IE10 is the worst of a poor series.

Chrome for me, Google already knows everything about me anyway ;)

... And to life in general, for that matter

Oh, and will indeed travel further out as well. In fact did my first random jump the other day, just because of that. Could only take enough fuel to return home from 150 LY out, so I had to decline most of the SOS calls. The ones I could answer probably make it worthwhile sending a ship that far out for 2-3 days. Building quicker WHG's at the moment to speed things up and make them really profitable, but in a lovely catch 22 situation I need to make proper money to make money properly...

Thanks for all the advice and explanations guys. Will make sure that I'll also ferry more fuel and meds around then, even though cargo bay space remains at a premium. Am close to getting 50k power on 1 ship so that they won't laugh in my face when trying to answer a COM mission. Hope that Rostin's right on them ;)

Still biding my time until my ship(s) are ready to do COM missions and kick some pirate arses. So it's SOS missions for now. Being a taxi corp :p  bringing stranded crews home is our raison d'être. I'm not really a mobile petrol station however (though when I'v e enough fuel left I'm willing to sell it at SOS signals), and definitely not Flying Doctors in space, so ignore calls for medicines. But with three ships on continuous rotation, I sometimes lose track of which signals I've already visited.

Therefore, I'd love to have the option to mark a (visited) signal "not interesting", so that I don't waste valuable jump calculation time on them until another humble man trying to make his way in the universe fixes the problem.

Another needed improvement is a notification informing you whoever took over your investigation. 

Behind that smile hides a declaration of war I sense 

There are 40 corps out there, and a lot of them don't show any activity at all. I should know, as one of a few things on my to-do list before abandoning my own one-man corp for a real one, is to get GTF on the first page. Having monitored the power ratings of many a nearby corp, I noticed over a longer period of time that there's hardly any fluctuation, if at all. Some of those corps are taking up valuable slots on planets and moons not overly far away. The Galactic Taxi Federation is a peaceful corp and seeks good relations with other corps. Avoiding needless fuel consumption is vital to our industry however ;), so having to fly a quadrant further away just to leave abandoned outposts of inactive players alone is not desirable.

If the corps ranking would, in addition to the total # of players, show the ACTIVE number of captains, it'd help in judging whether or not it'd be morally defensible to take a slot by force.

What would also be nice, not just for bragging rights, but as a general indication of what you're up against, is if the same ranking would show the total amount of solars all players in a corp possess together, and maybe the amount of RP and QP as well. SOL Corp could make it mandatory to publish a corp's accounts ;)

Ooooooo   It that legal
