Having read the New Yorker article and the game manual that Grim Reaper posted - thanks for that, it was really informative - my only question is whether that amazing model of the Milky Way is available for single player or it is just for multiplayer? With 400,000 million star systems in the simulation database, I can see my 1 Terabyte hard disk becoming very small all of a sudden. But maybe he's doing some of his magic (Elite 2 was a HUGE game, and it fitted in a couple 720 KBytes disks, if I recall correctly).

Both. Single player is just the same universe with all other player characters barred. The program generates the same way (systems are procedurally generated)
We will see. I'm kind if nervous that they have only opened up about eight systems. Maybe just for bug checking

Wow. Just wow. This is one game which can be played for generations, literally.

was it Prada or Armani?

Ask the guy sorting through the wreckage of my former ship.   :'(

I actually had found some random clothing containers floating about, so I thought I'd had some good fortune for some free cargo.  Ah well. 

I just hope I did enough damage to him to make his adventure less profitable.

well, when one of you guys gets a space station going let me know.  Gus and I are going to open a strip club.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I'll be looking for you now:). I will be the ship that is flying out of control and being shot down by everyone else, so I won't be hard to miss:). I also got confirmation last night that my commander name was accepted, grim.reaper.

JudgeDredd

So the Grim Reaper is flying about in a universe policed by Judge Dredd....cool!  ;D

when you say policed..............  spiralling out of control with your ass on fire i would imagine is more appropriate

My commander name was updated too. Although I'm happy, I do miss my old moniker. I thought Backer #543672 had a nice ring to it.

I requested "MikeCK". We will see if I get it. Last couple of places it's been taken...which is a bit odd. Maybe i have a stalker?
