There are no use restrictions, but only a home SB can build Tech 10, your other SB are limited to building Tech 7 items

RE: What are the torp restrictions for non paying players? ...

Non-paying members are only prevented from increasing base technology past 7, and even that restriction doesn't apply to homeworlds. Possible workarounds:

1) Build the big ships on your homeworld and cheaper ships on other bases.
2) Capture someone else's homeworld.
3) Some natives give you higher tech for free.
4) Give a base to an ally. Ask him to increase the tech and give it back.
5) Pay for a membership. It's a very good deal to pay a few dollars per month for a game that you play a few hours per day. You probably spend more on food whose energy is expended during that play time.
6) Convince an ally to pay for your membership. Might be worth it for them because it makes you a better ally.

Siliconoids are your next best bet, Tech 10 torps.
Possibly trade with your allies too.

Tech 7 torps would be Mk. 6's. Not as good as 7's for the MC:Mine ratio, but you'd still be able to build the bigger torps if you throw up a starbase on a silicinoid planet. Here's a link to a page with useful torp data on it.

In my Birds game -

1. half the war ships 10x10x10 have no MTK command - missing

2. SB home world wont load torps, there is no option in the window - its missing.

3. 2 months or so of turns.

RE: What are the torp restrictions for non paying players? ...

Unsure what 10x10x10 is used to refer to.

Truly odd as understood from description. I would normally suggest a faulty browser, something archaic or unsupported, and that hasn't hard-refreshed the client for quite some time. Alternately, some monitor ratios and settings don't work correctly unless adjusted on client side. Advise creative approach; use your initiative modulated by your experience.

Nevertheless, typing "mkt" on the ship may work.

I know of no Nu restrictions on nonpaying accounts save only tech levels at non-HW starbases.

I might insult your intelligence with this (and apologize beforehand), but:
did you put torp-tubes on those ships? What you describe is very similar to trying to put torps on a ship without tubes...

RE: What are the torp restrictions for non paying players? ...

Yes, I just checked a previous game. A torp ship with no current torp tubes when you press friendly code comes up with no mkt option.

Are you running lots of addons?

Some may be upsetting your mkt options.

Try Vanilla Planets and see if this works.

You get the following when upgrading:

•Ability to join more than 3 games at a time
•Ability to raise any starbase tech level past 7
•Holiday mode
•Eligibility to play in championship matches and win prizes
•Feel good about supporting the Planets Nu community!

In all seriousness, the best advantage of a paid membership is that you don't immediately look like an easy victim on turn 1 to your Privateer, Fascist, Robot, Lizard, or Birdman neighbours.

RE: What are the torp restrictions for non paying players? ...

mkt is a Friendly code option not a mission will work on any ship with torp-tubes.

in the old days unregistered players did not get to use these Friendly codes that could be what you are thinking about but back then max tech was 6 now it is 7.

the new PP system makes playing harder for torp races because of the +1 per build so can't move ship components (engines, beams, Torp-Tubes) around This is even worse if non-premium as you need to do it more.

I am hoping they add a ship to Campaign games for 10-20 points that can do this for all the races or at least some of the races.

RE: What are the torp restrictions for non paying players? ...

ok ... hmm 10x10x10 ... one could assume a maxed ship in this game with everything.

10"s = max one can get, it is universal around the world.
see /Engineer's scale 1-10, see /contest.

ok, you all, have ID ed about 8 different ships in game that is buged, at this time the ADMIN needs to see it.

start at my SB... I got a million of everything perfect 10's..MAXED...with bugged ship?

Really trying to help, mate, but I just can't make sense of what you are saying :(

1292 days, 18 hours, 31 minutes ago

RE: What are the torp restrictions for non paying players? ...

OK lets keep it simple.

Pick a ship that that won't load torps.

Tell us:

What type of ship: Eg Dark Wing
What type of beams and how many: X rays lasers x 10
What type of Torps and how many: Torp 4 x 8

i am thinking web browser ack marriage to the server acknowledgements.

You guys pick on the web browser and add ons, which i do not run any,
but the bug is in that area that your pointing me too.

unknown why many clean pcs seen the same thing on my end.

unknown why seems BUG Gone on this new build yesterday( 500 limit was wating). same pc nothing diff.

seems DEC2015 tcp ip DOS, is the only thing i find in common.

web browser, chrome build updates (loose) most likely -

@Beef - It brings to Question, why does the server not know the client has been xxxxxxxxized , and not valid. re/ Cyclic Redundancy Check etc.

longitudinal redundancy check (LRC) or horizontal redundancy check.

@Acezz

You claim its the sites fault. I have pointed out you can build capital ships without weapons. You do not have to put weapons on them as they can be used in multiple ways without weapons. @BB has indicated you should look at your star base builds of turn 57-59. I think you will find you pressed build ship on ships that only had engines. So you will find you have SB's building ships with no weapons.

So everyone else is saying you were distracted / had a bad day / partying too hard etc and built the ships without weapons. Its a legal build and there is no message to tell you have not as it is assumed you check that you have put the right engines, beams and torps before you press the build button.

My messages: Note the "Edit:" This means I have pressed the edit button and added something to my post instead of creating a new post.

Unsubscribing.
