Trumbles ??

Post by Ark »

Is there something different in trumbles mission with 1.70?

I have bought one before 2 days. Since then I did about 6 jumps and still have one (the one I bought). If memory serves they propagate themselves and eat your cargo. But it seems that now they don't do either. Is there anybody else that has tried that with 1.70 (don’t try to get rid of it as soon as possible and wait to see what will happen)

I haven't yet tried with 1.70, but the this behaviour seems preety much normal to me. It does take a while until you notice any effect caused by the trumble.

After all this is a feature of exponential growth: first it's very slow, and then it gets faster and faster.

When I added the trumbles I exercised my creativity and made them a bit more sophisticated than the C64 version. What they do and how fast they do it can now depend on your cargo and ship handling as well as other factors. :roll:
