it depends on how much money i have. if i have a lot of money im an intercepter. if i'm low on money(less than 20Mcr.) i'm a warship.

Question 4 should be answered as D if you are registered, the best possible answer, since you are registered and therefore noble 😄

I think Question #2 is the one that's the problem...I mean, if you don't have a rocket launcher on your ship, the next best thing is to fly around it in circles and make it go BOOM! 😛

It's still a free rocket dispenser even if you don't take the rockets.
You could be right though.

I think what it means is that if you wanted a Crescent Warship, you'd view bounty hunters as nothing more than a free one, and same for heavy fighters.

By the way, Mazca, are you Orlando Bloom in disguise?

Exactly. I think everyone else seems to be having a overly strict interpitation...

Born in the same place. A girl I was talking to a few days ago couldn't talk about anything except Orlando Bloom - specops' best friend - and specops mentioned that he thought you came from Canterbury Kent, as did his best friend's infatuatee.

(E) Sorry, I just don't understand. People use escorts?! I thought that was like training wheels and L plates when you have to have a licensed driver beside you. The only possible reason you would use them would be to hit the max ships in system constraint and slow down the spawning of enemies -- even then it still feels like cheating to make the game easier... 😉

------------------
Its amazing how "tsk, tsik, nik" can mean anything from "There's a bomb in the bus, get help!" to "I'm hungry, feed me"
In case of ambiguity about anything I say - choose the nicest interpretation.

20. Fear my UE Cruiser.
