Oolite Bulletins

I love the name Cow interceptor. I haven't seen it at all, I picture it as a big, not too glamorous ship. It's a mobile fuel station with the pump on the underside and a plasma turret at the rear (beware of the Cow's kick!).

Hello from a Oolite wannabe.

It's hard to earn cash in this game but it's worth it.

In the basic game. Add a few OXPs and it becomes easier. I recently added Your Ad Here and the addition of Constores have made it very easy to make lots in a short time.

If you are playing with the Commies OXP, there are stations that will sell you upgrade for a discount. I bought the ship at the main Commie station and then flew to the nearest other station in the same system and got upgrades for a discount.
Hint: look near the Sun

I find I use the advanced space compass a whole bunch to locate Astogulags, FTZs, and the occasionally not obvious constores, which allows me to get better deals on stuff, so it pays for itself rather quickly. I would get it fairly early. Witchfuel injectors are definitely near the top. Docking comp...

The word hoopy makes anything funnier.

Somewhat OT.
I have found AstroGulag and SLAPOs but I have yet to find a Zero Grav Factory.
Are they in Galaxy 1? Where would they be ?

Caduceus are fun in that often, for me, a ship does an attack run past me, so I only get to fire on it for short time before it passes me. The turrets are an extra shot. A few times I have turned around to look for it and the ship is gone as the turrets took it out.

A passenger trip from one side of the galaxy to another will get you 10k or more, though it would take somewhat more than an hour. I have gotten close to 20k for one once.

Here I was thinking it was an ingame thing about the size and shape of the ship and the fuel station. I would have reported it earlier myself.

That's even better

Happy Laziness is
watching a Viper take out a pirate and then scooping up the cargo after he's done.

I wrote some fiction fragment on the Xexedi page. Now I'm gonna sleep.

Sounds vaguely like Dubai...

Totally optional, but might be fun.
Add to the description of a Communist world,
'Used to be a corporate planet, but since the Revolution on year XXYY, it has become the People's Republic of <whatever>

Inines is near 3 Corporate worlds, so it is a likely candidate for this.

Asterix is wonderful. My first Asterix book was in German. That one is lost, but I have practically all the classic ones in English. And I have had boar sausage, though never boar itself. Still working on the recipe for magic potion. It has misletoe and lobster, but the lobster is only for taste.

I'm simply glad that when I press the slow down button for long enough, it stops.
