Tianve gets a negative review from this tourist...
arrived in system... went to station... refueled etc... off to see the pulsar... following the liners etc all very nice... loads of adverts etc...
then it gets weird...
halfway there up pops a ship which says "Rebecca - I dont like scum like you" or something like that and proceeds to kill me a lot in short order...press space commander?????
how does the game know my real name? is this a joke/easter egg or something? my commander name is DeVille...
ok... so i am a fugitive but i was behaving myself at the time despite the tempation of seeing how adverts respond to a qbomb...maybe i have a price on my head?
im back at Anle now as i hadnt saved my game!

are you on a mac pc linux or something else?Disembodied wrote:A fugitive behaving herself is still a fugitive ... there's gong to be a price on your head wherever you go until you manage to get Clean again! As to how the game knows your real name, that I don't know. Perhaps if you have the right OXPs installed the game starts to achieve sentience?
Im on XP if that helps!!!
it DEFINITELY said Rebecca though... i was so surprised I didnt get the rest of what happened before i got killed... spooky.
im going to have another look tonight and see if I can find the ship again....

Rebecca is the name of the main character in both of Drew's short stories. Havent looked at the code, but maybe he's included her name in a hail. Maybe the message was FROM Rebecca (who lives in that system). She is in the story a bounty hunter, so it would make sense for her to attack criminals like you!

Sounds the most likely suggestion to me. Drew's good Rebecca strikes down the RealLife™ evil Rebecca!LittleBear wrote:Rebecca is the name of the main character in both of Drew's short stories.

had another look and no sign of the ship... saw the pulsar though.... very er... spinny!
so there might be somebody called Rebecca who lives in Tianve????? how does that work then? are there characters in the game? which stories are these anyway?

Somehow the stories caused me being unable to sleep until I read them through

that has really freaked me out....really...
found the ship though .... look! im not going nuts!!!!! you were right.. it was a 'Rebecca' not aimed at me specificallly..
it seems to always be in the same place.... just short of the halfway adboards in the tianve system.... approach with caution... shes obviously more dangerous than me!!!!!
