I dominated with torps more than once, for example... I Was attacked by some kind of a mean bounty hunter that wanted to punish me for crimes I haven't done! (I violated their trade bans and then destroyed a warship - but she attacked me first! I even tried to run, but she torped me :/) and they accused me of piracy and ignoring the government, among other accusations. Anyway, that bounty hunter had a nice ship, but he wanted to board me, so I tried guns at mid distance... Not to effective as he was fighting back, but after I retreated, 4 torps were enough to blow all his engines. Btw. I have another questions noone asks... 1. Why when they have no legal authority in particular places, ignoring the warships is still considered a crime? Does that mean that crime is illegal? Er, I mean the accusation of a crime, because I don't know any legal crimes  2. When I destroy a warship, I am accused of destroying government's property and piracy, although I can't do piratical offences to the realm in form of looting destroyed ships... Can't they just accuse me of self-defence? I think that, concerning weird politics among the races and syndicates, this would have fitted in nicely. You are accused of self defence, among other crimes 3. When I have conflicts with ships, it decreases my reputation with that faction.... But does the reputation decrease for ships that have confkicts with me as well? The best example ius two factions in an alliance, e.g. Javat and Thulun, I am a Javat pirate, and a Thulun pirate attacks me. If I beat him, relations with Javat decrease... If he beats me, will the same happen to him with Thulun? Not that it matters, I'm just curious whether the politics here are like in Mafia (Only what I do matters) or is it more complicated?  do other ships respect trade embargo? 4. Why do they do these inconvenient alliances, when they still keep doing secret quests against each other and doing them harms your reputation wirh both, while not doing them with just one side? Is it like they want to hate you, just need a reason? 5. When I transport operatives of for example Thulun, why they decrease relations with me by 3? By transporting them I did them a favor, or so I think... Because reasons... Also, why do you never wonder why you never get put into an invasion fleet during a solar war? Instead of sending you out. One ship. Against a rival empire. Standing for justice. Firing all the torpedoes at all the things. Decimating an entire neverending fleet all by yourself. IM HERO MODE CADAR. LET'S DO IT! *cough* I mean, uh, cause reasons... |

Yes it is, it's a hidden menu. YOu need to go to options, press the following words. You won't get a response while you do it, but it will enable invasion systems ...
"Full" from "Full Screen Game", then ...
"Orientation" from "Screen Orientation"
"Operation" from "Hide Operation Notifications"
"Long" from "Long Faction Notifications"
"Explore" under "Hide Operation Notifications"
"Disable" from "Disable Map Background"
then
"You" under "Experience Notifications Minimum"
"Officer" under "Short Officer Notifications"
"Uniforms" from "Enable Cadar Uniforms on Captains"
Yup, that will do it

The question no one asks...
"Why is the vud..." oh wait lol
I do have a question though, on torpedoes...
By faction matched do you mean one's personal allegiance, or the faction of the ship you're flying at the time?

I think it means: "don't put Steel Strong torps in a Cadar ship, for maximum efficiency always use Cadar approved torps for any long range target practice". |

Cannot tell if serious or trolling I see no differences in game. He's lovingly joking, but in his case we call it "catting"  |

Darth CthorasLook at the first letter of each word that I had highlighted. I do believe though, that you will be the first who has actually made the effort of pressing each word. I owe you a Karma point for that

Ugh. I knew there was something fishy going on with how that was broken up into two sections but ignored my intuition.
