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.

...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.
