Very good point!;)

I think doing a fulcrum jump is the only way to wake up the crew members. That's why they only ever speak after you've jumped into a sector.

What's a calculator
Something that Calcs You later........LOL.....:P:P:P:P

If your navigation officer isn't doing his job properly you should calc him later! Not sure what that is tho'... maybe something to do with calcium?

Or Cryogenic. Or Complete. Or Conditional (giving him the chance to plead for his life).

Location of Container:

X ###
Y 18123,47
Z ###

That's pretty awesome Wasp, many thanks!

I think container triangluation is going to be the next addition to the nav log program...

I never even thought of that! Sig updated...

That waypoint is a darn good idea - if the pilot only specifies one heading, that's what the program will do...

In my ship, the science officer calls out pitch and heading. The pilot (me) is usually off daydreaming.
