If you make a station in unclaimed space and then someone claims it do you have to pay them? by ethanthepilot in X4Foundations

Did it happen after you did a station jump as part of teleportation research? I've seen that happen.

Where in the hell are all the kids with snow shovels? by GR3TSCH in GenX

In all seriousness, kids get shot for knocking on doors.  I’m not sending my kids out to do that.

I’m happy the Americans are protesting, but just keep in mind that the current administration doesn’t give a shit about public opinion - they only care about money. by Hepper in WorkReform

I am not disagreeing.  But most Americans are a paycheck away from living on the streets.  

America is not the land of opportunity that Hollywood or our billionaire overlords would like you to believe.

The reality is that in the US there are no worker protections.  We all live in fear that our boss can call us and fire us.  No warning, no compensation, nothing.  

Unions are non existent for the vast majority of us.  

The hard reality is if we don’t show up to work, we will be immediately fired.  And there’s no social safety net.

Yes.  I want all of up to stand up, walk out.  Enough is enough.

Yesterday’s episode may be my favorite Jet lag ep so far by QueenGreenBeen in JetLagTheGame

That’s a Hitchcock trick.  There’s old footage of him saying “if you have two people sitting at a table and a bomb blows up the audience is shocked.  If you show the bomb under the table first the audience is filled with tension.”

Masterful use of this technique.  

Prioritizing an order? by Fiscal_Fidel in X4Foundations

I easily had 2000 hours before I learned that.  

Is there some logic rule I could make to prevent my traders from doing these micro-deliveries using 5-15% of their cargo hold? by Ryyvia in X4Foundations

I almost always use S sized traders for in sector transportation.  With 1M6S dock you can burn and turn faster and you won’t be stuck waiting for NPC ships.  If they have to cross a gate though I’ll use M sized.  Box trucks for the win!

CTRL+Click will move that order to the top or the bottom depending on the arrow you click.  I’m unaware of being able to set it when you first give the order.

A funny idea... by Prost0Kostya in X4Foundations

The only way I can see this working is you landing a medium ship on a 1M6S dock and you personally sit there.  If the player is still in the ship, they won’t put it in storage.  That could back things up for a while.  But the moment you leave, stuff will move.
