Vale the poor workers
Guys
I don't know how to express my thanks for what you have done here. Now been playing for about a month and having a bundle of fun. Still in galaxy 1 just doing hits, trading and passengers, making a reasonable profit for a mark 111. Who cares about elite iv, doubt whether it could get as good as this anyway. All of these oxps are brilliant keep up the good work.
Now the poor workers. 2 stations I pulled into last night were pretty crowded. Sat about a k out waiting for a workers commuter to enter, then boom, straight into the station, poor buggers.
Happened at the next station too. Don't think I would want to be working for that company if the pilots can't get into the stations

About that, I asked a friend in the Communist governemt of the system you first visited and recieved this communique from him:bob19 wrote:Guys

Of course, our condolences go out to the families of those lost in the tragedies you mention, but we must reveal that these incidents were not attributable to pilot error, nor were they due to mechanical failure. They were actually the work of Pro-Democracy dissidents sabotaging the productivity of the Communist regime.

I know that, I have the same problem with my Boa class Cruiser I am flying. The Workers Commuter has a height of 60 meters, exactly the same as my Boa. The dock has a height of 64 meters. That leaves just 2 meters of room at either side. It just needs a bloody good pilot to steer it into the docking slid without damage. (What I seldom manage, normally I sustain shield damage during docking)pagroove wrote:This happens fairly often with the Workers Commuter.
With the Armadillo from buoyRepair.oxp it is even worse. That ship is 65 meters high and therefor will always scratch a port of standard galactic dimensions. It only survives because it has extra shielding on top and bottom. It's home-base has a larger docking slid so a new ship will not sustain damage to its painting before delivery on a launch. It would be bad advertising.

Typical communist's hypocritical claims to gender equality. There are 17 recognized gender in the Ooniverse and they only let three become pilots

Be fair! Of the remaining 14, 4 cannot sustain live in zero-gravity (Worker's Commuters do not employ Grav-plates), 2 can't sustain long exposure to live radiocative sources (Worker's Commuters tend to have a lack of effective radiation shielding), 3 are physically incapable of working the entirely manual flight control system (Worker's Commuters do not rely on computer-aided flight control) and the rest are too intelligent to risk their lives as passengers, let alone crew!

Really? I thought all genders could fly. What genders are those? Don't call me stupid, I spent 4 years as a slave, they don't give slaves too good of an education.Typical communist's hypocritical claims to gender equality.

So some genders are more foolhardy than othersCaptain Hesperus wrote:and the rest are too intelligent to risk their lives as passengers, let alone crew!
Actually, come to think of it, most racing drivers are male. Though considering you include women and hermaphrodites, perhaps some of the other genders are simply totally impervious to testosterone-like hormones and are, say, Vulcan-like.
