Want to find someone in a hurry?

{enter}
First few characters of your name
{tab}
You are now PM-ing yourself
{ctrl-g}
First few characters of target person's name
{enter}

That will give you a 'go-to' order. Autopilot will get you the rest of the way. iirc, you'll want to hit {enter} again, and use {tab} to cycle back to the team channel, otherwise you'll be talking to yourself the rest of the game.

Also, knowing how to read the minimap is important - you could just scan sectors with friendly dots in them till you found the bbr icon.

+++Edit. Oh yeah, sounds like the boot was unjustified.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

Not much to add here except that a nan is usually a scout with a nanite gun mounted. You shoot the nanite gun at a friendly ship and it heals damage. One faction, Belters, can mount most weapons on most ships. So instead of a nan having to be a scout you can have fighter nans (fignans), interceptor nans (intnans) and stealth fighter nans (SFnans). Generally the fig is more durable than the scout so is a good choice for nanning. However it can't drop mines as standard which is the scout nans best weapon.

I've got a red Mazda 6, myself. Base model, though. Not QUITE as fun... but still fun /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.


Sorry about your boot, nevearo. Perhaps you launched in the wrong sector? He most likely still shouldn't have booted you because you're a (#). But that might've been what upset him. Keep it up, though... as Grimm said, you seem to be grasping the game mechanics pretty quickly.

I actually took the Mazda 3 out for a testy but I need more balls.

There's a new Mazdaspeed 3 coming out soon. It basically takes the engine from my car (280 hp) and shoehorns it into the Mazda 3 hatchback body. No AWD unlike my car, but if you can maintain traction that car will be a rocket.
