Hello, Someone in multiplayer informed me that DaD hasn't been around in "ages." (Their expression.) Does that make Neophobos sort of a dormant/closed system? I saw in their rules that nobody was allowed in without asking, regardless of clan affiliation. I was hoping for the opportunity to ask permission to buy a ship there. Seems sort of a shame that all the ships there are effectively off-limits. That Gunstar is a smart-looking piece of flying equipment.

Who dares go into the Neophobos system...the shiny, golden, sparkly Neophobos system...the jolly, colorful, candy-like Neophobos system.

What's the going rate on a system, by the way? Or is that a private matter taken on a clan-by-clan basis?

<i> Neophobos is a free system until we hear something different </i> Thanks, admin! BTW I recently bought a new VHF in a different open system. The darned thing is a VHF but it handles like a Starflier. I almost feel guilty about flying it. If I had read the admin's post first I prob'ly would have went and bought the Gunstar. Now, though, I am in no hurry to get rid of the more agile ship I currently own, even though I maintain that the Gunstar is a fine ship and one of the best-looking user c…
