Though that rule doesn't count on Dec 31st, or days near that date.

hmmm....

not flying randomly into the sun would be good for starters

(mit ses he's fixed that bug)
maybe some places actually stocking science equipment
cheaper uridium in the outlerlying systems (a wee niggle of mine)

get yourself a l40 stardrive and explore wider - better routes, more opportunities...

Main stuff to be included in the next patch (in addition to the various bug fixes) that'll affect those few of you who like exploring deep space is a bunch of new, rare, 'space encounters'. I'm not gonna go into great detail about what or where they are - half the fun is in findin em - but they will add a few extra opportunities for unique gains (and devestating losses ;] ). There'll be at least 20+ systems across the galaxy with 'unique' features (which includes a bunch of new stargates).

Dunno when itll all be done atm. Non-smoking, work and wedding-planning has pretty much drained me of any energy & enthusiasm for doing extra-cirrucular coding atm (and the donations fund isnt providing enuf incentive or whiskey to counter that either, hint hint ;] )

all sounds intriguing! (not sure i like the sound of "devastating losses" tho.....)

congrats once more on the upcoming marriedness. hope you and the future mrs-mit are not stressing too much about it all

well done on the smoking too!

whisky fund will find a little replenishment when we get paid

the hint was aimed more at all those other peeps who've never donated yet :]

You get me a job that pays well, and I'll donate

Space encounters? pssshflaw! Shouldn't you be creating the promised asteroid mining e.t.c?

At this rate we'll see one of gk's strange ideas before the asteroids

.. "at this rate" not meant to be derogatory...
