Also, one more question, or rather favour... I had an account in this game, but I forgot the password for it, and, I don't know if there is a function to restore it or I'll just have to creat a new one. I've got an email that now the game requires your email address, so I'm not sure what to do, and if the function of resetting password isn't there, can I ask for my account removel? I'd provide any needed info. And will recreat it again after.

Hello. Can someone tell me step by step how to configure vipmud with sounds and all stuf? I tryed but can't make the soundpack acting.

I wonder if @nathantech would be so kind as to create a web-based client for casmic rage? That way, I can play it on my Android phone with a Bluetooth keyboard. There is no accessible MUD clients for Android.

well yeah i hope mush soundpack will coming soon. and btw here is the link for current official soundpack for vip.

Hello everyone
Ok first let me just say how absolutely wonderful it is to see all of you working together, helping each other to get onto the cosmic RAge game.
First:
@Luciana Hi there!
If you go to our logon screen, via cosmicrage.nathantech.net port 7777, there is an option in the menu called login assist.
If you enter one of those, we'll recover your account information for you quicker than you can say merlins beard!

@people who want mush pack
I've actually made me a basic pack for mush, but can not, for the life of me, figure out how to do non absolute paths.
Just as soon as I have figured out how to do non absolute paths, I'll have a basic pack, mainly channel sounds, for people to make life easier.
I believe two players are also working on a mush pack, but that is just here say.

@devinprater
I'd never actually considered a web based client and shall perhaps look into such a thing!
I believe the mud connecter[tmc] has a tellnet thing imbedded into there sight, though I don't know how good it is.

Finally
@bogdan
If you download the pack posted in 309, unzip it,,
enter cosmic rage/help files, and there is a file in their called readme. simply give that a read and you'll know what to do!

Finally, some changes!

nate: heylo folks! So, I've just added a very cool section to the info computer called debris centers. AS you might expect, this shows a table of either factory selling prices for debris per unit, or planet and space station. But nate, planet and space station debris centers pay all the same, right? right? I mean sure it scales with level, but only up to 100 right? right? actually...no, as of now, every 30 minutes the planets and space statins around the galaxy wil vary their debris price per unit. This is viewable via your info computer, so I hope you enjoy!

nf now tells you what type of field it has found as well as the other shtuf nate
toppings and flavors now appear in the name of the item you add to your cafe nate
you can now customise your PA speakers by buying one from the starship gadgets store on star command nate
star probes will now tell you, if you have star gear, the number of star probes you have nate
added the idea ooc social nate
added the uHelp command. This will be used as a section for help on what each upgrade does. I have put one file in already, and will do more tomorrow nate

I personally really like the debris centers idea, it's going to make life much more interesting and potentially prophetable than just chucking my salvage at any old planet.
You might also consider doing this for orbit salvage too.

I'll be giving this a try as soon as I've bought the right cargo upgrades for my asteroid hauler, since yes, weerdly enough it still! seems the hauler is the best ship out there in terms of defense and docking, and it just needs a cargo bay to make it useful for other stuff like salvage etc.

The db page has had to wait a little while since first we had all the site and database issues, then I left the description back on my desktop while I visit my parents, but it'll be up next week.
I do want to add in some important information like where to get soundpacks and find help in the game so new players can start in as soon as possible.

Doh, well my asteroid hauler slammed streight into a nebula field and now I need to start all over again.

I feel a little discouraged actually since one thing I will say is buying and upgrading ships in the game is not so much fun, as there are only so many things you can upgrade, and even the shipinfo command doesn't give info on ships making ship buying a bit of a tortuous process where you by a ship, try it out, and find what inadequacies it has and then have to fly to three or four different planets to buy upgrades for activities, assuming you have the levels. Eg, the problem I had with a frigate not having weapons or defenses.

Descriptions of what ships are intended for would really! speed this up. I'd also appreciate as I suggested in the suggestions box, a way to actually see if your ship's course is going to slam you streight into a nebula field (since really you should be able to just look on the view screen and see as much).

Greetings.
Unfortunately, I can't download the soundpack, not sure why it fails though. Will search for a better solution I guess.
And thanks Nathan! Will do when will have a possibility to enter there.

Smugglings unbalanced, I wouldn't bother with it. The rewards are barely worth anything, and SDF members will always catch you, even if they're sitting on their asses in a completely different sector. They will then remove billions from you magically, the number of billions being directly proportional to how dickish they are feeling at that particular moment. I did write an extremely detailed ideas post on how the system could be made fairer, but alass... It was not to be.
Edit:
This was my experiences smuggling, circa november of last year. If there have been changes to the activity since then, the above might not be as accurate. It did happen, however.

Hi.

I'd not seen the announcement, but the fields nearby sounds like a good thing.
As for autostop, I don't tend to find that helps since mostly I slam into fields because I'm on course and have miscalculated where the field is, or because a new field has hove into scan range as I'm  trying to get to where I'm going, or, as on one notable occasion in my friggate, I was being chased by a hole bunch of vacus ships which I could do nothing about since I had no weapons or cloak or anything.
Hopefully though the fields nearby will help clear this up though.

I have one question about taking cover.
Firstly,  can you take cover in mission rooms? If so, it might be a way to deal with those droids and their infinite stun ability.
Secondly, I'll be interested to see if this also pressages my assassination missions idea coming into play.

Hi.

Well I've finally got off my rear and done a db page for cosmic rage, find it here 
Actually this did take longer than I thought, partly because of the forum shenanigans, and partly because my wife and I were away staying with my parents up until last Sunday and like a dope I didn't take my partly done Cosmic rage entry with me to work on.
Oh well, it's up now, hopefully this will attract some more players.
