    @Shadowfang: On Chrome I get this page if I try to connect to the gateway:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="white" text="black">
    <center><h1>Welcome to nginx!</h1></center>
    </body>
    </html>

    If I connect on Firefox, instead I get what looks to be the normal login screen. After logging in, it goes to the 'verify browser page', but doesn't send an email, and any attempt to navigate away from the page crashes the browser.

    EDIT: On another note, could I ask if anyone knows why the T5 Nebula isn't allowed? It was originally a dilithium ship (I still have mine) and didn't get any updates for the C-store, so it should conform to the allowed powerlevel. I'll be honest I was kind of surprised to not see it listed.

    well, it's working just fine for me, and i use firefox too...of course, i also have account guard disabled, so i don't have to deal with those annoying emails or that verify browser TRIBBLE every visit anymore

    as for the nebula...i would assume it isn't allowed because the channel group never got around to assessing it

    however, since it's one of the ships being updated for DR along with the d'kyr, vesta and aquarius, don't expect it to make it on the allowed list

    #LegalizeAwoo

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.

    Just to clear this up....had gateway remained down, we admins would have simply relied on the honor system and the good eyes of channel members

    Eh, the only update is a single point of turn and a smidgeon of extra inertia. It's not like the Aquarius which is getting 10k extra hull or whatever.

    I know the OP says that no other ships will be considered, but there's a good selection of old 'for dilithium' ships that aren't on the list that would probably be good to play for this. Not trying to cheese it or anything, I'd just appreciate a few more options to choose from.

    If you think a ship should be allowable, feel free to discuss it. I won't give anything an okay without consulting with and getting agreement with Gio and Horizon, though.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    The nebula kind of breaks classic PVP since it has a LTC eng. That said, I have a free fed eng, and a Fed Sci with the ship that are booasted healers. Happy to use them. Love that layout. Haxy heals with some CC. Win.

    I did not know that. But as most that know me, I don't play feds very often.

    It's a shame KDF doesn't have good sci options. I've been considering grinding a kdf-rom Sci for vpvp. Just have to find the time to do it. Until then, a sci vorcha used to be fun years ago.

    good luck with that; specializations can't be disabled, so unless you intend to ban anyone above 50 from playing

    tough luck, deal with it

    We are dealing with it, thank you very much. That's the unfortunate part of them, not being able to be turned off, but given that many folks stated that they're willing to dedicate an alt to VPvP, it's the best option.

    Wow, so now not only are you telling people how to have fun, you are demanding they conform to garbage rules so you don't have to cry anymore? Fun and Fair indeed. Let's all play basketball, but only if you are under 5'2", and only if you wear Converse high-tops with white socks (not black or blue). Have fun playing with yourself.
