Actually the rankings are a better way to tell who is active. Like in life, the cream rises to the top. The AG forum is the least used forum in MMORG gaming I've ever seen.

PS ... Tymythy, the guy that started the post, landed in SPQNR. Regnad Kcin is the leader of SPQNR, and I, of course, landed there also.

:21:For some reason, he applied for Imperial membership.

...he was rejected...

Imagine that ... Could he have been looking for a safe place to hide? (Rhetorical question)

Voluntarily making reparations would go a long way toward making people take you seriously. Return all the mods you stole from GCA ... Pay for the SPQNR station you destroyed ... Etc. etc.

Why on Earth, (or any other planet), would anyone need a sponsor to explore the ARC?

I'm afraid that Pokeboy is no longer with us. He became dissatisfied with the game and left. I decline to comment on the situation further other than to say I that he won't be missed.

That is an interesting suggestion. I'm not a coder, so I don't know what would be involved in adding animation, but my fear is that it would slow down the server, due to the sheer number of objects that would need to be animated.

If you enjoy peaceful, cooperative games you have come to the right place.
Joining a Corporation will greatly help further your career. EOS has already offered you a place. There is a reason they are the top Corp in the game. Allow me to extend the same invitation from SPQNR.

I know that AG is a great game,and I can not venture off very far because It too is a peaceful game with little ,or no war,but A second sever with a touch of super fast game play will make this even a better  AG ....I have ideals ,and I know you guys have ideals as well...

The problem seems to be getting those ideas implemented.

the best way is to pay attention when you start the mission.

ALWAYS look before you leap...

Yep ... First thing I was told before starting COM missions. It shouldn't matter which ring you're in. You can get stacked up anywhere.

It sounds unethical, at the least, to me. Is it possible that it could be accidental? I've been told that I should always check the orbit before starting a COM, so as not to screw with another players COM.

Forgive the newbie question. I've only today built my first COM ship. Do you mean that there were completed combat missions left unattended/uncollected in the same orbit as your COM, or that they were pending in that orbit?
Maybe it's because I'm so new, or maybe I'm just anal that way, but I would be very anxious about every COM mission that I had underway.

Another thought. Make the science officer reduce the time that is needed to investigate wrecks in the ARC ... This makes sense since you are expending sic points to do the investigation.

Just a few suggestions to spruce up the game.
1. Re-code the click-fest that is the science tab ... use the manufacturing tab as a template?
2. Sorting modules on the ships and stations should be drag-and-drop from the graphic ... not uninstall, re-install in the right order from the cargo bay.
3. Ditto mining modules on the planet surface ... at least let you highlight the one you want to scoop.

I question the need for mentors on a game-wide basis. As a noob, (just over a month in), I find that being in a good corporation I receive all the mentoring I need. I recently invited my son into the game, and into the Corp.
Any player worth his salt will check the forums, so if the major Corps renew their recruitment posts there should be no problem retaining serious new players. Those players should receive their mentoring from within the Corps.

This avatar does have a bit of a demented look to it. Sargas previous avatar was perhaps too Zen.
