Ibol,
+1
Yes a flow chart for us crafting challenged would be awesome!!

1. I'd still like a response I could use for the Tentaculon "The Ionic Accumulator" quest. How about a code I could use right now for the proper device?

2. This is close to being my all-time favorite computer game. And I've been playing computer games fanatically since 1969! The 1969 game was a stock market simulation on an IBM mainframe.

3. My all-time favorite PC game is Starflight (1986). This game Approaching Infinity reminds me of Starflight in many ways. I wonder if the developer Bob Saunders has played that great oldie?

4. This game has really good graphics, for what it is. But one thing I'd really like to see is dorky graphics of the aliens when you're talking to them, or fighting with them. That wouldn't be hard to program.

5. Is it still possible to make a Kickstarter donation to get the Daily Codes and to be glorified in the opening screen?

6. I'm on a campaign, under various UIDs, to promote this game. It's my favorite game in a LONG time--and I play the best PC games every day.

Lord Felix, thanks for the kind words. "favorite game of all time"... hard to know what to say, but THANKS!

We are working hard on getting the first update out to you all, which fixes these quest-device issues, as well as others, and adds a lot of small features as well.

Response by the numbers:
1.
2/5/15 code for ion accumulator:
!zm*GPK2
2/6/15 code for ion acc, in case you missed it:
@2K*jxKy

2. THANKS! I remember playing stock market sims with a friend in the 80s, but I think he had an early lap-top...no mainframe

3. I am aware of it, but I have barely played it. Studied it some, but don't have the time now.

4. we are working on getting some 'alien individuals' of each race into the game, as "monsters". Maybe you mean like seeing their faces in embassies? not sure about that one....

5. I hesitate to ask for more money. I also hesitate to refuse from someone who asks. If you want, you can contact me at saunders72 at Hotmail dot com
(you can all contact me about whatever...my email address is all over this forum...)

6. Thank you so much! If you could provide me links, either here or in private, that would be great. Maybe we can get the ball rolling with a few more voices.

Really, Lord Felix, thank you.
Bob

Bob, Thanks much. The code worked.

Here's a review I just published: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/0...Miss-This-Game .

Daily Kos is the most active political site on the planet and with tens of thousands of frequent users it is one of the overall most active sites. Big posts like that are called diaries, and they are often republished to Facebook, etc.

Noon is not the best time to publish at Daily Kos. I may republish that when it's more prime time, like Friday night.

Okay, this is the bug report thread, so I seem to have another Tentaculon bug! The Ion Accumulator worked and I easily finished that quest. The next quest is to investigate a black hole. But they didn't give me any device. Circling the black hole in the sector (with or without the Gravity Repeller device installed) gives nothing.

Am I missing another device?

PLEASE DISREGARD. Figured it out. Duh!

Lord Felix,

Good job finding whitespace

I am reading your post now. I like it.
but I must point out a few errors.
1. the game is *not* available on steam. only thru shrapnel. that could really throw some people off.
2. I am IBOL , not Iboli (I'm only 1/8 Italian!) (pronounced "Eye-Ball")
3. I don't live in PA anymore, but that's basically irrelevant.

and actually having finished reading it, that's it. those 3 little things.

It's a really great read and I thank you for it.

Lord Felix · #58 February 6th, 2015, 07:28 PM

IBOL, thanks for the corrections, which I've fixed.

The article is republished at this link:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/0...Miss-This-Game

I trust it will get a bit more attention on a Friday night. Posts on that forum sometimes have more than 1,000 responses.

Everybody is free to republish or distribute that article as you wish, so long as you don't somehow reveal my real name.

Incidentally, the only trouble with getting to Whitespace is that henceforth there is zero need for scrounging of common commodities, since one has so many millions of credits. At the moment I'm just zooming around buying bigger ships and looking for trouble. My shields are now at 10,000!

10,000 huh? That's a good start...

(I ended up in a similar situation after a bug in the monk questline.)

I'd like to know what that bug was, but
SECTOR 5003 ?!
