  1. I'm gonna say a lot of things I had in mind from the very start of playing this game myself. Most of them aren't even ideas, just status reports.
    I noticed that in 3D mode the Elite design of the Aegis ship looks a lot brighter than the Citadel's or Spearhead's, and the lights are barely recognisable as lights. Is there a possibility of editing the design and making it a bit darker?
    Another thing about the 3D update... Was the swap of textures of a Boss Streuner and a Boss StreuneR intentional? I noticed they got swapped.
    Also, I noticed that map 1-1 has background 3D animations while 2-1 and 3-1 don't. I don't know if this is a specific-server issue or global.
    Thankfully (in my opinion), in 3D mode there is no tag/shield sound anymore and I am glad that was removed. HOWEVER, the shield animation is not as interesting as it was in the previous mode. It doesn't have a bee hive look anymore, just plain blue animation. Is there a possibility it could be a bit edited? I really miss that cool bee hive look.
    I noticed another tiny issue in 3D mode... On Pirate maps right next to functional gates there are asteroids with signs on them (for example: ONE WAY). While cruising, I noticed they move a lot faster than the gate, so logically it would mean they are located closer to us than the gate, but they are actually placed BEHIND the gates, so that means they are further. It makes absolutely no sense when cruising around in your ship and seeing it move a lot faster when it's far away. It would be nice if it was put in front of the gate.
    Now something about Settings and adjustments. Some people have really bad and weak computers and the Average Effects option lowers the FPS. Why? Because of those tiny particles floating around also known as space dust. For example, my laptop would be able to deal with all other effects except that one. Could it be adjusted that the dust is available at the High option of Effects only? I'm asking because I'd love to see my Pusat's engine trail and shooting effects.
    Another thing I noticed (I know this is on Global Europe 4 server only) is that the auction doesn't end at XX:00, but at around XX:39. The issue appeared after the Ammunition Expander was removed.
    Something my friend had in mind... a question about changing accounts. When he asked me to try this game out, he told me to choose the Global Europe server, but didn't mention the number 3.
    After I made some progress, we both realised we weren't on the same server.
    And after tons of progress on both accounts, and dozens of LF-4s and limited items, we were thinking about asking of the ability to change servers, but keeping the same accounts.
    Of course, for a specific price, not for free. However, I am pretty sure it's not something that would work out.
    Also, I had issues with Achievements. I have never unlocked the First Steps achievement even though I finished the tutorial and I never unlocked the Multi-Dimensional Pilot even though I tried out the game in 3D mode in first two weeks.

    I'm sorry if I sounded mean in any way, I'm just trying to make the game better for every single player.
     
  2. The auction time was set that way on purpose. If you wan to play on GE3, you will have to change to that server and start again.
     
  3. I don't understand why they would put the end of the auction in the middle of an hour, but alright.
    Also, yes, I know I would have to start all over again. However, /I/ am not going anywhere because I'm satisfied with the server I'm on. My friend would like to move, though.
     
  4. My same answer would go for your friend then. o_O
