What people think about thermal scopes? Can the admin remove it from the server?

servers down for the night or just me?

• Added a very rare item that can scan a code lock. If the code lock has been used within the last 15 minutes, it shows the last three digits of the PIN code as a heat signature. This item is called "Thermal Scanner Pro" and can be used five times. You cannot buy it, but find it in industrial areas and vehicles service points.

A player named Okace was flying around in an A10 today, said he got money from 'friends with money'. Another player named Sea Otter found an Apache standing around today, sold it for 75 million. And obviously nobody is around because ALL the admins are playing Elite Dangerous right now and nothing is being done about it. This needs to stop because it is pissing off legit players like my friends and me.

I understand that you, Data and Jan, have a lot to do with the missions (which are fucking awesome!), but the admins are currently not doing their job. I was told yesterday to stop doing robbery missions because we were the only ones actually finishing them and we were using an armed strider to get around. I then explained how easy it is to blow up a strider with a rocket launcher for 500k, the response from the Admin? "well some people don't want to go farm for that' WTF kind of answer is that? I can understand that they don't want to be playing 24/7, but they can't all go inactive at the same time because the server needs admins.

Sorry about the rant, but the current situation is not good and things need to be changed. I am willing to talk with the two of you this evening if you have time.

I thought I'd gather some idea that our party had while doing these missions.

First of all, they are really cool and get the server to one spot so a lot of pvp going on and a lot of action. Since you added the vehicle restriction everyone has the same chance regarding the choice of weapons etc, so that's fantastic. Also changing the percentage to 3% was very good because some missions really take ages to complete or are impossible to complete because so many people are there, which is a good thing!

There is always space for improvement so here our the ideas we've come up with:

• the timer seems to bug out when there is lag, it resets without anyone coming close or a party member leaving. I assume this might be because when you move and it lags, the server thinks you moved further away than you actually did and this might cause the timer to reset. Maybe it's possible to only reset if a player hasn't been inside the radius for longer than x seconds (needs to be figured out).
• Similar to the above thing, right now the counter resets when a non party player gets closer to the computer than someone in the party. Due to lag sometimes it's not that easy to kill the player before reaching the computer so it might be better to somehow make it like this: Party A reaches computer first, starts timer, member from Party B gets into building, the timer stops (does not reset), Party B kills everyone inside A and THEN the timer resets and starts for B. Obviously it's our job to defend the building, but a simple freshspawn can just run into the building and kill the timer even if it's at one minute or something. Feels bad, man :D.
• It would be good if the building the computers spawn in are indestructible, don't know if this is possible for already placed building, but you could also just spawn in a building in random locations and give that godmode. Why? If the building gets destroyed it is literally impossible to finish the mission, because you're really exposed.
• The lag. My god, the laaaag. This was a mission in Jaroslav (see next point) after about 30 minutes: See all those white spots? Those are bodies and they kill frames. Solution: deleting bodies after x minutes and also for tactical reasons make it possible to hide bodies. After 10 minutes into the mission you don't need to get a gun first, you just run in, find a body with a gun and use that. It's just not possible for the defending team to gather up every single gun so a 'hide body' function as in arma 2 dayz mod would be cool.
• Last point: Disable possible mission spawns near spawnpoints. As pointed out in the upper picture, the mission was in Jaroslav, you could literally parachute right into the mission and that just made it a huge clusterfuck. Also not very good for humanity killing all those bambis trying to kill the timer :P.

This may sound like a lot of negative points, but as I said in the beginning, this is a true PVP mission and is a lot of fun! I think everyone can agree on that, so keep up the amazing work :) <3

Guys IF u don´t fix your issues pretty soon no one will play on the server anymore...

So please give some status updates or something what will happen to the server in your opinion...
