    Well, if you're looking for another game to occupy your time...

    12.224.252.182 port 2002 has my game, Tweakers Anonymous. It is a very small universe (999 sectors) game with 960 turns per day, and the biggest thing setting it apart from the rest is that I have a moderate amount of ship edits. The specifics of my edits can be found in a thread elsewhere in this forum--a thread which will hopefully be made sticky when someone becomes a mod for the forum

    I'll refrain from further chat about my game in A's game's thread hehe...

        I would just like to announce that I received an invitation by aeturneus to come back to TW, but unfortunatly, I cannot accept it.

        I'll let you know along this month if I'll manage to get some free time (and then some nice guy will tell me where I can get that damned registration-free Swath!)

            Yes SWATH is very nice, however I don't see paying $26 for something to play a game that's already free. It's just ridiculous.

                JTWAT is decent, but it's got an ugly interface, its not as easy to just glance at your stats... and SWATH has the best haggling I've seen. I've yet to get a "We're not interested." while using SWATH.

                But, JTWAT is probably what I'll end up using once my eval runs out in SWATH.

                  Err, that doesn't make much sense to me. You'd rather pay $26 for an enhancement to something you were already paying for than something that was free? I think of the $26 for SWATH as purchasing a registration for the crippleware that is the game TradeWars, expanding the game from its basic functionality to automate some of the more boring parts and let you focus on the strategy instead of the mundane day to day activities.

                  Tradewars with a good helper is an entirely different game...

                    I would have to agree, the $26 I spent on Swath went to 2-3 programmers who's work I like. I consider the bombs that I have bought in the past, and the $50 that I spent on those, what a waste.

                    When I think of the $26 for Swath, I think of it like I think of a tip when I go out to dinner - they did a damn good job, above normal, and I would tip above normal.

                    But that's just me...

                      I'd definitely agree. Also, the tools in SWATH full version (as compared to the crippled eval. version) are worth every penny, and when properly used, definitely give a person a bit of a competitive edge. If your going to put hours and hours into a game like Tradewars, why shoot yourself in the foot and go with a second or third class helper like J-****? It sort of works, but it is not nearly as powerful as SWATH.

                        WotW has been rebanged. The map is new - but the settings are the same! Everything in the first post applies, so check the first post in this thread for settings.

                          Well, yes I am in the new game ---- but STARDOCK is MISSING! I am at sector 2932 (where Stardock is located according to the settings-but I am definately ALONE.)

                          By the way, I will be actively performing my moves until next Tuesday... On Tuesday, I will be going in to the Hospital and undergoing insensive back sergery. The sergeons will be removing my three (3) lowest discs in my back. The lowest disc will be fused. The other Two will be removed and replaced with Titanium posts, pins, and mesh. OUCH! Need-less-to-say, I will be out of the net for between 3-5 days (hositalized).....So if anyone runs into me in the meantime, I only ask is to have a little mercy...If not - Sure, I understand, survival of the fittest....but I will also remeber

                            I found SD at 3628, but it is brioke. I can't land at SD. I should have deployed figs and seen if Cpt. Z would show up.

                              Thanks for letting me know where Stardock is located (sector 3628 vice 2932), though Swissy is right - We can't land on it...Only Aeturneus has access to it.
