Glad you enjoyed your meal :D

thriving on electrical cables and breeding by some mysterious means these delightful ?creatures are indeed a treat for eye & ear & brain, but just how large a colony could one ship support; anyone know :?: :?:

A commander * landing on a lot of planets/moons/etc. is curious regarding bars-on-terra-firma. They have such intriguing names. A fellow commander regularly hits the town, unloading exotic bootlegged poison exquisite liqueur and other delectables from lands afar, but has an Elite ranking + loadsa do...

Executive Spaceways v2.2.oxp offers the Star Seeker Personal Shuttle which I think is an affordable intermediate ship, although I didn't buy one - I didn't have that OXP installed so it didn't come up for sale - it is in between an Adder and a Moray, pricewise.

Thanks for that reply.. I'd wondered how the passenegr contracts compared (in the absence of capital/cargo capacity) and 20K ain't bad. But if you are going to "cheat" a large cargo bay, why not just hack a high speed Anaconda for cheap? I think [thought] as I plod[ded] on in Adder -- but ...

a passenger cabin. Once you build up your passenger rep you can get some decent income..............gold, platinum and gems..(>=40 Cr/kg for gold, >=80Cr/kg for Platinum, >=24Cr/g for gems). Never tried building reputation as taxi, but bullion contracts pay pretty good (100,000+) once reputation es...

I need to make clear that escape-podding at the nova star is not really a solution and if you try it it is important not to quick-save . But it is an interesting, or "fun" play experience. Don't worry if you do decide to use early save from G1 - I had to do something similar when I explode...

It's definitely the Nova mission (aftermath). Try using your EscapePod when you arrive at the planetless star with the exploding asteroids. When you arrive at your destination do not "quick-save" the game it becomes a bit awkward to depart again but if you want to polish up your departure ...
