'If you pick something up from a store by mistake and put it back again, you are chared some money for it (I think).'

Well...I dont think you do anymore. Anyone else had the thing where you go to a system to a 'destroy a ship' mercenary mission, leave the system cos you got your butt kicked, and when you come back to the system the target you have to kill does not exist?

This is one that I hope gets fixed soon. I want to be able to mod ships with a few really big, non-autofiring weapons with long recharge times, and a whole bunch of autofiring guns that work constantly.

You can also add this:

speed slowing damage and true engine damage behave differently. If you are hit with a speed slowing weapon, you slowly drop down to your new speed. If your engines take damage you drop to your new speed -instantly-.

I'd prefer them both to work like speed-slowing damage does, myself..

Have just recently seen a REAL oddity...

An INVISIBLE PLANET!!!

Yep, I entered the system as instructed and docked with a starbase. I got my next instructions and left. On the way out of the system, I hit something invisible!

So I reloaded the autosave game for that system and on way to the Starbase, I saw what I hit... a
planet! This planet was NOT there (at least not visible) on my first entry to system!!

I had previously encountered ships that were not visible, except for a strange light effect, and I thought they must be cloaked - now I wonder if the game glitched while displaying them.

Anybody else see one of these invisible planets?

(...and no my navigator was NOT drunk!)
