Nice!

Trying it out.

Edit: Mmmh there seem to be a problem with ship repairs, I have 400 credits and 2 hull out of 5 and it does nothing when typing in 3. Never mind forgot I had to type the total, it's working fine.
The rest look good so far.

[magellan]

Arghhh... I keep forgetting to change that!
It expects you to enter the new repaired total (so to repair to 5 you need to enter 5) (I know, makes no sense at all).

pretty pimp, sir.  pretty pimp indeed.  it has been a while for me, but i'm looking forward to picking up this litte gem again.

yeah so I dock the ship at game start and I am at something i havent seen before, am I inside the ship?

edited out because I am stupid.

You now start at the border, at a "truckstop". Sorta like a mini station, thats where the first docking takes you. Can't earn money there(or very hard to do so), but they don't take docking fees. It's mainly there as an emergency fallback, should you have trouble getting to a real station at the beginning of the game.

Why does this make me laugh more then anything else? Hey Magellan I have a suggestion!

If the Fallback station can have a name, can one of them be "Desire"?

i think i noticed that you can change the tile resolution in the config area. Hrm...

Hey DEON! make us some super sweet tiles man!

Tiles 

Credit where credit is due: I stole & adapted most of them from here:
http://pousse.rapiere.free.fr/tome/index.htm

As for changing their size: actually, what you can change in config is text size for main/side windows. To change the graphical tiles you'd have to change 2 variables (_tix and _tiy) in the code and recompile. Though putting those 2 into config as well would be about 2 minutes work.

Erm... ok
erm. nope.
sorry, don't get it

[Cheese]

I haven't really played this that much, it's actually kinda awesome.

[Neonivek]

sorry, don't get it

It is a bit dated I know.

Though it is because of its status as some sort of weird bus stop that reminded me of it.

Clue: I've always depended on the kindness of strangers

Are you referring to the "Tram called wanting" by Indiana Jones?

Edit: actually I came here to report a bug, or indeed two of them.
a) when you sell stocks, you sell from all of the companies at once (even though the game asks you to chose one)
b) sometimes (rarely. Ok, just the one time) after selling stocks the game will crash with this message "0.1.14 Error #6 in  1939:PORTFOLIO D:/Prospector/src/Googlecode/cargotrade.bas"

Unfortunately I am refering to a Streetcar named desire.

Where the character Blanche enters the plot through said streetcar.

I just had an unconscious amphibian chase me around O.o

I found a heavy scout full of dead people in space, took it over, has some nice weaponry too 
E: Game crashed upon entering combat with a ship I discovered in an asteroid field. Fortunately it had autosaved.
