to take cargo, you need to kill someone carrying cargo
you mean in personal combat? Can I board a ship or anything?

In space, he meant.  Pirating is like dwarf fortress's adventure mode - incomplete.

Is it normal to get bombarded with messages from my crew saying everything is going great and that I'm awesome?  Dudes, we're just exploring a rogue planet.  I agree the resources are nice.

Yeah, it's normal. It's a bit strange, though, that after loosing a crewmember or two they will still say that you're the best captain ever. The captains around this universe must be pretty damn bad.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Apparently hallucinations can occur in my crew when I land on a wild planet...I just ignored it, I managed to survive.  Are there any effects that I should worry about?  That save game's already gone, but in the future, I wouldn't want to control a team full of raving lunatics.

No long term effects. You can't probably stop them if you switch over to your own oxygen supply in the tanks.

I've had hallucinations even while breathing through helmets personally.

To anyone with the crash on docking with mainstation, the fuckup is occuring with XP allocations. I think its happening when a grunt is taking the space of a named crew member (pilot, research ect)

A crude work-around is to dismiss EVERYONE when you loose one of the named crew and rehire everyone.

...

Crude and annoying lol

I don't care that the vacuum people are promising a blowjob machine in the future. I'll buy it then if they ever deliver.

Do what I would do, run screaming like a little girl, or die valiantly, but vainly.

And learn which types of special planets contain said killing creatures and avoid them.

Yeah, for me, it's always a gamble on planets with high life.  The good news is, since I have every single one of my crew supplied with gyro jet guns, I have a decent ( I think ) amount of firepower, enough to roast the numerous centipedes.  The blasted things just can't penetrate the armor of those blasted spiders, however.  What's the best weapon, both in firepower, and cost-effectiveness?

I'd guess Plasma Rifles. They're the best buyable weapon as far as I know. Not sure on their cost effectiveness, though.

The best find-able weapon is the almighty

That goes for the ship-mounted ones, too.

The gyro jet guns seem pretty bad at penetrating insectoid natural armor, they seem to do fine against mammals and less durable species.
