Those are the restrictions we have to work with in our system. If there was a level 50 equivalent of the cutter, then it would dominate all smaller ships and essentially remove them from PvP.

Every career mission is available from every single trainer for your career. You can't lose track of them that way. They come every 5 levels and don't award a skill every time.

From another post in regards to "raids":

Drew explained a lot of it and I think you'll be pleased.

Please tell me:

1) What prisoner you have
2) What trainer you are talking to in what town
3) Your level

Thanks!

For the v1.1 patch, we are doubling the frequency of these rare spawns. They will still be very rare, but not as rare as they are now.

You will find more handcrafted content as you level up. Pretty much every town above level 15 will have some unique missions to play. At the much higher levels, you may discover the supernatural content, which includes dozens of missions where you are gaining skills and items specifically to fight the supernatural.

Pressing alt-enter will switch you between windowed and fullscreen mode in most places. If the client is hung it might not respond to the command.

To manually make the change to your prefs so that you start the client windowed you need to open prefs.xml in a text editor and search for <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>. Change true to false. Disclaimer: I do not recommend touching anything else in this file.

Also, making multiple posts will not help you get you problems fixed faster. If anything you should file a support ticket so that your issue is appropriately tracked.

It sounds like your launchpad is dying on startup. I think that is what you are saying. You should attach the launchpad.log file from "C:\Program Files\Sony\Station\LaunchPad".

Also, a few other players found a solution when their launchpad crashed on loading graphics. This is what fixed it for them:

1. First right click on your POTBS shortcut.

2. Go to the properties.

3. Then click on compatibility option.

4. Select the check box :Run the program in compatibility mode.

5. Select the Windows 98/windows ME.

Capping range at 675 is bad for navy characters.

There's too much +range available through gear. I reduced it recently. I believe the changes are in the launch day patch.
