    "one Mothership will be placed in the auction every 24th hour until MindArk deems there are an adequate number of Motherships for the current space and Entropia Universe population. There will be no prior notification that MindArk will stop releasing new Motherships to the auction."

    Bye bye dream about having UL ship
    very nice writen
    we got limited amount of them prepared (70 hangars +..mabye30 to give away)or (until BO goes under some amount of PED(we know MA ...100k ped ?)

    lets hope those fregate and destroyer will have some UL too

    and about PvP ... interesting fun in UL s
    ... oh no no no not again in ,L

    it will be uncolored and untextured ,L space junk flying out there at least for beginning
    why color or texutize something that will be ussles whitin few hours

    I'm not expecting an ATH in the coming days so I guess my chances will be negligible also.

    And what I don't like is all the current Hangar owners getting so many privileges for doing nothing at all, haven't they gotten enough already?
    They had to do jack sh*t past year and a half for piles of free PED coming from the insane TP fee we've been paying, now when hey release space and hangars start working again they get most likely over 500.000 PED worth of extra's!!! Nice ROI.....

    I'm more interested in the fighters, will they be able to attack ground targets? Will they have enemy ships, other than PVP combat to fight in space? If the Oratan got to Arkadia from space they need ships too..so that's an enemy to fight. Then of course will mining in space be available ? Lots of questions, so this is at least something big coming, we'll wait and see.:huh:

    I don't own a hanger but, in their defense, they've had no use of their assets for quite some time. They've had no ability to sell or trade those assets. They did receive an income stream. How would you feel if your top asset was essentially frozen for years? I bet you'd be on the forums 24/7.

    If I don't get one of the motherships, I sure hope I can use my component bps I've been skilling for years waiting for this day. That would be sweet.

    Like I said, if I knew this was happening I would so be a hangar owner. It might be their top asset, and it only got better when rendered completely useless and gaining MORE income than ever before while doing nothing but sitting back and relax.
    The object is useless, the asset got even more useful!

    From what I've heard, the TP fee's being payed out by MA are a bigger paycheck than what you can make on profit flying your ship 8 hours a day.

    I'm sorry but you heard very wrong.

    The payments are about 10-20% of what a full time pilot could earn.
    You could actually make more by just renting the hangar out.

    For the medium fighters are we only to hunt the mob that appear during the wave spawn for the event or can we kill them wherever we find them and whenever ?

    @Dante

    Some have bought these hangars back in 2007 and even earlier with the promise of great things to come which didn`t happen yet. Money was invested there all this time.
    Don`t you think investment deserves a payoff?
    The ROI so far is negative due to loss in value since 2008 and hit taken due to devaluation of $USD.

    I've not seen or heard anything about wave events on Arkadia, the Shinkiba on Calypso have waves already though.

    Also note: MA have updated the information HERE, on Arkadia we can also hunt the fishies as well as Halix :) They also clarified that teleporters between planets will be turned off when space is launched.

    LOL...if I knew 20 years ago what I know now, I would have retired 10 years ago even if I only had 1 pec to start with. Hindsight is 20/20, unless you ask two people in which case you'll likely get at least 5 opinions of what happened.

    I have no clue what tp income has been compared to what full time pilot or hanger landlord could have made . You missed a few things in your "if I knew" post.

    People invested upwards of 10k - 100k ped in their hangers. They may have had income over the past few years but...

    a) MA could have gone bankrupt in the meantime.
    b) you don't factor in opportunity cost. i.e. the owners have had to sit on their asset with x% income per year with no chance to trade it for a land area if that's what they wanted or to pursue other opportunities. They've been locked in....

    Lee you read that wrong ..

    This means that statement is wrong..We will still be able to telport.. they are just adding the option to use space to go between planets if you are into all that they will be offering to remove more ped from your cards.


    As far as active pilots only getting 20% of what they could get in an 8 hour shift...Thats crap....25 ped x 4 passengers...1 to 4 hour waits to fill ship..even if they made 3 trips every 8 hours after paying decays and oil from what they always moaned about that left little return. So they are making better return doing nothing... Specially the ones that have ships that NEVER freakin used em. There were MAYBE a dozen truely active pilots that worked their investment. The rest were private use OR never got used.

    "We will still be able to telport."

    Err, what part of "Teleportation between planets will disabled when space is released" is vague? I read it as "Teleportation between planets will be disabled when space is released" which means you will NOT be able to teleport between planets when space is released.

    Hi Arkanoid, you can hunt the mob (note: maturity) wherever you find them.
    To clear the doubts, there are no special wave spawns of Halix or Jori.

    How can you say that when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about?

    I want you to tell me 2 things..
    1.How much could a full time pilot earn?
    2.How much have the hangar owners been getting from tp fees?

    Actually dont worry,I'll tell you...
    Before Arkadia was released the average tp fee payment was 30ped per day.
    That equals 900ped per month!
    Do you know what I was renting my hangar for?
    Let me tell you it was more than that with a profit sharing arrangement on top of that and the pilot always made profit over and above the rental arrangement.
    FFS I could have just rented it out at a flat 2k/mnth!.

    The ones that never used them are making a killing but the ones who actually worked them or rented them out so they could be worked are a lot worse off.
    So please stop telling me how much extra money I'm supposed to be making when you clearly have no idea,it gets very frustrating.

    This is correct. Once space is released, teleportation between planets will be disabled.

    Mmm... so now if you want to change the planet, you will have to wait long in a queue to get to a ship, pay as much as pilot would want and then put yourself in a danger of being killed in PvP and get stuck at some revival in space and probably looted.

    Sounds like fun...
