How about cruise-ships. Big, bloated, and full of tourists. Other types of vessels that have no value, but instead just add to atmosphere. An occasional escape pod on its way to safety. Towing vessels that drag wrecks to a single junk heap. Scientific vessels doing research. Vessels that are unlike ...

One is named Peter Parker, so I am doubting that this one freighter got a strange name out of a loss for a name. I doesn't appear to be a part of any mission/storyline, but it has intrigued me since I saw it. Why would it be so strange for no reason? I think Wolfy may have it right, that its just to...

Or maybe Domina scoops you up and pluncks you back in the system with a slap on the wrist and says 'What are you doing out here? I told you to fly into the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. You think I like waiting for eternity to end? hurry up!' /slap That would be funny!!! I'd ...

AWESOME!!!!!!!

And great job SparcMan on the playthrough. I watched episode 1, but not 2 or 3. I started a new game with the sapphire and I made it out of Eridani with a monopole deflector and a AK15 and a cannon accelerator. I may get mining gear too when I have the cash. Everyone's tips have helped a lot. Thanx

Thank you. I read the mining tables in the mining.xml and it was actually easy to understand, a lot easier than i thought it would be.

That will be useful ! ! !

That I can live with ! ! !

Thanx

I used it for a while, but it started giving me errors at the dock screen and there was no way to exit it. I think it started happening after .99, but I can't remember. I loved that mod, it almost guaranteed that you always had enough fuel. It has only been recently replaced as my favorite by Pkodon...

Thanx.....I guess I can try one again, and be a bit more cautious. I think i will enjoy the versatility it offers.

Just a few questions about mining ore. First, does ore level have anything to do with rarity? I've noticed that Eridani and early systems, uranium ore (lvl I) is hard to find and when found in an asteroid, I usually only get one chunk of ore unlike plasteel (lvl II) or titanium (lvl I) which I can g...

Honestly, why wouldn't students/professors at St K's be able to ID equipment? They can upgrade your equipment and they study that equipment which means they should have the ability to ID stuff, even if it requires special tools to do so. Of course, being a university, they would charge a fee for doi...

Why not do it in a small circle around the ship or just the ship itself flashing red when taking damage? The whole screen is just annoying and under the correct conditions it can make a battle confusing. I have not noticed a difference in green colors for active ships/stations and the green for inac...

Usually I play with the Wolfen and I do fairly well. On occassion I try the freighter and I do OK, but not as good as the Wolfen . I even use Prophet's SR-71 Blackbird and I do almost as good as with the Wolfen . However, the Sapphire and I never make it out of Eridani. Anyone use the Sapphire , and...

Well, recently I learned that my game was running at half-speed. I didn't realize it until I timed my shield regen rate and it took twice as long as it was supposed to. When I figured out why (my color was set to 32, I changed to 16) I started a new game, and to my surprise I couldn't control my Wol...
