Alright, I went ahead and emailed the save to the email address provided in the error notice.

What do you do with alien art? I picked up a bunch of alien art by trading with aliens, but it doesn't sell when I talk to the station office.

Also, how do you collect money for missions? I got a mission to map a specific planet at a specific x,y location. I went there and maped the entire planet walking over every single tile using jetpacks. Went back to base, no reward. Went back to the place and mapped the entire solar system, every tile of every planet, and still no reward.

Did you go back to eridiani explorations or to another base?

[Paul]

Yes. I then went to the other two bases just to make sure I hadn't mixed them up.

I just had another mission in a new game (died in that one to an unexpected pirate attack containing several cruisers) where I was supposed to find a lifeless very dense exotic atmosphere planet. I found one with 10% chance of life and didn't see any life forms there. Did it need to just not have any life forms present, or actually be 0% chance of life?

[Little]

Is there any way to record which base has which office and on what star the pirate base is hidden in?

[magellan]

Hmm... ok, will have to look at that then.
Theoretically it would have to have the right atmosphere, no critters and no plants. You get a message if you start from a planet that qualifies.

[Ampersand]

That sounds like retirement.

No one retired. And the bit of my inventory that vanished was a laser drill, not a weapon or armor. In fact, it was only my first excursion out. I did get hit dead on by a Comet while on the planet, though. Might that have something to do with it?

Yeah, I was comet mining. I had something like 7000 resources.

[Tilla]

I've decided to blog a bit about Prospector out of boredom, will link you all when it's up on Dtoid. Might get you some new fans

[ductape]

I still think Magellan might be Toady...

[Ampersand]

Think Prospector is the Supar Sekrit Month End Project he allegedly stopped working on?

[BishopX]

No, I don't think Toady would go as far as setting up a separate forum.

In other news, I love the fact that you can tunnel through mountains now!

[Neonivek]

While Prospector isn't the most ambitious project presented in the Other Games Forum (Id rate it 2nd-4th) what with the Mech game, Roguelife, and Airlands.

It is by far the one that actually has results and is also still visually developing.

So congradulations Magellan!

[Micro102]

comet mining? you mean those gray blocks next to planets?

[Ampersand]

comet mining? you mean those gray blocks next to planets?

I mean standing on a rogue planet, and waiting for comets to collide with it and leave behind large ore deposits.

[Paul]

I was wrong about the exotic atmosphere one being lifeless. I just didn't look around good enough - I found a single critter. It seems to do a good job at avoiding me

[Micro102]

O lol aren't those meteors?

Anyway i found this ship filled with fast and armored robots. I slowly carved my way through it, fighting off one robot at a time, until i came to this 3x3 room FILLED with robots. I couldn't kill them all. Until i realized that "f" "direction" shoots multiple things at once. so i shot a hole in the wall and ripped 10 robots to pieces in seconds.

The robots kept respawning too

Now the question is....Why cant i take this ship? I found a ton of supplies and cryocells and some disintigrators. Can these ship peices be transferred to my new ship?
