Pro (lol) tip* - The trade screen now has an option to Request Information from the AI. Save up some Ducats and pump the Friendly AI for as much info as you can. You might be surprised at the results.

Another awesome thing about EM: we have pilots flying around who call themselves 'Rubber Chicken'! Lmao!

Hooray for cargo stacking. If your cargo has something in each slot, tractoring a matching item will fill it one unit at a time until it is maxed at 25.

From post: 150790, Topic: tid=10070, author=hank wrote:This is an admiration for Vice's programming skills. The download size is amazingly small for what the program does.

I looked into downloading WC Saga, the latest Wing Commander game. That download is 3.4 or more gigabytes (I know it has some big video files but wow that's a big dL). Heck, I have good internet connection and computer ... I never let it go more than a few seconds because it would take 12 HOURS + to download it. I've downloaded some big stuff but no game that big.

I get more bang per byte with this game than any other I can recall. It took 45 seconds to download. I set the planet modelling to the best and that only took a few minutes.

Fun game. The autopilot sequences are a pain and can't be skipped. It's WC in Freespace wrapping. But yes, I to am amazed at EM's small footprint. Vice must have access to otherworldly time/space compression technology.

The weapon lab is cool , but starting out i could someone getting their hands on a very dangerous gun early on , The materials should end up being around 10 tabs , so you need the cash to pay for the hanger to balance it all.

I agree, Weapons lab is very cool. I made me a nice fusion cannon that seems to work nicely on reds. I'll have to search around for all the building blocks again for a custom beam weapon.

One thing about the one and only custom gun I've made is that the price is very low considering its yield, range and cycle time. I first noticed the price in Arvoch but maybe other places I can get more $ for it.
