Not sure.
There are imp. ship detection systems already.

Hmm... a "tactical-news-feed" subscription perhaps:
Company ships engaging and defeating pirate fleets report the next time they dock at a station, and if you pay for the subscription (like 5 Cr per docking or thereabouts) you get to know where the battle took place, marking the place on the map. Then again that would provide a whole lot less of info than the ship detection systems already do, so i am not sure if it would be really a worthwile feature (Though it definitely would be kinda fun to watch).

Buying threat assessments would be nice. There have been  X pirate attacks in the last 100 turns, the average fleet has Y ships. The largest ship sighted is a Z at (a,b). Also, can we please hunt pirates for looted cargo?

I love this game and my only request is that someone make a tileset(i.e. Mike Mayday). I know, I have offended you purists, but it's such a fun game and would find a larger audience.

Just my half pence.

There is a tile set included in the game. You can turn it on in the option, press the = key to access them.

Actually while there are tiles they are
a) ugly
b) tiny
c) incomplete

I've decided before i tackle a) and c) (There was a volunteer for that, don't think i forgot, neonivek ;) ) i need to tackle b, which is a tad trickier than you'd think. (Especially with all the hardcoded "Print this here" stuff)

Your game is brilliant and has excellent potential. I write for a gamesite and would love to ask you a few questions if you are interested at this point.

It would be for GameCritics.com if I get editorial approval. I also get paid to write for 2 others but Prospector doesn't fit in with their agendas.
At work on a review blog of my own, but I want to get more eyes on this story than my lil' blog could deliver.

Don't think I forgot about it, magellan, this game is getting better at every update!

Too bad I died like 20 times, so I'm giving myself sometime before I call myself a loser.
Actually, I think I die too much because I risk too much, hmm.

72 pages, what do you think about that?

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

Remember the game is all about how tough the game is right from the getgo

Which oddly enough makes it the reverse of most roguelikes (well... ignoring exploits)

They should be on the bottom left, although you might need to buy a navigation computer first.

And to know your coords on a planet, you need the portable satellite.

Ahoy.

I have a bug report or two for you here, Magellan.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This was on one of the "Important" planets, that show up darker on the map. I'm tempted to say they're not randomly generated. There was no scanner-message about the world, but when I landed on it and finally managed to get off again, sure enough it was darkened.
Is this supposed to be some world of drug influences?
The critters worked, but the terrain did not.

I also found
