Getting information from other ships via Trade Console

[Filament]

This is very, VERY cool!

Of all the great things Vice implemented in this release (and they are MANY)....

...this is in the top 25% of what I like about this version.

You can get coords for interesting stuff, build a composite picture on factions that have contracts on you, and once I even changed an AI's "mood" to be more forthcoming with info by bouncing a few rounds off their hull.

Lots to like here ... immersion, graphics, sound/music, ambient vox comms., walker missions/exploration - and on and on...
THANKS, Vice! Splendid job!!

You can get coords for interesting stuff....

Yup. The price of getting the information is usually high ... and sometimes you get stiffed. But, other times, you'll get coordinates to places high or low. Places you'd never come across cruising along the galactic plane. For the die-hard explorer, it's a really nice option.

Yeah it is cool. : )

I found some interesting places that I probably
never would have found just from exploring.

Okay, I SWEAR this happened to me last night. I got a trade request while I was in a Station, so I accepted. The message went something like "They're on to me! Here! Take this Contraband!"

And a Shield Regenerator thingie showed up in my inventory.

How freakin' cool is THAT!

Heh heh... I had a 'contraband' contract in a system that was fairly balanced, as to factions (leaning Navy/Energy).

I didn't have a scanner, and didn't feel like given something in one of my 8 slots up - so I roasted anything in the vacinity of the coords given that had "Guild" or "Rebel" labelled.

After 3-4 ships, I got "mission complete!"
