2 27,820 -129,164 5 Cruncher Viper X
5 13,182 1,658 5 cougar Imperial StarShip
6 12,491 -20,495 5 Xanos Viper X
9 4,606 1,741 5 Timberwolf Imperial StarShip

We should have been penalized 435, but were not.

1. How much did you lose?
2. Are you sure that the above were current at Extern?

But seriously, a few days ago when my exp and alignment was not that high (low) we were getting the penalty, and it showed the first time I logged into the game that day.

But seriously, this stuff has been known for a long time now. It's not a bug, it's PEBCAK.

PEBCAK ?

You guys have created so many new acronyms since I last played, I sometimes wonder if we're talking about the same game.

Uhm. This is an old acronym.

PICNIC is problem in chair not in computer, and these are old acronyms indeed...

OK, Now my opponent has played pod wars, has a red an blue max align and after extern they both have 0 exp. This is what I would expect to see happen. My question is where's the breaking point? At what point do you start getting the penalty?

AND is the red wth 0 exp, max alignment now fed safe?

This just really sounds like it's distorting the game, seriously. Back in the day we'd play red/blue teams, never mixed corps. We'd play pod wars to get our blue's alignment up, but the red would also gain exp.

This mixed corp is too easy, mega rob bug is too easy... seems this game has lost some of it's challenges.

My question is where's the breaking point? At what point do you start getting the penalty?

Take the highest blue, lowest red. Of those two, take the one with the less "extreme"
alignment (higher if red, lower if blue). Take that, divide by 4. That's the experience
lost at extern. This only applies to people that are not #SD#.

So if you've got a blue with 2000 align and a red with -50,000, you can expect to
lose 500 exp.
