Some important points that aren't actually important in game but are to me....

[Vingtetun]

1. Where are the heads in my ship? - essential for long journeys as my capacity for vast quantities of ale isn't what it is when I were a lad

2. Do I sleep in that bunk behind and to the side of the cockpit?

3. When I'm docked at station, do I get temporary quarters?

4. When I push other ships out of the way using the SpaceCow, will I in the future be expecting to hear some rather abusive comms chatter from the cobra that is now glued to my hull?

6. Should one tip the engineers, dockers and refuelling technicians for their excellent speedy work. 440 tonnes instantly loaded from a massive selection of materials. Without complaint. I salute you, gentlemen, ladies and "other"

7. Does remlock equipment facilitate the wearing of a beard?

8. What do Saud Kruger make and sell? Their advertising is working on me and I feel the need to spend credits on their marvellous oogimaflips

9. What KIND of fish?

10. Is it possible to play space rugby with cannisters? Can you catch them then run for the line and score? Can you pass to other players? Would the ref stomp on your face for a forward pass? Is the use of weapons to tackle an opponent acceptable?

 

[Milky82]

All very good points and Im sure the Devs are working on them as they sleep

8) I think Saud made the Fer de Lance.

(waits to be corrected)

Edit - checks Alioth - that was Zorgon Peterson. As Mr N-T-W notes below Saud made the shuttles.

Space catheter

2. Do I sleep in that bunk behind and to the side of the cockpit?

No, that's mine and I don't share

3. When I'm docked at station, do I get temporary quarters?

Premier Innerspace

4. When I push other ships out of the way using the SpaceCow, will I in the future be expecting to hear some rather abusive comms chatter from the cobra that is now glued to my hull?

Don't worry, just use the Ignore feature

6. Should one tip the engineers, dockers and refuelling technicians for their excellent speedy work. 440 tonnes instantly loaded from a massive selection of materials. Without complaint. I salute you, gentlemen, ladies and "other"

As a rule I unload 439 just so they need to work out which individual item they need to leave in the hold.

7. Does remlock equipment facilitate the wearing of a beard?

Hairball

8. What do Saud Kruger make and sell? Their advertising is working on me and I feel the need to spend credits on their marvellous oogimaflips

They make space ships/orbital shuttles

9. What KIND of fish?

There's more than one?

10. Is it possible to play space rugby with cannisters? Can you catch them then run for the line and score? Can you pass to other players? Would the ref stomp on your face for a forward pass? Is the use of weapons to tackle an opponent acceptable?

Silent running is frowned upon if only because it gets boring for the crowd

Supplemental:

Does my ship need a spaceworthiness certificate or space mot?

Do I need some accreditation to fly this thing?

If I spill my ale in the cockpit, will it ball up and float around obscuring my vision

Is there a Haynes manual for changing the bulb for the ship's lights?

Do aftermarket modifications invalidate my warranty and/or insurance

Can I get points or speed awareness courses for speeding in station?

How does one bribe plod?

Can I be charged with 'flying furiously'

What happens when I pull that lever?

What is in the white packet?

What is in the white packet?

Have you seen Pulp Fiction? Same as what's in the briefcase.

Well you can never have enough yellow light bulbs I reckon.

Supplemental:

It just needs an exit-the-airlock worthiness certificate. Station crew do not have high hopes for pilot skill, as you can probably tell by the docking antics other pilots get into.

Do I need some accreditation to fly this thing?

Being in the Pilot's Federation is sufficient accreditation.

If I spill my ale in the cockpit, will it ball up and float around obscuring my vision

May I direct you to an instructional video?

Is there a Haynes manual for changing the bulb for the ship's lights?

It is not recommended for the end-user to attempt to manually service any of the photon emitting devices.

Do aftermarket modifications invalidate my warranty and/or insurance

No, but the deductible will increase greatly.

Can I get points or speed awareness courses for speeding in station?

Speeding is fair game so long as the station crews don't need to clean up your splat mark from the walls.

How does one bribe plod?

Generally accepted method is to fire gold canisters at them at high speeds.

Can I be charged with 'flying furiously'

Not unless weapons fire is involved. Since space is not conducive to shouting at crap drivers, the distances too vast to flip them off, and ramming being usually equally fatal for both ships unless in a Type 9; weapons fire is the preferred method of criticising other peoples' piloting.

What happens when I pull that lever?

Ask Kronk.

What is in the white packet?

Baking soda, generally used for polishing the bobbleheads and removing the usual unwanted smells from recycled air. It's worth noting that to police scans, it is indistinguishable from narcotics and will therefore warrant ship destruction.

You didn't get a certificate??? lol

Have you been watching ppl dock? .. that's a no!

If I spill my ale in the cockpit, will it ball up and float around obscuring my vision

Yes, but try and get that ball to float above you and then boost, pull up hard and the try and catch it!
Works for me

Is there a Haynes manual for changing the bulb for the ship's lights?

Haynes got sued into bankruptcy in 2215 for giving faulty advise for sexbot repairs, witch led to several involuntary castrations
So no

Do aftermarket modifications invalidate my warranty and/or insurance

No but they do not fall under the insurance, witch is a real pain.

So far i have gone through 15 x furnishings, 15 0-G ashtray's, 12 0-G coffee machines, 15 identical holo-disc collections, 15 home theater holoprojectors and 40 sexbots.
Ok, not all those sexbots are are from ship destructions... but you get the point, this is really cutting into my profits.
Still don't want to be out there without it!

Can I get points or speed awareness courses for speeding in station?

No you get shot down immediately and be expected to learn from that.
This policy might soon be changed though, do to a lack of success.

How does one bribe plod?

You shoot your pricy missiles in his face. oh! and don't forget to take out any witnesses... you know..., as a tip, a bonus. So his family will remain in ignorant bliss(maybe not the best term) of how shamefully fast and easy you killed him

Can I be charged with 'flying furiously'

No but in some remote systems you can be charged for 'flying fabulously'

What happens when I pull that lever?

It will brake off and you'll hit yourself in the face with it.
Trust me... i know.

What is in the white packet?

Your parachute!
