Anyone else play witchhole roulette?
This is more dangerous (and more fun) at the beginning of your career. You simple follow a ship into it's witchjump and see where it takes you. Anarchies are fun in your new cobra.

My experience of that went something like this:
"Ohh! what's that blue thing? I've not seen one of those before.. I wonder if I can collect it?"
*WHOOSH*
"Holy s**t, what just happened? where the heck am I!?"
*check galaxy map*
"What the-!? a worm hole?"
*beep beep beep*
"Why are my shields...oh no!"
(no ECM, no witchspace injectors, standard peashooter)
I guess I could try and jump to a nearby- *BOOOM!!*
wow... I'm not doing
that again!

Okay, we have talked about thread necromancy, but fixing two-and-a-half-year old typos is a little more silly than I expected.

@ Cheese Redux - well spotted, that chap! We need people like you on the Wikipedia to trawl through the entries and pick up errors!!

Hi there Star Gazer I agree entirely, I can't even pick up basic errors!

Shish! It's impolite to interrupt the musings of the grandfathers (at least that's what youngsters are taught in Tanzania).
