    Yeah, good thing there isn´t a French faction in FL. They´d just turn and run away from all attackers while eating cheese. (I´m joking. I like the French language, country, and culture.)

    I´m sure this has been answered before, but in the IGN preview, it says you can fly from one star system to another, and I´ve also heard that you must use a jump gate to get from one system to another. Are both ways possible? Or do you have to use a jump gate?

    Maybe this should be moved to the spoiler forum? Possibly? I could be wrong. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    That´s even better. I can´t wait to see how each of the 168 places to land look <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Thanks for the info, guys.

    Is there dynamic trade prices or are they set for every system? <i> <b> Set for every system and every place you land....BUT there are well over 160 places to potentially sell stuff. I´ve been to all but 15. There are several ways of finding the best/worse pricing. Hard to explain the details without seeing it, but the game does keep track of places you land, and the prices goods will fetch. The Neural Net has a section to show you best prices and worse prices of the places you´ve landed. The NAV map shows all the stations you´ve visited (sortable) and when you click on one, it zooms in on the system the base resides in. Very cool!! </i> </b> Edited by - Stinger on 08-02-2003 05:13:54

    You can see games going gold up to about 2 weeks before release. That´s about how long it takes to get the CDs pressed and boxed up, and shipped out to retailers.
