Well, for pirates, I was thinking of two possibilities. The first would be some method of ambushing the player. Pirates might lure them in with false clues to artifacts or resources or whatever you're trying to find and then attack - leaving the player options of either running away (probable...

That sounds awesome, and exactly the sort of thing I find extremely fun. Indiana Skywalker meets Elite can't make a bad game, I think! Any plans for pirates to play a role, or are you going with the idea that space is so damn vast the chances of meeting a pirate in the same sector are negligible?

If you've got an online account, look for the bit where it lets you pay bills. Generally, paying bills online involves setting up a direct bank transfer exactly of the sort we're talking about here, although they don't make it immediately obvious tht this is the case much of the time...

I think for me it boils down to two lists of features - those essential prior to release, and those I'd be happy to wait a little for... Essentials and highly desirables: - Run programs 'n stuff, preferably not only from a command line. - Ability to transfer files to and fro via USB or Samba -...

A touch belated, but still... moved to the Pandora General forum...

Personally, I'll use whatever nets me the best battery-life to feature ratio. But if ommpc has a decent one (excluding the 100h estimate, which requires very specific bits of hardware to be active, and the others to be turned off, iirc), then that feature list looks very good indeed. Especially...

If Angstron lets me use Firefox, office, and chat apps, and preferably switch between them, then I'll be using that, simply because it's simple, and it'll probably fit the screen-size better. But I'll probably throw Ubuntu onto a card just to see it run. That said I installed Ubuntu onto a...

Cleared and retransfered! Phew!

Re: those who want a dev to reply instead of Chip, it is worth noting that Craig has publicly stated the Chip is now doing the official PR to free up the rest of the team's time. For those that cannot be bothered to click the link, here's a quote: Ubuntu is good PR, there is just no way around...

I doubt they would go bankrupt. Several points: 1. We do not know their financial position. Or more accurately, we do know that they don't have any loans or the like, and that everything has basically been accomplished with private funds. The only bit that likely may have been accomplished...

Ok, I think the two questions have been answered, but basically it boils down to this: Hardware changes, especially those requiring any changes to the PCB or case (as opposed to a simpler chip-exchange where the old and new chips have identically functional pinouts - e.g as with the ram) will...

Another thankyou for the update - actually very useful to know what actually happened with the bank, etc. Now just to sit tight and wait for refunds/reorders and such to get sorted out :)

Moved to other consoles. It isn't really a Pandora topic.

Awesome. Must update my card with this. Race is one of my favourites - shame about no savestates, but, well, the games are for a handheld, and so generally are designed with short play periods in mind, iirc. Thanks for the update, Hooka!

Well, as with any online account it doesn't take that much personal information to request a password change, which would done via an email to your registered email account. And iirc email isn't exactly the most secure of methods of communication - either in transit, or in terms of perfect...

Given that he was an active member here, hadn't had any fallings out with anyone (or not that I know of anyway), and shortly after that message, asked Hando to have his account removed (hence why it says unregistered), I'd guess something pressing really did pull him away from here. I'd always...

For those who haven't gotten the email and think they should, might I make a suggestion? 1) Get online banking, if you haven't already. Mostly because it's awesome. Unless you're worried about the security of it, which is fair enough. 2) Check recent transactions for the next week or so. If...

Good idea. Added to the stickies :)

The current date still hasn't shifted from "end of November", though there are quotes on the other board that imply some may be delivered sooner (basically as soon as they're produced and tested, rather than when every Pandora has been built). If the LCDs prove to take longer than expected to...

I believe the second reward is the 512MB of nand that comes with the 256MB ram chip :).
