Call me jaded if you like, but anarchies hold no fear for me now and the Tiger gang won't play no more (used to love their gung-ho, but foolhardy attitude). What can you suggest to tickle my jaded palate?

BTW Lestrade, my pc won't be able to handle your lunking great monster!

ATM My kitchen is Galaxy 2 and I have these spices to hand;
Anarchies1.0.oxp
att1.oxp
behemoth_2_4.oxp
Behemoth_Spacewar.oxp
DeepSpacePirates 0.16.oxp

Any chefs of mayhem out there ready to cook me up a whuppass gumbo?

Hmmm. I would just say congratulations, commander. If you are playing with all these (especially behemoth and behemoth_spacewar, military_fiasco, renegades, thargoid_wars and thorgorn_threat) you have basically seen it all. That's where all the hard enemies are.

So from there on the next step would be to go scripting yourself and create an uber-adversary to your liking!

You could try the Assassins missions. Theres are way tougher than anything you'd normaly meet in the space lanes.

I suppose I could liven things up by becoming a fugitive, but I like to live clean so I can take on those Random Hits.

I do enjoy those fools at the pirate coves... take out a few of the pesky buggers, dock at the cove, sell the scooped pirates back to themselves plus any other booty, refuel, launch, rinse and repeat. And to add insult to (their) injury... blast the cove outta the sky (shame all the trade goods don't float free... p'raps I should try using my mining laser instead)

I will look up the Guild when I get to G7.
In the meantime, I have my hits, and interesting things going on in the NE quadrant of G2.

i think like a year from now, given my development speed, there will be...

I cooked this together for some time now, since 1997... the name is secret, the content is secret.

you will need all your wits and Equipment.. along with some new ones... all i can give you is a radio message picked up in galaxy 8, originating from 2 Viper Interceptors. Location unknown...

Viper I 2, yeah i hear it, but i cant make out what it is... my translator fails, not that, that surprises me with the budget cutdowns for maintenence..
Viper I 1: my translator cant make sense of it either and it has just been serviced.. i I dont like this...
Viper I 2:me neither, lets mark the spot and get out of here..
Viper I 1:wait, i´m still the commander here.. so wait up... gotta make a report first while i see it...

Viper I 2:you are getting to old to remember stuff ?
Viper I 1:yes, but not to old to remember i´m senior in command, so show some respect or look forward to have your record marked...
Viper I 2:Yes sir!
Viper I 1:oright got a good shot of it, lets head back to station..

Viper I 2:Oh crap, when you talk of the devil... i got 4 blips at 15 km, just appeared out of nowhere.. looks like a Gang of pirates..
Viper I 1:hmm maybe my IFF is broke.. i cant get a read on these
Viper I 2:neither can i, the same garbled information as the cargopod..
Viper I 1:let them be. break to get away from them, they seem to be something new.. maybe it is the military.. i dont want to be the one the uncover one of their secret projects...

Viper I 1: messaging base about all these unindentified blips..
Viper I 2: roge.... crap.. the blips are moving our way, fast..
Viper I 1:they will be intercepting us in 30 seconds.. damn they must have injectors.. wait until just before they come into firering range... then inject out of here...
Viper I 2:roger commander, injecting in 10 seconds..
Viper I 1:Damn, I got incomming missiles... what the hell are these... no pirates for sure, inject now
Viper I 2:rgr..
3 mins after
Viper I 1:we are outside theire range, stop injecting
Viper I 2:and good too, i´m almost out of juice..
Viper I 1: wth... i got 4 blips again
Viper I 2:i´m all out of options, we got to intercept...
Viper I 1:crap... get on my wing, take out the lead target first.. use your Hardheads..

message from base:Viper I Squadron Gamma, we have reviewed your message and photo, these ship are of unknown configuration, and origin, do not engage, do not engage.. we could deal with a possible first contact..

Viper I 1:Damn time delay, they are hostile, We got to engage... computer send that back...

Viper I 2:got a lock... wait, failed lock...
Viper I 1:got a lock, wtf, failed lock. Switch to Visual, engage with your laser. evade while i use my juice to out manouvre them
Viper I 2:roger commander.., they look really odd, almost no profile...

Viper I 1:Bastards, Basterds, i´ll f**** kill all of you.... bastards...

Message from base:Disengage, eject if need be, we know it is a hard decision...

Viper I 1:Base, they just killed young Jameson while he was in an escape pod, are you kidding me... these damn ships cant be locked in target computer, they seem to carry no cloak, and you want me to disengage.. request denied, computer send that..

Holy Bit! Did that really happen? What was a jameson doing in gal. 8? If that did not happen, could you make it happen in an oxp? If that did not happen, you are vary creative.

Greetings,

And this Thargoid is in conference with our superiors to perhaps bring some of our new ships and missions into your galaxies soon (but not too soon, other stuff on the go atm), although it does depend on reviving my ancient JS coding skills, last seen being munched on by a trumble...

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:29 am**

Nice one Frame, looking forward to the OXP.

One little nasty is missing in your list: weeviloid2.oxp. This oxp is from the master himself. Aegidian wrote it as an example of how to make a ship with multiple lasers. Somehow I find the ship more difficult than those in military-fiasco. I think it is because I have more troubles with keeping it targeted.

Galactic Navy can be rough on fugitives... especially when you accidentally jump in to a SecCom system unawares.

Posted: **Tue Jul 15, 2008 12:50 pm**

With Joinable Pirate Clans i intend it so that you can be attacked by mass pirates even if you are in a safe system (if you are unlucky), while possible being barred from docking at stations therein.
