THE REAVERS FATE Mk-1 Retrofit B (Tier 4)

Hey guys, 

Here is the Tier 4 refit Reavers Fate I have been flying around with 12 plasma cannons. Its pretty good, if i may say so myself.

You can of course swap out the weapons for any configuration you want, theres enough CPU points left over.

Big improvements to speed and performance going up to Tier 4, lots more RCS and bigger thrusters everywhere, plus a few extra luxuries in the main cabin.

12 plasmas will wreck most turrets in a single well placed shot or ...

Broken Eden - A new Supporter only MP server for EGS

Hello you glorious, beautiful people.

I have not built it yet, still waiting for the Exp A12 to be released for server owners so I can get started on it. The server will be available once A12 is out of Exp anyway so we have a few weeks i think.

In the meantime, I have setup some of the new channels in discord and the first draft of the server rules is available for you to read through and feedback any questions etc.

I'm sure most of this goes without saying but it needs to b...

I've just lost my job

Well it was a bit of a surprise turning up to work today, being pulled into meeting and told my position has been made redundant, thanks for all you've done, Bye!

Don't worry, I'm ok, its not brown alert quite yet. But I am now back once more into the land of unknown and uncertainty. 

Which is why your support is so incredibly valuable to me, without the extra bit of cash you throw at me each month I think I would be having a much harder time with this so I wanted to say than...

My decision.

So, i have thought on this for a while now, and your feedback to my last post has been really helpful.

I'll cut to the chase, Patreon will stay for now.

It seems that most of you are happy to continue supporting me on this platform and so I'm happy to stay put for now.

But what about the dodgy double standards and stuff?

The Patreon question...

 Bit of a heavy subject today. I am very much considering closing my Patron account. This is for a few reasons:

 1. On principle, the recent scandals with Patreon taking action against members on its site for ambiguous and confusing reasons sighting policies that seem to contradict their action. 

2. Patreon take a cut of your kind contributions so you may be unwittingly paying a company you might disagree with and certainly one I am not happy supporting any more. (k...
