Re: Randomshipnames.oxp v 1.4 released

Uhhhmmmmm, Oopsie? :( :( :( :( :( I'm afraid I trashed Cody's Machine. It was a Gecko (red not green) and I let it fire the first volley, truely I did. And it said that i would be in trouble if I wasted his time. So I didn't. It wasn't much of a fight so I am certain that Cody wasn't piloting it him...

Re: Email System (Release)

Hi phkb. I updated the system and finally was able to check it out. The emailed amount of bounty for a pirate cove is showing correctly now. Sorry that it took so long, Yesterday I managed to come across a pirate cove but when I attacked a fugitive which came out of the cove, it fled after a few sec...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia

Close enough, Cody! Officially they are Arkoniden (German plural form) who met Pherry Rhodan and Reginald Bull on the moon. Amazing, considering that that story started on the 8th of September 1961 !!!!!! (Yes! 55 years ago!) And they have brought out a new story every week since then and they are s...

Re: Email System (Release)

Hi phkb, I can confirm that the hiding of the HUD is not happening anymore, so good one!!! However, I think there is a little glitch still, linked with Pirate Cove. When I destroy a pirate cove, the screen tells me that I received a 100 Cr bounty, which is consistent with the credits in my account b...

<sniggers> Anchovies and peanut butter are fine - but coffee syrup? What he said. I have a regular night in with some ex-university buddies where careers, politics and the state of the world/education/whatever was discussed whilst slurping some alcoholic beverages. After a couple of bottles of Glen...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia

You sure it's not Suzy's sizzlin' ? Fried electronics? smells like a short circuit to me. :twisted: :P Naah, definitely a fishy smell. Don't know what you're smelling over there but it obviously ain't what I'm smelling here. Besides, doesn't every ship smell of fried electronics with a dash of acri...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia

<Sniff><Sniff> Hmm, some strange smell is emanating from my computer. Rxke, how fresh was that fish that you gave to Disembodied?

Re: Science Fiction Trivia

OOOOOHHHHHH! That one I DO know. Them be the Taurans! Or was it Tauruns? Hmmm, I'll stick with the first one. I remember this because this was the first science fiction board game that I got, back in the eighties! The game was based on the Forever War. The boardgame was rather naff, iirc, but the st...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia

I hope beta is the second or my question was wrong :? Relax, Rxke. You're covered, either way. :wink: :wink: Since the word alphabet comes from the contraction of Alpha and Beta, even if Beta wasn't the second letter in the Greek alphabet (which it is), it would still be the second Greek letter in ...
