Learn something new every day.

Thanks for taking the time to read her through, and spell check as you do, I am eternally grateful! (Terrible at spelling and catching my own mistakes.)

Will get to work on the next part, and on fixing the current one. Hope everyone enjoys.

Are you sure its Dammit? The word is Damn, so I swear its' Damnit. I would hate to have been wrong all these years. :( As for the Fer-De-Lance I was looking at the original Elite manual desc, and it seemed to be a personalized transport for rich executives... and I for the life of me couldn't rememb...

Well hey there, wasn't expecting any reads this early on. My original plan (of which I have a bit already completed) had a complete storyline, with various plot points and such already thought out. However due to time restraints I can't pen the story in the style I would like, so I decided to put th...

Short Story : Herald's End.

As an experiment in writing skill and fanboyism, I decided to put a small short story up in parts. Not what I originally planned, but my job's insane hours give me something like forty minutes of time to write. So, I give you, forty minutes of un-edited writing! Hopefully more parts will be added as...

Personally, I just purchased a beat up ol' Python. Something to remember when going from a Cobra (All-around) to a Python (Trader) You can't move nearly as fast, your Witchspace Injectors won't outrun an Asp or anything else with said 'boosters' And Energy bombs will become your friend. It becomes a...

I try not to think of the origins of Thanksgiving. I mean... after we got our butts royally saved, we go and keep pushing them to the west until it ends in confrontation and the march of tears.

:?

Er... what?

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving! (If it still applies, I'm halfway across the world.)

*facepalm* I was just being a dolt. Apparently, when I tried pasting from the examples I left the spaces between the line of code, and the <string> sections. Works fine now. Its only when using this, with PA's stations and System Redux/Famous Systems that I realize how beautiful this game can be. Th...

i think you have to edit your save game, maybe make a backup of it first then open it in a text editor and search for <key>ship_desc</key> change the line underneath to either <string>griff_normalmapped_cobra_mkIII_cleaner_version_player</string> for the cleaner texture cobra III or <string>griff_n...

Post a screenie, best way to get some attention. I'm sure somebody, somewhere, at sometime will want it, and regardless, everyone will appreciate some new skins.

:? Does a military laser make that much of a difference? Been saving up for a bigger ship, so I've generally stuck to the Beam. An aft laser helps. I personally engage Asp's and Fer's in this fashion; First, the Scanner targeting enhancement is awesome. A. because it lets you know in advance the leg...
