And then, of course, they went ahead and made Final Cartridge II

The second glitch is an artifact of the player stations being randomly offered - not sure if I want to consider this a bug, though. I could explain it away as active markets in station offering ... Not sure about that. Perhaps the changes should not come so fast. Do you have a suggestion how to do ...

No duplication is to occur. Global = Interstellar + System System = System only Why? The old version does call both global and system ships. At least for Hardpirates there's no check wether they have been added already. Calling them twice does add them twice. That's why I changed global to be used ...

I'm not sure myself, if the above configuration calls the four ship types above double or not, and if yes, if you intended that, pmw57, or not?

Global = Interstellar + System
System = System only

I do two things there: First I changed it so that setUpGlobalShips is used for interstellar space only as otherwise it will add the same type of ships which are also added by setUpSystemShips for normal systems and then I did comment out many ships because these will appear anyway, thus I don't nee...

Or you could make a piece of equipment available that logs prices as you visit systems and then does the math for you... "Trading Computer" or some such. That way you won't have some kind of eldritch knowledge outside the Ooniverse, you'd only be using data you yourself had gathered. I sh...

The thought of lawyers carrying a school lunch is just hilarious. Well to be fair, hilarity aside, packed lunches are not exactly uncommon in the working world. I know, I take my own. If you've seen Boston Legal, they are the sort of lawyers I would envisage packing lunch. However, the cast from La...

2) is it against any oolite/elite mantra to have the AI record prices based on last visit and whatnot to aid in commodities training? Oh bugger - that's what I'm quietly working on here. To store the commodities in a packed manner, and then to show the best price differences from what you know of t...

Because of big fat lawyers carrying very thin briefcases?

How do they get so fat when there is no room for their packed lunch?

They charge the cost to the company. Let's do lunch.

In any case, if anyone is still up to making a more interesting and improved ring.dat model, it should look even better. Right now, if you slap a Duffy Duck and a Bugs Bunny in the center of the image, you have the Looney Toones start up screen :-) And you're not implementing this already because.....

I don't really know what would help the authors to ensure that everything is done properly (not only updating links, but also update version numberings and probably some overview list), but it's really necessary for users to have a simple way of noticing the changes. Currently it's a real horror to...

The main update work has been done by Ark, only the script.plist was my work. But I suggest to leave it this way for now. The way missions will be offered will change in 1.74 and probably break current js scripts. The current plist version should not be affected by this change and stay working. The...

There is no psychic abilities, no "hidden" forces that some people can receive, no magic in our world or universe. though it would be nice if it did exist. Those of us whom it's happened to, know better.. I'm not immune to experiences that I've had that raise the question either. The thin...

I leave that to the Boy Racers - I have a profit to make, not a ship to repaint after every docking..

Where's the kaboom?

I think I follow.
