...are you for real? lols seriously... kids these days.

[Labyrinth]

...is he for real? Honestly, what the hell.

Are you seriously telling me that Colt is still crusading about people being kicked from the server when lag, rubberbanding, and wait times are virtually non-existent now?


And how, Colt, can you even call resource gathering "AFK grinding." AFK macroing maybe, but in this case.... there's no xp involved, get your terminology together, bro.

Uh.... you do know surveying requires sampling to get xp, right? So yeah, it's afk grinding. And I aint crusading for anything, I was just showing Breeze what a stupid post he made.

Yeah, you do it for a couple hours, find someone to teach you and next thing you know you're capped out. Wow, huge AFK grinding there. About the equivalent of AFK grinding yourself to Pistols 3...except you're finished afterwards.

Not a valid argument, keep trying. And yes, you are crusading. What else do you call it when you persistently keep proposing the same ideas, ignoring all reason and contradiction with "you're stupid" and "you're just making stupid examples" posts.

Give it a rest, seriously.

Regardless of how long it takes, it's still AFK grinding. And what idea am I even proposing here? Hmm? Since clearly you believe I'm proposing the same idea over and over, what idea is it?

^^ Yes, thank you for the clarification cRush. I too was hoping that even if - in essence - the formatting of the code had to be changed from top to bottom, that the basic content of it would still be useful. And that more than just its formulas could be used. Going back to zero was too hideous to even contemplate.

As for my own negative comments on AFK macroing, I was only speaking about wanting to see some tools to fight it included in the finished emulator. Trying to craft using mats gathered by sampling alone is of course absurd. If I was on TC now, I'd be macroing these myself. But I guess a lot of people are actually getting competitive on TC - something which I view as fairly silly.

However on the finished emulator, I can see where all the Jedi wannabees are going to scream bloody murder if AFK macroing is not tolerated. But to me, that only makes a stronger argument for saying "tough, if you can't hack it then don't plan on being a Jedi".

[DeadFett]

Thanks for the update Max. Keep up the good work guys. I can't wait for Suncrusher.

[arween]

Cant Wait for OR on the TC nova. Will be amazing for the devs to have a restructured and commented codebase..than the updates and improvements will grow like popcorn.

[TankGun]

Thank you for not giving up at all, even when problems hit you guys hard you keep moving forward like the pioneers you are

[COCONUT]

Great Work Guys, Can't wait till Next update
