Laan's now Active on our KOS list.

He started a timer on a Moon base, but lacked the AP to engage the Corporate Defender in a timely way   oops
1st Consul installed a MAU-D, turned everything else off, and swatted him for only 2-AP   Flush

Since Laan's the NCE Leader, a vote for Limited War on NCE's now making its way through SPQNR's Senate.  If it's approved, and other NCE members haven't already decided to join in the fun on their own, they'll have 24-hours from our Forum Declaration to ditch NCE or be hunted as well.

Maybe offer to sell them for say 515-diamonds each through GCA = $901,250?  That's nearly a 10% discount on what it would cost to buy them directly (= 20AP = $1m), so someone's (not me ;-) likely to take you up on it, especially if you're selling more than a couple.

Wonder why the issue/concern/opportunity isn't spelled out in a Forum post, along with an invitation to PM to discuss?
fwiw, SPQNR didn't receive such a Join Request, though SEC did.  So it may be one of our (SPQNR's) formers or seldoms?
49  Caffe / Whatever / Re: GCA Build Requests on: May 15, 2018, 08:04:33 PM
QPs sent.

Just donate them to the GCA.  1


!!

Raphael's Donation gives GCA well over 300 Storage mods (and GCA only has 3-ships)   laugh

(ed) Say "Hello" to "Closet" - a Titan dedicated to long term (paid) Storage.
Won't be getting Freighter-X for it yet - let's see if there's any demand..

I've also had this happen to me twice in the last year.  Lasts 1-2 weeks, and then goes away.
51  Caffe / Whatever / Re: GCA Build Requests on: May 15, 2018, 03:36:14 AM
Let's give it a try!

I'd like to order 96 ACB Mk CC.

Do you accept payment in QPs?

How much will it cost me?

I guess there will be no need for me to join the corp because I will donate them. 1


Sorry, been away a few days..

Adv Cargo Bay    ACB   200   2,200   Cabriite     3,800   Mercury   7,200   Tanenite   = $1,692,400 each (base cost to produce)
96-mods x $1,692,400-each x 1.1-markup x 1.05-GCA_fee = $187,653,312 / 1750-$/m3_diamond = 107,230.464-m3 diamonds
107,230m3-diamonds will be due as 102,124m3-diamonds to me, 5106m3-diamonds to GCA Manager

(ed.) Starting your order now.  Will be 300-hours = 12.5-days.
Depending on a purchaser's rep with SPQNR (my home team - other GCA merchants will have their own standards) I might ask payment in advance for an order that size, but your credit's known good 1
QP are fine.

Great! I will pay once they're done.  1


Done  

my alt is awaiting admission to GCA with your order.
96-ACB-CC x $1,692,400-each x 1.1-markup = $178,717,440 + Cliff's fee that you're paying separately as QP.  Since you prefer QP(?) 179QP  due - please send to my main account - "Publius"

Thank you 1

Think SSS and PT are unhappy with NCE, but check with them - these things change fast, and nothing like a "late shot" to break a hard won treaty!
53  General Talk / General Discussion / Re: No diamonds for sale at Luna? on: May 14, 2018, 04:05:00 PM
I will buy diamonds and sell them to the station with profit from attacks on pirates


Thanks Cliff :-)

No need to buy from Earth to supply Luna - diamonds come "free" from looting AI Pirate Stations, and like the other major Corps, SPQNR does a lot of that!  Only problem is when demand outstrips supply - which "should" never happen because diamonds are infinitely "recyclable", but..  ;-)
54  Caffe / Whatever / Re: I dare you to complain. on: May 13, 2018, 04:48:57 AM

Heavy!  That's not one of the recent Troll punks..
55  General Talk / General Discussion / Re: nonGCA listing (for sale) on: May 11, 2018, 11:39:54 PM
Fine by me :-)

Cliff, unless you want to allow smaller trades, $1m minimum it is..
56  General Talk / General Discussion / Re: GCA Bylaws Rough Draft on: May 11, 2018, 01:25:06 PM
Am I able to hire an assistant manager?

Don't see why not, but they be coming out of your pay and fees ;-)
57  General Talk / General Discussion / Re: GCA Bylaws Rough Draft on: May 11, 2018, 09:46:46 AM
Very handy. Thanks!

CDR are seldom used by stronger players, because MAU work better with COMs, and it's always better to have another strong MAU.  That said, I can see some PvP scenarios, where a top notch CDR would be handy.  Let's leave CDR off the list.
58  General Talk / General Discussion / Re: GCA Bylaws Rough Draft on: May 10, 2018, 11:41:36 PM
You got it.  Nice rewrite!
59  General Talk / News & Strategy / Re: Tactics on: May 10, 2018, 11:39:57 PM
That's right.  May seem odd to split the Marines' value this way, but there are optimizations like Bomber that improve Weapons (including MAU) and others like Boarding Ship that improve Personnel.
60  General Talk / General Discussion / Re: GCA Bylaws Rough Draft on: May 10, 2018, 04:23:09 PM
I would like to propose an amendment to the bylaws as follows:

Change from:
Trade Restrictions: No weapons or shields should be traded of a power level higher than 5% of customer's power. No deathrays.

Change to:
Trade Restrictions: No weapons or shields should be traded of a power level higher than 5% of customer's power or mark level 50, whichever is greater. No deathrays.

Justification:
If a new player wants to do some SOS Com missions it takes a few level 50 MAU's and AES's to get into the game.  Allowing this should be encouraged.  As the GCA charter stands a player must build out SLB's and research MAU and AES to get into SOS com missions.  I have 18 ships but my total power is < 1500.  By our bylaws I can't even buy a MAU mark 1.  Is this what is desired?



Understand what you're after, but as written biases towards heavier, less cost-efficient weapons.  How about:
"No military modules should be traded of a power level higher than 5% of customer's power or 50,000-Pow, whichever is greater."
Note - the 50k is my recall of what's necessary to pickup a COM.  If it's something different, then please replace the 50k with the correct number :-)
