By the way that was less than an hour ago.

Thanks @Hubris My point on the new players signing up to troll was eloquently made by a Level 2 player that entered chat and proclaimed "All n****** should be hung" With a name like "Ladyfaggot" it sticks out like a sore thumb.All chat needs to be removed from that account or at least echo what they send back to their own chat window but it doesn't appear in the real chat. They think no one is biting and soon get bored.

Can one of the devs confirm the status of the new trawler rules that were implemented? Can members that join AFTER the trawler is running still work on the trawler? There was a problem where if someone was promoted within the company they couldn't work on the trawler is that still the case?

I forgot to mention that any action that can/will be taken for breaking the rules should be in the "document" and the action taking is evenhanded across the board and NO ONE is above those rules so no moderator bias as has been noted previously.

I think the word Netiquette should be dropped altogether. The word Netiquette has been used for many years and is guidance as in an etiquette for using the net. This causes some people to think it is guidance and doesn't have to be adhered to. The way I see it is that this should be called something that defines it as Rules that MUST be obeyed. The "document" should be drawn to ALL players attention especially new players. There are a number of "problem areas". 1. Brand new players that have no real intention to play the game and merely want to troll the chats and abuse other players. It is easy enough to identify this sort of "miscreant" by clicking their username and checking their level. 2. Players that are obviously playing while under the influence of alcohol or even drugs 3. Players using the chat like a smutty chat room. everyone forgets that their are youngsters playing the game. 4. Players that have been disgruntled at the decisions of the former mod(s) and the fact that there is no reasonable means to address a wrong. I suppose I fit in there but can't discuss it without breaking rules. There are a lot of players that don't even bother looking into General chat because of the childish drivel on there at times. People poking each other with virtual sticks and shoving those sticks where they shouldn't go. There IS a need for somewhere where the game and it's strategies can be discussed. Why not have a General chat and a new game (only) discussion. Just my thoughts (penn'orth)

The new history on the trawler is excellent and let's us know who is doing what in the event. Thank you for listening to our requests.

I had the same problem. There are a lot of players that cannot afford gold bars due to the Financial state of their Countries. I tried to buy a voucher and ticked the box. I ended up with the gold myself. In other games there is the ability to transfer paid for items (gold bars or whatever is used) to other players from your account to theirs. It is done through support tickets so support would need to be on the ball in dealing with them. Or fix the voucher problem.

Bear in mind that the zzz's and the amount of trips left are still broken. I no longer scan through the number of trips left by looking at the ship images. I click on the ships and use the info in there. I've had a lot of ships appearing to still be working when they are idle. It should be easy enough to allow the images to be smaller to allow 8 to 10 ships on the screen instead of just 5. Your best ships tend to be on the second screen. Maybe use percentage instead of a fixed pixel size. The number of ships displayed could also alter should the map or chat be closed down.

That's not good. I hope someone from Support can help as you can't even get to the stage where you can open a ticket. The image shows "loading sound". As the sound drivers were working previously ( to your wife's dismay) I would check you have the latest sound drivers installed as that "could" be the problem. You seem to have ruled everything else out. Usually I'd ask for your set up. Operating System etc. As much information as you can supply. Maybe someone at Big bait could reset your options to default. I'm not sure what I have said will help but at least it shows someone is listening.

Excellent idea.

Exiled are currently hiring. We currently have 3 factories.All at Lvl 5 doing up to Sushi x5 Our HQ is currently at Lvl 6 We are a laid back crew (although we do expect company members to pull their weight but realise players may take a time out for a few days when needed) that helps each other along the way although we ARE ambitious and intend to move ourselves up at boards. We are in the top 10 Companies every week. Which nicely shows the effort being put in by a team with, currently, 8 members with room for 2 very active players that will contribute to our work in the fish factoies. As we are relatively new we are working towards raising the overall ranking and it is coming down every week. We have the Trawler Factory twice and aim to get one every time they appear. . The Company is named after Exiled an Alliance in the Blue Frog Gaming series of Starfleet Commander. The only difference here is we don't get to kill anyone and burn their ships. We always have RUM and Cookies at hand and keep our blades clean and sharp in case Big Bait introduces the pillaging of opponents ships. Because so many companies have been in existence for a while they have a virtually unassailable lead so we concentrate on keeping the weekly averages in the right ranges. The rest will come together. Please message in game Wanderer4895 or Qaz for more information or look for our Company and request to join. Ed

We could also do with the ability to send longer messages. When you are trying to send out information to the members it looks ridiculous if you hit the buffer and have to carry on typing in a second or third message. Communications are already troublesome without using external applications to discuss matters. Also if a Company is very active regarding assignments then the notifications soon puch the important info down the page to where members may not scroll down.

Hi Chrischan, I feel a sledgehammer has been used to crack a nut or that you've used the easiest bit of code to sort the problem of changing companies during the trawler events. It should have been simplified to stop a player returning to the company they originally left by putting a 60 limit on that happening. If someone leaves company A. As soon as they join company B then there is a 60 day period before they can return to company A. If, as we assume, trawler events are monthly, this mean they miss at least one trawler event with their favoured company. Trawler events are a good recruitment tool and this will not be the case if players recruited after the event has already started are excluded from doing work on the trawler. Wanderer
