Is there a vegetarian option?

A most well thought out space game was I-War (I thought). All ships were based on the ring accelerator principle which spewed ions from an exhaust port thus propelling the ship. Cannon were also powered by ions bled from the main ring. The particle ring was the most massive component of any ship to ...

I so want one of those panels! I'm even prepared to try and say 'Intergalaxenübersprungmaschine aktivieren'

Thanks guys! Glad it's potable!

Yeah, I've scooped up escape pods containing a slave escaping from a pirate ship that I turned into debris and now I read about the hostages it explains an odd occurrence or three. Nice touch 8) Just sometimes I find an escape pod or cargo pod that outruns me at full speed even with the Q-Charger ya...

Hi, I wanted to do something useful so I had a crack at extending the functionality of Okti's Long Range Scanner. I would appreciate any feedback and will try my best to correct any errors.

Broadly speaking Ubuntu (12.04) reports an acceptable framerate but the gameplay experience belies that. It is as though the game ...

He was a military man and took the interests of his nation to heart. When he returned from his mission he became reclusive in the extreme and a man of few words. It took considerable leverage to make the man appear in public. It is important not to entangle bravery with patriotism. Patriotism might ...

But not a very good one :lol: I did scan the link, although I forgot to thank Tricky for his in depth research. :oops: Cheers Tricky. Don't get me wrong, my tutor did not state that the root was Latin, simply that the plural of virus is virii. He was, I thought, a most gracious man and wise beyond ...
