Ｔｈｒｅａｄ ｆｏｒ Ｇ㏂e₨ Ⅵ：I am a man of many futures

[Bralia]

Nice, thanks guys. I'll probably keep bounty hunting and small time trading till I can afford more ships. I'm quite keen to get going since Exploration seems to have the most money.

How do you guys explore? Just jump to random systems?

Pretty much. Although, I largely ignore any star K and smaller, unless it's something exotic. K stars actually do have a decent chance of having an object of worth in them, but when they don't (and that's more often then not), it ends up being a waste of time when I could be scouting systems where even the regularly seen planet types are more worth scanning. Systems that are gold with me are F and G, they have the best potential for Earth-likes.

And always keep your eyes out for exotics like black holes, neutron stars and pretty much looks like something out of the ordinary.

Early on I would look for stars as Sol-like as possible (Sol being G2 V). At this point I'm basically just looking for anything interesting and far away, plotting a course, and going there. I check the galaxy map every so often, see if I spot anything interesting. Also, in the "View" tab of the galaxy map, I set it to map instead of realistic, then to star class. I also tell it not to show me a couple different star classes, although I don't remember exactly what they are right now. I'll post them later. Here's a general guide to how much various celestial objects are worth. Something you'll generally want to make a beeline for are neutron stars, white dwarfs, and black holes. Be EXTREMELY careful with all of those. Absolutely do not fly towards any of them. If you're not careful, they're far more dangerous than any pirate. Other things that I suspect are extremely valuable (and probably dangerous as well) are O-type stars, Wolf-Rayet stars, and carbon stars. Somewhat less valuable but probably still pretty valuable are B-type stars. One last thing—the vast, vast majority of stars are on the main sequence (the V in G2 V represents main sequence, as it will for all other stars with that numeral). Stars that aren't on the main sequence are probably more valuable than those that are.

It still doesn't seem real, Iwata's passing. I hope whoever follows after him will follow the same ideal. Fun. Something that it seems nobody cares about in games anymore. Please understand.

[Bezombia]

Please understand.

No democracy here. No freedom here.

We need to revolutionize the thread!

"Absolutely do not fly towards any of them." What do you mean by that? My own method of approach to any given object hasn't failed me yet, even I was initially scared to approach them, too. Fly at at full speed until you're 10 seconds out, then try to maintain that time-to-object until you're within scanning range. Then, I pull back to about 1:20 from target. Also, O-types, W-Rs and carbon stars are no more dangerous than any other common star, in my experience.

My own exploration tips: No matter what system you're in, take the time to scan everything within your immediate scanning range of your drop point. Easy creds, even if the system overall is bad.

And one last thing, I have another recommendation for you, Wisc. A place that I've only just completed. Sigma Orionis. Bring some reading material. And I am not . . . good god . . . not joking.

Reg-what?

You just broke rule 2.4, bro. Do you have any idea what that means? Do you have any idea what you have just done? Do you even care about the consequences of your actions anymore?
I mean maybe you're some sort of TFG nihilist, and that's okay I guess, but do not come into my thread and spread your shitty 18th-century worldviews without express written permissions. And given that this is an internet-based forum, you couldn't get written permission even if I wanted to give it to you, which I don't.
You know, it's funny you mention it, because this is exactly how the Roman Republic collapsed. Plebeians like you bringing up foreign words like "lord regent" and "walked". Julius Caesar was murdered without ever having broken Rule 2.4, but you just had to go and one-up him didn't you!?

So I'll mirror your words: Do you have any idea what thread you're in? Because if I'm reading it correctly, it looks to me like it says

I was accusing no one, milord. Just doing my duty as a responsible citizen to make sure the fun menace will never rear it's ugly head in these parts again.

Besides, I've been on a Dishonored kick these past few days and the terminology from that game is stuck in my head. Don't worry, though. I'm doing my part and sticking to the non-fun stuff (no powers, no killing, etc).

"Like" isn't in my vocabulary.

Which is why I find Facebook extremely confusing.

Not sure what brought that up, but NS threads usually don't work that way...

Actually, they usually do. NSGD is the exception, but most threads on NS have 'thread ownership', where the OP can remove anyone they don't want posting and the moderators will enforce it.


Seraven if you haven't figured it out yet, that post was a joke.

[Griffonian Order]

My tears of sadness, Blade & Soul is so overpowered, these graphics need to come out quickly.

I know RP threads and chats and the like usually do, but large A&F threads? I'm not sure.

Regardless, I doubt anyone's getting "kicked out" or whatever.

You could probably use that for hypnotizing someone.

That is the general purpose, although Blade & Soul is not in for armour's functionality, but for appearance, Jiggly boobs and butts is a +1.

Elite: Dangerous.

Also Czech from the grave to Beno:

If you want to post something funny in the Thread for Gamers, a friend told me of Beno's "NO FUN ALLOWED" shtick. You can post something like "Czech got wind of NO FUN ALLOWED and approved of it, saying that: "Ralph H. Baer did not create video games so that we could have fun. The aim of gaming was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and struggle. A gaming community must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in gaming There is no humor in gaming. There is no fun in gaming. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious. Gaming does not allow frolicking amidst game stores and is opposed to Let's Plays and video reviews. Gaming, however, allows study, training, and competition."

Can you respond to him with the following message:
"wew lad, looks like you spared no expense"

It'd be a big help thanks.
