Calling me a terrorist? tsk tsk .. how petty of you.

Im a jack of all trades. (master of many actually). I never done piracy in 
the game, or shoot other players for the
sake of fun and pamper my ego feeling brave doing some small gnat that is no 
danger to me.

I fought in several wars, sometimes even odds, others vs supperior numbers 
and more experienced players. However,
I didnt sit down start cry for that reason, or start swear and curse at the 
players that wared us. Its all about accept the
game for what it is and adapt to the situation.

Actually, most pirates in the game would blow up ANYONE , just for the sake 
of be able to post another kill on some
glorified killboard some place. Also, most players heavily into the PVP 
aspect of the game doesnt use implants to enhance their attributes. So the 
average joe in the game who use implants and dont put him/herself into much 
risk and harms way actually tend to
train skills faster. Of course if you start today you cant really catch up 
with a 3 year old player. But, you can specialize in skills and still 
compete. Why? Because skills can only be trained to level 5, and even though 
someone with more skillpoints than you got more skills, he/she can still 
only train a skill to level 5 just as you. Also the older players didnt have 
implants, advanced training skills etc to use/train when they started out 
the game. Majority of the players are mid-range players. There is a very few 
"old veteran players" compared to the mid-range.

It was a reply to your comment about being able to handle yourself in 0.4 as 
it seemd like you could take on the world,
which just didnt sound right.

You currently have 221 skills and 43,639,919 skill points, wanna try me? -)
