Re: Taxes?!

:oops: Um, well, yes... I have to admit that this was a pretty orderly system (hence the taxes seem well spent). I'll bring them in alive, and support the community. Thanks.

Taxes?!

"For capturing Lorese Carrefire, ...youre paid a bounty of 63.0 cr. The insurance fee of 250cr goes to Govt. taxes :shock: ."

@Redspear Good news! They liquidated my loan - and unfortunatly, me along with it.

Folks, thanks for the welcome, and the advice. I now have 7 kills, 4000cr. in the bank, a ship I can defend, and an ooniverse to explore. :mrgreen:

Thanks Diogenese, I'll give Isinor a try. I'm presently refueling at Zaonce with a load of dirt-cheap computers I bought from an orbiting salvage-gang.

Re: Introduce Yourself.

Greetings Yah-Ta-Hey and thanks for the warm welcome. Ah Washington 8) , some day We'll catch up! Advice much appreciated. Death is offered often, and comes swiftly in this game.

Re: Introduce Yourself.

Thanks for the warm welcome Diogenese & Diziet ... Wow.. are you playing "iron man" style, and starting over whenever you get killed? :shock: HaHa, Not *every* time :wink: ... Just settling in and learning the ropes, and trying some of the mods. On my first go, I was too impatient to b...

What a totally captivating game it is! I'm now on my 4th career/life (soon to be 5th, as I've just defaulted on ...
