Is it possible to turn off the end game date/penalty and just play until you've explored everything? One thing I found a little weid in SAIS is that you could die and get a better score than if you survived but made it back to your home planet late.

This is not an issue in WW:RtIS.
If everything goes normally, you'll have enough time to visit every star systems. With some gadgets, you'll even beback some years early

Well it wasn't an issue in SAIS, really. The penalty for late return was purposefully high in order to force you to heed it, which then meant that you *had* to make decisions based on how long it would take you to do things, which was a really key aspect of the gameplay.

If you could take as long as you wanted to play each game, you would not have played it in the same way.

Shadowcat: Are you the same Shadowcat I know over at TTLG? Welcome aboard.

Yes indeed

(and thanks)

Hopefully we'll see you over at ISF shortly!

*cue mysterious music*

I'm itching to get my hands on Weird Worlds... I hope the shipping is quick! It's never fun to have to see everyone else talking about it and still be waiting...

I might have come to ISF, but the mysterious music reminded me of Shalebridge... and I ran away.

Heh. Well I can't comment on that, I'm afraid. My PC is well up to running Weird Worlds, but pretty much chokes on Thief 3

I suspect that ISF should be a little more inviting than Shalebridge, though

"My PC pretty much chokes on Thief 3..."

But ISF is considerably friendlier, yes.
