Indeed, but I have seen this bit of code, so I know it is correct. Guess you were just statistically lucky/unlucky depending on your point of view. Other ppl have complained that they seem to have been searched too often.

In SM the search always happened when you first went into the port and got the goods listing up. This actually made it possible to sit and trade illegal goods without moving, getting busted and trading again, it cost quite a bit of money, and seriously lowered your alignment, but find a nice slaves ...

Usernames and passwords are also case sensitive.

You will get an error if you use the back button at all in this game, as this is prevented from use to prevent several major cheat possibilities.

All of those sound like reasonable approaches. It is generally a good idea to make some money under newbie turns, when buying a new trade ship, make sure you have enough money in the bank still to buy another before making the purchase, this way when you die you have the money to get back on your fe...

The planets in the game will become inhabitable after a random amount of time, I believe this runs from somewhere in the region of from 10 hours to 6 days (approximately). I can't quite remember if you can claim a planet under newbies, I have an inkling that maybe you can't, or possibly can't change...
