Chips. Do you play your own F#$% mod? Scenario...Dock in use, entering queue...enemies appear, BOOM DEAD 2 seconds. WTF? missions take FOREVER. Why does this mod have to be so friggin hard? I left your mod all pissed off, certainly not something i look forward to. Missions for 5k (which is about all you can handle in the beginning) are POINTLESS. Yes, POINTLESS. you have to spend 4k JUST TO GET YOUR NANOS AND SHIELD BATS BACK. WTF is the point? i played your mod for almost 3 hours. I'm level 9, in the SAME POS SHIP, and it just sucks. It's not enjoyable when it's that hard. Hands going numb doing low level missions for NOTHING.
I saw people (6 to be exact) come onto the server, play for a little while and quit, saying AND I QUOTE "This mod sucks, it's too hard to get anywhere" THAT IS A QUOTE from several of the people that played. I mean damn, then there is the bugs that are super annoying, like the group bug...almost EVERYONE has the "Can't join group, player is on a mission" bug, when they JUST JOINED the server, and haven't done a mission yet.
I can see all the hard work you did on this bro, and the mod has potential to be cool, but as it is right now, i'm deleting it off my PC, as i know many others have already. It's just too damn hard. I got jacked off a tradelane by 2 daggers that all i wanted to do was escape, but couldn't (WASP friggin missiles, that ignored my puny countermeasures). Ended up dying, can't compete with that. THEN on top of it all, we finally get a group together in NY, right outside i think, Manhattan, and a unit of F#$%#$%#$ nomads show up and obliterate us. Nothing we could do. So i guess you succeeded in scaring away new players. This is one i won't ever play again, i'm truly sorry to say.
Mods to me (and most people) are to enhance the game, not make it so friggin aggravating they quit after a short stint. Doing level 1 missions for 20 minutes EACH is just lame. then making only 1k in profit is also crazy. I think the mod could be much more fun at a higher level, or with a better starting ship, but as it sits, i hate it totally. It's more difficult than Khaosprime, and that's tough to beat there.
I used to follow your mods with GREAT interest, but that ends here. This was aggravating, and no fun, and i KNOW i'm not in the minority in feeling this way about this mod.
Anyway. This is MY opinion, and not a flame. I am in NO WAY trying to make light of the hard work you do. I mod some myself (for myself) and i know it's a pain, and time consuming. So please leave flames aimed at me elsewhere, as this post is meant to just illustrate my feelings alone. If this post incited you to want to flame me, then so be it.
Anyway. Thanks for reading.
