- Sandy talks more on Karma and Seal Clubbing
- Hopefully, we can get some more detailed discussions going on this, but for now:
The initial use of a karma system, which tracks and analyses player activities, will be to provide additional in-game consequences for the following actions:- Combat logging, where players exit the game ungracefully
- Ramming at starports
- Murder crimes where there is a massive disparity between player stats/skill/ship power
- The consequences would scale over time (as a karma system tracks trends over time rather than spot instances).
- Hopefully, we can get some more detailed discussions going on this, but for now:
- Newsletter 181
- In Game Events
- Alien structures have now been found at over 300 locations!!!
- The unknown link has been found to respond to the messages (that we receive from the Alien Site) played at it
- Glows white / blue and plays a message back
- Different responses from different messages
- The response message we get from the UL has been decoded (by Clever people / Magic) to point to a system
- When we get to the system if you play the correct message to the probe it will shine a laser to a location in that system
- It looks like these locations are forming a “shell” centered on Merope (please note this URL may break at any point!!!In Game Events
- Salome’s Final Message – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTS5x…
- Community Corner
-
- Due to knowledge found in the latest dangerous book (see the most excellent interview) several player groups have decided to attack the Sirius corporation as of 6pm yesterday evening. Controversy as usual because blocking Sirius will block access to one of the most ‘grindy’ engineers in the game.
- Frontier have announced the icarus cup competition. A pvp tournament with the prize of a unique decal and bobble head.
- Shoutouts
-
- Massive thanks to all the Lavecon Volunteers and wonderful attendees, the team could not run the event without the support of the community. There will be a questionnaire sent out to find out if you had a good time and what we can do better next time. The provisional dates for Lavecon 2018 is June 8th – 10th. Lavecon 2017 was Sponsored by ED:RPG and ED Tracker!
