Log entries
- I embarked on many a star trek with Commander Jameson, mostly coming to untimely Thargoid-related deaths.
- After trying Virus, I longed to play another David Braben game. It was just a quick test run, but I managed to fly slowly past another spaceship and see it through the right side window, something I never managed to do when I was a kid. I also docked in a space station, but not without a few scratches on the hull. :)
