  Name your ships in this format <Clantag> <Name> <date>
  Example:CEL Baraun 22/01/2015
  
• We will not support pistons, rotors or wheels. Build em at your own risk.
  
• Only 1 radar table allowed per faction.
  
• Only 2 heavy industrial drill allowed per faction.
  
• No right-mouse-button drilling allowed.
  
• Sadly but true ... no more projectors , they were fun while it lasted.

Every active faction gets the chanse to join with 1 large grid ship 7500 blocks. With active we mean who have their ships named with a valid timestamp. That ship and all its contents will transfer over to the new galaxy. There will be a blueprint made by admins to guarantee a safe passage.
Meanwhile there are valuable items such as rare sensor blocks being found at the scrapyard... never to late for a last battle..
Grab this chanse and become the strongest faction ready to rule the next galaxy!


It is a mistery for you to explore once we get there. The only thing we know is that there is going to be a eartlike planet where new engineers will have to start off from. (we are always listening to galaxy suggestions on the forum)

Kind regards,
Baraun

• The scrapyard is a final resting place for wrecks and inactive creations.
  
• Its location is between the 2 far moons in the mids of a small asteroid cluster.
  
• There will be new beacons eminating 50km when fresh cadavers have been delivered.

• When it has no power or medbay and looks like it is abandoned in space.
  
• A object is considered inactive after a week of faction inactivity.

• This is needed to prevent the server getting littered with unused ships.
  
• The more ships float in space the slower sim speed. We want good sim speed right?
  
• The cleanup will be gradually as we don't want to overpopulate the scrapyard and keep a steady flow going.
  
• Thus the existance of the scrapyard is yet unknown but will end when the cleanup is complete.

This is an initiative to grant everyone the opurtunity in salvaging what was otherwise never to be found. Enjoy this feature while it lasts.
Don't miss out on the occasional mistery "rare spawn hull's". ;-)

ps. The scrapyard could also become a conflict zone with a high mortality rate.
Ask question about missing/mistaken inactive ships to me ingame or on the Forum.[www.the-flying-dutchman.com]

Kind regards,
Baraun
