Well, yeah, but the concept doesn't really support that

You fly badly, you get a low rep. and plane damage. You get
that, you get less money.. less money, less plane maintenance... you can guess the rest

hehe, the French orbinauts suggested Dan should create an OrbiterPassengers addon as well.. I think this is a
brilliant idea!

Imagine - we could actually finish that "story" we tried to add to my Direct Ascent scenario months ago:)

You could have passengers in the back of DG3 (using Freespaces voice) actually bitch and nag about your flying
abilities as well as doubt the quality of your ancestors

Cheers,

hehe.. that's very intriguing.

I would pay waaaaaay more than $32 to hear Freespace bitching about the quality of my ancestors!

Hey, do we get a free copy? We're your mates, arent we

freespace2dotcom · Reply #33 - 13 January 2005, 23:24:10

I'm pretty sure it's not ready yet.

DocHoliday · Reply #34 - 14 January 2005, 08:21:29

Since we are his mates, it should be in our best interest he become filthy rich, so we should make an example and
muster together the few bucks needed

StarLost · Reply #35 - 14 January 2005, 10:04:37

And once we've paid the price, then we can discuss his ancestors shortcomings with impunity and no guilty conscience.

heheh, I actually borrowed this funny phrase from Douglas Adams (one of the few geniouses of our time, may he RIP)
most notable for his Hithchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series

For your reading pleasure I present you with one of his short stories

Enjoy!

I must say, if we're going to go off topic here, I'm going to have to refer you to this story, also made by onw of the
genious' of our time. suited perfectly to a nerd such as myself.
