Some things...

* Now that we have hidden cargo compartments, how do we make Tayla give you one in the plot? I can't seem to make it happen.

* Should the "public" release (which I hope we can advertise on wcnews) allow you to buy the extra ships from start?

* Cookies!

* Anyone up for doing some base/planet backgrounds and similar things, or do we advertise what exists on wcnews now?

* who was redoing system distances? i forget ^^;

* http://shiver.therogue.net/ultimateotp/ cute sprites.

I am doing distances and planet sizes Spirit, I will have the stuff finished really soon. But as I told you in my e-mail, I have the feeling we could use a few more polys for the bigger planets so they look a bit more round.

Which backgrounds do you need, spirit? I'm almost all set, except for this stupid optical mouse... driving me insane; I'll try to get a new one today. I'll see if I can get a wireless optical; I can't imagine a battery powered mouse overheating... knock on wood...

Planet polys can be defined in vsconfig... it's somewhere in the graphic options

backgrounds... mostly:

* mining planets (edit base)
* ocean planets (edit agri)
* kilrathi bases

I'm just back from my mouse-hunt with an interesting specimen: A Labtec Wireless Optical. I'll see if it works...

YEY! This mouse flies! No problem so far. So, Spirit; I'm gonna try and finish the Kat Bar, namely removing the kitty cushions and putting back tables. Is this what the Retros want? It will be a good mouse test. With the Sony Optical I had an overheating problem whenever I used the mouse continuously for a few minutes, and the left mouse button started acting like a right mouse button, and the right button stopped working altogether; --and had to wait for it to cool down, then it worked again...
This Labtec wireless optical I just bought shows no problemo so far, but we'll see when I vacuum the Kat Bar floor with Gimp's smudge tool. Then I'll have to import the tables and chairs.
Someone else please paint a kat bartender and fixers; I don't think I can.
Then I'll try to do a Kat Base. Allright, back to work.

The public release should let you buy extra ships from the start. Yes. And yes again. Just a thought
