I think you need to change your chart. Every place that you have 'Pirate' you need to put 'Variable' because they all work like the Prince -- if they use Pirates, they hire them out, too. (But if they normally hire out something else, they keep that, so ex-Bounty Hunters that use Pirates don't provide Pirates, they provide Pistoleers, and Diplomats who use Pirates provide Diplomats, etc.) I think others are variable as well -- in my most recent game, the Warlord didn't provide repairs, but Armour, the High Prince did not provide Ship Discounts -- but the Starport Commander did provide ship upgrade discounts, not repair ones. The Sage of Records does indeed provide Mechanics now, but fallen says that this is a bug, and they will stop providing recruits. I forget who all were providing gear, but more than your list.

grävlingThis sure isn't Moses coming down from the mountain with the stone tablets. I added an icon to the top as a warning. You are correct. I'm glad to hear a reliable source confirm it. This is like a piece of scratch paper, so I can remember where I put the data while testing. I can update it in real time during play using split screen. I'm looking for averages. Does x give missions but y doesn't, that sort of thing. It's becoming a routine to thank you for all your help, but never taken for granted.

By the way, does anyone know whether any of the available contacts offers Blockade Missions? It just seems to be the only operation type left out. Might be a good option for the Saboteur or Traitorous Contacts.

I am getting blockade missions from Military Commanders. 'Economic Squeeze' is a blockade mission.

I'm planning to play a Blockading Pirate on this current release, so will keep an eye out for the Military Commander. Thanks!

John Robinson - you are, indeed, the bomb. Sometimes I feel like I am following you around, watching the great work you do, and then stealing it and making it a WIKI page

John Robinson - you are, indeed, the bomb. Sometimes I feel like I am following you around, watching the great work you do, and then stealing it and making it a WIKI page You cannot steal what you inspire. Talk about watching? I look at yours and Cory's latest posts every time I logon. (I'm going to throw myself off the roof If I miss another twitch.) Priceless and treasured praise coming from you. Thoughts of you and Cory watching the last 3 years? The tireless work I've witnessed, the affection, passion, patience, incredible creativity, makes me proud to walk in the shadows of giants. (walk? more like peddling my tricycle as fast as I can!) P.S. Blown away by the latest release! The beautiful resource icons at the exchanges are just part of it, list of things I like in the making.

John Robinson there's a very good reason that many of us call her Queen Officer Genious. She makes us laugh with her jokes, stories, and presence here on the forum. Oh my Queen How do I love thee Let me count the ways ,,, Wait a minute, I'm a farm animal She doesn't live in the south or come from Scotland This could be illegal

Took me a bit, but here's a clumsy effort to describe you. Aww, it ain't no big deal, everyone needs to smile at some point in the day. And honestly John, you are awesome. We may tease you some times but you are definitely well-liked here, no doubt about it. Going to ruin the moment by sending a smiley face torp at you now. == > John Robinson there's a very good reason that many of us call her Queen Officer Genious.
