Well, going from newbie Jameson to competent in 5m:47s was good for a laugh, even if I did achieve it in the most low-down, cowardly way possible. Watching the Tionisla graveyard go up in a purple haze was worth every second of it!

I was looking forward to some colourful narratives from the "Rebecca wars"

Maybe even some screen shots and video :o
If I were a Rock Hermit, I'd stay way clear of Tianve!

Don't feel guilty. They all come back again, and again, and again! It's sort of the opposite of re-incarnation.

Yep! Jumping away and back again did bring the victim back. Tough little so-and-so she was too! In fact, I got destroyed on my first attempt and had to do it all again. And now I've got a sizeable equipment repair bill once I find a high tech planet!

Cheers!

Hi LittleBear, Thanks for the expert advice (and the excellent OXP). I'll try your suggestion of jumping out and back again. Come to mention it, Soreisbe is only a couple of light years away, and with a convenience store right next to the witch point, so I can stock up on fuel and earn a few thousan...

Help! I can't find my Random Hit!

I have accepted a contract in Random Hits to vapourise Swami Ramon in a reliable Tiger Mk 1 at Ladibe. I have duly arrived in the Ladibe system, and headed towards the Space Station, but Swami Ramon is no-where to be seen. At one point, I was ambushed by the usually band of Hired Thugs and Faithful ...

If you've been reading around this forum, you'll know I've got some interesting experiments with TGY in the pipeline. I'll let you know what happens at 412 kills then!

What happens if you hyperspace away from Tionisla and back again? Is there a new graveyard for you to destroy?

Zaonce is close by. It should be possible to make several hops on one tank of fuel.

I tested this for myself, and I went from 'Harmless Jameson' to 'Competent' with 412 kills in 5m: 47s . I did it like this: Answer 'No' to 'Load New Commander'. Press 'Space' and then 'f0'. Set Hyperspace target to Zaonce while clearing the space station. Then Hyperspace there. Avoid the spacelane i...

Those milkruns must take up a bit of time. Would it not be quicker to downgrade your ship to the cheapest old crate available at Zaonce, fit your injectors and qmine to that, and then pop over to Tionisla. I reckon you could reach competent in about 5 or 6 minutes like that!

Numbers are the tech level.
There are symbols for the economy type and the government type. If you compare the symbols against the planet information you'll quickly work it out!
