Not really; for some odd reason, I thought of stupid aliens who land near some unsuspecting soul who nobody's ever going to believe then walk in front of him, wearing silly antennae and making "beep beep" noises.

Nice fast small ship, next to no cargo space, cramped living quarters, somewhat on the weak side but can run. They're a bit on the rare side, though there's one which is quite a bit tougher than the others but has a complete coward for a pilot… :mrgreen:

These ships aren't widely available, and tend to be hung onto by their owners. Something to do with production capacity, I think :)

(I'll probably tweak and update this a bit soonish.)

Try DR and Quinch Have Fun on Earth ... not quite the same thing, but close!

Did somebody mention Vogons? :)

Anyway, v1.0.1 is now available: one bug fix (exhausts), and one new feature (player). Warning: not suitable for traders…
