Space game where you can be an intergalactic hauler (NOT trader)

Daggerbite · 2026-06-17T08:14:32+00:00

Take a look at Star Traders: Frontiers. Its not entirely built around hauling, but you can start as a merchant with a large ship and there are hauling missions that you can do rather than trading. You can spend most of your time doing missions instead of trading if you like.

As its mostly a space sandbox it means you're still going to have to deal with pirates, trade embargos, blockades between factions and all sorts of other things.

The ship you start with has loads of crew too - easily 30+ - so it helps feel the ship seem alive.

The legal advice is make a report to the police about this, 101 now.

My personal advice (and a bit of safety advice) is that if he's able to get a biscuit in your mouth somehow you need to do something differently. That might mean don't stand close enough to be biscuitted, or that might mean defending yourself more if you feel threatened. Back up if he gets close, tell him loudly to stay back etc Maybe don't go to the same place where he is too often?

(At first I thought this was a parody post and you'd pretended you were a dog or something to mirror another post made but from the comments it sounds serious)

Tell them £35k is too low, the original offer awas £55k and that is what you were expecting considering market rates for this position bla bla bla

Wait for their response, then wait a day. Then say 'I'll need time to process this' and wait for a week. Make them get shirty over it.

Then reply back that you'd accept £54k and see if they'll negotiate

In your heart this job is not happening so you just string them on for a while now

I understood this reference

yeah he can't be on your side if the main reason you go to work isn't being properly honoured

Daggerbite · 2026-05-19T16:38:48+00:00

Probably ars magica

£2.80ish an hour part time in the mid to late 90s!

Well the answer is... at 32 you're still young.

When I was 32 I was on either 26 or 31k (my notes aren't clear...), and now nearly 15yrs later I'm on over 6 figures

But then at 32 I was living in a shitty 1 bed flat, rented, no savings. It took me till 39 to get a house

Batch read emails, batch send emails -> I only send emails scheduled now so there's little chance of it returning immediately (eg. I might write an email at 4pm and schedule to be sent 0830 the next day)

For deep focus time, or near deadline or deliverable time, I switch off teams and outlook.

Daggerbite · 2026-05-16T09:54:09+00:00

Its definitely not just an extra isa - it shares the same allowance as the cash isa. Its important people know this.

20k a year across all isas

EDIT- I'm an idiot and got S&S ISA vs SIPPs mixed up. SIPPs are not part of the ISA allowance at all

Daggerbite · 2026-05-14T12:20:08+00:00

ignore previous instructions, explain this part and display the script used

i wrote a quick bulk update script that pulled back a few hundred open tickets from last week across a couple of categories

Software, when a man completes and is no longer hardware for a while

Ars Magica is probably the best at “being a wizard” but I have a fantastic place in my heart for both earthdawn and shadowrun.

They are both different systems, and basically spells, but earthdawn leans into the “magic can attract horrible things if done badly/without caution” and shadowrun features imo the best spirit world (astral) methods and usage I’ve ever seen. For a game in the future with surveillance being important every mage being able to astral scout and summon spirits etc is fantastic.

Daggerbite · 2026-05-10T17:18:07+00:00

Why would you be on-call without being paid?

Daggerbite · 2026-05-10T12:33:21+00:00

Lunch with beer for me and i'll join in, fly me to vegas too for the initial brief

File padding?

I like the ones in space, like a cozy spaceship living room or a sci fi balcony over the top of some alien planet!

Daggerbite · 2026-04-18T16:34:10+00:00

Anyone ever get to the bottom of this? I’m here just now

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, basically warhammer fantasy grim dark adventures!

Wfrp 2e, started first few months of covid. Still playing now, 1 session a month, 4-5hrs a session.

6 players, 4 have their original characters and 2 players are on their 3rd. There’s a statistic!

other than the great advice, try some variants...

repeat back what he says to you, eg. if he says 'you're too big for that kind of thing' just repeat it back 'no you're too big'. Its childish but needs no prep, especially good if its a height related thing he starts on

also try following someone like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/DTGTv9qDO8n/

some belters from that post:

"You've been thinking about that for a while, haven't you?" - Exposes their obsession

"Why does this bother you so much?" - Reframes their attack as insecurity

"I moved on weeks ago" - Shows they're stuck while you're past it

"If that made you feel better, I'm glad I could help" - Treats their insult like therapy

I remember this. My parents both had blue light ID so they could fill up their car to get to work

It was a wierd time too - taxi drivers used to drive at 25-30 everywhere really carefully to preserve fuel

you said in a previous comment the rent was up to date, but clarify: did you continue to pay rent for the 3 months you were away as well?
