</me throws a piece of chalk> Mr. Hesperus, stop bullying the transfer foreign students or I'll be forced to run you through with my sword!

Now, Mr. Inquisiteur, had you been present in our previous lessons, you'd have known about trumbles; furthermore, you'd be aware of the reason behind the "We Hate Trumble Pushers" association. As it is, you'll have to borrow someone's notes.

That'll be all for today. The class is dismissed.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

No!!! don't fry it! :cry:

You may be host to a variant I haven't got yet.
Come round to my asteroid-lab/trumblesanctuary at ...Axerack. (I'll have to make the OXP first ;) )
I'll take them off your hands (and leave you with only one).

If you are not hanging around in galaxy3, you may want to ask around about Raxxla, as I hear they pay a bounty for trumbles there.

(Maybe it was "they pay a bounty for trumble-pushers"...I don't quite recall.)


edit:
Maybe I should live at Arexe, Gal1? They have a nive Rodent democracy, and are wellknown for their exiting sitcoms, which they loathe.

is there always only one planet per system? one sun? any moons? asteroid belts? oort clouds? on the other hand, having a preponderance of such things would tend to make players focus down to a few systems rather than explore the galaxies.

oh, and by the way, how do i find asteroids? the one time i did, i couldn't afford the scoops yet, and so didn't have them. now i can't find them anywhere....

There will always be only one planet, sun and station per system if there are no OXPs affecting it (Assassins is good example of an OXP that makes major changes to the systems).

Asteroids are randomly generated when you enter the system and may or not be present. Just keep looking for them.

nijineko, have you added in Littlebears asteroids oxp, you can find it here:-

It'll add some variety to the types of asteroids you meet in the form of some great models Charlie put together, based on real life asteroids too!
