach the half way mark for levels.

If you have a problem with me then let me know, email me your personal rants if you like. Making a post specifically targeted at me seems a bit childesh but hey, if it makes you feel better go for it.

Perhaps I misunderstood what was said, I simply ment that it's already easy to mine, we didn't need to make it any easier. You can currently mine all ores 80% of the time with no bot interferance. I just didn't want to make a zone where they simply handed you the roids you needed to construct the cap ship, which is what I thought they ment. Please relax!! I LIKE YOUR IDEA!!!

I may come off as a bit arrogent some times, or a bit harsh about the way the game is progressing and some of that is me needing to relax a bit, but at the same time, it's very frustrating to be able to advance realitively fast and then have nothing to do in such a awesome game. And at times its also frustrating to know that while it's such a great game, I'm still basically PAYING for the devs to develope a game. DEVELOPE!! Most other game you simply get updates for NEW content or things that need tweaking. Guild is stil trying to get the game to function correctly and get the basic content correct.

Flame me all you want. But try and keep it in General not Suggestions as that's where it should be.
