Nice job commander. what follows is but friday afternoon digression and rambling. Feel free to ignore. when I see in your posts about the challenges of living in remote Hacker Outposts, it reminds me not to take for granted such things as uninterrupted power from the wall socket. But I would have th...

here's my list. It's pretty small and doesn't reflect the wealth of OXPs out there. Still, I think there are some favourites in here: Anarchies (look-and-feel, gameplay) Behemoth (utility) Commies (look-and-feel) Deepspace Pirates (gameplay) Galactic Navy (missions, ships) Griff Ships (look-and-feel...

haha, yes, FDLs are tricksy things, for sure. Try picking a fight with some Cobra Mk1s to get your kill rating up :) Or a python: big and not too fast. They may even spill some cargo for you to scoop (wait, you probably don't have fuel scoops yet...) FDLs, Cobras, Pythons, any ship really: if you ge...

compulsory health insurance is just another way of being taxed by the state. you know that, right? you just have to suck it up and get on with it. for me, the idea(l) of healthcare provision irrespective of ability to pay for it is laudible. And the healthcare professionals that i have come into con...

I'm sure that would work, but my setup is to have the OS and all apps on the c:\ drive, and all personal data on d:\ I realised after a recent c:\ restore that my oolite saves are not backed up anywhere because they reside on c:\ not d:\.
