Ah !!

Possibly you can use a dual head card to create an extended desktop as Eve does recognise the widescreen view on my laptop, however all that would do is extend the whole view and would suck come combat time. Never tried as i find that 1280x1024 is loads of space.

Hah, Blue plays as a girl I've sent you some pocket money, ought to buy you any of the Caldari level one frigates- which is probably all you can drive anyway
Yes that was the idea, have main screen as well main screen and have market, journal etc windows on a second monitor rather than superimposed over my main screen ... I do have a duel out card ethariel but as we have found, that still doesn't solve my problem

Northy, you call ~20million ISK 'pocket money' how much do you have FFS???

What to buy ... what to buy!!?

*********** hell!!!


Norhty - that explains the 'loose change' ... I had earned about ~180k melsen and I have just shy of 20.4k!! now, thought ~20.2million was a bit of a weird sum to be transferred!!!

I hope ethariel has shamed you into putting your hand a bit deeper?!?!? .... who whats to come and blow me up in my training ship before I buy a new one?!?!

Enjoy the game, as Northy says, the learning curve really ramps up, but please once you are in a frigate with a couple of guns, start working on your learning skills if you think you will be playing the game long term, 2 months working on them will save you soooo much time when it comes to L5 skills later.

Blue, since you've got nearly as much cash as me, the only donation I feel like making is a big bagfull of railgun shots I bet you 10p that you've bought a ship you don't have the skills to drive, incidentally...

Be warned, the difficulty curve's an absolute *******, the tutorial's harder than completing some games But that's good, because it helps to keep the haklfwits out Noithing worth doing comes easy...
looks like the nearest thing to elite that i've seen...downloading now! was recently considering buying an old archimedes riscos computer on ebay so that i could play elite again!

It's a bit like Elite, and quite a bit like Mechwarrior 2 I reckon, and a lot like Tai Pan on the spectrum.
