Thanks. Having read through a few pages of the forums.

It turns out your are correct. Your game needs to connect to a server "whenever you need to conduct a server moderated transaction like trading." - Michael Brooks, Executive Producer.

You need to connect everytime you trade?! That's not from time to time, that's every time you dock... at least thats how I played Elite (and F:E2, F:FE).

Guess I'm back to not buying this, or a Rift until there's another 'must have' game.

Submission + - Peter Sunde Is a Free Man Again

jones_supa writes: Former Pirate Bay spokesperson Peter Sunde was released from prison this morning. Peter is expected to take some time off to spend with family and loved ones before returning to normal grind. He was arrested in late May this year. Despite being accused of non-violent crimes, Peter was transferred to a high-security unit. His time in prison is described being tough. There was no concern for high values such as vegan diet or even proper treatment of depression. Peter also lost 15 kg of weight. After the experience he tweeted "My body just got re-united with my soul and mind, the parts of me that matters and that never can be held hostage."

Comment Re:Embedded is one of those fuzzy words (Score 1) 68

The term embedded in this context just means a fancy type of hyperlink that displays contents from another site on your webpage. This is exactly equivalent to hotlinking images, and it can be stopped in exactly the same way. Anyhow, hyperlinks are not infringement, so it's obvious by extension that embedded linking isn't infrintement either.
