We notice the Galaxy being down sooner than they do, and the answer to 'when will it be up again' is when the person that runs the Galaxy Server (Fooli, right?) sees that the Galaxy is down.

its quicker to start up a client and see if it connects then to come here and look for a sticky topic.

Autopilot: Not for sale currently. I don't know what exactly it does.
Stardrive: Lets you travel between star systems, but costs uridium and is limited. It can transport you even though you have cargo.
Infinite Improbability Drive (infimp): Brings you instantly to any planet in the galaxy, but you have to know the name of it. It can bring you anywhere without costs, but will not work if you are carrying cargo.

with the autopilot, you select a world in the map, hit the autopilot button, and your ship flies thier. it basicly just does all the page up/down and arrow keys for you.

i remember seeing it when the galaxy was still in beta. had alot of bugs still though.

Finite Probability Drive: I don't know exactly what it does.
Point Drive: Use it after selecting a planet in the star system, and you'll be in front of it as if you've typed the name with the infimp.

also, the point drive only works for the system your in. it can't take you accross systems like the infimp can.

think the finite probability drive is like the infimp, but its distance is limited.

ummm didnt i answer that? if the galaxy is down then we are not around to restart the server therfore not able to post a sticky either... if we are around then we are usually trying to get the galaxy running again... therefore still not having a chance to post a sticky :)
