I have added a comment in the PR, here: https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/pull/6234#issuecomment-4537220919 The Billie Bounce advice doesn't work very well. The jump mechanics/travel economy, I think is really good though. I haven't even managed to translate it into my own language, and tha...

○ Skim an atmosphere for atmo samples. Harder ones would need gas giant samples, or even Sun corona samples. Might pay by the ton of samples returned, but with an upper limit. Plot twist. The atmo samples could be, or could have been, to detect the molecular signature of a ship that is suspected to...

Great idea! Ships spawned by data/modules/Pirates.lua have a bounty to their head depending on ship tonnage/model (and weapons?). Size of bounty should be significantly lower than assassination mission rewards. I would suggest not all pirates have a bounty on their head. In onShipDestroyed, pay boun...

I had an idea for corona mining but that turned out to have been used before in Sci-Fi, according to Grok. And the same source said the science around it was questionable. Maybe you could mo...

Thanks! This was fun and a good cooperation. It looks like it ended up more your strings this time.
Definitely for the better. I may be more a conceptual kind of guy. :P

I have a branch that adds 'News' that are there just for advice / information about the universe. Cool! Half of a ship's mass when the tanks are full consists of fuel. If you're doing shorter runs, or if you know for certain that you will have enough margin, you may fill up the tanks to a lower deg...

Updated Advice. 1st and 3rd are your strings and running on fumes I rewrote. TRAVELLER'S ADVICE #203 The Billie Bounce detour - When you find yourself in the outskirts of a system and need to return to the inner planets, a detour to a sufficiently close neighbouring system might be the fastest way. ...

Thanks! I'm glad I brought it up here first rather than in a PR. I find it quite frustrating to write in English and some of the strings I suggest in PR's seem perfectly logical to me and just don't seem to reason with anyone else in the project. Oh, well. I don't think that I would do any better if...
