Good catch! I was afraid extern was running at 2 am Eastern. So 9 pm Mountain is 11 pm Eastern?

I went to bed too early last night. :)

Well if server time = midnight, and extern runs at night, going to have to be very careful

2) Fedspace is cleared of Nav Haz.
3) Empty ships in Fedspace are repo'd. (unless locked in tow. see tip #4)
4) Players are towed for Armament Violations. (having more than 100 figs in Fedspace while off-line)
5) Check for too many players in a Fedspace sector. (Random off-line players are towed if the number of allowed off-line players is exceeded in the sector) (not TOTALLY random :-)
6) Reset Tax time.
7) Reset Grimy Trader Curse.
8) Recover deaths (2 pods).

BH, did you change the start up credits from 10k to 100k? Most of us started with 10k start up cash, it shouldn't be changed....



BH didn't change it, lmster read it wrong.

Initial Fighters=101
Initial Credits=10000
Initial Holds=20

Thanks for the refresher Helix. It doesn't matter much to me one way or the other when extern runs, just as long as we know when.

(remember when extern ran at 3 - 4 AM!) LOL

No deaths by enemy action to report, but 2 pods, good turnout, 3 corps playing

Corp 1 - 5 players can use a 6th
Corp 2 - 4 players can use a 5th and a 6th
Corp 3 - 6 players

If you want to join, sit tight where you are, and contact the corp you want to join. Too many people are getting podded before they start by going to dock before they join a corp

This universe is a mean and nasty place for anyone without a scanner, you WILL be killed.

So, if you want to join a corp, follow protocol and contact the CEO first, DO NOT leave sector 1 without an assist.
