About Domina: Tithing does not count towards earning rank and powers. Unless you know what to do (read: been spoiled), tithing is a trap. If you want to get more Domina powers, you need to donate multiple psionic or sentient items. Hint: Sung are an excellent source of such items. How people figure ...

Some call start scumming cheap. It is, in a good way. I call it saving time. Those who say otherwise are deluded by false pride. Short of mods, there are no tricks. You are doing what I do. You store extra stuff wherever you can. I frequently travel from system to system to stash items in a no Salva...

A player will not use the fabricator effectively unless he spoils himself with the tables and stashes plenty of items in various places near a fabricator. Fabricators also appear late, which means the player will need a jumpdrive or gems of despair if he wants to fabricate stuff around midgame.

For those who have played Playership Drones, what are your ship preferences? By that I mean, what sort of playership you pilot, and what drone escorts do you use and how many? In my case, I find myself piloting a gunship like a Wolfen or Centurion, and my escort is one big ship that can hold at leas...

As a player, here is how I would react to the above ideas from George: 1. The station is a Black Market station; only members of high enough level can access the credit conversion. To become high level you must (e.g.) destroy a Commonwealth station so you forever give up docking with the Commonwealt...

If Taikon could accept either currency, make services more expensive if credits are used instead of rin. Another idea: Allow the Sisters of Domina do limited currency conversion. If the player has plenty of credits but no rin, let the Sisters convert a few thousand credits maximum to rin. Using this...

After playing games with various ore scanners usable by the playership, I came to the conclusion that a scanner that scans a wide area around the player is very powerful, maybe too much. What if a weaker NPC does the scanning, scanning one asteroid at a time? If autons did the scanning, the player h...

Minor update uploaded to Xelerus.

WARNING: Spoiler-ish M5 Nemesis is level 10 ammunition. The fabricator needs 10 material and 10 energy to replicate M5 ammo. No disposition is required, so no food is necessary. Steps: 1. Drop enough fuel into the pit until the total level is at least 10. Depending what you feed it next, you may ne...

Making them heavier would mean only the EI500 would use them. Currently, the only ship suffering from lack of weapon slots is the EI500. The other two ships have to watch their weight as essential device upgrades get progressively heavier.

Not unless the weapons are external and can be damaged, like the NM900 missile pod. Otherwise, slotless weapons are a loophole for the EI500 to evade weapon slot limits. For the other playerships (i.e., Sapphire and Wolfen), it will not matter by late game because equipment becomes so heavy that equ...

The dockscreen and inherit lines were missing the semicolons. The post above has been fixed.

Friendly stations do not mind friendly fire from anyone... except the player. Friendly NPC ships can shoot the station as much as they want without consequence, but the player gets blacklisted and fired upon if he tries it.
