So I log on to the moon solo that has been easily won by fluffhead.
I'm sitting on what was once a lvl 6 planet just hours ago, but which has somehow reverted down to a lvl 2 citadel.....


Now I'm hoping its just some sort of ****up, but everything else in the game is at the amounts they were at before...

I've gotta say, its some shady Butt ****.

Anything left in the MSL sectors- planet wise- will be reduced to level 2 cit at extern. Sure this isn't what happened?

yep, you left it in a MSL

now see this is the kind of information that would be nice to be POSTED SOMEWHERE!!!!

heh, well its good to know.

Boy I am Glad I never did that one .....lol

It is posted at http://www.tw-cabal.com, under the glossary entry for extern, item 12.

Extern: A lot of things happen at Extern, so I thought I would list them here. (see Midnight too) I will put them in order of occurrence later. **There is a lot more to add, I'm still fleshing this out. If you see something I missed, let me know. -T 7/3/02
1) Check for players with different alignments in the same corp. Apply penalties if needed.
2) Fedspace is cleared of Nav Haz.
3) Empty ships in Fedspace are repo'd. (unless locked in tow. see tip #4)
4) Players are towed for Armament Violations. (having more than 99 figs in Fedspace while off-line)
5) Check for too many players in a Fedspace sector. (Random off-line players are towed if the number of allowed off-line players is exceeded in the sector) (not TOTALLY random
6) Reset Tax time.
7) Reset Grimy Trader Curse.
Recover deaths (2 pods).
9) Reset Jettison Collies.
10) Reset Alignment loss for breaking into another corp.
11) Clear busts (if it's the right day. In MBBS mode, it happens here daily)
12) Player Figs and Mines are cleared out of MSL's. Planets with Cits in MSL's are reduced to LV 2 Cits.
13) Planets in overloaded sectors collide. Only 2 planets collide per extern.
14) Destroyed Class 0 and 9 ports rebuilt if the radiation is gone.
15) Nav Hazz clears/reduces
16) Port construction advances
17) Players and Corps timeout. Remaining assets go rougue

Just got to read the fine print

I remember 1.03 when people could leave planets in MSL sectors and it didn't give them a level 2 citidel penalty. Hapless traders got blasted by Q-Cannon blasts. I am also glad to see that the Stardock doesn't do any NavHaz, but other FedSpace areas can get NavHaz like 3 or 9. Which I noticed in Alien Base. Nothing like visiting sector 1 and losing 1000 of your shields.

Quite frankly with all the mega-corps out there, I'm lucky that nobody has podded me yet on Alien Base. I'm seeing a lot of SDs out there. I'm always clearing away sector figs from the Stardock and from near Sector 1 every time I play. Which recently turned me from Red to Blue. No more SSM for me.

this was at the game bbs by the way, just had the two confused for a second.

Honestly. Dude be real sure unless you are doeing what I do just to get someones goat that you smack on the right people. You can do damage to one. I am sure that you wouldn't really want to hurt some one that didn't deserve it. Alien Base is a True Stand up server.

Game BBS is a "true stand up server" also. This was a classic case of someone who didn't understand something in the game, and immediately became suspicious of cheating. Suspicion is a GOOD thing. False accusations are a BAD thing. Lesson learned, I hope, find out the facts before making accusations.

Yeah lesson learned alright, and that one will not happen again....

I hope.
