Uploaded this to oosat2 again... Does it need approval before it appears? Couldn't see it on the list.

Cheers,

Drew.

Yeah have to wait for Winston to OK it before it comes up on the list.

@Drew - visited the pulsar using your supplied saved game. Very nice. look forward to visiting with my real pilot sometime in the near future.

Glad you enjoyed the trip!

I'll be adding more stuff to the Tianve System as time goes on, so hopefully it won't be just the pulsar.

Remember, strictly no zero-g cricket

Cheers,

Drew.

I've uploaded some minor bug fixes for this now. Nothing major.

I've renamed it to 'Tianve v0.1' as I intend to increase the content of this beyond just a pulsar and give the whole Tianve system a make over in time.

Keep you posted.

Cheers,

Drew.

@Drew - any particular reason for Tianve? Random or some deep Freudian reasoning?

Look forward to your further expansions!

PS - How are the book sales going? Well I hope (not got my copy yet - although I did put it on my list for Santa) (he's probably been blown up on route

)

I sort of 'adopted' Tianve as home when originally playing Elite back in the early 80s. I also wrote some (really bad teenage angst) Elite fiction based around that planet as a starting point back in 1985

I guess I also liked the name too for some reason.

As for the OXP content I'm an astronomy buff in my spare time so was intrigued by putting a few astro effects into the game.

Books sales.... according to Cafepress 18 copies have gone out. (Including 2 for me - one which was sent to Giles). Hopefully a few more people out there will want one, they're especially cheap at the moment due to the weak dollar!

Cheers,

Drew.

If that's the case I'd sack the reinder escorts.
