Is the witchpoint beacon/buoy an entity and, if so, under what heading do I find it in the Javascript reference? - I merely want its position so I can spawn some ships there (instead of around the player.ship, where collisions tend to happen). My understanding is that it is much more than an entity...

Trump is fond of authoritarian leaders and wishes he could be one too. I'm happy to see leaders in Europe, Canada, and Mexico stand up to his bullying. And the current understanding is that standing up to him works (unlike what has happened with Panama and its canal). Two very nasty articles in tod...

Digebiti seems quite popular with these smaller liners...

You do know that cousin Digby has more than the one domino, don't you?

...how about repurposed cobra mk1s as escorts... But would they be good enough? "Today, it is hopelessly outclassed as a fighter, but some pirates still use the craft when operating in groups due to its low cost, and occasionally traders use the craft as a support vessel. Today, it is most com...

So if they make a mistake and blow up the wrong ship, who is actually liable?

Me? The rental company (M.L.)? The creator of the AI?

Brainwave!

This is obviously the reason for the Viewscreens dotted throughout the liners. The Viewscreens show placid previously-recorded views while the escorting GalCop Vipers unleash murderous mayhem on the raiding pirates! And inside the liner nothing is seen, nothing is felt...

But I'm back with v.2.0!

The F7 screens are suitably modified. But I've not been anywhere yet!

Just musing... I rather like the way that our regions only cover some of each galaxy - and that the other spaces are "open", so to speak. To me, it says that those regions have a real identity, going some way back - either before the fall or evolving in response to it ( eg : protection fro...

But we know that pirates and/or terrorists attack liners/trains/buses and then hold the passengers to ransom. I vote for the Space-Lane Vipers protecting the Liners. i) It makes the Space Lanes something different/special in our game ii) The heavy presence of the S-LVs makes them safe at the time of...

I think its a harmless error, but its due to the fact that you can't use your energy bomb (if you have one) whilst your Mark Transponder Scanner is active. When you are in the same system as a contract target, the script disables your cloak and energy bomb (only if you have them). However, the play...

Which set of names do you prefer for the eight (nine) charts on the F6 screen? 1. Wildeblood/ ArcElite / Galaxy Names OXP : 1 Santaari, 2 Colesque, 3 Lara'tan, 4 Angiana, 5 Proximus, 6 Solans, 7 Jaftra, 8 Xrata, 9 Transoresratia Votes: 1 2. user2357/indigenously-translated & rearranged ArcElite...

Wondering if this little snippet in my latest.log is perchance yours: 22:55:13.157 [script.load.notFound] +[OOScript jsScriptFromFileNamed:properties:] (OOScript.m:205): ***** ERROR: Could not find script file energy-bomb-equipment.js. (I'm in G7 but with the older AG version 2.0 - and on an AppleM...

Subsequent thought: Sector 4, with no Corp States, would therefore never see one of these ships. Do I bend the rules and include Democracies in G4, or leave it as an anomaly? I'm leaning towards leaving it as an anomaly, but I'd value other opinions. G4 is an anomaly . But if you eventually include...

They look finger-lickin' good. You obviously have a flair for this sort of thing!

I suppose that the "windows" in the cabins are really View-Screens.

Club Red (Communist systems only)

Not Republican systems only? And, the Tory party colours used to be red too, in the early days of Queen Victoria.
