Having been hunting since I started playing, I generally keep my loot. It mostly has been building up (except for costs of chugging through Mission Galactica, and acquiring all those cool new colours in Jump Suits)
I am still clinging on to the idea of making a killing with selling Composite Planks - I have a lumber Yard full of the raw materials. But as a manufacturer I truly suck
To overcome this suckyness I have set out to acquire the necessary skills & attributes.
Blueprint Comprehension seems a good target to aim for.
Now My BP Comprehension is Adept 1976points. VSE >L24 \o/
I got these by signing on as a crewmember to a MS, and repairing like mad.
The ship I chose to apply to is Varyag. I don't know why, all MS were the same to me then.
On my very first time aboard & repairing, I was chatting to a friend. "Oh Noes!!" he said, don't join them, they have a Baaad reputation". "Let me get you a berth in a Good ship"
I declined, I just prefer to find out things for myself - but I did take the time to try to wade through all the stuff posted here.
If I could quote an example to those interested. I am Australian and one of our National Sports is cricket.
Played as it should be, it is a very Zen sport. Those who know and appreciate - what could be an afternoon of high drama & excitement to those watching, to others not in the know, its an afternoon of soul destroying boredom![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So its like that with all the posts around it & about. Please people don't post long chat logs - I just don't read their boringness. All the fake news & alternative facts - I reckon I will find out stuff for myself.
And what I have found, is that unless when I log off and then everyone else puts on the wooden legs & parrots on their shoulders, crew on Varyag were decent, interesting & helpful people.
A problem with these types of games is that its not just yourself, its others & the group can set the narrative even if it is nothing you want.
My role here, seems to be set in stone, that of "Evil Minion", helping the cause of evil pirates.
Varyag seems to be the evil pirate MS working Hand in Glove with the evil pirates of NVE (despite the fact that NVE is fighting us? ) and because of this association other MS like Kronan treat us as enemies & make a point of targeting crew members.
I watched yesterday a "vigilante" from Kronan attacked a low level player who recently joined Varyag crew & was attempting to fly from MS to Arkadia - he did that twice & looted the player.
The reason for this given by another Kronan crew member (I hope to God he is not a spokesman for them) was that.
"All people who have joined Varyag's crew allow the pilots to skill up and so be more skilful & dangerous in doing their evil work (whatever TF that is - I have never seen any examples since I have been with Varyag). So such crew members must be stopped and Such players will ALWAYS be targeted and NEVER be allowed to join other MS as they may be spies"
Sense Reason & Logic are missing here - I would be interesting in hearing what some responsible player from Kronan thinks, that this is a successful strategy, or even that the player was suffering a mental breakdown & had no idea what he was saying.
Funny thing is that if all MS actually cooperated & got over these ridiculous hostilities - they could reduce the depredations of real pirates greatly .
