Well I made a quick 28 million on my old "Bricky" trader last night. That means I am not far off the price tag for one of those already (I could buy it outright with money I already had, but I don't wanna go down that route if I can help it).

So, what I am asking is: what are the "rules" for me and Maximus then Greg (in terms of using money we have on other characters)? Or using our other characters to trade/get dollar etc? Or are you not bothered?

My middle name is finesse.

#63

Not fussed in the slightest really.

#64

Ah, Gregory "Finesse" Mitchel is it?

That’s the one. Never before has a name so ill fitted the person it was attached to.

Actually with one exception, this girl how had a glandular problem (with pies mainly) and had taken a sustained beating from the ugly tree itself was named ‘Grace’.

#66

This wouldn't be the same Grace that you caught scratching and sniffing her own arse would it?

#67

In addition: 

How's about I give you and Dyson's character 4 million - so you can at least buy the Armored Transport - which will triple your earnings on the run we did the other night (and you won't get blown to pieces by stuff so much). 

Hopefully that will give you a better time trading, because the beginning is quite slow to earn credits. The Rhino won't be getting you much in return for your time. The Armored Transport can be bought from California Minor.

Yes give them 4 million each so they can get the Amoured Transport.

Trading is very tedious to start with and it takes for ever in the Rhino to get anywhere.  At least with the Pelican you can earn sensible money on each trade run bur?

#69

Yea why not, go for it.

#70

Okay, I will do that when I get home tonight.

#71

...and if Captain Gout ever gets his butt on the site he will hopefully see this and know to get the new ship. If not, then he is a pie-loving-mother-ducker.

#72

I text him but no reply as yet. Yea a good sized freighter would be a good thing. I think we had best call that the last round of’ quantitative easing‘ or we will have nothing to aim for.

#73

Yes no more quantitative easing after that you will have to earn the money

I might pop on later on have a look at my characters see what i have if i get time.

I would like to try out two ships this one

http://discoverygc.com/wiki/%22Obstinate%22_Gallic_Royal_Navy_Cruiser

We have used this before and it was very good but they have changed it a bit looks much nicer depends on the weapon layout. 

And this one

http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Liberty_Assault_Battlecruiser


I know i tried the last one before but they have changed it quite a bit in the last update so i would like to give it another try.  They have increased the weaponary so now you have 3 battleship turrets.  So how do we stand on 'test driving' ships before we buy?

I might sell my Liberty Dreadnought as i never use it and if we get to a point where we need battleships i have my Galic battleship which is very nice.  This would free up cash for one of these ships but i would like to try both out before i buy

Given you have had both those ships before there is no need for a test drive - which is awkward anyway. 

#76

Well that told you.

#77

Yes it did didn't it.

On another note i tried to go on last night and the brickage server is not on my server list.  It is searching globally and there are other servers on the list about 12 of them.  I don't have anything checked in the filter but no brickage .

Any ideas?

#78

Greg and Dyson had this, I completely forgot to look into it. Simple fix for now is just to add -swww.jimbobslimbob.com:2302 into the shortcut for Discovery Freelancer and it forces it to show.

I take it you made the ini changes too?

#79

I didn't think i needed to as it was still installed from last time and it was searching globally?

So where do i put this swww.jimbobslimbob.com:2302?  Didn't do it like that before?

You missed the "-s" on the front there. Just sling it at the end of the shortcut's "target" box, after the quotes.

I think it's because the server has been down so long it got removed from the global server list. This means I have to jump through all their hoops to get the thing added again. Slags.
