Re: A change of plans

Job bloody well done Ahruman. Having just re-watched Wrath of Kahn (for the umpteenth time), I am kinda feeling how Kirk must've felt after Spock died. Sad, at the loss of future development, but happy to have what I have.

Having said that, any contenders for a successor?

Re: Passenger/cargo contracts cease to exist

Okay, I confirmed that after jumping to a few other systems further away, I started seeing ships and contracts available. It was certainly odd to me to encounter a 'drought' of contracts after being used to seeing them ALL the time. I've stopped worrying about it, and now I'll go see if my computer ...

Re: Hello!...First post...Wow!...Thankyou and Questions!...

HI Giskard! I'm like you, as well. Played Elite when it originally came out on the C64 back in the day.

Re: Passenger/cargo contracts cease to exist

I thought at first the files were binary, but since they are simple XML files, I uploaded them to google docs and enabled them to be publicly shared without anyone having to log in to google. Anyone should be able to see the files. Please let me know if it doesn't work and ...

Re: Passenger/cargo contracts cease to exist

Hi Guys, and thanks for the welcome. :) Blipvert is from Max Headroom, but it was what commercials devolved into. I thought some more about how this problem could be identified, and it occurs to me that if I emailed my save-file to another linux user, we could isolate if the problem is repeatable at...

Re: Passenger/cargo contracts cease to exist

Hi folks, Actually, I have the exact same problem. I'm running 1.75 (for Linux) and noticed that my list of passenger/cargo contracts started disappearing. Not only that, but the list of ships available for purchase now reports "No ships available" -- regardless of what tech level the plan...
