Re: Galaxy on Fire 2

What would be, say, the top 3 things to bring to Pioneer?

Re: Additional player logs

So a stats-tab? Why not? Note: the three tabs is a hack because we already had three tables that stored data on each jump, as of several years ago, but they were never used for anything (I think they were meant to be there if any mission scripter needed them), so I just barfed them out to three tabs...

Eventually, she found an unmistakable signal: Between 774–775 AD, she noted a 12 percent jum...

Exposing Decades-Old Secrets in The Colonel's Bequest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2budy3S3MA From 30min onward, there's some funny...
