Hey there, if the forum is correct today is the day for celebrating your birthday. Hope you have a great one & thanks again for all the time & effort that goes in to operating & maintaining the zone.

Thanks for the reply Linear-Key, that makes sense now... I'll have to keep an eye out for those little red flares then. Wonder if anyone has managed to get N.D.E'd down to 1 bty yet. (Not likely to happen naturally I suppose)

Has anyone else noticed bounty dropping at strange increments? Maybe I'm missing something but when I was flying around in the middle of battle I noticed my bounty drop from like 15 to 14 (I'm a high roller baby) and sometimes I'm getting killed on 9 bty. Does it have anything to do with burning up ammo packs / is that normal under the new system? I miss my old ships and whatnot but at least I get a chance to race from the same starting point as the rest of the players in the zone so I'm happy with the reset even if things are going to be a bit crazy for a while. Looking forward to the Oracle System Cheers

It so is not... edit: Ok now it's a bit closer.

The other day the flags got stuck in a section in base three, if I remember maybe near P17 these vertical thin bars and someone dropped these batch of flags there that were impossible to retrieve. Maybe make the gaps big enough for a shark to get in, or block the flags from goin there. I like the bases especially 1, 7, & 5 at the mo.

For what it's worth, I'm a Discordian. j.x.

Hi Sharpflame, By witness, does it mean another player who observed the same thing or actually a mod or staff who was clued in/given the heads up and observed the occurrence through spec? Also is it technically against the rules to do this, or is it just part of the learning curve for us newbies like the old "Go upstairs and see the pool on the roof" trick. I'm talking about if a player rocks up on your freq and inquires through teammate chat as to which base flags are in, then minutes later has absconded with them to private freq & location. Not that this is happening a lot, but just getting a feel for the game & how rules are enforced also how sneaky one is allowed/expected to be ;D It's all in good fun as far as I'm (un)concerned however it's made me a bit suspicious of new players on the freq and suppose it could hamper teamwork efforts in smaller matches if everyone is doubtful of one another. Anywho if it happens would it be best to try contact a mod straight away or would it be advisable to just "Harden the !@# up" and make sure someone really is on your team before ya treat em as such.. Thanks J.x.
