right now i can't get in either, but obviously i could earlier.
i wonder if they locked the tardis?

going into street view on google maps and earth, you will see this, just outside Earl Court Station:



the nice thing is, you can doubleclick and actually enter it.

and this is what it looks on the inside you can actually walk around in it.

i wonder how many of the people here looking down on the average computer user have driver licenses, but can't even replace a timing belt.

The real-life police reaction on encountering an alley fight isn't to place an immediate death sentence on, and to start shooting at, whichever combatant is nearest, though.

Actually, they do just that if the brawler is about to use deadly force against his adversary.

There's still a problem with players being attacked by "Clean" pirates, and then getting a criminal record (and worse, being attacked by Vipers) because they're witnessed by the police firing back in self-defence. As if the real life police would always know (or care) who the real instiga...

Probably showing my ignorance here, but will this automatically include OXP-added ships appropriately too? Probably the blue highlighted roles will actually be called "trader", "hunter", "pirate" and "escort" in the implementation, so OXPs will continue to wo...

not all pirates would be full-timers. a lot of them would be traders like you and me, jumping on an opportunity every so often.

i would expect the pirates to come from similar places real world pirates come from. they either operate from systems where the government is unable to prosecute them, or turns a blind eye. that doesn't mean they only operate in poor and anarchistic systems, merely that they stage their raids from t...

On a side note:
Could anyone be so nice and pick up a couple Kegs of Wyvern Special at Beesor and take them to Biramabi?

On the other hand, considering what happened to "Starship Troopers"... Starship Troopers was different in so far as it was started as an original, but then it was discovered that the story is so close to the novel that there could be legal ramifications. For that reason the rights were pu...
