Glad somebody finally commented on the humor! Yes it was meant to be funny! I dont think it would be readable otherwise!

Some of the cap ship designs look atrocious. That Teladi one that looks like a flying armchair...yuck! Their TL looks intensely poo as well.

The Python is by far and away the most awesomely designed cap ship in the X universe. Its so cool it should have a big fat pair of shades on the front of it.

you mean like the pirate ships?

Tsar_of_Cows · Post by **Tsar_of_Cows** » Mon, 24. May 04, 20:30

yes... but how would you see out of it? Maybe you should have a TS going infront passing out shades: "Warning folks, insanely cool ship coming past, we dont want to burn your retinas!"

Sounds like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy there... brilliant guide BTW. Hmm... you can fly Khaak ships in the galaxy editor? Nice. I'm off.

Well the Odi is useful if you want to get to Ace of Aces 1st so you can cap K's. You'll need it to effectively own the Khaak sectors.
Other than that though....

The uses are listed in my Guide!

YOU CAN DOCK M2/M1's ONCE YOU HAVE LEFT THE SHIPYARD.

Instead of asking for docking clearence, just press the short cut to dock, wich is Shift+D I belive.

Works for me anyway.

Looks great, I like the last draft.

Howz about a TL section, as they are Capships too?

would save us the "What TL?" questions a bit........

simonnance · Post by **simonnance** » Mon, 24. May 04, 23:35

Tsar_of_Cows · Post by **Tsar_of_Cows** » Mon, 24. May 04, 23:36

Tsar_of_Cows · Post by **Tsar_of_Cows** » Tue, 25. May 04, 00:02

Well ,i could do a thread announceing it or something... because TLs are capships... it just keeps everything in one place haveing it here...easy to find.

Suey_Cydal · Post by **Suey_Cydal** » Tue, 25. May 04, 00:05

ts,tp and tl
all for tradin etc just tl alot bigger

simonnance · Post by **simonnance** » Tue, 25. May 04, 00:07

they are capships.

To large to dock at any station but the Shipyard.

Tsar_of_Cows · Post by **Tsar_of_Cows** » Tue, 25. May 04, 00:08

yes... that would be my definition of a Cap Ship.
