    OK, I just signed up.

    1. Help, all I've done is collecting some machinery in the "kind of Human" race starting point...

    2. How can I join the T-A alliance?

    You can only avoid being podded if you have NEWBIE status.

    However, the racial homes are fairly safe, as most hunters don't find it worth bothering with - they go for the more frequented sectors. However, you will find that trading and resourcing isn't too good in racial sectors, even if they are safe, because so many people stay there.

    No problem on the cash Slagger - after all, our alliance looks after it's own as it's no good for us if you're really low level and in a cheap ship! :eek:

    It was a gift, not a loan. I can't have members being poor and low level! After all, we've just reached the top 100 now! :eek: :razz:

    See, you tell me to join, I join, I am hopelessly addicted after one day, I have discovered that unlike this site the IT nerds at my company have not blocked access to it, and BAM, it is down.

    DAMMIT!!!!

    With a 1 billion credit Zallun battleship you would have a hard time doing that - even against scourge - if it was built correctly that is!

    I've just reached a cool 1.8 billion credits! I'm thinking of getting a new ship now.

    I posted this on Aozos, but it got buried, so I was wondering:

    What do you all think of this for a ship?

    I'm upgrading my ship, and after some serious thought, I've abandonned the Interceptor idea, even though it is cheaper, because it is a pure combat ship, and I won't be able to fall back on trading or resourcing if I need to.

    In light of this, I've gone for a Ranger class ship. It's got less armour/shields/Armour Integrity, and thus less defence, but it's got much better firepower, and has decent hold size and gather rate for a combat ship.

    Ranger
    -----
    5 x Cargo Hold
    2 x Main Engine
    5 x Drone Hangars
    3 x Armour Integrity
    2 x Armour Upgrade

    Cloaking Device
    Internal Repair Module
    External Resourcing Module
    Improved Processing Module
    Scanners (Racial)
    -----
    1 x Cyclone Flak Cannon
    2 x Heavy Beam Cannon
    1 x 25mm Gauss Cannon
    1 x Swarm Missile (20)
    2 x Resonance Disruptor Missile (30)
    1 x Hornet Missile (20)

    Derivian Ranger

    Speed: 10
    Manoeuvrability: 12

    Drones: 70
    Shields: 400
    Armour: 600
    Power: 200

    Damage per attack round (Min/Max)
    Drones 91/112
    Shields 837/928
    Armour 377/1226

    *Your IRM generates all the weapons power your need in combat
    *Your ship can regenerate 63 shields per combat turn
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    479,681,825 credits.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    I've also worked out the best way to get the required parts are quickly as possible:

    9339 - Ranger Ship
    9339 - Cargo Holds
    9339 - Main Engines
    9339 - Ext. Resourcing Module
    9067 - Drone Hangars
    9067 - Improved Resourcing Module
    9067 - Subspace Jump Drive
    9067 - Swarm Missiles
    9067 - Resonance Disruptor Missiles
    9067 - Hornet Missiles
    9067 - Drones
    9339 - Armour Integrity Upgrades
    9339 - Armour Upgrades
    14164 - Cloaking Device
    14164 - Int. Repair Module
    12329 - Cyclone Flak Cannon
    12094 - Heavy Beam Cannons
    12060 - 25mm Gauss Cannon

    The last 3 are military bases that will only allow highly +ve alignment players to dock (+150 to +200).

    TDZK is STILL down for maintenence. The DB server crashed with one of our last changes, and won't be up till Friday morning. We're trying to get everything in order as fast as we can, the game will be running tommorow regardless of if we finish everything or not..


    Arrrgh.
