If that's possible then you can use any type of cargo for propellant. 😕

that's what i thought about...

but they should have some comprehensible ( 😉 ) efficiency

no, water is ok, at least we have a propellant* and we use up no longer nothing, that's fine.

*there is no real substitution/translation for propellant in german, "treibstoff" is fuel as well, it doesn't have to fullfill the conditions for propellant.

(10 mins later; "that's difficult")

note to myself: buy a giant juice press

Pilots union protest rising costs

example:

$ 10 for carrying a package of Epsilon Cove at Eagles Nest.

$ 6 for spaceport tax and propellant.

Gain only $ 4 ???

So you can not live!

A strike!

i guess balancing the economy will need some work, but i feel to that it's actually something not very important.

but as you started to "hack" pioneer, you are free to do so and take care of the balance, i would appreciate it 😎

yes, 4$ income is extreme little

especially when the next ship costs you 20'000$, it can take a little while this way.

when fighting was a easier (the days when i made the Star-Wars ships), i really played a lot pioneer, i never started to carry goods and did postal service only >1000$ or concentrate on assassinations.

i also fitted the scripts to my needs, means i increased rewards and danger.

check the script for the postal runs, i guess shouldn't be a big thing to find a better balance there.

carrying goods is not very effective to get rich, only a few goods provide a good income.

i would really appreciate if the economy would get a better balance, it makes no sense to me to have so many goods but only a few are worth to carry and if you can make some postal runs that get's you >1000$ each why should you carry a good that will get you 0.2$ earnings?

in pioneer we have no social lifeguards, you are free to strike, but you havn't even the 4$ income then.

unfortunately people get forced to do crime in pioneer, but somehow this sounds very familiar to me.

and you like to teach your grandson that crime is evil, well that's quite a problem.

murder was a problem for players of frontier to and the proper imagination is that you only destroy the ship, you just preassume that all larger ships have a escape pod and it's no longer a killing 😉 .

for pirates you don't have to care, they are themselves into debt and like to kill you, you have no choice...

i have a idea,

perhaps one bright day we don't have to kill for a "removal" and we will have the opinion to call the pilot of the target ship, instead of the well known "Ha, Ha, Ha," you get perhaps the answer that he's willing to give up. you would have to manage to lay on (not really docking, only match speed and direction close to the enemies ship) and you can perhaps, if your ship is big enough and provides at least a cargo life support, get the villains aboard.

Alpha 20 will have a completely re-written package delivery script. It's pretty awesome.

Hello postmoke.

I have solved the problem by joining The Church of The Heavenly Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Will you make a donation? 🙄

helped to lower the amount of pirates? 😆

then i'm a sole remnant from better days in 3200

Now seriously, are doing a great job with Pioneer.

Compile daily changes in the dev version and I have more fun with my dear archlinux.

Thanks to you who make it possible.
