Love it Drew - bravo!

Only one observation - at the beginning of the chapter there is, perhaps, too much "full power" and the like - the Eclipse at the end of the chapter was a barely flying wreck - I expected smoke, crackles of burning conduit and flickering lights, not seemingly fully operational scanners and the like.

Just my 0.02cr worth.

Yes, that's probably fair. I need to find a bit more vocabulary for the throttle controls (in my defence I spent most of the time working on the dialogue and Rebecca/Zerz arc) - and I'll up the description of the ship later on (I like your suggestions!). I guess I was trying to describe it 'in game' as it were, as I don't think the scanner/screen can fail in Oolite itself (maybe a cool OXP idea there?!) - but good suggestions - will incorporate during the tidyup/consolidation/rewrite!

Cheers,

Drew.

Happy to play a tiny part in this masterpiece - I like reading it after Disembodied has been through it - it saves me looking for typos and I can get on with enjoying the story - he is thorough!

I'm thinking of putting him on a retainer!
