I take my Imperial Cutter out to the Pleiades Nebula region in order to harvest meta-alloys from the "space barnacles" out here. I visit two of the seven barnacles I know of and could have visited the other five since they are all on the same planet, but in the end just couldn't be bothered... they all look the same anyway. During my time farming the meta-alloys I find a few other interesting things... but on the way back to the populated zone I find something that is no only far-from-interesting but also extremely unwelcome and extremely unwanted. A bug that I remember reporting way back during Beta 1.00, so over 18 MONTHS AGO, is back!! Utterly ridiculous and utterly unforgivable! Still, on the plus side, this trip netted me over 41 million credits... in a single transaction! The result is that my trade rank went up by 7% and is now 58% past Tycoon.

Annoyingly, the webcam does flicker an awful lot during this vid. I can only assume this is due to the recent major update to Windows 10. I've no idea why it does this, but if it persists then i'll stop using the webcam. I can't imagine there will be too many people who will be sorry to hear that!
