Post by phonebook »

does it have to be the same computers that were loaded on at xeer (the starting point), or can it be any old computers?

What Cmdr James said..

In fact, suppose you are carrying said computers and happen to pop into a ConStore and find you can sell the lot for a fantastic price.. do it.. you can then pick up the same quantity of computers cheap from some Rich Industrial system further along your route, then carry on to your destination, where the customer will still happily pay you the agreed sum, thus allowing you to make even more credits from the run than you would have otherwise..
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
