Your are absolutely right about that Chowy. I've already cast an Apolyton curse spell on you..

Then about attacking ships: of course you can attack evil traders as a good guy, that only lifts your alignment!

Markos had every right to attack you when you had a Federal reward on you for bad deeds. I understand that you and Markos have worked on a solution, however.

I await the result.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

*sigh*

I managed to capture a merchant cruiser operated by an evil alien trader, but when I got it back to the Stardock, the Feds reposessed the ship before I got a chance to sell it.

DAMN IT! The warning just says that I can't park it overnight, and I didn't!! I can't even recoup my costs in lost fighters

Anyway, MarkG has offered a reasonable deal but I cannot fulfil it. 8Xk credits! How can a newbie afford it? Guess I have to earn money for a long time before clearing the grudge from Apolyton Corp.

[Evil Grin]I am deeply sorry for the accident.
How about I become a EVIL mercenary of the Apolyton Corp? ;-P
You see that I have about 50 fighters after being attacked by the XYZX@&*#@
Feregui. You can kill me, just don't do it in the federal space.

As an aside, I believe that there should be an ethics guide for the newbies like me. It is really tempting to attack a 40 fighters force not parking in the federal space. ;-)

Well, it's a matter of choice. If you choose to attack a member of a corporation (currently the most powerful one), you gotta figure you'll be in a sore spot! Now, if you want to do some dirty work behind the scenes for us...hmmmm....

Actually, after DanS has destroyed his ship, he could have claimed the award. That's what I did.

It was all DanS's fault not doing that

If he's not a bad guy, you can't attack him in FedSpace no matter what he had done to you.

I guess the key here is "IN FEDERATION SPACE" ... Since mark just "raped" me in uncharted space. For no reason and I was also "good alligned" I might add.

Fellow players beware, Mark was one of the first to state "if you have more that 100 fighters, you will be towed out of Fed space." This maybe true, but don't trust him. I had a Constallation Class ship with 30 shields and 100 fighters. Mark destroyed it while I was off line and left me with 25 credits and an escape pod. My fellow member of my young corportation (CIVCORP) was also raped by Mark. But this time he CAPTURED Rhinephalz's Constallation ship (30 shields/100 fighters) and left him floating in space with just 25 credits and an escape pod.

So fellow players, you've been warned.

This is a BIG negative. When I signed into Trade Wars today, I got the message of your attack on me, including the number of fighters and shields you destroyed.

Well, somewhere in TW web pages is a statement that "if your ship has a combat computer it can detect how many shields are in the target ship". I guess that Constellation & Scout Maradeur don't have that computer..

Well, if you don't trust him, buy 101 fighters and park in Fed Space just before the 4 a.m. check and see what happens.

Sorry can't resist going in.
I also destroyed MarkG's ship with some shields. I guess we do not read enough documentation.
My guess is that shield requires fuel or ore. I don't know why travelling does not require fuel.
Any one interested in an alliance against Apolyton (in this Tradewar game of course)?

Suffering from ads?

I don't think shields require Fuel Ore. AFAIK only the Transwarp Drive needs fuel. Other items are powered by the ship or are self-contained.

When you attack an enemy ship, if it has shields, the combat display will tell you it is protected by "strong electromagnetic field" or something similar.
