Available Restarts

Restarts are a way of making a specific type of character. There are player restarts (play as a nomad for example) and event restarts (used for in-game events). You can display a list of restarts with the “/showrestarts” command.

Player Restarts

  • PlayNomad - Play as a nomad, starts you in nomad space
  • PlayAI - Play as the Artificial Intelligence faction

Event Restarts

  • JunkRacer
  • ZoneRacer
  • Racer
  • PVPEagle
  • PVPSnac

Usage

  • “/restart PlayNomad” will restart your character as a nomad.


ID Power

I have tried to disable all all of the ID restrictions, but in some cases you may have to buy the ID that matches the faction of your ship. ie: ** If you buy a **Liberty Navy Fighter (Defender), if you have power/equipment problems you might need the Liberty Navy ID.

Mining

Weird Symbols on Commodities

What does this symbol on some commodities mean? Rockstar: I found out what the return symbol means btw, it means it can’t be sold to bases selling it, even if for a profit. However, it does let you sell it.. for the same price you bought it

NoReturnSymbol

In-Game Rules

We aim to have as few rules as possible, but there does need to be some:

  1. Don’t use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
  2. Don’t grief people
  3. No Camera Ship without prior permission.
  4. No inappropriate names, ie: slurs. I’m disappointed I even had to make this clear.
  5. Have fun

Griefing sub-rules/clarifications.

  1. You need to indicate with /tax at 4km+ distance with someone before firing. Simply select them and type “/tax”.
  2. No ambushing people as they undock or jump into a system.
  3. Player Bases and their Defence Platforms: Cannot be placed within firing range of jumpholes/jumpgates.
