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.

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.
