First Hello and hope all of ya are just great. Now down to it, its getting to be a real problem for some "me" with the level 1's up to 10 begging and bugging for credits ALL the time..Someone should figure out a way to block people from the chat window. < off the wall comment, happens with age..So to my new little friends out there if you want help from a non admin then please learn some manners or just go to the corner for a time out..Alot of you are ruining the game for others who enjoy it..No means NO..To the ones who have asked me for help with missions..You guys are the best..ive helped countless of my new little friends with missions and i cant think of anything better..We work together and both profit..Thats what multiplaying FL is all about..Haveing fun and enjoying it while you get rich....Well thanks for letting me vent and comment or not..i wont remember where i posted it anyways..haha..Bye. TonyH , level 52 Elite . ( Eagels Rule )
You dont have to be so mean. Ever happen you changed server? ok you can start over once, twice but 5 times..?
Well I personly will loan money to anyone who askes, As i sometimes ask for LOAN. When your not n00b and you know who to earn money, 700k can help alot to start and you can return em back in half hour, while starting over can take you much longer.
Next time if you see starflier in theta, dont assume he is begger.
Thanks you.

Lets make that 50K.
With that amount of cash they can eaely buy a Defender or the Patriot. Man, you're nearly invincible when you do missions in the LIB systems with these ships.
Once I joined a group with four newbies. 4 Starfliers with Justice Mk1 and a fully equiped lvl 57 Sabre with Nomads and Del Cids. We flew in formation

Just a thought here, because I will be starting over soon. My server is going away on the 1st of August. I worked hard on the server I am on. I have about 13 million credits there, two eagles outfitted superbly, and my Dromedary - that can take out an eagle in a single pass. I worked for what I had, but it took forever. On August 1st...I have nothing, zip, zilch, nada. I have a trad route that startup costs are about 500K credits, but it needs to be done asap so I don't get bad reps with the wrong factions. My trade route...by the way....pays me 1.2 million credits per hour, and I play for about 3 - 5 hours at a time. So here is what I am asking. First - a reliable server that doesn't allow cheating or modding, second a loan of 500K that would be repaid within an hour plus 200K in interest. You loan me 500K, I repay 700K.
Anyone feeling like a bank today? email [email protected] with the server to play on, and your name so I can find you. Thanks!

Reading this made me wonder something... if you are changing servers for whatever reason... What would happen if the host of server you are on emails you a copy of your account info? Cant you just install that the same path on the new server and have your guy back? Or no? Just curious.. I know the records are kept on the server machine so it seems like you should be able to find that file and send it off to transfer it someone else..
That requires manual server admin time, and when you're dealing with thousands of accounts per server, I really think most admins spend enough time dealing with other issues than dealing with sending/receiving accounts. And now they'll probably get bogged down with hundres of emails from ex-browclops players. I wouldn't be surprised if they filter those.
Then of course you'll probably get people hacking their server account before sending on to new admins. Look!I have $200mil on this account, and have a stockpile of every single weapon in my cargo too! - Sigh.

Twex said it perfectly. I am in the same boat...I have loads of weps and creds on a storage character that is going poofie. I am just concerned with this guy. Any takers on the loan idea?

Dont get me wrong.i dont mind helping a person out but i try not to give them money. usally i give them weapons or escort them on a run(Help a Noobie Foundation). but its the ones that insist on having money that drive me nuts. hell ill kill a transport for some newbies. sux that browclops is shutting down. i know alot of ppl worked hard to get where they were but you can always do it again and build up a chacter.( its wrong but what can you do.) i hoping that i can find a good server with all the rest of the EX-brow players i want to start up RES again i felt that with all the clans on brow it would of been great.
P.s with the patch i dont want to get somone banned for giving them too much money. seen ppl get banned for that
helping is why i play this game.

I've begun a dozen our so characters, and can get enough money for my needs usually in and hour. Less if there are some wrecks intact.
however
If someone offers to give me a mil or two, I TAKE IT. I have never asked for money, often people just offer it. Guess I've been lucky that way, but on the other hand 80% of my characters were self-funded.
I have also given out money... but never to those who asked.

I may just have to bite the bullet and do it myself - again. The problem, and it really is mine, is that I spend a lot of time building a character to the fund level I want only to recycle him to create the FL he was meant to be. I am ambitiously lazy and I only work as hard as I have to. Like leadpill - my players were mainly self funded, except for only one (Thanks Freakzilla). That one got leveled up quick after a lvl 40+ eagle decided my stardier...errr - starflier needed to be repainted in Laser fire...
I appreciate the offer of help, but I need about 490K to get the ship up and running, let alone equiped properly. All told, I spent about 500K in weps upgrades and shields and 500K for a ripper from a FL pilot who needed cash quick. (Dragoon Type 1 x 2, Dragoon Type 2 x 1, Dragoon Type 1 turrets x 3, and 2 Debilitator Turrets, Ripper Mine, Class 6 FR Shields). Won't stand up to a serious eagle attack, but will hold its own and even take one out in one pass if I get lucky.
See you in space!

Heyah Justinian,
I have on off days been starting up accounts on many servers for fun (mainly to see how fast I can go from starflier to fully-loaded fighter), and it looks like it may come into use. I have an eagle + cash on Elite, Calgary and a few other less famous servers. I'd be happy to front you a mil anywhere I play; just let me know. I know you're definately good for it. Probably within 1/2 hour of drom-running on one of THE routes
On the other side of it, you know I feel your pain. You know what my storage accounts are like, and it's all gone gone gone (sob).

Statements that might cause me to offer help:
"Can I have a loan?"
"Can I have some start-up money? I'll owe you a favor"
"Can you help me with a mission? It'll be fun"
Statements that will make me sneer and fly away:
"Give me ..."
"I want..."
"Can I have money"
These last statements betray no investment by the players in their own welfare. They want something for nothing, and they don't care who they get it from. The general principle of this kind of begging boils down to screwing us out of hard work so they can have it easy; presumably because hard work comes easier to us than it does to the newb. I never grant something for nothing, I make deals and often hide a kind favor within the terms.
