Ahoy there

Still playing SC but not sure if I'll stick around, more on that in a while.

The game, is really realy good. the player base is better than that of miriani from what I have seen so far,so that's  a point in its favor.

@drums61999, ahh the letters make more sence now,might take some time but I am sure this should prove useful.

What I was getting at with computers with text files is instead of books,why not have a tablat kind of thing where you have all these books as ebooks. surely that's not taking it too far. but like I said, the books are well written and while a slight pain in the arse, I take it as one of the games quirks and let it be.

speaking of hosts/staff,The hosts are humans, I understand that that's the first thing I think of when interacting and commenting upon any admin staff at all,anywhere. be it a mud a multiplayer game or some other place that has a need of admins.
But it gets to be a bit more then something you can let go when the staff wants to ride your arse like a control freeque,and have this attitude that screems we don't give a fuck about you,the player we will do as we like, do as we say or fuck off. point in case, darks interaction and mine with the staffers.
In a way its fare enough, your game, you can do as you like, however why have it released for others to play if players have no freedom and if they do its the kind of restricted  freedom that's no kind of freedom at all, but then again. no wonder its playerbase is just so so, with the hosts like that.
I speak of numbers here, like I said the playerbase is actually quite good. that is the people that play this game are a friendly bunch. and not apt to act like assholes any chance they get to do so.

Dark, cosmic rage eventhough is a little buggy, I say is coming along far better then SC or miriani, as lomg as its admins keep on the right track, focus a little more on fixing bugs first rather than releasing activity after activity it can get quite good, but as for SC you don't need to change the UI. all you need is a little trigger to fix the combat tracking.
SC is actually a good game,its just the staff that might put me off,sooner or later.

I submited a profile years ago,created a character of course at that point. didn't do much with it, as in nothing at all, and it got deleted. fare enough.
I started playing after reading this topic,asked if it could be restored,was told no. so I decided I'd create the same cha as in same profile and all with the same name with the dates updated.
now see the reason for the rejection of the profile which they had accepted before.
We were going to check this profile properly and give you feedback on what issues needed addressing, but your support ticket informed us that this profile was used for a different character.

and I have been trying to explain it to them that this profile wasn't used for a different character, but the same cha that I didn't play at all and which got deleted. essencially this is the same character with the same name and since I didn't play with it at all, there shouldn't be any issue of other characters or RP being disrupted.they insist on a new profile essencially forcing either paraphrasing of the whole thing, or just play a different type of character just because the hosts want to be techniqual. RP is fine, forced RP as in mo OOC permited can be stomached for once,but this play my way,do things my way is what's not acceptable.
And hell, their message states quite clearly that if I hadn't informed them of it they would have had a look on the same profile and let me know if there were any issues and accept or reject it after.

I've had good and bad interactions with hosts, but to each their own. I'm not a fan of cosmic rage, never have been, but if that's whhat you like, then ok, enjoy it.  I never try and use the same profiles for characters, that's just dumb, I'll just make a completely new profile, and it's not like it's that hard to make one up.  But if you guys stay, ok, if you leave, ok.  At least you can say you tried.

Ahoy there

blindndangerous, its not about making a profile I could have written at least 20 of those by now since their crap on technicalities started, if they see problems in my characters profile, if it wasn't the type of thing that would fit in game or anything for that matter, I would have been quite happy to fix/correct those problems. Here its the principle of the thing, I.E the Attitude they have towards their players (read my post above), and its sort of a bureaucratic behavior that you don't simply expect. that is, your envelope is blue in color, we don't allow blue envelope,please write another letter in green ink with a blue envelope.
There's no 2 ways about it, the hosts attitude sucks.

to clarify I wasn't using a old profile for a new character or anything of that sort. Imagine this,you create a character, think of the type of character you want to play as,their goals, behavior etc. you write up a profile, don't have time to play,the character gets deleted, you come back, ask for just the character restore which they allow btw, they can't do it. which is ok, since they might have space issues and so on,so it got deleted I understand it.so you go ahead create the same character wanting to RP this same type of character,same everything. now wouldn't it make sence to submit the same bloody profile? rather then paraphrase it. if that's dum to you,then so be it. its perfectly sensable to me.

And aye, agreed with dark, more to the point it just goes to show the kind of behavior the hosts/staff have.

I don't know if I like cosmic rage enough to call myself a particular fan of it, but right now it has a lot of potential the way it is going,and if it does like I said work on smoothing out a few more things. More potential in terms to improve and grow as aposed to Miriani and StarConquest anyway. Specially how responsive the admin is to player suggestions/ remarks and  with the speed at which the bugs and such get fixed if reported.
Starconquest would be a good experience and fun, only if their hosts weren't so good at interaction with their players and their general attitude. insert sarcasm.

On the matter of profiles, my one attempt got reasonable enough feedback, it was not accepted first time, but then again it was just a try out bye me to see if the admins were as bad as people stated, though i can understand why Grryf is annoyed at having the rejection of a deleted character.

@Rashad, My problem with Sc was the game was far too unforgiving. Combat seemed spammy as hell, meaning that everytime I tried to track a rat I was told "A computer voice tells you that rat 4892372 has moved to the north west" by which time the bloody thing had moved again and I couldn't aim. there is no reason in hell the message needs to be this long, not when enemies move that quickly.
I lost two ships in this way, and when the response was "well go and beg" that was when I gave up.

Perhaps this was overly harsh, but I didn't like basically losing out on all progress and being essentially stuck, neither did I like the fact that when I tried to directly address this issue I was utterly ignored, yet the admins still claime their game is screen reader friendly.

it is a shame, I did like the atmosphere and writing and what I saw of the activities, and I can see how much work has gone into the universe and mechanics of the game.
Perhaps I will try it again when the soundpack is fixed and people have some decent script.

As to cosmic rage, I'll say I'm loving where development is going with the game, particularly the fact that nathan and the other hosts are very responsive to bug reports, suggestions and fixes, that and the fact that combat is actually doable .

The game certainly does need work, particularly with gathering information about things, but I'm certainly enjoying where things are going so far. Certainly it's the most success I've found with a space mud after my disaster with star conquest and my truly confusing attempt at promethius.

sound pack have any update?

So I'd like to bring back up this thread to thank whoever it was who sent me this pack with my entire (or mostly, my entire) I think todo list done. Unfortunately, I cannot find the email, or, can I ask in character who did this, bbut I wanted to say thank you all the same. I've just now gotten bck into SC, and am using your pack.  All I know is that the person's name in game is Erik, as that's what his erik.set file says since he forgot to take it out. I'd like to put this up here, but as I do not have his permission, I can't.  I'm guessing also that this doesn't have the new battlesuits and things, and I don't know if he's done that.  So, thank you for your help, and I hope you read this forum thread. If you could email me again, maybe we can work on the new things.

Yes, are you the one who emailed me with it?
