So one cannot even hang out at the local space fuel distillery to camp any freighters. Shame.

Grr thats a shame.

So there's no way to tell if a ship is a pirate ship, unless you have it set to 'pirates as enemys'

If legitimate traders get 'PO'ed', do they turn red, or cause any reputation hits?

Doesnt detect illegal goods, are you sure? I'm sure I've heard a few times that scanning a ship carting illegal goods, while in possession of that ship's race's police license (or maybe its sector based, not sure) causes that ship to turn red. If it was only pirates, scanning would not seem such a n...

Hence sectors without a polce/local sector defense contingent would be ok?

Well if race reputation is the barrier to capturing ships, this should work wonders.

Ok, I buy an Argon Police License. I then buy X units of spaceweed and travel to a sector containing no police, or a pirate sector. I drop X units of spaceweed. According to others, ships in the X-universe will come to collect the cargo. I wait for a ship to pick up the cargo, preferably a freighter...

Nice run-down lazerath.

It is a shame the game has shipped with such an array of bugs, but I'll weather it for as long as Egosoft maintain a commitment to the release of patches and fixes in order to remove the major ones, or at least alleviate them in some way. In order of preference, anything with the potential to crash ...

haha now esd i remember. live feed within the sector map? nifty

btw, is 'ion'd'ing' using the ion disruptor or is it something else (saw it in another thread)

haha xenon_slayer, the advanced satellites were meant to have a video link you could use to view space traffic from sectors you were not currently in.

Omitted for performance reasons, but just wondering if they ever fixed it up to be useful again.

Hello people. Some of you might remember me being on these forums a long time ago, perhaps the mods, Abyss and CBJ, or Quattro or Omicron. Founder of the UNCC and all that jazz :D Has been a while "You last visited on Mon Aug 30, 2004 12:02 pm", especially since the UNCC, which was made on January 5...

Nice job Omicron.

LOL @ 'animated signature removed - abyss'

Edit: saw your other artworks as well, notably your fairy. Extremely impressive.
