Diary of a Intergalactic Trader

While exploring the vast infinites of space I came upon many worlds and their corresponding spaceports yet not a single one of them has a point drive or a fipro drive (both of which are listed in the cockpit side panel). I was wondering... when were\will these (be) availible? The same thing goes for items like the steller freighter and the cargo bay extension (both of which are technically availible but are out of stock). I have been spending a great deal of time in space for lack of something better to do ("time passes slowly" goes indepth about this).

p.s. If anyone else has some time to kill you can make some gal. creds (128 per load of 40) by selling metal to swabs spaceport. If you have a pirate ship (there were two left at wings field last time I checked) you can make the trip from planitia to swabs in about a minute 30 seconds.

If you look closer (or get a stronger perscription lense) you'll see that I spoke not a word of the infinite improbability drive.

[To the game designers: isn't the use of things such as the McDonalds, Kispy Kreme and Infinite Improbablity Drive an infringement on some sort of copyright law?]

I personally havent used any references to McDonalds or Kispy Kreme (whateva that is :] ) .. Should any world owners be doin that, they're doin it on their own puters and must be willing to accept any consequences of that.

The 'infinite improbability drive' - well, i consider that more of a homage to its source, and hopefully would be taken in the complementary way its intended. I doubt its a copyright
issue, but if it were I'd happily rename the item.

The availability and usefulness of the other items you mentioned will be added and extended over time.. thats pretty much covered by the news post i made about the gal stuff being very wip for a while...

gee, ain't you a friendly person.
a simple "i said the fipro, not the infimp" would have been a much nicer way to point out a mistake then making some tacky insult about glasses.

i am so obscenly dramatically sorry to misread your post so much and that i offended you to the point that you felt the need to insult be back.

oh um.. and so starts another random off-topic flaming thread. I sometimes wonder why i bother with these forums

i really wish you wouldnt have to take it all so seriously :]

I'm sorry you felt insulted by my remark about poor eyesight, I just was unsure if fipro was where you misread my post and not some other word, so I just resorted to humor to get the general point across (plus as mentioned before I have too much time on my hands

). And as Mit just added (as I was proofreading this post) little to none of what is said here is to be taken very seriously.

sorry if it was humerous and i took it the wrong way.

when reading the post i saw the fipro and thought you meant infimp. wasen't until recently when i thought 'oh wait, thiers a finite probability drive' or whatever its called. nobody ever talks about it so i had forgotten about it

Oh is that what fipro is !? I thought it was some lousy name that lacked any real meaning.
