<ducks>

do the con stores affect the game if you dont use them? or do they change economics on the stations too?

if you think that is nice then the new replacement under development is even better. read about the Pyra....

ok just looking at Military Stingray Mk II , Pelamis or Remorse of Conscience oxp's at sub0.3 LM Pelamis might be a bit slow, however at 0.47 RoC seems a it too fast maybe a Far Arm Tanker? at 50t on the small side of what i wanted but has a 10t extension available..... damn this is harder than buyi...

All stations should respond - you need to have the station targeted first, though. You can remap the keys if you'd prefer them in a different place - find the keyconfig.plist file and copy it to your AddOns folder, then open it in a text editor (not Notepad, but Wordpad is fine) and change the keys...
