When people talk about their spouse's financial abuse, it always seems to be the 'ex', in which case it's easier to take action. I've just learned that my current spouse took the title for our jointly owned vehicle and used it, plus my forged signature, to take out a title loan and of course, never paid it. I just want the car back. I was supposed to begin a new job soon. (We paid the car off several years ago, by the way.) Problem is, I can't acknowledge this with the bank, or I may never get the car back, plus my spouse is likely to end up in deep trouble for forgery and opening an account using my name. If he gets into trouble, then we lose the apartment. We have pets that live in our home that will suffer. I'm finding it too difficult to be the one to bring all this down by merely trying to make it right.
He's really crippled us, in various ways, financially. He lies every day and I never know what's really going on. I used to work and in fact, be the primary income (many years), until too many similar incidents broke me. He's lost two other cars (which I purchased and he refused to care for), with the same tactics of doing whatever he wants besides paying the bill or letting anyone know he hasn't.
Note that this is the kind of person that produces fake receipts, etc. It's very dangerous, it turns out. Thanks to this person, I've now got a life that looks too similar to the messes taking place on a show like "Disappeared" or whatnot. Very uncomfortable. It's gotten to the point I'm actually scared, and really the only way out is to have my car returned for starters, but I'm forced to play this game of saving everybody's life by waiting until the spouse's next payday to see if they will actually pay up and have the car returned. After that, I may still have to report.
It's very frightening. This incident is much more serious by comparison, than in the past, and over the last few months, has just been spiraling out of control and I never knew. I've been looking forward to finishing my degree and I've also been contributing efforts to my own business which has paid nicely and I've contributed that to our relationship. It's gone. Just two weeks ago we were talking of progress and a week ago, I find out a bunch more bad information.
If he's done this, there have likely been other forgeries and for who knows what? I have no way of knowing. This person has really just put a lot of effort into tearing down our lives. I wouldn't want to see them suffer more by going to prison. They must be terribly sick already. The laws are not made -- still today -- to help an individual. If I report, I get hurt worse. If I don't report, it could be worse in five years. Every turn here seems to support him and not me. That's right, I'm the wife.

L-Arginine – essential amino acid to boost nitric oxide production
Tongkat Ali - Eurycoma longifolia (Common Male Enhancement Ingredient)In the world of natural medicine, most plant life can be used to assist Nature in restoring a normal human condition. In the sensitive area of erectile dysfunction and male virility, there are many options available to aid and assist in regaining strength, performance, and regularity of the male reproductive system. One such assistance comes from the plant Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia). Originating from Malaysia and areas of Southeast Asia, it has long been used as an aphrodisiac. The Tongkat ali tree can grow to up to about 36 feet in height. All parts of the Tongkat Ali tree have been used to treat the male sex drive, while also acting as a tonic for general well-being. Physical trainers and athletes have also been known to use Tongkat ali to safely increase testosterone levels for increased muscle mass and definition.
This testosterone-enhancing herb is used to build up male libido, as well as combating fatigue, and strengthens the muscle and blood circulation to ensure proper and enjoyable sexual activity. Tongkat Ali has been shown in studies to increase testosterone levels in males up to 93%. In a study from the Reproductive Research Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, men between the ages of 31-52 regularly took Tongkat Ali. Results indicated increased testosterone levels; thus improving libido, energy as well as muscle mass (Source: Excerpt from Molecular Biology of the Cell, September 1, 2002) While there are many other benefits to this plant, the more popular use of this is to address sexual concerns. It stimulates sex drive, appears to thicken semen with increased sperm count, reduces incidences of premature ejaculation, and aids in maintaining erections.
Although no studies have recorded side effects or contraindications, there have been incidences of patients describing experiences of insomnia when taking Tongkat Ali in high doses. One might notice a full-body flushing or warming sensation while ingesting a higher dosage of the herb, and this can be attributed to an increase in body temperature and increased blood flow. As with any form of medication, one must exercise caution and be careful not to abuse the remedy. However, a side effect that will not happen are those aggressively long erections that stay long after sexual activity had ceased. Based on this fact, Tongkat ali is an excellent natural alternative to sildenafil citrate, the active chemical in Pfizer's Viagra. One product on market that I have studied in detail is Capatrex natural male enhancement, developed by biochemists and nutraceutical research analysts. They use and feature the highest grade Tongkat Ali, specified at a 100:1 extract ratio. In discussions I've had with their development team, they seem very knowledgeable on the precise proportion and administration of the herb in their patent-pending sexual delivery blend. They seem to have a sharp focus on how to couple the effects of Tongkat Ali as a libido booster and testosterone enhancer with other effective herbs. I was very impressed by their extensive knowledge and research. If you are considering taking Tongkat ali to assist with sexual function or to combat erectile dysfunction, Paramount Nutraceuticals offers an excellent formulation with its Capatrex natural male enhancement product. I highly recommend taking a look at it. Tongkat ali can have stronger and more noticeable effects when combined with other herbs that support enhanced capillary action, circulation, and libido. 100:1 extracted Tongkat Ali as found in Capatrex's proprietary male enhancement formulation will directly focus on these areas of male sexuality, and seek to promote a healthy sex drive and tone the reproductive system. Capatrex is available through Paramount Nutraceutical's secure website at www.capatrex.com. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, you should always consult a physician before taking any herbal supplement. Capatrex should be an excellent and effective natural alternative to Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. Maca - Lepidium meyenii (Common Male Enhancement Ingredient)In the world of natural medicine, most plant life can be used to assist Nature in restoring a normal human condition.
Maca is a biennial plant that is native to the high Andes of Bolivia and Peru. It is notorious in those regions as an aphrodisiac. The Maca plant is related to the radish and turnip, and were harvested and used as a root vegetable in cooking. It's also grown for its fleshy hypocotyl which is used as medicinal herbal. Historically, Maca was eaten by Inca warriors before going into battle, and also used as a form of payment of Spanish imperial taxes. As mentioned previously, the hypocotyls was used as food, however, the leaves are utilized as well. Both the hypocotyl and the leaves are used and can be fermented to produce a weak beer called chicha de maca. Both humans and livestock eat Maca, which suggests that risks from consumption is very minimal. Maca is being recognized by health professional today as a wonderful herbal extract to give to patients who suffer from sexual dysfunctions, ranging from low libidos to erectile problems. In a human study utilizing maca root at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, in Lima, Peru, the twelve-week trial in which treatment with different doses of maca was compared with placebo, indicated an improvement in sexual desire at 8 weeks of treatment. The subjects were men ranging in age between 21-56 years, and were each given 3g of Maca. The University also conducted another trial, this time a 4 month oral treatment with uses of tablets of maca. The semen was analyzed in male subjects between 24-44 years of age. This trial showed evidence of increased seminal volume, sperm count per ejaculation, and sperm motility. In 1998, Dr. Qun Yi Zhen and his colleagues at the PureWorld Botanicals discovered 2 new compound groups in Maca: the macamides and macaenes. These agents are believed to the responsible for the sex-boosting powers of the Maca. To test the idea, the scientists conducted a series of animal experiments, of which the results were published in the April 2000 issue of the medical journal Urology. The rodents that were fed extracts of Maca demonstrated an increased level of energy and stamina. Another impressive find was the increase in sexual activity as compared to rodents that weren't fed Maca. In human studies, results indicated in both men and women with low libidos, an increase in sexual desire; men with erectile problems noticed a clear improvement in sexual function. U.S. toxicity studies of the maca root shows absolutely no toxicity and no adverse pharmacologic effects. While there have been minimal reports of insomnia, this side effect was a result of higher than normal doses. However, in the majority of cases, the more maca or maca extracts one consumes, the more benefits one gains from this phenomenal herb. Maca should be considered a core ingredient for any libido boosting supplement. Many male enhancement supplements on market today contain dosages of maca. When considering a product containing Maca for improved sexual function, one should look for larger therapeutic dosages of the maca extract. There are a number of these products that feature significant dosages of maca extract, but I've found the most intriguing one to be Capatrex male enhancement by Paramount Nutraceuticals. Capatrex successfully balances maca extract in the right proportion with other proven herbs including tongkat ali, catuaba bark, and tribulus terrestris to name a few. If you are considering taking maca or maca extract for sexual improvement, I would highly suggest trying Capatrex as an alternative because it should give you more noticeable gains. As with any herb or herbal supplement, monitor your intake and discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur. Capatrex male enhancement is known to be very safe, which is why I recommend it highly. Horny Goat Weed - EpimediumIn the world of natural medicine, most plant life can be used to assist Nature in restoring a normal human condition. With all of the help out there for erectile dysfunction these days, nothing seems more appropriate than the Horny Goat Weed. How can one go wrong with a name like that? Also known as Epimedium or Yin Yang Huo, this plant holds a high place in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is fast gaining popularity around the world for its potency. The Horny Goat Weed grows in the wild, at mostly higher altitudes, native to Asia and the Mediterranean regions. Healers have been using this plant for 2000 years in the areas of sexual dysfunction such as boosting erectile function, restoring passion, alleviating fatigue, and soothing discomfort from menopause for women. This plant has also been used to address disorders of the liver, joints and kidneys. Many species of Epidemedium have claims to aphrodisiac properties. They are sometimes sold as health supplement, usually in a pill form or raw herb. They are also blended with other supplements. The active ingredient in Horny Goat Weed is called icariin. They can be found in stardized extracts from 5% up 60% potent. One will usually find horny goat weed products which contain 10% icariin. Icariin is alleged to work by increasing levels of nitric oxide, which relax smooth muscles. One research indicated that icariin relaxed rabbit penile tissue by nitric oxide and PDE-5 activity. Another research demonstrated that with injections of horny goat weed extract directly into the penis of a rat resulted in an increase in penile blood pressure. This is also effective for women, as it increases blood flow to the clitoris. In the area of menopause, Epimedium brevicornum was demonstrated as one of the highest with estrogenic activity. It takes about 3-4 days before a user notices effects of the horny goat weed. There are no drug interactions reported at this time. Horny goat weed does not have any addictive potential. As for side effects, horny goat weed comes with the same cautions as with any herbs. Any reports of side effects usually coincide with high dosing, resulting in insomnia and an increase in rate of heartbeat. However, with 2000 years of medicinal use behind this plant, one can feel very confident in using the Horny Goat Weed safely and effectively. Catuaba Bark (Erythroxylum catuaba)This Brazilian wonder plant grows in the Amazon forest as a medium-sized tree. The bark itself is considered medicinal by the country's natives, as an aphrodisiac and stimulant, as well as useful for poor memory, nervousness and sexual dysfunction when using as a bark decoction. This plant has traditionally been used by the natives of the Amazon for sexual enhancement and to aid in erections. The Catuaba bark is one of most popular Brazilian aphrodisiac plants. The bark and the roots are used to increase libido, calm nerves and reduce anxiety. In addition to treating impotence, Catuaba bark has been used to treat and address many nervous conditions, such as hypochondria, insomnia, sciatica and neuralgia. A bark tea is used for impotence, sexual dysfunction, nervousness and exhaustion. There are no recorded side effects, and the long-standing use of Catuaba by the Brazilians proves this case. Catuaba is also shown to have be non-addictive. In 1992, a Japanese research discovered that Catuaba bark extract had potential antibacterial and anti-HIV activity. In the research, mice given Catuaba were found to be protected from E.Coli and staph infections. The HIV virus was also prevented from attaching to cells, as well as prevented the deaths of white blood cells that were exposed to the HIV virus. Catuaba contains alkaloids, tannings, phytosterols, cyclolignans, aromatic oils and fatty resins. In terms of dosage, drinking one to three cups of catuaba tea steadily over a few weeks is sufficient enough to achieve the desired results. Almost immediately, erotic dreams begin once consuming the tea, followed closely by increased sexual desire. The herb is known for dilating and relaxing blood vessels, thus assisting in gaining and maintaining erections. Other healing properties and actions include pain relief, and killing bacteria and viruses. For men who experience stress and depression, along with sexual dysfunction, Catuaba bark is also very beneficial, as it is showing up as part of formulations to address Depression, Stress and Nervous Disorders. This rainforest herb is also used as a tonic for overall health. There are many more benefits of this plant, such as addressing frigidity, tonic for the genitals, syphilis, fatigue, and general pain. But as an aphrodisiac is where Catuaba has gained its notoriety. The main form of preparation for Catuaba is by tincture or infusion. Infusion is well-known by most as "making tea", and is one of the easiest ways to consume this remarkable plant. The natives that use this herb simply place a handful of the material into a glass of room-temperature water, let the herbs sit overnight, and then drink the decoction in the morning. The other way to ingest this herb is by using Capatrex. As part of its formulation, Capatrex penis enlargement uses Catuaba in conjunction with other beneficial and safe herbs to address erectile dysfunction issues and sexual dysfunction in men. There are no contraindications or drug-interactions known at the current time. Yohimbe - Pausinystalia yohimbeIn the world of natural medicine, most plant life can be used to assist Nature in restoring a normal human condition. Erectile dysfunction is a serious affliction, and such, research should be put into the herbal supplements that one wishes to try to address it. Yohimbe has grown into a popular form of relief, but at the same time, there have been conflicting reports on its usefulness and safety. As an evergreen tree that grows in Africa, the bark of this tree contains alkaloids, the principal of which is yohimbine. Commercially, the tree is grown in Cameroon and Nigeria. It takes ten years for one tree to reach its full growth, and which time, the bark is harvested. When the bark is stripped from the tree, the tree starts to die. Due to this fact, it's safe to say that the tree has the potential of becoming an endangered species because of over-exploitation. Traditionally, the yohimbe was used in Africa to treat fevers, leprosy, coughs, and was also used as an aphrodisiac. In contemporary society, the yohimbe bark is sold as an extract to address erectile dysfunction and other sexual issues. As a natural aphrodisiac, the yohimbe increases libido and treats erectile dysfunction by relaxing and dilating blood vessels in the penis, which results in increased blood flow and erection. The dried yohimbe bark can be made into a tea, or taken orally as a capsule or tablet. Yohimbe can be used either daily, or in advance of sexual activity. It is more appropriate to consume this herbal supplement as needed one to three hours prior to sex, rather than taking it daily. It's important not to be too liberal with herbal supplements. The yohimbe effect lasts several hours. Yohimbe can have a stimulating property, so it's not advisable to take before sleep, as well as mixing with alcohol or stimulating drugs, including high amounts of caffeine. In clinical studies, yohimbe appears to work better for erectile dysfunction not directly caused by a physical problem. A study in Germany examined whether 30mg/day of yohimbine for 4 weeks could assist men with their erectile dysfunction, and found that yohimbine was found to 71% more effective than placebo. However, more studies into Yohimbe have produced conflicted findings. One study has found that yohimbe is beneficial for organic erectile dysfunction, while at another uncontrolled study, it was just as effective as a placebo.
In terms of safety, there are numerous reports of unsafe reactions to this herb. The FDA in the United States, as well as the German Commission E, both contain reports of kidney failure and seizures attributed to this plant. There are too many side effects associated with Yohimbe to even bother taking it for treating erectile dysfunction. While you may get an erection, you'll have other "surprises" such as rapid heartbeat, insomnia, anxiety, dizziness, and this is just from taking the normal dose of Yohimbe. A higher dose of 40mg a day or more can cause changes in blood pressure, hot flashes, nausea and hallucinations. Overdosing on Yohimbe can prove fatal. Muira Puama - Ptychopetalum olacoidesThe wonders of the Amazon never ceases. Another great creation from the jungle is a small tree called Muira puama, also known as potency wood. The native Brazilians and Amazon locals use this the bark and roots of the tree in treating sexual dysfunction, fatigue, rheumatism, depression, pain and hosts of other conditions. Muira puama is becoming popular in the U.S. and in Canada, as a use for treating sexual dysfunctions and female related issues, such as PMS and menstrual cramps. The root and the bark of the muira puama are used, as they are rich in essential oils, plant sterols, coumarin, lupeol, and muirapuamine (an alkaloid). Natives of Brazil create a root decoction for use in baths and messages, for treating paralysis. A tea of root and bark is used for sexual debility, grippe, rheumatism, and heart weaknesses. It's also used to prevent baldness – a vice for most of the male population. However, the main use and primary reason for using muira puama in Brazilian herbal medicine, is that it is a powerful sexual stimulant, and has the reputation as an aphrodisiac. Muira puama has also been shown to increase energy and enhance mood. However, there is still much research that needs to be done to verify these findings. Muira puama has shown to be a tonic, specifically for males. It also lowers blood pressure and prevents ulcers, due to its calming properties. There have been numerous studies that shows encouraging results in treating impotence with Muira Puama. One such study conducted in France, revealed that of the 262 patients complaining of sexual dysfunction, 62% of them claimed that treatment from muira puama extract was helpful. Using a daily dose of 1 to 1.5 grams of muira puama 4:1 extract, results were shown within two weeks. Another study indicated that women can benefit from this wonder plant as well. In a 2000 study, the mix of muira puama and gingko biloba was tested on 202 healthy women complaining of low sex drive. Improvements were evident in all areas of the sex act, including sexual fantasies, desires, and satisfaction. As with most herbs, the usual common side effect is insomnia. The muira puama induces alertness, so it's not a good idea to consume this prior to bedtime. One dose a day is sufficient, and it's also important to rest between pills by taking a day off every 2 or 3 days. There are currently no known drug interactions or contraindications. While there are many traditional methods one can employ to use muira puama effectively, the use of Capatrex's best male enhancement pill as part of your treatment is most effective. With the right amount of muira puama, along with other herbal medicinal ingredients, one can expect a safe and successful treatment of impotence. Tribulus Terrestris (Male Enhancement Ingredient)
In the world of natural medicine, most plant life can be used to assist Nature in restoring a normal human condition. The current claim is that Tribulus terrestris increases testosterone levels by increasing the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn stimulates the production of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). With increased testosterone, a body increases fertility and libido. Due to this claim, Tribulus terrestris is currently being promoted as a sex-drive booster. Independent studies have suggested that the extract form slightly increases hormone levels, though they continue to be within normal range. In animal studies, it has shown to be helpful in increasing sex drive. Sex behavior and intracavernous pressure (ICP) were studies in normal and castrated rats. An improvement was indicated in sexual behavior, along with an increase in mounting activity. Tribulus terrestris may work due to the relaxing of the smooth muscles and increasing blood flow into the penis. In this case, this herb may also be beneficial for abdominal colic sufferers. There have also been positive effects on bone marrow activity and the immune system. Chinese studies have discovered that this plant is able to reduce the frequency of angina pectoris; it contains anti-microbial and anti-tumor potentials, as well as lowers cholesterol and hypertension. There is also speculation that Tribulus terrestris contains anti-oxidant properties as well. There have been no reported side effects except from those users who've consumed high dosages, such as experiencing more energy, feeling warmer, having a slightly faster heartbeat, and restlessness. As in all cases of consuming herbal supplements, it is necessary to take breaks between treatments, and to exercise caution with regards to dosage. Taking more doesn't necessarily mean getting better results. With Tribulus terrestris, is can be possible to achieve results in as little as 45 minutes. It is best utilized in a combination with other herbal constituents. – such as Capatrex's best male enhancement supplement– which makes use of Tribulus terrestris, Yohimbe and Panax Ginseng, which work especially well together and all focus on addressing male erectile dysfunction. |

After a stint on 30 Rock as Jack Donaghy's high school girlfriend revealed Julianne Moore was more than capable of playing people who have accents from interesting places like Boston, it makes sense now that she'd be chosen to play Sarah Palin in HBO Films' adaptation of John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's book, Game Change. As a chronicle of John McCain's campaign for the presidency in 2008, the book also covers what went into the process of selecting Palin as a running mate and provides insight as to what it was like for McCain to lose the general election to Obama. Surely Moore will do a killer portrayal of the Alaskan hockey mom's mannerisms (one of which in the past has been cradling fish hearts in her hands), but she quite possibly might have to go back to TGS if she's looking to get help in nailing that accent.

While Ashley Judd was busy promoting her new television series, Missing, the media was focused on more than her acting – they were sparking rumors about her appearance.
The biggest question – did she have 'plastic surgery'? Afterall, her face is so puffy. She had to have done something. Wrong.
While Judd usually doesn't comment on the rumors in the press, she decided she could no longer sit idly by and wrote an article in the Daily Beast, slamming the media. She is tired of what all girls and women in our culture endure every day, the assault on our body image.
Judd ripped into all of the comments about her appearance – including how she must have had plastic surgery because she doesn't have wrinkles to being referred to as a "cow" since she went from a size 2 to a size 8. And of course – her husband was already looking for his second wife because she gained weight. In a word – RIDICULOUS.
Judd asks the question,
"Who makes the fantastic leap from being sick, or gaining some weight over the winter, to a conclusion of plastic surgery? Our culture, that's who. The insanity has to stop, because as focused on me as it appears to have been, it is about all girls and women. In fact, it's about boys and men, too, who are equally objectified and ridiculed" She continued, "It affects each and every one of us, in multiple and nefarious ways: our self-image, how we show up in our relationships and at work, our sense of our worth, value, and potential as human beings. Join in—and help change—the Conversation."
What do you think about what Ashley had to say? Enough is enough!!

"The Cylons were created by man. They were created to make life easier on the Twelve Colonies. And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters. After a long and bloody struggle, an armistice was declared. The Cylons left for another world to call their own. A remote space station was built......Where Cylon and Human could meet and maintain diplomatic relations. Every year the Colonials send an officer. The Cylons send no one. No one has seen or heard from the Cylons in over forty years."—Miniseries prologue
Until now!! Gaius Baltar a human has helped the Cylons launch a sudden sneak attack on the Colonies laying waste to the planets they once called home devastating their populations. Now the humans are fighting the old war with the cybernetic race of their own creation. The planets gone and the Cylons resurrection ship destroyed, they are forced to fight the never ending war. Forced to use the base star (Cylons), Battle star (humans), and their outpost as bases of operation they travel From system to system . Each trying to destroy the other and be the dominant race. The humans commanded by Commander (later promoted to Admiral) William "Bill" Adama. and the Cylons lead by "Number One" or John Cavil. Cylon or Human? Choose wisely for the fate of the galaxy's rest on your shoulders.
The main objective of the game is to control all of the systems and defeat the opposing faction. While leveling up, upgrading, fighting NPCs, mining, and a never ending stream of pvp battles.
This is for new players and high lv players both. There will always be a person with a higher (unless your #1) or lower lv then you. Don't steal mines from other players on the same faction as you. Share npcs there is enough to go around if not in one system then there is in another system. There are always rude players no matter what don't return the favor.
To the high lv players:
Remember that you were once a new player before you got the advanced ship with upgrades up the wazoo. Remember how hard it was to start playing a new game and get used to it. The new players that are under you are having the same difficulty's so be nice if they ask for help. You don't have to help them every time but remember it's the nice thing to do. If you can't help them politely tell them you can't.
To the new players:
The high lv's are not being rude if they politely decline. They have missions and need resources just like you. So be nice if you get declined there will be someone you can get help from. Sometimes you need to step out of the nest and learn to fly.
The DRADIS is your ship's radar you can find it at the bottom center of the your screen it looks like a red/blue circle, it will show you enemy ships, friendly ships, debris fields, planetoids, and asteroids that are in range of your ships radar. On the left of the radar there are two buttons one that looks like a world and one that looks like a grid map.
The world button is your sector map and tool to be able to go to other systems by FTL Jumping, the only way to travel from one system to another (Pressing 'N' will open your sector map). You can't fly from one system to another. Select a destination in your Red FTL range and press jump or 'J'
The grid map icon shows you the system's map that you are in. Through this you can see asteroid belts (big long lines and groups and other formations of asteroids) in the form of dots. You can also see enemies as red triangles, friendly ships which are blue triangles and drones and platforms show as grey triangles. Bigger ships like lines show up as 3 small triangles in a pyramid, and you can see the planetoids (the huge asteroids used for industrial mining). They are shaped like a hexagon, and if someone is mining on them 3 yellow dots in a close line will be a top of the hexagon. You can also use the grid map as a targeting devise by right clicking on the object you want to target.
The bar on the left of the radar shows your fuel/money amount which is how much tylium you have. When you have 20,000 tylium or more the bar will say at the top FULL (instead of showing a number). On the right of your radar is speed bar. To move forward you can drag the throttle bar up or down with left click to go faster (press 'E') or slower (press 'Q'). You can also use the arrows at the top and bottom to change your speed.
Next to the speed bar there are 3 buttons the top one has the icon of 2 ships back to back this is the follow friend button use it when you have a lock on a friendly ship (press 'Y'). The next has an icon of 2 ships side by side this is the match speed (press 'T') of a friendly ship that you are locked on. Under that is the booster button it looks like a sideways triangle with jagged flames. There is two ways to use your booster by clicking on the button or by pressing and holding the spacebar.
Under the radar are three target hexagons. The blue icon on the far left is for automatically targeting the nearest colonial (enemy for Cylons) ship. The red icon on the far right will automatically target the nearest Cylons (enemy for colonial) in range. Pressing 'X' will target your nearest enemy. The center icon will cancel your selected target or by pressing 'C'. At the bottom of the screen it a long bar that fills up when you get EP this is the level bar it tells you how much EP you have and how much you need for the next Lvl. On the bottom right shows you your ship with your equipped cannons and rocket launchers click able to disarm or arm. On the weapons there are arrows, they are numbered for using the hotkeys (E.g., weapon 1 = press '1' on keyboard). And under this are your electronic and computer items that you can use by clicking on them (Hold shift + the ability slot). These use power every time you use them.
The top left corner you will see the name of the system you are in and what the percentage of the outpost is at from 0-300%. there is a icon showing your username, level, the red bar is the ships hp and the blue bar is your power points watch your hp and power during battle to see when you need to get out of there. When you have something targeted it will appear In the top middle and show the name of the object and its hp and power if it has any, and the distance from you. The Level display of the currently selected target is color-coded according to the reward scaling system:
If the Level number is WHITE, you will receive full XP and loot from defeating the target
If the Level number is YELLOW, you will receive reduced XP and loot from defeating the target
If the Level number is GREY, you will receive no XP or loot if the target is an NPC or the minimum XP and loot (20%) if the target is an enemy player
On the top right of your screen you have a full screen button and 4 different camera modes to view game play and buttons to zoom in and out on your ship. To the right of those are the help, wing, hold, pilot info, leader board, options. Message log, log out, system map, and buy cubits.
When you dock there are 3 rooms the hanger, rec room, and the CIC. The place it always loads you in is the Hanger when you dock. In the Hanger you will find #8 Sharon (Cylons)/ Chief Edison (humans). Here you can sell, buy, equip, and repair like any other OP. In the rec room you will find captain Adama and Starbuck (humans). You find #2 Leoben and #6 Caprica (Cylons). You are able to get your daily assignments/ turn them in and get the prophecies (Cylon)/ triads (human). In the CIC you will find Admiral Adama (humans)/ #1 Cavil (Cylons). You can get the new player missions (6 in total) from the commander of the faction's fleet. Or ask to command the basestar/ Pegasus.
To get the rec room:
In either the hanger or the CIC click the door with the icon of 3 chairs and a table floating above the door to go to the rec room.
To get to the CIC:
In either the hanger or the rec room click the door with the icon [>_] above the door to go to the CIC
To get to the Hanger:
In either the CIC or the rec room click on the door with the raider icon (Cylons)/ viper icon (humans)
When you completed the tutorial or if you skipped it (don't skip it is the best way to learn how to play) you get to create your character. The first step is you get to choose a name for yourself but make a good long hard decision, because you can't change it. And please don't use any vulgar or offensive names because it will be changed. The second step is you get to change your character's appearance and sex (if you're a human this is permanent). The last step is to choose your ship out of the 2 basic ships a Viper MK II/ Raider for fighting or a Raptor/Heavy Raider for support and recon. The Viper/Raider has less computer modules but is faster and has more hull slots. The Raptor/Heavy Raider ship isn't as fast but has more slots for computer modules. After you have finished creating your character you are transferred to your faction's home ship the Galactica for humans (Colonial) and the Basestar for Cylons.

Global and Localized Channels
The chat system now supports 'Global' and 'Localized' versions of the Fleet, System and Open chat channels. Global versions of these channels are restricted to English, as before
Localized versions of channels allow players to chat in other languages, according to the client language selected from the drop-down in the upper-right of the game Website (where you login to the game) A small icon in the chat entry field shows which channel you are currently using for chat – clicking this icon will switch between the Global (represented by a globe icon) and Localized (represented by a flag of the appropriate nationality) channels
You can filter your chat window to display only Global, only Localized or both channels via small icons to the lower right of the chat window. There are now small icons to the left of the chat window that act as shortcuts for sending a message to the Fleet, System, Open and Whisper channels (note that these icons will automatically switch between the Global and Localized versions of these channels, according to which you have chosen to use via the icon in the chat entry field).
/ol OR /open, switches chat to open in which all messages you type in a specific sector can be heard by enemy and friendly pilots in that sector
/fl OR /fleet, used to send a fleet message, uses up one Comm Access item.
/w OR /whisper NAME , used to send a message to a certain player.
/m OR /mute NAME, mutes another player
/I OR /invite NAME, used to invite another player to a party
/h OR /HELP, shows chat help
- Enemies cannot come on your home map
- In a strike do not sit still and fight your avoidance is reduced greatly and you can be kilt faster.
-NPCs enemies only have an avatar of the ship and ship name instead of an avatar of a person and a user name.
- You do not get damaged when you run into things whether it's an asteroid or ship you just lose speed and bounce off backwards
-On the outpost ships and Colonial and Cylon home maps, the people with the coins and clipboards above their heads are the important people you are supposed to talk to.
-On the jump map, blue is CColonial controlled systems red is Cylon controlled systems.
- 3 red/or blue dots on a system represent active industrial mines (i.e. a mining ship)
- Don't use cubits on anything other than ships or upgrading ships. Because it's a very rare and valuable type of money.
- Always keep track of where you going using your radar
-You can't heal during combat unless you have a DC (Damage Control) system and DC packs that cost 1 dc pack and energy every time to use them but repairs damage during battle.
- Be sure to know if you shot the NPC/asteroid/platform/mining ship first, if you did not shoot it first you will not get anything for destroying it. But if they stop shooting it about 20 seconds then you can get the rewards for shooting it down.
- Mining skills should be the last skill you upgrade except the one to upgrade your scanner. The other skills are by far more important.
- When your ship hold is full sell the stuff that you don't need or put it in your locker. Your locker can hold infinite amount of stuff and can only be accesed at any OP or when on board the Galactica/Base star.
- Equipment does carry over when you upgrade your ship.
- no effects of the same type of buff stack you have to use one after the other. diffrent types of buffs do stack.
- When doing daily assignments, like asteroid recons, if you FTL jump out of a system and then FTL jump back to it or, dock with an outpost in the same system and then undock, all the asteroids will be "re-set" in relation to whether you have scanned them or not. Thus you can scan the same asteroids more than once and each time you scan it will be counted seperately. This can help when you have high level players stalking particular systems making it hard to complete the assignment without getting killed.
So you can understand what some one is saying without having to ask what they mean.

Click on the Galactica (Colonial), or the Basestar (Cylon) a [Dock] button will appear click it. (note: the Pegasus/base star in the systems where you buy ships cannot be docked on) To dock on an outpost ship click on it and when you are close enough (750) a [Dock] button will appear click it. After repairing the Hull of your current ship or switching to a different ship, there will be a 30 second delay before you can undock, while the repairs are completed.
Go to the Galactica (Colonial), or the Basestar (Cylon) (go to the hanger for these ships) or an outpost ship and talk to the person with a coin over there head and click them. Click the [buy,sell,equip] button. Here you can buy items by clicking the requisition button to buy. At the top click Hold then click on the item you want to sell, click salvage and choose how much of the item you want to get rid of. If you change your mind click on the cancel button.
The locker gives you a safe spot to put your valued items in for safe keeping you will only have access to them when you are docked.
Go to the Galactica (Colonial), or the Basestar (Cylon) (go to the hanger for these ships) or an outpost ship and talk to the person with a coin over there head and click them and then click the buy sell equip button. At the top click Hold. Drag the item from your hold and drop it onto its right spot whether it is a W: for Weapon C: for Computer H: for Hull E: for Engine (You can only use light equipment with light ships, ect,ect)
On the left next to the radar is a button that has an icon of a world click it and it will open up to show all the systems.(or press n) By left-clicking on a system a description will pop up. The description tells you information about how far the system is from your current one how much Tylium (fuel) it will take for you to jump And it's threat Lvl. Under the description if you are able to reach that system there will be a [JUMP] button right click it and wait for the countdown to finish. While you are in countdown mode you cannot fight because all your ships power is being used for the jump. Pressing 'K' will cancel your FTL and your power will recharge.
FTL drive charge times now vary according to the size of the ship, and the modifier to charge time when jumping while in combat has been increased:
Strike ships have a base 'jump timer' of 15 seconds (60 seconds when in combat)
Escort ships have a base 'jump timer' of 20 seconds (80 seconds when in combat)
Line ships have a base 'jump timer' of 25 seconds (100 seconds when in combat)
The Pegasus and Basestar have a base 'jump timer' of 30 seconds (120 seconds when in combat) (note: for group jumps the timer, costs, and jump radius are exactly what the leaders is)
Equip cannons (light for strikes) (long range, standard, or short range) choose the right ammo for your ship(light for strikes). You can right click on the cannon to change ammo. If your cannons are not armed push G to arm all your cannons. Your cannons are armed when they are lit up. To disarm them push G. (you can also click each one separately to activate). Multi-targeting lets u target more than one. Click on the target you want to shoot. When in range they will automatically fire you just have to keep the target in sight. When you have blown up the target you will get a reward click take all (or have the auto loot active).
Equip missiles launchers (light for stikes) (long range and general) (short range strikes only) chose the right missiles to shoot (light for stikes). Regular: Click on the target you want to shoot. When in range push F to fire all the missile launchers or click on the missile icon to shoot. Must be keept in range and arc of missile launcher. When they have reloaded push f again. Multi targeting: If your rocket launchers are not armed push f (or click the missiles icon) to arm them. Your missiles are armed when they are lit up. Will auto shoot the selected target, Must be kept in range and arc of missile launcher. When you have destroyed the target you will get a reward click take all (or have the auto loot active).
Travel to debris zones on most maps where there is lots of debris or a destroyed ship. (Not actual npcs or player ships just there for decoration) search for a bluish (some say its drab gray) (Looks like a shipping container) rectangular container box click it and click take all to get the items. They are great for selling the items to get tylium.
Click on the player and when the avatar shows up at the top center of the screen right click it. It will give you a list; add as friends, follow, info, or invite. To dismiss a player from group click the avatar and click on the button that says dismiss. You can also give up leader ship to another or leave the group. If you have friends you can see the list of them on your pilot info window and can click their names to send whispers and mouse over there name to see what map they are in. (/i 'name' will invite a player to a squadron)
Make sure you have the right mining cannons equipped (light, medium, or heavy depending on your ship type. strikes will have the light mining cannon)(or use regular cannons for those who have all the ammo they need and don't want to use the mining cannons) and a scanner. You don't need ammo for the mining cannons, but it is very weak if you use it on enemies. It's made to mine not to fight.(reason why many don't use mining cannons) Make sure you have your all mining cannons disarmed click on an asteroid and click the scanner when you get an asteroid that has a color other than red and it tells you there is something in it you can arm your mining cannons. Don't worry another player can't see your asteroid change colors unless they are scanning it at the same time. If you both scan it at the same time whoever shoots it first gets the stuff. If you are in range (600 basic strike range) it will automatically fire you just have to keep the target in sight. When you have blown up the target you will get a reward click take all to add it to your Hold.
If there is not a mining ship already on the planetoid. Go to it and when you are in range scan it. If it shows it has any resource in it a prompt will appear asking if you want to lay a mining ship. It cost 100 cubits. BUT BE ALERT!! When you lay industrial mines NPCs and enemy players will come to steal the mine or blow it up so be ready to fight. In fact an NPC will appear as soon as the mining ship starts mining and attempt to destroy the mining ship. It is a very dangerous but very profitable thing to do. Don't try to do it if you can't handle 2 NPCs at once. If you are on the enemy's side of the map and you plant a mine down you can be sure you will be attacked and most likely killed along with your mine. You're on their side of the map and you are practically inviting them to come and fight you. If you don't want to fight don't lay the mine. you can continue to receive stuff from your mining ship when you log off. as long as it isnt blown up by a player or npc.
This is needed when a group has added some other players to their group and want to have them get some of the stuff form the mine. So they have to let a npc pop the mine and retake it so that all members of the group can get some of the mine. It is normally told to everyone in chat to not mess with the mine or the npc attacking it. Play with honor Leave the mine and the npc alone and do not try to steal it.
To resupply in space make sure you have tylium to buy whatever you need. Click the button that looks like lots of cubits next to the dradis under the map button. Click the tab resupply. And scroll down to what you need. When you click the requisition button if you need more than one item like ammo click the spot where the number is and type in the amount needed. Click buy.
If you cannot take on 4 or more npcs at once do not attempt to do it alone. The freighters 'light' found in some of the low lv maps is mainly strike craft/'medium' found in some of the medium lv maps mainly strikes and escorts/'heavy' found in the higher lv maps mainly strikes, escorts, and lines. Lights are easiest and heavy's are the hardest to farm. The freighter will not attack you. The npcs that are with it follow the freighter like drunk drivers. Find the freighter and bring your group if needed and attack the npcs do not attack the freighter leave it be when the npcs that are following it are gone just follow the freighter. Do not attack it!! In a bit the npcs u just kilt will respawn behind the freighter. Shoot them and when they are all dead follow the freighter. Rinse and repeat. That my friend Is how you farm a freighter.
Push "O" on the keyboard or click the gear button on the top right side of the screen click the tab key bindings. Scroll through the ones already set to see what is there if you want to change a key binding just click the tab next to it that has the current key used as the hot key and push the button you want it to be set as. If you messed up and want to change everything back to normal just click the return to default tab at the bottom of the key binding window.
There is one person leading the fleet Ops. That person will instruct everyone what to do. Not having 10 different people shouting out suggestions in the chat on where to go. This confuses many people and most times makes the fleet get separated because they went to the wrong system. When you're in the system and going for the OP go straight to the OP do not:
Go out of your way to kill npcs, farm asteroids, kill mines, or lay mines down.
The last 2 lets the enemy know you are there, which you don't want. You want to be attacking the OP before they can form a good defense. And doing any of the above will separate you and others from the main task of killing the OP, it gives them more time to get more players in to defend the OP.
If you leave the new player protected systems you have a chance of being attacked. It is even a greater chance if you jump into your enemy's systems. If you leave your side of the map you are trespassing. So the enemy will try to kill you if they see you no matter what lv you are. If you are and are killed don't slander someone for killing you whether or not there a higher lv then you. Remember you're on their side so you're asking for it. Now there may be some people that will let you be but the best thing is to not draw attention to yourself.
The enemy does not take kindly to some one of the other side doing the following:
*mining asteroids * industrial mining * farming npcs/ freighters/ plats * taking salvage * or killing pvp (for the daily asteroid recon if it's in enemy territory always carries the risk of being seen and killed)
Doing these will draw attention to yourself you may or may not be caught and killed.
The sector control points are calculated from the faction's number of outposts and active mining ships. It does not represent how many players are online.
To upgrade your ship you need to go to the system Delta Canopis (Colonial) or 47 Tartalon (Cylon). Dock onto the big 'mining' planet (not the Basestar/Pegasus ship) talk to the man/lady with the coin on his/her head click the talk about getting a new ship. You will have a new window open of all the ships giving detailed info of each one. click the icon of the ship you want to upgrade and then at the bottom left there will be a button to upgrade click it and it will ask you if you're sure you want to. Click confirm.
To upgrade other equipment dock on the Basestar/Battlestar on your home map or any OP. Talk to the person with the coin over there head to click on the buy /sell/ equip button. You will see you items you have equipped on your ship click on the button under one of them that says upgrade when the new window opens click the right arrow to move it up a lv you want to upgrade it to. It will tell you how much it cost to upgrade click the upgrade button then the confirm button. You need to have skills trained in order to upgrade certain items. I.e.: cannons, hulls, electronic, computers can only be upgraded as high as the skill lv you have.
You need to be docked on any OP or home map ship. Don't sell your titanium keep it. You will need it to repair everything from ship to equipment and the bigger the ship and more damage there is you will need more titanium. Lower level equipment has low repair costs and higher level equipment has higher repair costs. If your ship drops below 20% durability there will be penalties until it's repaired. If a piece of equipment drops to 0% it can't be used until repaired. There is a repair all button at the top of the repair screen.
There are 3 different types of ammo standard (grey),15% +(green) ,and 30 % + (red) each costing more tylium and cubits as you go up from standard ammo to 30%. You may get ammo that you cannot use from shooting down enemy ships. You can sell ammo for tylium or save it. All light ammo works for any light ships cannons whether they are long range standard or close rapid-fire, all medium ammo works for any medium ships cannons whether they are long range standard or close rapid-fire, all heavy ammo works for any heavy ships cannons whether they are long range standard or close rapid-fire.
First off you should always keep enough tylium on your ship or in your locker to get from map to map. If you find yourself stranded with no tylium to jump there are 4 things you can do. Mine for tylium this may take a while. Shoot enemy NPCs and get stuff to sell, or search debris fields and sell the items gotten, and lastly is to be killed (LOL) and you will have the choice to go to the next closes friendly held map.
When your ship gets blown up, your ship and the equipment will get a certain amount of damage done to it. If you don't die but escape with low hp you will still get damage done to your hull just not as much as if you got killed. There is no XP or skill loss. At death there will be a window with the option to respawn in the current sector if it is a friendly held system or the next closest friendly system.
There are 4 Skill categories, Weapon, Hull, Engine, and Computer.
Start training your skills as soon as you start the game and have enough to train them. look at the skill training chart to see the cost and time to train them. You will be able to get some done quickly if you do the missions.
Every time you gain experience points you get the same amount to use towards training a skill. You can only have one skill training at a time. You have to train the first top skill next to the category you want before you can train the sub categories under it as you train skills you also unlock the ability to upgrade certain equipment types. The skills will still continue to train if you log off. The effects of skills will happen as soon as you click train. You cannot cancel training a skill so be careful and choose wisely. lv 85 is when you have enough exp. to train all skills.
Skills experience points needed to train with time

* About Anti-Spawn Camping Timer:
when you jump into a system you will have 10 seconds to start a clean jump out of the system if it is spawn camped before your ship actually spawns. making it easier to escape. this way you will not have to have the long wait time from being shot at and getting threat.
When in battle it will take 60 seconds to log out. When you are out in a system trying to log out you ship will turn off and sit still you cannot run away while you try to log out. you will stay still until the timer is gone and you are logged out or you were killed. When not in battle it is the standard 20 seconds to log out when you are out in your ship. When you are docked you can automatically log out. Note when you log back in, whatever system you were in at the time you last logged out is where you will start
Under the icon indicator for enemy's friends and asteroids will appear messages of what's going on in other system if it has heavy fighting, when a op is settled, has to retreat, or when a mining ship is under attack. Can also been seen scrolling at the bottom.
When an enemy is close the word "Threat" will blink above your dradis. If a missiles is shot at you. You will hear a bleeping noise and above the dradis you will see a picture of a missile for each missile shot at u there will be one picture.
Your ship has a maximum amount of 50 slots. But can carry unlimited amounts of whatever is in the slot. On any ship from the smallest ship to the biggest.
- Yellow is tylium the main money used and is also used for your boosters (so don't over use your boosters) and needed to jump from system to system. When you have at least 20,000 units of Tylium the fuel bar on your ship's radar will show that it is full. it just stops counting after 20k don't worry it's not really full.
- Purple is titanium used for repairing your ship and other items on your ship it is better to not sell this.
- Blue is water a very valuable resource. If you sell it you can get 1 cubit for 5 water.
- Red means the asteroid has nothing in it.
- Cubits are the game's premium currency. You can get Cubits from killing NPCs, salvaging, completing missions, or by purchasing it with real money. Some items/ships can only be bought with cubits.
Optimal range is where the cannons will do the max amount of damage.
Max range is the maximum distance the cannons can shoot but as it gets farther away it decreases in accuracy.
So say your cannons can shoot a maximum 900 and the optimal is 300 and let's say your cannons can shoot 20 max and 10 minimum. At 0-300 you will be shooting 20. 301-900 depending on your skill upgrades you will be shooting from 10 minimum as you get farther away the less you have a chance of hitting your target and when you do it will not be your full strength costing more ammo.
Missions/assignments are to help you get to know the game and see where everything is and how it all works. I know it's crazy but you actually have to read the mission log to know what to do.(many people skip the reading because they don't believe it is important) don't just skip the text or you will be stuck wondering how to finish the quest. There are 2 types of missions/assignments: (1) The Tutorial or "noob" missions given to you by the commanding NPC character in the CIC of the Basestar/Battlestar, and the daily assignments given to you in the CIC by Leoben (Cylon) or Apollo (Colonial). When you complete a combat assignment talk to Caprica 6 (Cylon) or Starbuck (Colonial) in the CIC, who will give you your rewards. When you complete a non-combat assignment, talk to Leoben (Cylon) or Apollo (Colonial) to give you your rewards. As you complete daily assignments and Level up they will get harder but pay you more. To abandon a tutorial Mission in progress click the Abandon button on the right-hand side of HUD – this will end the mission, which may then be attempted again by speaking to the relevant character.(for tutorial quests)
About daily assignments:
-Supply Allocation: Where you get a bit of gun ammo, missles, 1 com access, cubits, and tylium. From the quartermaster in the hangar of the main faction ship on your home map. The Supply Allocation assignment now requires that a pilot complete their Intercept Enemy Patrols or Drone Clearance assignments (it varies usually alternating each time) in order to qualify for their additional supplies.
-Intercept Enemy Patrols: Shoot down enemy NPC ships (not drones or platforms or other players). The number increases as you level up, but maxes out at requiring you shoot down 20.
-Disable Weapons Platforms: Shoot down weapons platforms you can usually find them in between planetoids (but are a pain in the butt to do if you're a new player you will need help to do them). The number increases as you level up, but maxes out at requiring you shoot down 5.
-System Patrol: Go to the system named and stay there until the number is reached (i.e. if it says 6 then it will slowly go from 0 up to 6 it's like a timer). You do not have to do this all in one go, you can do it in stages.
-Drone Clearance: Shoot down the amount of drones assigned. The number increases as you level up, but maxes out at requiring you shoot down 15.
-Salvage Recovery: Gather the blue rectangular cargo boxes found by debris fields on all maps. AS you level up, the required salvage to be recovered will become 10.
-Tylium Extraction: Mine the amount of tylium specified. Required amount is usually 15,000 units. Once you reach level 20, you no longer receive this assignment.
-Asteroid Recon: Scan the amount of asteroids specified on the map it tells you to go to. This maxes out at 100 asteroids to scan.
-Titanium Extraction: Mine the amount of titanium specified. Required amount is usually 10,000 units. Once you reach Level 20, you will no longer receive this assignment
-Disrupt Enemy Operations: Kill a set amount of players, not NPCs. NPCs don't count for this. You will get a reward of merits with the completion of this quest. Players 10 or more levels lower than you will no longer give credit for this Assignment, Duties or the Leader boards when defeated (Note that all players higher than Level 20 are considered to be Level 20 for the purposes of this calculations). The number increases as you level up (starting at 1 enemy player to shoot down), but maxes out at requiring you shoot down 10 enemy players.
-Disrupt Mining Operations: Shoot down the specified number of enemy mining ships (i.e. industrial mines). Usually requires you to shoot down 8 ships.
-Freighter Interception: Introduced in game update 17, this requires you to shoot down the specified number of enemy freighters. Usually requires you to shoot down 4 enemy freighters. Be warned, freighters have NPC escorts. Freighters come in light, medium or heavy size. The larger the freighter, the heavier and more numerous their escorts.

a advanced ships defult paint job is shiney , the non adv defult paint job is rusty.
there are 15 custom skins players may purchase in-game for the Cylon Raider, Heavy Raider, and War Raider, and the Colonial Viper MKII, Raptor, and Viper MKVII.
Pilots may purchase these paint jobs from the Fleet Shop, using the filter to find "Paints". Purchased paint jobs are transferred to the pilot's hold, or can be dragged directly to the Paint slot on the ship.
NOTE: Paint jobs are not salvageable once purchased.
Paint jobs may be applied to the Paint slot on their ships by dragging to and from your Hold or Locker – the same as with any other system.
In the Ship Customization screen (renaming ship/choosing decals), there is now a Paint tab. Pilots are able to browse, preview, and select the paint jobs available for their current ship here.
The system works by comparing your pilot's Level to that of your opponent
In all cases, pilots with a Level higher that 20 are treated as if their Level is 20 for the purposes of this system
If your pilot's Level is no more than 5 Levels higher than an opponent, you will receive full XP and Loot from defeating that opponent
If your pilot's Level is more than 5 Levels higher than an opponent, the XP and Loot you receive will be reduced, according to the following tables:
Both XP and Loot rewards from defeating opponents will now be reduced if you are significantly higher in Level than the opponent:
- The system works by comparing your pilot's Level to that of your opponent
- In all cases, pilots with a Level higher that 20 are treated as if their Level is 20 for the purposes of this system
- If your pilot's Level is no more than 5 Levels higher than an opponent, you will receive full XP and Loot from defeating that opponent
- If your pilot's Level is more than 5 Levels higher than an opponent, the XP and Loot you receive will be reduced, according to the following tables:
PvE Level Difference · 5 or less Levels higher – Full XP and Loot
· 6 Levels higher – 80% XP and 80% chance to receive each loot item
· 7 Levels higher – 60% XP and 60% chance to receive each loot item
· 8 Levels higher – 40% XP and 40% chance to receive each loot item
· 9 Levels higher – 20% XP and 20% chance to receive each loot item
· 10 or more Levels higher – 0% XP and no loot
PvP Level Difference · 5 or less Levels higher – Full XP and Loot
· 6 Levels higher – 80% XP and 80% chance to receive each loot item
· 7 Levels higher – 60% XP and 60% chance to receive each loot item
· 8 Levels higher – 40% XP and 40% chance to receive each loot item
· 9 or more Levels higher – 20% XP and 20% chance to receive each loot item
- Example 1: If a Level 9 pilot defeats a Level 2 NPC opponent, they are 7 Levels higher and thus will receive 60% of the normal XP and have a 60% chance to receive each loot item the NPC drops
- Example 2: If a Level 37 pilot defeats a Level 14 enemy player, the Level 37 pilot is treated as being Level 20, and thus 6 levels higher than the enemy player. They will receive 80% of the normal XP and have an 80% chance to receive each loot item the player's ship drops
- Note that in Squadrons (groups), XP and loot from defeated opponents is first divided among the members of the Squadron as usual, and then their individual Levels are compared to the Level of the opponent to determine any reduction in the XP or loot they receive

When you get into the higher lv upgrades and they are fairly even 1000+ use tuning kits they save tylium. Don't gamble if you don't want to lose all your cubits make sure you have enough tuning kits to do it at 100% to save tylium and a headache from losing a 50k upgrade at 98% not worth it.
When upgrading the Level of a ship System, you are able to choose between paying for the upgrade with Tylium and/or Cubits, or using Tuning Kits
Tuning Kits can only be used to upgrade a System by one Level at a time
When using Tuning Kits, there is a 'chance' for the upgrade to succeed
The more Tuning Kits used, the higher the 'chance' for a successful upgrade
The higher the Level of the upgrade attempted and the more expensive the ship System, the more Tuning Kits will be required for a given chance of success
If an upgrade attempt fails, any used Tuning Kits are lost
If you have enough Tuning Kits, you can increase the chance for an upgrade to 100%, guaranteeing success
Tuning Kits can be used to attempt to upgrade ship Systems above the previous limit of Level 10, up to a maximum of Level 15 (Note that upgrades above Level 10 can only be attempted with Tuning Kits – these upgrades cannot be purchased directly with Tylium and Cubits)
You can purchase Tuning Kits for Cubits in Fleet Stores
or receive them As rare loot drops from high level NPC opponents
Merits are treated as a resource/currency
Merits cannot be exchanged for other resources, and cannot be purchased
Merits can be earned in four ways:
-Completing the Disrupt Enemy Operations assignment
-As 'loot drops' from defeating enemy players
-defending an outpost you receive merits when a enemy dies near a outpost any you are near it.
-Defeating enemy Outposts and player-controlled Battle stars/Basestar – all players within combat range of an enemy Outpost (3000) or player-controlled Battlestar/Basestar when it is forced to withdraw will receive an award of Merits and XP
A pilot can earn up to 1,000 Merits each day (a 'day' is defined as the same 24 hour period used for Assignments)
Merits can be used to purchase unique rewards that cannot be attained through other means (e.g. nuclear missles). Initially, these include:
-Powerful ships – the adv. Viper Mk VII for Colonial and the adv. Cylon War Raider for Cylon
- To take command of the Battlestar Pegasus or secondary Basestar for 1 hour, or until defeated in combat (Speak to the commander of your fleet – Admiral Adama or Number One – to exchange Merits for the temporary command of the Pegasus or Basestar) DONT USE IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE FLEET SUPPORT!!!
-Improved nuclear missile warheads (Nuclear missile warheads can be purchased with Merits from all Fleet Stores and Archives)
Larger player ships will tend to drop more Merits (Lines will tend to drop more than Escorts, which will tend to drop more than Strikes).
Advanced (upgraded), Cubit-only and Merit-only player ships have a higher chance to drop Merits. Merits are treated as a loot drop, the reward scaling system will apply - you will tend to earn fewer Merits from taking down players more than 5 levels below you than you will from taking down players at or above your level.
Buy a merit booster 6k cubits. Do your deos (Disrupt enemy operations) for the day don't turn it in tho wait until a hr. or half hr. before new daily's reset. Activate the booster and turn your deo mission. If you have the daily for 10 deos a day you will get 900 merits just from turning it in. + the merits you got from killing the pvp. Then get your new deos when they refresh. Do the deo mission and turn it in you will get the 900 merits + whatever from the pvp and most likely max out. You need to wait 2 nights to do it again an easy way to max your merits out.
NOTE: You need to do this before the daily's reset because of the 1000k limit.
Perma death: where you died but the respawn box does not show up. Fix: refresh browser will reload into closes friendly OP.
No power: where you load in to system or log on and your ship has 0 power and it won't regenerate making it so you can't move or do anything. Fix: click the log out button let it go a few seconds then cancel it the power will start to regenerate.
Vanishing Character: Where you log on and you have to start playing all over. this is a mix up you have to make sure you always log on to the same server other wise if you log onto another server you have to start all over again on that one. you will still have your other account so you will have 2 accounts on diffrent servers. Just make sure you log onto the right server to avoid the "what the frack happend to my account?" question.
One of the most important things needed to have the game work at its best is to clear both cache browser and unity player after every update to make sure that no old bugs are there. It will take a bit to reload everything at first but you are reloading everything fresh and updated...and hopefully less buggy.
***ALERT!!! to get better playing and less lag turn star dust off , glow off, and turn off Wing Displays ***
Lag: when the game freezes suddenly and where you can't move or do anything for a certain amount of time.
The cause could be from:
Your computer not having enough memory to run the game, the browser you are using has not been updated or is not fit for gaming. Too many programs are running on your computer. You are using Wi-Fi instead of direct connection (a cord). You are downloading other items from the Internet. You have a virus or spy bot blocking part of your system. turning down the graphics and other effects + the glow will help playability.
The best steps to make sure you have fun are to do these things:
1: read the minimum requirements to play:
System Requirements 2: Make sure everything is updated
Mozilla Firefox download:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox Google Chrome download:
http://www.google.com/chrome Opera download:

It's time to look in the mirror – the mirror of history – and reassess the female behavior.
Throughout history, women have always been seen as a symbol of purity, the representation of goodness, and beauty – the incorruptible creature. They were trusted with the upbringing of the young boys who were destined to rule the nation. If women were not respected, they would not have been given such a high esteem in the eyes of men.
Hence when a woman was caught in immoral behavior such as prostitution, the loss of her virtuous nature (virginity), and adultery, they were highly condemned and punished by men. I'm not justifying the measures taken during these times, but I can certainly understand their mentality. For what they saw was the corruption of an incorruptible being, this is the origin of the double standard that is still present amongst the sexes in modern-day.
Thus, if women were seen as the epitome of purity and goodness, men were the corrupt beings – the ones who dwell within evil.
It is no wonder that poets, writers, painters, and artists of all kinds were highly infatuated with the female gender. For they were walking pieces of art and as such needed to be taken care of and men needed to become worthy of their attention. Men had to go to great lengths in order to become worthy of a lady.
Of course, equality was very much lacking in those times. And the need for women to be treated equality in any environment was a much-needed reform.
The role of women in history cannot be undermined and their struggle for equality has had its ups and downs. In over 100 years, a lot has changed in our society and the biggest leaps in social changes have probably occurred in the last 50 – 60 years.
Even though the women's rights movement started in 1848, it isn't until after World War I that we start seeing a real change in the role of women. While most men were abroad fighting, women took their spots in the workforce proving that they're just as capable as men to perform any task at hand. The movements were very successful in achieving more equality, almost equal pay, and less discrimination. Nonetheless, there's still a long way to go before women are seen as equals in all nations and cultures.
However, I'm certain that if the women that led those movements saw women today, they'd be utterly disappointment and embarrassed.
So, in a society were the modern-day woman is more educated and has more opportunities than her predecessors, why is it that men have lost the respect for women?
The younger the generation of women today, the more disappointing they behave.
Equality does not mean downgrading yourself to the point of losing all self-respect for yourself and allowing others to walk all over you.
The reason why I say this is because as women's rights started to gain more momentum a new movement surfaced – feminism. Feminism took equality to a new level. Instead of encouraging men to treat women equally and not discriminate, it fostered the believe that women could do anything a man could and they didn't need men in order to survive – while the latter is true, the former isn't fully true: both men and women are biologically different, each sex is designed to have certain advantages over the other in certain activities, but that does not mean one is superior than the other. However Feminism, in a way, feminism promoted the discrimination of women towards men, fostering ideas like one could do whatever she wanted even if society didn't approve – if men could get away with it, why couldn't women?
The effect of this mentality has been the loss of respect men have for women. Men no longer need to prove themselves worthy of a lady because they're now throwing themselves to their feet. Women – the incorruptible creature – is now the corrupted being. Thus by women acting like men, men have no need to respect women, and consequently, the message transmitted is that women don't need to be given more positions of power because they won't bring anything new to the table and they're as dirty as men are – or even worse.
So, ladies, next time to want to throw yourself at a man or behave like them, just remember that you're not doing anyone any good, you're harming your image and chances for success. Let men see how valuable and amazing you are and make them work for your approval not the other way around.
Thanks OM for letting me post in your site. My name is Lex Solo and I blog at Lex Solo's Political Rantings – come and discuss politics with me. This post was originally posted in my blog.

Hotel Steigenberger Makadi(5 stars)
Madinat Makadi Safaga Road Hurghada P.O. Box 178 Red Sea View on mapMy review of Hotel Steigenberger Makadi:
- Jun 2012
- 1 week
- Beach
- Hotel recommended
In July we were a week in the Jaz Makadi Bay View. We just want something relaxation and diving go. But it was just perfect. In the hotel are no children under 12 years old permitted, so it is extremely quiet. Furthermore, only 25% occupied, very pleasant, perfect service. Problem for us the food was ( general in Egypt), we were after 3 days really got sick and had to take antibiotics. I think not a lot of buffet, since everything after 1 hour are not more tasted fresh. Nevertheless has the kitchen best effort, in the mornings you could get yourself fresh Omelets or scrambled egg or crepes made, evenings there were a wide selection and additionally, a freshly prepared Meal at the grill. We have asked, why the kitchen tried, European/international to cook, instead of local specialties to offer. The next day was extra for us Egyptian kitchen brought to the table! The service is really first-class!
We were golfing right at the hotel, super teacher, great golf course.
As diving school we recommend urgently Aquarius instead of the from the hotel popular extra divers (extremely unfriendly DTS. Owner!). With Aquarius we were a day diving, super price, nice and competent instructors, good food freshly made on the ship. The sites were also super. The July was extremely hot but good for diving ( constant 38° ).
Also after conversations with other guests ( relatively young, pleasant audience, mostly German, no russians) we can this hotel definitely recommend. Apart from that we have also very positive of the newly opened Iberostar Saraya Hotel -much cheaper with apartments.
We had only half board instead of all inclusive, would have for us not worth it. … read hotel review

The story is based on the Brothers Grimm's Rapunzel.
"Long, long prior, in a period of mystery and mythical beasts, there carried on a young lady named Rapunzel, who had the most excellent, brilliant hair the planet had ever seen. At the same time Rapunzel's existence was a long way from brilliant. She existed as a servant of Gothel, a desirous, conspiring witch who kept her covered up profound in a restricting woodland, protected by the colossal winged serpent Hugo and encompassed by a captivated glass divider. Nonetheless, in a bit of destiny, Rapunzel's finding of an enchantment paintbrush heads her on an adventure that will disentangle a web of double dealing, carry peace to two fighting kingdoms, and eventually lead her to fondness with the great looking Prince Stefan. She succedes with the assistance of Penelope, the slightest threatening of mythical beasts!

I am interested in updating the TROYER family ancestry that is based mainly in the Midwest but reaches from coast to coast. In Australia, I've traced my husband's Irish roots: O'CONNOR, Hannan, Gilbert, Wilson, Farrelly, Pekin, Shanley and Malone[y]. The TROYERS were mainly Pennsylvania Dutch, and names included are Zug, Yoder, Schrock, Miller, Mast, Keck, Kauffman, Lehman, Hochstetler, Heubeck, Bontrager, Beachey and Anderson. Jacob M. Troyer was born in 1853 to Michael Troyer and Barbara Miller Troyer of Sugar Creek, Ohio.My matrilineal line is more difficult because Lew REYNOLDS is so common a name. His son Grover Cleveland Reynolds married Martha Saloma CLARK, a direct descendant of Gen. William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I believe that this is via his fourth son, Jefferson Clark, who revisited the route his father took some fifty years hence, and married a Nez Perce Indian in the Oregon Territory.

When I set environment with the instructions at: 4.4. Setting Up the Environment: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.6/chapter04/settingenvironment.html , I found the commands provided by LFS book can't set $PS1 value under Ubuntu 10.04 host properly. The commands is below: > > <code> > cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF" > exec env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' /bin/bash > EOF > </code> > > The issue is Ubuntu has a system-wide .bashrc file for interactive bash(1) shells, it is /etc/bash.bashrc. $PS1 has been set to PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' in this file. When the command above invoke "/bin/bash" to start a new interactive bash shells, /etc/bash.bashrc will invoked first, this $PS1 value will be seted. So, $PS1 keep as the format like "lfs at u1004b2-desktop:~$ ", not the format excepted by LFS6.6 book like "lfs:~$ ". Looks like debian and ubuntu hosts have the SYS_BASHRC definition set, which will source /etc/bash.bashrc before ~/.bashrc on non-interactive logins. Seems like the easiest fix is to move the PS1 setting to ~lfs/.bashrc, but it probably doesn't affect anything to leave the ubuntu settings. On the other hand, the whole point of that setup is to get full control over the shell environment, and now you have arbitrary things being set from /etc/bash.bashrc. Probably the only true way to avoid this is to build your own bash and run it. The other way is to run the interactive shell with --posix and ENV set. cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF" exec env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' ENV=$HOME/.bashrc /bin/bash --posix EOF Of course, you lose all the nice bashisms, though. -- Dan
