For a while the source code to starship tycoon was on a dead hard drive, but I finally recovered the data this weekend and started trying to get it to build properly so I can get fixes done etc.
I’m trying to fit that around other stuff, and the code is very old, so it will take a whle, but I thought i’d announce some rare news regarding this game 
That is AWESOME, Cliffski! 8)
Are you planning any possible ability to allow modding of it more than just re-writing the code to create another mission? 
Either way, still the best news I’ve heard in a long time!! :mrgreen:
No idea yet, I need to get the damn thing to work right with my new text engine and all the rest of its quirks yet.
I’ve got a game where a crewman is not in the crew list, not on leave, but shows up in the cabin,
I ended up selling and re-buying the cabin to get rid of him (he was a pilot) but he keeps begging for a pay rise.
also, I can’t pause the game when I have notifications from the crew, which is a pain when you’ve got the game speed set to fast.
I think I may have somehow left the pilot on annother planet on that game…
I gave up on it, but I do have the savegame for it. don’t know how I managed to leave a planet without a pilot, and in any case, his picture should not have shown up in the CQ.
ran into another problem too, a crashy one, tried a bunch of things, rebooting, making sure everything was shut down etc, and tried changing crew, and cargo, heading etc, but after a given amount of time, the game crashes.
here’s the last few lines of the debug code. I’ve keeped a savegame of this one too.

END DEBUG---I was close to wining that one too! fortunately I had an earlier savegame that I was able to go back to.
Damn. i suspect this is a symptom of some really evil bug that’s corrupting data somewhere. They are a nightmare to track down, especially with really old source code.
if you do make a patch, can you do something about how when “autopause on when dock” is check, that the range gets updated? as it is currently, you have to play a second before the range gets updated.
Hey, Cliffski!
I was just wondering if anything was still going on with ST1? Or will there be an ST2?
