...Grumble...mumble...ok, i'm trying to paste an example of the sort of starfield i'm on about, but I can't seem to do it....anyone care to give a brief tutorial to an idiot like me to explain how to upload images in these posts....big big PLEASE! I certain that once this image kindly borrowed from spaceflight.com's extensive archive is here for all to see, everyone will go, 'why didn't we all think about this yonks ago!' We didn't have any computers at school when I was a kid....

Never. Perhaps the AI figured it would be a 'good idea' to send Luke on his own from Tattooine to Kessel... Say, are you the legendry Grand Moff Conway of the research planet Morgoth, who actually likes Darth Vader's personal company, and who's wife doesn't always agree with your methods, and who has a Cindy Crawford replica android to help out with those tricky diplomatic missions? What an honor! (salutes)

Neat Avatar, i've got Cindy Crawford pole-dancing, you don't want to help me get it 'up and running?'

..I just like the way he kicked off by stating: 'Quite simple really, I cheated!' Yeah, as if he hadn't! I really can be dumb sometimes.

I hate all this....some poor guy aware of a product he can't get anymore drooling at the window.....it rattles my heart, it really does. Given I just got one of my telephonists to spend over half an hour to photocopy all 176 pages of the manual for our new friend out in the Baltic, i'm passing on being the Mr Nice Guy this time. I seriously have a problem with licences and so called piracy in the given situation when a product's been deleated. Someone else do the right thing.

I figured, if Jedi'Steve' thinks it's a cool idea, we could use them wizzing around the site..or...something.....similar...

Heck, I didn't! Sounded just like one of those lecturers who tried in vein to educate me at university as I snored, hung over and half-stoned at the back of the hall....

AGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...............ok, I tried replacing Tactical.dll, entry 5030 pf the 303 group with a rather beautiful starfield I found on NASA's site (I converted it to a Bitmap), and....it didn't work....damn. When replacing it with Resource Hacker it didn't let me rename it though. Help! Anyone got any ideas? I think the idea to replace the starfield in the tactical game is a realy good one....lets put our our heads togetyher chaps!

Look what I found: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/3588/

Nice one dude! Something to try when I get home, get frustrated by, eventually start throwing my mouse about and banging my keyboard cursing my utter inability to anything other play games on a PC...

Unfortunately not on the computer i'm sitting with at work....if you online right now why not send an email with the image to: operations@responsefacilities.com or jahled@madasafish.com I'm seriously bored here....

Jahled: I believe you're asking the same question as i asked somebody some time. Can you have more than the usual 11 or 12 types of capital ship? If that's what you meant, then no, i don't believe this is possible, apparently it's coded into the game, but Greg is planning on having the option to have more in the game. -ElvisMiggel Who's 'Greg?'

...didn't get much sleep last night....swetting, tossing and turning, apparently mumbling and muttering gibberish....woke this morning shivering with a furry face staring at me....the shower water took ages to warm up...as did finding a matching pair of socks...turned on the radio, two blokes having an argument about some war about to happen somewhere east of my local news agent...didn't seem to care....left the house....sludge and bits of ice where there had been snow....the icy wind went straight through me....got to the tube station....lots of people looking sleepy....packed like a baked bean on the train...tried reading the Guardian but the words seemed to fall over the pages onto the floor....got out at Kings Cross to a drizzle of icy rain...no umbrella...reached for a fag....forgotten my lighter.....got to work...asked Rosie to make me a cup of tea...dumb blond left the tea-bag in...again....pressed the return key, shhk the mouse....nothing...looked down...IT department taken hard drive....angry phone call..lots of shouting...IT department appears with hard drive...something not quite right....something on my mind.....angry client put through....Reuters chasing a package to Zurich...I clear my throat:'Chasing your asteroid-field, arn't you!'

Never one for subtlety....a touch extreme wouldn't you think?

I remember once long ago when I was a despatch-rider I had to pick up a sixthteenth centuary Katana from some bloke in Notting Hill and taking it to an auction house off New Bond Street in London's West End. He wrapped it once with bubble wrap and gave it to me. So just picture the sight, me on a 500 CC motorbike with a bleeding Samurai Sword clearly sticking out of my Timbuktu despatch bag roaring down the busiest street in Europe. Only when I got to the auction house did I realize the bubble wrap had completly come off! No bloody wonder the buses and taxis were so dam polite. Anyway, many years later I bought myself a replica 'Honomi,' Katana for £300 (about $450 US dollers?), which I occasionally unsheath and chase my cat around the house with when i've been listening to to much hard rock...but don't worry folks, he always gets a big loving hug when I catch him!

Elvis, ask her why Russion plays all have old women saring out of windows talking about ducks going to Moscow....she'll be very impressed!

Hmmm....the plot thickens Tristar.....a small obvious tip: when sending out your Imperial probe droids put 8 or 9 of them in a carrack cruiser and send them out in an outer rim sector from the ship-it's quicker. Anyway, a despatch rider just droped a brown envelope on my desk with something of interest to you!

I wonder what the population of Alderaan was...

....I reckon poor J.Igor is to worried about being rumbled as her famous career as a polish porn star to concern herself with the frequent ramblings of the_mask....yo! I'm splat out-me-head, i'm a gonna...till tomorrow...Elvis! Wake up! I've words with you tomorrow dude!

Don't feel alone, there's a great deal of us...

This, know we must, yesterday! Go! Go to your multiplayer game! Instruct your opponant! Details of the outcome you will reveal! The mysteries of the asteroid field find you shall. We shall speak again very soon! On the forum your answer, quickly please.

Elvis, dude, you have got to be kidding! 4900? How the heck did you manage that? I remember in one of my early, RebEd-innocent games, I got Luke & Leia to just over 500 each before I got bored of playing 199 against 1 planet (the Empire) and invaded; subsequently winning the game as I captured injured Darth & Palpy. But to get that high I must have gone on at least twenty kidnap missions exclusively with our jedi-duo. Were you that bored you overshadowed this by going on 200? You're beginning to worry me dude! Who else is working at the British Home Office I think the public should know about.............. I think, at your conveniance, I should introduce you to a concept quite simply called: 'A TREE.'

Yeah, you got it on the head pal, I did a net search and found that 'J.Igor' is actually an allias for a well known Polish porn star called Jennifer Igor, the associated images I 'stumbled across' were absolutely shocking! I'm amazed (s)he has the time to host a website for nerds like us inbetween all that....filming...and...photo...shoots..heck, shots!...(gulp)....look, i've said to much...later-

Say, it just occured to me, do reckon I could get ahead writing porn?
