Hello stapper and welcome to "The Friendliest Board this side of Riedquat."

Trumbles are usually considered to be best served with BBQ sauce (hint).

If you're in a ship and want to grill something nice and toasty, where would be the best place to head for?

There is also a safer alternative...

Glad you enjoyed your meal :D

thriving on electrical cables and breeding by some mysterious means these delightful ?creatures are indeed a treat for eye & ear & brain, but just how large a colony could one ship support; anyone know :?: :?:

There's an alternative to the time-honoured (and time consuming and risky) Elite method? What is it? Can you provide a hint?

Friction. Re-entry.

Ah yes, as I don't, I forgot to addendum that!

Ah, the sort of friction we might call 'falling', and which a certain OXP has to do with?

PS: Did nothing become of the idea of being somewhere able to buy some sort of trumble-removal kit? If so, that's a shame (especially given the OXP problem with the other removal method - the other removal method just mentioned). Perhaps Hacker Outposts, or Rock Hermits, or planets (as against stations) could be made to sell such a thing. Or perhaps they could be made to die if/when they eat 'alien items' cargo (or narcotics or firearms)?

Removal of a trumble cannot be done by scripting, which rather kills the idea.

I have tried both the old and the new methods of frying the critters and it does not matter how much time I take on approach I just crash. Does the aforementioned OXP stop both methods working? and If so is there another method? Failing that can anyone tell me which OXP it is so I can try to uninstall it?
