meanwhile, back at the Constrictor mission.. .. ..

Recently I purchased a basic Adder and set off on my domination of the Galaxies with a hundred credits and a vile scowl happy smile.

..what would happen if I deleted the OXP and re-downloaded it, then went to G7 (as the same commander)(i.e. the commander that has already completed the missions)?

I suppose going there as a different commander - one that hadn't joined the Assassins Guild yet - would get the full mission

when talking about non-ownership of a spacecraft, in a space trading environment, a simple distiction might be adequate in preferring "naught" but language is forever dynamic (xcpt Latin, perhaps)

"naught" is a statement of one's circumstances "he was reduced to naught" (e.g. he had not even an Adder (second hand) to his name)

"nought" is a noun, the name of the numeral "0" which signifies the value "zero"
