Hi everyone, sadly my first post in this community has to be a negative one.
Today the 25th of march, at 06:05:00 ish Servertime i spawned in to the MV, UGTO side, earth with Sixkiller. And we found Earth´s Starport (Earth Central Market) scrapped.
You people can image we went crazy about that. Sixkiller was probably so much angered about this that he left server after i rebuilt the port, as we noticed: Oh yea, and ALL the stocked modules are gone too.
All UGTO players that played the last days knew earth was a tad low on specific minerals. Some of us struggled to fix that. Now after ive rebuilt the port and put in the few basic mods i could into the factories. Earth was dry on the troublesome mineral, yet again. I hauled huge loads of it over from another planet(yet again), so i could produce more basic things and people spawn in ships later. Sadly i couldnt do it long, as i have to attend my dads B-Day party now. Ya should be happy tho ive peaked in early today and fixed what i could. And yes, of course i also filed a short /report. No Mod/admin was online tho at the time.
Long talk short. This was either a new guy pushing the real wrong button, in which case id recommend setting earth govern rank to Captain at least (guess ppl know what thyre doing by then.), or was the worst case of sabotage ive seen so far. Please investigate this, couldve ruined the whole evening for all UGTO players if i hadnt been there to fix a few basic things at least. Thanks.
-Regards

Lock em at Commander or Captain I say. That way n00bs canno tbe blamed for this and then if it is sabotage from a faction hopper it will be easily tracked.
Where are the mod and admins on this one as it i a recurring nightmare we all have logging in and seeing our home system scrapped and no resources available. It just takes away from the game as the player(s) who logged into play DS now find themselves forced to build before they play or take away from their short time they already had to play DS.
Personally, I hate the safe zones that were implemented adhoc. It makes alien technology too easy to steal and use. Impossible to disband inf in the safezone to remod. Finally too easy for a new player to scrap or sabotage. Jut my 2 cents as a paying subscriber.

It's possible that it was done on purpose like last week. Apparently when these starports get too clogged they put a strain on the server. It gets clogged with hundreds of standard lasers, IE drives etc.
However, last night Earth's starport did have some unique technologies including some Kluth weapons. If this scrap was another 'maintenance' scrap done on purpose, I'd hope that every unique technology was moved from that starport to Luna's. Otherwise it's no different than sabotage.
What we really need is a way to remove specific stacks of items in the starport. When there's 2k of standard weapons level 0 in one stack, 1k of level 4 standard lasers, 2k of IE drives level 0 etc. we need a way to just scrap them for resources. That way we don't have to scrap the entire starport every so often.
I also have to say there's been quite a lot of sabotage lately. Planets mysteriously have all their defense bases paused and then lo and behold they're bombed later. Unfortunately it never seems to occur when I'm in the MV or I'd be reporting everyone I saw doing it. I'm always there after-the-fact.

I say lock em to GA or FA. The only modifying of those planets needed is to reset the ports some times and only the highest ranks would have the experience needed to know when this is best. You could still have a dumb Captain or VA that doesnt understand their actions. GA or FA would be best, and yes. Lock them.

You can't move items in starports, so if it was a scrap on purpose, you'll have to live with it (I'd rather not have hundreds of thousands of useless items that no-one ever uses in the starport, all stacking above the screen).
And even if you did set the governing rank to Captain, or higher, the person who did sabotage most probably has an account higher than that, can could just unlock it himself.

i agree that the port needs to be scrapped now and then.
But lets say i decide im going to scrap it now because its full.
If i dont rebuild it after that, thats pretty stupid, and very annoying to a lot of people.

1) Use a better image host.
2) That's done by a player, not by the admins.

When I say move items I mean buy them at earth sell them at luna (EDIT non buildable items like alien technology). It's the sensible thing to do if you're scrapping the starport for maintenance.
However, this is clearly sabotage if it wasn't rebuilt. It's slightly possible it was a new player that didn't know what he was doing but I doubt it. There's been too much sabotage and fleet hopping to bomb/reengineer to come to that conclusion. Sabotage it is.
