maybe we could get the publishers to send us a pdf? Failing that. I hear they have a very active forum and I'm sure someone can slip a copy into a scanner.

on the case....

How do I upload a *.pdf here?

ClymAngus · Post by **ClymAngus** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 5:18 pm

email it to me and I'll use a bit of my crimsonforge webspace.

...or you could use a free service like box.net for the pdf, or imageshack for a scanned image. It'd be good to read what it says either way!

Or both, done and done.

So where's a good spot on the wiki for this?

I like the last bit..."the masterful Oolite". Sums it up nicely.

... and it features one-and-a-half screenshots of mine.

(In case you're wondering: The Salvage Gang is from Anarchies, and I took the screenshot. And the damaged station is featured in Cataclysm, although itself it is a work by Griff, and the screenshot isn't by me.)

He gets a few details mixed up (like the part with buying another ship, which is the marvellous addition of Oolite above Elite). But overall: great article, great game!

Hip hip, hooray!

That is cool as.

Commander McLane, salvage gangs are one of my favourite parts of the game. I really like the detail on and inside the asteroid.

Excellent. Thanks for informing us of the article and thanks for posting it here (each thanks to the appropriate party). An enjoyable read.
