If you send it to another player, use Xsav01.
In the german SMPC³tc we have an own FTP Server to upload the savegames.
Named with sav, round, date and nick (example: X01_R1_20052009_TP.rar).

For this we got the
statistic topic (
de).
It's a short way to show other players, what you have done.
Example:
* Captured Terran TL (Atmospheric Transporter).
* Buyed Boron SPP (L). Build up in Elysium of Light.
* Buyed 10 Mistrals (L) and 2 Argon Mercurys (L).
- Mistral Sector-Traders (training to universe-traders) in: Elysium of Light, Ore Belt, Paranid Prime, Bala Gi's Joy, Light Water, Seizewell, Family Whi, Saturn, Venus and Aldrin.
- 2 Mercurys and 200.000 Credits for the SPP
* Making some 'protect factorys' Missions.
* Making some 'Buy Stations' Missions.
...
* Buyed Terran TL and Argon TL.
* Now we have: 20 Credits
I killed some borons in the split sectors, so the borons are not friendly yet.
But i made a few Yaki Missions, so we can dock on there stations (shipyard!). But the teladis hates us now ...
etc.........

..eg generally the character is on good terms with most races,but one player decides to go pirating and upsets the status-quo every time he gets to play.
Think, we must talk about.
What's the big goal? A trader company? To play as an pirat?
Think it's like, which start you choose.
If all (the most) choose a teladi start, most of the time you will trade and build up factorys.
If you start as a pirat, most of the time you will make 'escort' missions or capturing ships.
But the one does not exclude the other.
TTD wrote:I do not understand German,so I have not been able to look at your sites properly....so are there a list of rules (do's and Don't's) for the way you guys over there play?
The rules in my first post (look above), are the same.
It's all we need and we don't have problems.
Okay ... we're saying: "We need the Yaki as friends, so don't accept missions with yakis as enemys! Don't attack Yakis! We need the pirat as friends, so don't attack pirates in sectors with piratststions!" (Info: We're playing as Bankrupt Assassin O'ren Rock)
That's all. ^^

Think, everybody will be sensible.
If not ...

I installed an english language pack (british) in the forum.
You can talk english; the most users can speak english.
A little help:
Promenade => Off Topic
Holodeck => Creative Forum
Maschinenraum => Technical Support
In the german language pack the buttons are in english too.
Why? I made it so ...
